Grand Crescent Tournament. 
Chicago, Ill.—There was a mixture of things to-day at 
the park, when the Chicago club, with all their visit¬ 
ors and men connected with their tournament, ran in on 
Manager Teeple without a bit of warning. The grounds 
were ready for a club shoot. The Chicago club’s tour¬ 
nament was finished on two traps, and then there was a 
good club shoot held, and all their regular events were 
run off before nightfall, and that with twenty-five shooters. 
Mr. Lem Willard won first event with a 20 straight. 
Mr. Hess, the second with 15. Dr. Carson and George 
Roll tied on the handicap event with 23 — and it was a 
handicap, too, with Joe Barto on 23yds., and Willard 
22, Young 21, and so on down to 16. The last was a 
practice event, in which Frank Riehl was the best with 
24 out of 25. 
The miss-and-out event was long-drawn-out. Billy 
Stannard made a run of 49, and Dr. Carson 48. Lee 
Barkley came up as far as the 32d round before he 
fell by the wayside. Ouade ran 25, Lem Willard 24; 
Hess, Hanagan and Chamberlain ran 11. This “miss-out” 
put some life and variety into the game. Scores:

July 22. — Tournaments come fast at the Chicago Trap- 
shooters’ Association Park. This day was set apart by 
the Grand Crescent club for tournament purposes and a 
regular programme was issued with 200 targets. 
This proved a good thing for the traveling men, and a 
few of those from a distance who remained over from 
the previous days. 
The weather was extremely hot and sultry, very little 
air astir and the sun came straight down on the shooters’ 
heads, making them long for the new park, which is soon 
to take the place of the old one used for lo, these many 
years. 
In view of holding the next Illinois State shoot, and 
the prospects for securing the G. A. H., a permanent 
ground has been secured. 
The shooting of Barkley, Riehl and Barber was the 
feature of the day.. Stannard came fourth, Vietmeyer 
fifth and Clancey sixth. The money was Jack Rabbit, 
5 cents for each target, and the balance divided 50, 30, 
20. per cent. 
Barkley passed the best part of the afternoon without 
a skip, and never stopped until the 164th target. During 
the balance of the events he lost two more, and finished 
with 197. Riehl and Barber had a pretty face, and Riehl 
came off with 192 to R. R.’s 190. In the amateur class 
there were four above the 90 mark—Jesse Young 188, 
Barto 182, Einfeldt 181, Chamberlain 181. Some of the 
usual top-notchers did not show up well to-day, too 
much sweqt in the eye. 
Why of course the shoot was well managed, with two 
traps, and Teeple on the outside and Shogren in the 
office, all things moved along in strictly apple-pie order. 
At all club gatherings there is a good hot dinner, 
presided over by Mrs. Teeple, which is much enjoyed 
by shooters and visitors. Scores:

Chicago Gun Club Tournament. 
Chicago, July 21.—Instead of their regular Saturday 
afternoon shoot, the Chicago Gun Club held a regular 
tournament, open to all amateurs. It was well patron¬ 
ized. This club has some excellent members, who as¬ 
sist the officers; and all took part and helped out. 
The day was fine, though rather warm, and many 
good scores were made by both professionals and ama¬ 
teurs. Lee Barkley came through with the loss of but 
7. Frand Riehl was second with 13, and Stannard 15. 
The high amateurs were Willard 188, Hughes 184, Roll 
182. 
The shooters present were Alex. Vance, Capron, Ill.; 
Dr. Herbert, Poplar Grove; John Hughes, Milwaukee, 
Wis.; A. Anderson, Lemont; W. R. Chamberlain, Rock¬ 
ford; Frank Riehl, Alton, Ill.; J. Quade, Blue Island. 
The Chicago men were F. Myrick, J. Barto, Lem Wil¬ 
lard, C. A. Hanagan, George Franklin, Robt. R. Skin¬ 
ner, C. W. Clifford, Lee Barkley, W. D. Stannard, E. 
C. Morton, J. Young, Chas. Tracey, H. W. Vietmeyer, 
J. M. Wilcockson, M. J. Webber and W. R. Clancey. 
It was a pleasure to meet Mr. Robert Skinner, who 
formerly held forth at Lexington, Ky. Then another 
young man not lately seen at a shoot was Max Hensler, 
who had just returned from Colorado, and he was 
wearing a sweater that was much seen at Indianapolis 
during the G. A. II.; and shooters will remember the 
Ask Me $3,000!” Max is yet a little thin in flesh, but 
“brown as a berry,” and reports having spent two 
weeks on horseback rounding up cattle. Totals:

Mr Alsop's Important High Score. 
Pittsburg, Pa.. July 24.—Please announce to the read¬ 
ers of Forest and Stream that Mr. W. T. Alsop scored 
85 in the Preliminary Handicap at the Grand American 
Handicap tournament, not 75, as appeared in Forest and 
Stream and other papers. 
Mr. Alsop’s scores in this event appear as 16, 17, 20, 15 
and 17 on the sheets given out to the press, but the 
footing is made 75. While it is clearly a clerical error 
upon the part of one of our transcribing clerks, Mr. 
Alsop seems to think that it was done intentionally by 
some one connected with the office work at Indianapolis. 
It is unnecessary for me to say that such statement is 
ridiculous. 
Elmer E. Shaner, Sec’y-Mgr. 
[W’e feel convinced that an anxious public will rest 
tranquilly, now that it knows how near to excellence 
was Mr. Alsop’s performance.]
