Chicago Trap Shooters Association. 
Chicago, Jan. 2i.— Editor Forest and Stream: The trapshooters 
of Chicago have been for some time looking for a suitable loca- 
tion ,where convenient grounds might be secured. Mr, John Wat- 
son, being compelled ,to close up his shooting part at Burnside 
because of the crusade against pigeon shooting in Chicago, the 
shooters at once set out to secure the park as a home for the 
scattered target gun clubs of Chicago and vicinity. 
The buildings in the park were purchased from Mr.. Watson 
by the newly formed Chicago Trapshooters' Association,., which was 
launched at a meeting held last Friday evening. This Association 
is at present composed of twentj'-five members, representing nearly 
every gun club of Chicago and its suburbs. At the meeting the 
following officers were elected: President, F. W. Mrick; Vice- 
President, C. C. Hess;" Secretary and Treasurer, E. B. Shogren. 
Board of Directors, Fred H. Lord, H. W. Vietmeyer, Geo. Eck 
and D. A. Hanagan. 
The other members of the Association are Oswald Von Lengerke 
J. H. Amberg, Dr. C. W. Carson, Dr. R. B. Miller, C. E. Willard' 
J. B. Barto, L. C. Willard, J. G. Parker, Jr., S. T. Kinney, M. j! 
Weber, John Edwards, G. H. Steenberg, Samuel Young, H. 
Walsh, L. H. Wilson, and J. W. Coakley. 
The object of' this Association is to maintain the Watson Park 
shooting grounds for the benefit of all the gun clubs that will 
locate at the park. Each club will have its own set of traps, over 
which they will shoot their club contests. The Association will 
employ a superintendent, who will reside in the park, and who will 
look after all the arrangements of handling the traps and see to 
the comforts of the shooters. 
The Association will hold its inaugural tournament on Feb. 20, ' 
21 and 22, which will be strictly an amateur shoot. All well-known 
high class amateurs Will be handicapped to shoot from the 18 to 
20yd. mark. There will be added money for high averages. 
Programmes will be ready in a week, and same can be had on 
application to E. B. Shogren, Room 940, First Natlional Bank 
Building, ^ Chicago, 111. 
Poughfceepsie Gun Club. 
PouGHKEEPSiE, Jan. 21.— Six men faced the elements as well as 
the score to-day, and did some good work, disagreeable and un- 
favorable conditions notwithstanding. Capt. Traver made highest 
score " in single event by breaking 25 straight. Marshall was a 
close second for this distinction, with 24 to his credit, and shot in 
the best form of any one present by breaking 45 Put of 50 shot at. 
Smith, too, "had his eye," as scores in cup event and shoot-off 
will show. Marshall has for some time back been handicapped 
with an ill-fitting gun, but did some good work nevertheless. His- 
work to-day shows how much better the gun works since its 
faults were corrected.
