The gun club at Neche, n. D., has Just
imported several dozen quail from this state
and liberated them in the valleys of the
streams adjacent thereto. The quail is not
found in that part of Dakota, but it is
thought that the conditions are favorable to
their propagation.
Speaking of the champion trap shots of
the country the Sportsman S Review says:
At the Memphis tournament Of 1896 Charlie
Budd made the highest average for the whole
shoot at targets and pigeons. very closely
followed by the Omaha tornado, Frank Par
melee, who also did superb work throughout.
Both of these men rank i'll the very first
flight of Americas shooting contingent, and
may be seen at the principal tournaments,
and generally at the close their names are
away up among the winners. They are both
great shots. and whether in single or double
harness, form a very hard pair to beat from
the very fact that the moro the shooting
is mixed up the more certain are they to
excel.
EX.Champion Kansas City Jim Elliott gives
1t out cold that after the first of October he
will be ready to meet all Corners at live
pigeons for money, mud or mush. He in
tends to commence with Gilbert, Parmelee,
Budd and Grim and finish up on Fulrord,
Brewer and the other eastern cracks. Come
on, boys, twenty can play as we'll as one.
Frank Parmelee, Cooley Brucker. Ted
Alderman, J. c. Read and a number of
other crack Omaha trap Sshots will attend
the monster tournanent. of the Dupont
Smokeless Powder company at Watson
Shooting park, Chicago, August 3, 4. 5, 6, Z
and 8. The Windy city Will be overrun with
the great pigeon shots OF the world. Even
Europe will be represented, while every shot
OF any consequence in america will be on
hand. The worlds championship is to be
shot for, and nothing but live birds will be
used in the various events. In speaking
with Colonel Parmelee last night he said:
The two leading events of the tournament
are the team race and the worlds cham
as hlo ldtt II dht OUt I'll IL
and perhaps two days in their entirety to
shoot. The conditions governing the event
ontitle any five men, residents of any one
state, to constitute az team, providing their
names are cn the membership roll of an
organized gun club. 1t does not necessarily
follow that they must be ell members of
any one club. Twenty-siX teams are al
ready entered and it Is estimated that the
winning team will walk off with $4,000.
While this team. shoot will be decidedly in
teresting,' continued the colonel, lit won't
be in 1t with the worlds championship race.
Everything else will be thrown in the shade
by the struggle for the mastery for the
possession Of the Dupont cup, which rep
resents the supremacy of the world at live
bird shooting. 1t has only recently dawned
upon the minds of the shooting world that
there was an actual championship cup in
existence. 1t was thrown open to the world
last fall at Baltimore. There had been
so many alleged championships placed
IN existence for advertising purposes
that the shooters attached but little
Importance to the event, and the inaugural
contest had but a trife over fifty COMPETE
tors. Fred Gilbert of Spirit Lake. Ia. was
the winner. Since then there have been
three struggles for its possession. Gilbert
defended it twice. once successfully. At
the second contest at Chicago George l..
Deter, a milwaukee, man, was the victor,
and On July s last another battle was fought.
Gilbert was the challenger and Deter the
defender. The race was at 100 birds. Gill
