prominent amateur teams at Clinton,

Elliott Heard From.

Some weeks ago the American Field
of Chicago. published an article in
which it stated that a Chicago gentle
man desired to back two or three west
ern pigeon shots against j. A. r. Eli
oft of Kansas City, the American Field
champion wing shot. Elliott stated at
the time that he was in no condition TO
shoot matches, as his business inter
ests prevented his doing as he would
like. lie stated, however, that he
would be ready in September to shoot
any number of matches with any OF the
pigeon shots Of the country, and new
signifies his intention of making his
word good. 1t viii be remembered that
Elliot stated that he did not care to
challenge any one, as he had won all OF
the honors that were worth winning in
this country, and the men who were
so anxious 10 shoot against him lad
won no honors that he craved. We
print below copy of the letter which
Elliott has sent TO the American Field
and which he furnishes us:
Editor American Field-Dear Sir:

from his popular story of that name.
/ understand that the dramatist has

He has retained the main figures for

When it was announced among

There were II events each day, includ-
ing the medal shoot, which was open
TO all shooteres in Northern Indiana and

solid gold, and was first introduced by
this club. 1t has travelled over a half
dozen counties, and was for the fourth

The club has one of the finest grounds
in the West. II is admirably situated
with relation 10 the city, being but
one mile from the court house, and is
inside the city limits, and its natural
advantages make 1t an ideal shooting
ground. The platform is on the edge
OF grove OF large oaks and looks east

es scope OF marsh land which is level
as floor. Beyond this plateau is a hill
which rises TO an elevation Of perhaps
100 feet. Between hill and grove there
is not a single obstruction to the view.

ment who have attended shoots all

of its achievements. 1t is pronounced

ones and il fooled a good many Of the

scatter at the will OF the trap puller.

Dickinson county, Iowa. in 1865, where
his parents were among the early set
tiers of a region then inhabited by
fierce savages. His father traded in
furs, besides working the farm. From
boyhood Gilbert was familiar with fire
arms, and at an early age showed sroat
proficiency with the shotgun. His
field shooting naturally led him into
trap work, whore il was found he also
excelled. Gilbert's connection with the
Dupont company came about in an UNI

to Z. S. Rice and party of friends,
who were shooting chickens around
Pelican Lake, Minnesota, the former
became impressed with his remarkable
skill and took him TO Baltimore last
