"The Kansas City Star" (Missouri) Saturday, November 8, 1890 THE CONTEST WITH GUNS. The Shooting Festival in Kansas City Next Week All the preparations are complete for the reception and entertainment of the Chicago sportsmen who will be here next week to try to redeem their laurels lost to Kansas City at Chicago several months ago. The Chicago visitors will arrive Monday morning and shooting will begin at Elliott's park Monday afternoon. There will be 6,000 or 7,000 pigeons killed in Kansas City next week, for besides the shoot between the teams of ten of Chicago and Kansas City, there will be a shoot between two other teams of ten from Chicago and Kansas City, Elliott's annual shooting tournament, Elliott's and Organ's shoot for the American field cup, and numerous other special shoots which will be arranged between the crack marksmen who will be in attendance. The shoot between the second teams of Chicago and Kansas City will begin as soon as the first match is finished. It is expected that the regular team shoot will be finished by Wednesday noon. Thursday evening the Chicago visitors will be banqueted at the Midland. In the team shoot, beginning with a Chicago man, the members of the two teams will alternate, each shooting at twenty-five birds, and then after having shot through the list will begin over again and shoot their second twenty-five. The two teams shoots alone will require 2,000 birds, and J.A.R. Elliott has for the past week been receiving large shipments of birds from Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska.
