Feb. 19, 1898
http://www.la84foundation.org/Sports.../SL3022020.pdf A. W. Du Bray, traveling representative of Parker Gun has been making his usual trip through the South. Writing from Lake Charles. La., he says: "I have just had two days of shooting here in company with my good friend. Mr. J. C. Elstner. of this place. On the first day we bagged 47 quail and snipe and on the second day 107, of which 18 were quail, the rest snipe. So many people are constantly in quest of in formation regarding good shooting territory that I think you would be doing your readers a favor by publishing this. Quail are very abundant here, and one can bag from 25 to 50 a day over a good dog. Snipe are nearly always found, but of course not with is much certainty. Another thing. This is one of the few places where -a man can get a good, comfortable room and wholesome, well-cooked food, and anyone coming here should by all means put up at the Hotel Howard, where he wall find the genial, good-natured proprietor in Mr. Pierre Theaux, a model host in every particular. I can cheerfully recommend this hotel, knowing I will receive the thanks of any one coming here. On the last day’s shooting I used very heavy full-choke Parker, 16 gauge, loaded with three drams Du Pont smokeless and one ounce No. 8 ½ chilled shot in 2 7/8 inch U. M. C. Smokeless shell. It was certainly a great load for wild birds. Ducks, geese, cranes and prairie chickens are found near here."

Fulford won the 1898 GAH (using a Remington hammerless)
http://www.la84foundation.org/Sports.../SL3102023.pdf Messrs. Parker Bros., the makers of the celebrated Parker gun, at the close of the Grand American Handicap presented the winner, Mr. E. D. Fulford. with a very handsome gold and enamel coat button, facsimile of which appears herewith. It was designed and made by Tiffany & Co., of New York. The ground is,of dark blue enamel, with lettering and bird in chased gold. The idea is novel and appropriate, and the button will no doubt be very highly valued by the recipient.
