WESTERN TRAP. 
Jacksonville, III;, Sept. 15. — The second shoot of the circuit 
of Illinois tournaments now in progress was held here Sept. 13 
and 14. There were the best of the Illinois trap shots, together 
with seven traveling men. The full delegation of Illinois men 
were present, viz., Vietmeyer, Crosby, Boa, Riehl, Gilbert and 
Young. It was. interesting to note the rivalry between Gilbert and 
Crosby, and when the "smoke had c' eared away," they had made 
a tie, 381 out of 4C0. Gilbert "fell down" in one event, when he 
lost 4, thus the tic. John Boa came third, with Young fourth. 
Burnside was high atnaleui-j beating out Tom Hall by 1 target, 
viz., 301 to 3C0. Groves, the "booster" for the home club, was 
next, with 341. Scores l

Post Trophy. 
Broken Bow, Neb. — In connection with the Clayton-Blcvins 
match for the Denver Post trophy, held here Sept. 7 and S, there 
was held a two day.;' tournament. Some very good scores were 
recorded, although there were but ten shooters present. 
Those present expressed themselves as well pleased with their 
entertainment. i _ ,J i 
Clayton is after all the Western trophies, and this being his 
third attempt to capture the trophy, it was a case of "have to." 
Standing at 19yds., Clayton made the very fine score of 92, while 
the distance no doubt handicapped Mr. Blevhts,- as his score of 82 
will show. : 
Clayton will be called upon to defend the cup again, as it will 
be up during the tournament to be held here- Sept. 29 and 30. 
This shoot will be the last one held before the game- season opens 
and should have a large attendance. " 
There was only one trade man present, A. H, Hardy, and he 
made good by winning high average with 162 out of 170. Old 
Dan Bray was second, 1 less. .Waddington got in the second day, 
and was high, as he failed to "bust" but 3. Scores first day, 100
