FOREST, AMD STREAM. 
WESTERN TRAP. 
Hall vs. Cadwallader. 
Loami, 111., Oct. 12. — W. H. Cadwallader, a trade representative 
traveling in Illinois, rolled in to the town where dwelleth one 
Tom Hall. As both were looking for a little practice, a match 
at 50 live birds, 25 each, was arranged. The result herewith shows 
that none lived to get away, although the sixteenth bird that came 
to Cad was a lively outgoing puzzler, with life enough to get 
beyond the boundary line. It was a hard race, though the birds 
were not above the average, yet the fast ones were puzzling. 
Scores : 
Cadwallad er 222222222222222*222222222—24 
Hall 2222222222222222222222222—25 
At Dows, la. 
Dows, la., Oct. 13. — The shoot held here yesterday was not 
patronized to the extent which justified holding same two days. 
Seven shot through the entire programme, three of whom were 
traveling men, viz. : Gilbert, who missed but 6 out of 200, and 
Chas. Budd and Fred Lord, neither of whom were in good 
form or quite at home in the strong cold wind that kept up 
throughout the entire day. Those for the trade present were 
Fred Whitney and Marshall Sharp. 
For the amateurs, Russell Klein shot well, 178 out of 200. Henry 
Steege was well up with 172. Scores of those who shot through 
the programme of 200 targets: 
F. Gilbert 194, R. Klein 178, H. Steege 172, C. W. Budd 162, 
L. M. Howell 156, J. Peterson 155, F. H. Lord 153. 
At Crawfordsville. 
Crawfordsville, Ind., Oct. 12.— The tournament held here the 
past two days, while not favored with the usual good crowds, the 
scores made were of the usual very high order. It is true that 
the conditions, such as comfortable club house, smooth grounds, 
finest of background, oiliest working traps, no friction anywhere 
in any way connected with the shoot, all go to make up a shoot 
where all shoot with pleasure, and scores are the "best ever." 
Crosby did not duplicate his former score made here early in the 
season, but he lost only 3 out of 225. Riehl and Keck were pres- 
ent, and Frank made second professional average. Guy Burn- 
side got rather gay, and his score of 435 out of 450 will not soon 
be excelled. Austin Flynn also shot well up. Scores:

At Afch'soo. 
Atchison, Kans., Oct. 10.— Last week was an eventful one among 
the trapshooters of Atchison and the West. It seemed like old 
times indeed to meet with Lou Erhardt and mingle with him while 
he managed a tournament for the Forest Park Gun Club. 
While so many of the tournaments are having poor attendance 
it was a pleasure to note that our fifty shooters forsook duck 
shooting and shot with the club for two days. With this full 
attendance still an unusual thing happened. Mr. J. Heath won 
both the high and low score for amateur, being the only one to 
shoot in every event. The only other two men to shoot through 
were Harold Money and Billy Heer. They were at their best, as 
they tied on 289. Harold made 147 out of 150 first day, and Billy 
gained 3 the second day and made a tie. Hon. Tom Marshall 
was surely shooting well, as he only missed 5 out of 120. He was 
compelled to depart for other fields of labor. 
R. Dougherty and F. Dougherty, of Bean Lake, Mo., shot well, 
as they are in practice shooting ducks. Andy Fulton came out 
with a 14-gauge gun, and after using up his shells, tried other 
guns, with poor results. Everybody was delighted with the good 
time,' and hope that Atchison and Lou (Airy) will hold at least 
two yearly tournaments. Scores follow show the number shot at 
and broke: W. H. Heer shot at 150, broke 144; D. Elliott 150, 136;

Spencer In Oklahnma. 
Blackwell, Okla., Oct. 12.— The gun club here was pleased to 
welcome Chas. Spencer, the St. Louis expert trap shot and 
trade representative. It did not take long to get together a few 
of the enthusiasts, and all were entertained by Mr. Spencer with 
shotgun and fancy rifle shooting. He broke 100 targets straight. 
The race between Cornelius, Nate Pettit and W. S. Prettyman 
for the club medal is a close one. Scores of 48 out of 50 are often 
made. 
All the club members are busy getting everything in shape for 
the Oct. 26, 27 and 28 tournament 
In Other Places. 
The Matthews, Ind., Gun Club will hold a live-bird tourna- 
ment Oct. 25 and 26. As live-bird shoots are seldom given, this 
will be of much interest to the Indiana trapshooting followers. 
Mr. C. W. McMakin, of Battle Creek, Mich., while hunting, had 
the misfortune to shoot off one cf his own fingers. He is a prac- 
tical man, and congratulates himself that he escaped as well as he 
did. He reasoned that it might have been worse. 
Saturday last there was a shoot at Kelly's place, which is across 
the upper free bridge at Peoria, III. The genial proprietor pre- 
pared a fish fry, which was set up free during the day. This was 
the annual shoot, there being a good supply of both live birds 
and targets. Shooters were present from Metamora, Morton, 
Spring Bay, Mossville, Washington, Pekin and Peoria. 
A. C. Connors' shoot, held Saturday and Sunday, was some- 
thing out of the usual order. Professionals were only permitted 
to shoot at 100 targets, and those not to be connected in any way 
with the tournament. Thus the high averages will go to the 
amateurs. The local papers printed in the vicinity of Pekin and 
Peoria, 111., have been stating "that formerly the representatives 
of various ammunition companies have carried off the money and 
prizes at tournaments." This is not the fact. The professionals 
heretofore have shot for targets only, and as they invariably won 
the high averages, it is to this that Mr. Connor objects and has 
sought to remedy in his programme. 
The new club at Leroy, 111., held their first practice shoot on 
Saturday last. Such a good time was the result that the man- 
agement forgot the newspaper man, hence the scores cannot be 
produced. 
At Toledo, O., the gun club had an interesting shoot on Oct. 
9. They had as guest, Mr. Frank Foltz, of McClure, O. He ran 
up a score of 97 out of 100, which was the best ever made on these 
grounds, and the targets were fast ones, 60yds. 
It is reported that a herd of cows has been turned loose upon 
the shooting grounds used by the Kalamazoo, Mich., Gun Club, 
and as the members do not care to bag any of them, the practice 
events heretofore held by this club will be abandoned for this 
year. 
A /gun club has just been organized at Mt. Clemens, Mich. The 
membership numbers 24. Target shooting will be the pastime. 
The officers are as follows: President, Frank A. Compau; Secre- 
tary, Frank D. Petlier; Treasurer, Frank L. Tuscana. The 
members are enthusiastic, and propose to hold a State tourna- 
ment soon. 
At the last shoot between the Hermitage, of Nashville, and the 
Franklin, of Tennessee, the old team was too strong, and won 
out with plenty to spare. Each man shot at 100 targets, viz.: 
Hermitage — Legler 89, Meaders 94, Watkins 81, Martin 81, Armis- 
tead 82; total 427. Franklin— Campbell 83, Cliff 95, Ridley 57, 
Polk 81, Babb 79; total 395. The Peters trophy has caused much 
interest to be taken by the clubs in and about Nashville. 
The Ishpeming Rod and Gun Club has been formed at Mar- 
quette, Mich., with some very pushing sportsmen. The officers 
are: President, Dr. A. Deadman; Vice-President, Dr. Louis 
Biegler; Secretary, Harold Trosvig; Treasurer, J. J. Johnson. 
There will be regular practice shooting events at the trap. 
The Nicholas Park Gun Club, of Jacksonville, 111., held a shoot 
on Thursday last, using the new trap .for the first time. The 
object was to select a team for a contest with the Willow Branch 
Club. 
The Ewell Gun Club, of Spring Hill, Tenn., has challenged the 
Hermitage Club, of Nashville, for the Peters trophy, now held 
by it. 
Two gentlemen while shooting at targets on the grounds of the 
South Bend Gun Club were hurt by the use of shells which burst. 
A doctor was called to examine the eye of one of the unfor- 
tunates. 
The shooting off of the tie between Hugh M. Clark and Max 
Witz, at Fort Wayne, Ind., will take place on Sunday, Oct. 16. 
There will also be a team shoot, five members of the Wabash 
club against the Corner Rod and Gun Club. These matches will 
no doubt prove interesting. 
Garfield Gun Club. 
Chicago, Oct. 15. — The appended scores were made on our 
grounds to-day on the twenty-fifth assembly of the faithful. In 
the trophy shoot, Dr. Shaw, Eaton, Goetter and Stone all tied 
for Class A trophy on 23, while Lute won Class B on 21 and Dr. 
Reynolds Class C on 13. 
After the trophy shoot, Bullard and Goetter captained teams 
formed by chosing sides. Bullard's team won both matches on 
scores of 59 to Goetter's 45 in first and 55 to 45 in second; 70 
targets to each team in first, and 60 to each team in second con- 
test. Only six men were to a side in the last race. 
The day was an ideal one for target shooting, being cool, and 
almost no wind. The attendance was not what it should be, but 
all passed off pleasantly, and all enjoyed themselves immensely.

Dayton Gun Club. 
The second monthly amateur shoot of the Dayton, O., Gun 
Club, held on Oct. 14, may surely be counted a success, as few 
hitches occurred, and the programme was run through smoothly. 
The towns of New Lebanon, Greenville, Lewisburg, New Paris, 
Newark, Springfield and Eaton were represented by shooters, and 
the visitors all had a good time. 
The weather could not have been bettered. 
Rolla Heikes was high gun, breaking 160 out of 180. Taylor 
second, with 158. Watkins third, 157, and Cord fourth, with 155. 
Brandenburg, Potter and Wysong captured the three low gun 
moneys on 59, 66 and 68 out of 90.

the Cincinnati Gun Club. The squib which recently appeared ia

Rohrer's Island and Tipp gun clubs shot a match at Tip- 
pecanoe City, on Oct. 13, thirteen-man teams. The day was 
cloudy and chilly, and a strong wind was blowing most of the 
time. The match was won by Rohrer's Island, of Dayton, their 
team leading from the start and finishing 33 targets to the good 
with a score of 527 to 494. The club medal was to have gone to 
high man in the team match, but instead of having the three lead- 
ers shoot off the tie, it was decided to shoot for the medal miss- 
and-out. Twelve men entered and the medal was won by Pease, 
of Vandalia, with 5. 
Trap Around Reading. 
Reading, Pa., Oct. 8.— The annual fall target tournament of the

Tkavers Island, N. Y., Oct. 15.— The attendance was slim at 
Travers Island, as the counter attraction of the last racing day at 
Morris Park caught a majority of the shooting members. 
Conditions were fairly good, although a high wind and fast birds 
served to keep down the scores. 
The first shoot for the monthly cup was easily won by Mr. 
S. G. Schroeder, a new recruit, who had never taken a prize be- 
fore to-day. He won the first special cup event also. The other 
two events were taken by Mr. F. W. Perkins. The scores follow:
