The Memphis Third Annual. 
A GREAT CLUB'S GREAT SHOOT. 
In writing a description of any large sport, the main difficulty one 
has to combat is the general sameness that attends all such gather- 
ings. This difficulty in the present instance is luckily considerably 
lessened, since the Memphis Gun Club and its members know so well 
how to make things pleasant for its guests, and to impart a certain 
tinge of novelty to the otherwise monotonous bang bang of the rapid- 
fire system and the routine of an added money tournament. 
We have attended many tournaments, large and small, but at none 
have we experienced a greater sense of being "at home" than we did 
while attending the third annual tournament of the Memphis, Tenn., 
Gun Club on May 11-16 Tom Divine and Irby Bennett are as well 
known to readers of Forest and Stream (and not trap-shooting 
readers only) that it is practically superfluous to say anything in ad- 
dition to the mere statement that they were here, there and every- 
where during the entire six days of the shoot. Wherever there was 
any noise, any large crowd or any hearty laughter, it was longer odds 
than dollars to doughnuts that either General Bennett or Major 
Divine was right on deck. 
not the only ones. 
But Memphis does not possess merely these two. There are others. 
Messrs. W. F. Allen, Abe Frank, F. P. Poston, J. Duncan, J. C. Neely, 
Jr., and a host of others, all good fellows, all gentlemen and all mem- 
bers of the home club, who go to make a homogeneous whole that is 
hard to equal and that can scarcely be beaten. This was our first 
visit to Memphis, but we can now readily understand how and why 
the Western er d of Forest and Stream's editorial staff finds a sojourn 
within her limits so exceedingly pleasant . 
As mentioned in our dispatch from Memphis, dated May 11, which 
appeared in the Forest and Stream of May 16, the special car that 
left New York on Saturday afternoon, May 9, at 5 o'clock, arrived at 
Memphis at 7 A.M. on Monday morning, and the delegation on board 
that car received a warm welcome at the hands of the two Memphians 
first above mentioned. Two four- in hands were in waiting and the 21 
occupants of that car were driven in style to the various hotel* of the 
city. Tbis made a fitting clOBe to as pleasant a thirty -nine hours' jour- 
ney from New York city as one could possibly wish for. 
THE BELGIUM'S STRINGED ORCHESTRA, 
Leaving New York at 5 P. M., Eastern time, on Saturday, May 9, 
the special Pullman car "Belgium," save in the darkest hours of the 
two nights spent between New York and Memphis, was little else than 
a concert hall, with an appreciative audience. Leroy and the violin, 
Heikes and Trimble with their banjos, Gilbert's soprano, Dick Merrill's 
contralto, and any quantity of tenors and bassos formed an operatic 
troupe whose only weakness lay in its limited repertoire. U. M. C. 
Thomas is authority for the statement that no less than 365 verses of 
"There's Only One Girl" and 183 stanzas of "She May Have Seen 
Better Days" were sung during the trip. (We give TJ. M. C. as our 
authority with some trepidation, well knowing his usual custom of 
sleeping between every meal while on board a train.) 
Once south of Mason and Dixon's line, the audiences at every station 
grew larger and more enthusiastic in their applause. "Dixie," 
"Marching Through Georgia," "Yankee Doodle," "Couchee-Couchee," 
etc., took well and made one realize readily the magic power of the 
muse. Soberly speaking, the stringed orchestra was immense, each 
one of the three artists being of an extremely high class. 
Our route lay via the Shenandoah Valley, Norfolk & Western, from 
Roanoke to Bristol; thence by the Southern Railway to Chattanooga, 
and thence over the Memphis & Charleston R. R. to Memphis. Mr. J. 
E. Prindle, New York passenger agent of the Norfolk & Western R. R., 
Shenandoah Valley route, accompanied the car to Memphis, and aided 
by our chaperone, Tom Callender, made life on board the "Belgium" 
a thing of beauty. While speaking of this trip, special mention must 
be made (by request of several on board the car) of the really excel- 
lent dinner provided for the travelers at the Hotel Hamilton, the lead- 
ing hotel in the city of Bristol, Tenn.-Va.

TRADE REPRESENTATIVES 
Among the lists above given, of course, many present represented 
firms of manufacturers or dealers in sporting goods. The Winchester 
Repeating Arms Company were particularly strong with Rolla Heikes, 
Jim Elliott, Ferd Van Dyke, Captain Bartlett and Irby Bennett; the 
U. M. C. Company was represented by J. A. H. Dressel and U. M. C. 
Thomas; Du Pont representatives were Ralph Trimble, Dave Porter- 
field and Fred Gilbert, the two former also representing the Hazard 
Powder Company. King's Smokeless was present in the shape of its 
inventor— the only Milt F. Lindsley; A. W. du Bray and P. R. Dickey 
represented Barker Bros.' guns; Charlie Hebbard was present in the 
interest of, and to look after the running of, the empire traps and 
targets of the Empire Target Company ; E. D. Fulford came here to 
show what a capital combination Greener guns and U. M. O. factory- 
loaded ammunition make; Tom Callender, of course, represented 
Lafiin & Rand, but, to the regret of many of his friends, a cold con- 
tracted on the trip from New York caught his lungs and laid him up 
during the shoot. 
THE MEMPHIS MYSTKRY. 
Monday, May 11, was the practice day of the tournament— at least 
nominally. As a matter of fact it turned out to be an all-day affair, 
with Borne 61 shooters on the grounds. Quite a nice little shoot, 
wasn't it? 
There were four merchandise events on the programme, the en- 
trance fees in these events being regulated by the number of entries. 
As told in our special of the above date, which appeared in our issue 
of May 16, Charlie Budd and Fred Gilbert did some very flneshootiDg, 
Gilbert breaking 133 out of 135, and Budd 112 out of 115 shot at. The 
"Memphis Mystery," event No. 5, was a special feature, and several 
guesses were hazarded as to what this event would be. Some of the 
guesses proved to be extremely accurate. 
The conditions were 15 targets, unknown angles, $1.25 entrance, with 
the club's guarantee that each man who shot would receive a prize 
the value of his entrance fee. After the event closed Col. Frank S. 
Parmalee, of Omaha, Neb., by special request of the committee of 
management, distributed the prizes— a bottle of O. P. 8. to each man, 
a brand of medicine well and favorably known in this section. 
In addition to the above 5 events, two extras, 20 targets, $2 entrance, 
targets at 2 cents, were decided. Over 6,000 targets were thrown 
during the day. 
THE NEW GROUNDS. 
Since the tournament of last year the club has removed its belong- 
ings to new grounds, and is now located on the street car line to 
Raleigh, and about thirty minutes' ride from the city. Cars only run 
every half hour, so that it behooved every man to be on time or else 
enjoy a good wait, with only the muddy waters of the Mississippi to 
gaze on. The trip by electric car to and from the grounds is by no 
means an unpleasant feature while the weather is as warm as that 
which greeted us in Memphis . 
The quarters of the club are not spacious, being merely temporary, 
still there was room enough for all, except during the heavy rainstorm 
on Wednesday afternoon. Three sets of empire traps were used, 
Charlie Hebbard coming all the way from New York city to take 
charge of them. A wire pull was used at the No. 1 set, electric pulls 
being used for Nos. 2 and 3. Of course empire targets were thrown 
during the shoot. 
In the cashier's office were Cashier C. Bartlett Hills, who has acted 
in this capacity at every shoot the club has ever held, and his able 
assistant, J. L. Sellers. These important officials were located In a 
cage of galvanized wire netting on the western end of the porch that 
surrounds three sides of the club house. The shoot was managed by 
Elmer E. Shaner, so that nothing need be said about that portion of 
the work of the tournament. 
After the above brief introduction, it will be in order to review each 
day's work in detail. 
FIRST DAY, MAY 12. 
After the preliminary practice of yesterday, with over sixty 
shooters on the grounds, everybody looked for an entry list of 100 at 
least in event No. 1. When that event finally closed the cashier's 
books showed that there were just 101 entries, a big list indeed. 
The early morning hours were deliciously cool, owing to the heavy, 
but brief, downpour of the previous afternoon. But when the sun 
got away up in the heavens the heat was very severe, especially on 
those who came from the northern and northeastern portions of the 
United States. Even the breezes that swept loose pieces of paper into 
the air had nothing cool in them. We just sat still, perspired and 
generally enjoyed ourselves. There was no difficulty about the latter 
feat, thanks to the Memphis Gun Club and its members, all of whom 
saw to it that its guests did not lack in any particular. Of course, 
Tom Divine and Irby Bennett were the busiest men on the ground 
(not including Elmer Shaner), and how either of them managed to 
break over 80 per cent, is a myBtery to us just at present. Irby broke 
86 per cent, after shooting himself out of a place in No. 6. 
The shooting was not hard, the targets only going between 40 and 
45yds. so far as we could judge, but still there was something that 
spoiled straights just when they looked certainties. Not that there 
were not lots of straight scores, on the contrary there were any num- 
ber of them; six out of the sixty shooters in event No. 5 scoring 25 
straight. 
CHAN POWERS'S GOOD WORK. 
Chan Powers carried off the honors of the day, losing only 1 target 
out of his first 105, and only 5 out of 165 shot at. Charlie Budd kept 
up the good work by losing 8 out of the same number. Captain Bart- 
lett and Frank Parmalee were tied for third place with 11 lost birds. 
Critzer, of San Antonio, and his 16-gauge gun, did wonders to-day, 
making a run of over 65 straight, Rolla Heikes being credited with 
the same run. Gilbert, who tied with Budd in yesterday's practice 
events, did not keep quite up to the same notch, but still he landed 
with a percentage of 92.1 for 165 shot at. 
ENTRIES AVERAGED 71. 
The total number of entries in to-day's event was 568, making an 
average for the 8 programme events of just 71 entries; 101 in No. 1 
and 60 in No. 5 were high and low water mark respectively. Includ- 
ing an extra with 21 entries in it, just 12,080 targets were thrown dur- 
ing the day. In the extra, Wheeler and Gilbert made straight scores.

SECOND DAY, MAY 13. 
Rain and wind played quite a part in to-day's programme. During 
the night and early morning rain fell in the city in torrents, but 
strangely enough the storms missed the club's grounds, following the 
Mississippi and leaving everything around the club house and traps as 
dusty as ever. A strong wind, however, blew all day and cut the 
scores down quite materially, only nine men breaking better than 90 
per cent. , as against seventeen men yesterday. 
About 3:30 P. M. a dense black cloud gathered over Memphis and 
came up very fast, driven by a strong wind. This time it did not miss 
the shooting park, but for an hour or so came down In solid sheets, 
satisfactorily (to farmers at least) moistening the soil that had not 
felt a drop of rain for some three weeks. Just prior to the downpour, 
and while the last squad of event No. 7 and the first two squads of No. 
8 were shooting their strings, the wind was blowing a gale. It didn't 
do a thing to the targets, the empires dipping, scooting and towering 
in a most interesting fashion. 
Charlie Budd led to-day with a percentage of 93.9; Glover, Leroy 
and Rike being next to him and only one target behind his total. 
Grimm was fifth with 91.5, his 20 straight in No. 8 netting him over 850. 
The scores show that seventy shooters took part in to-day's events. 
The entries average just 59J4. There were 64 in No. 1, 54 in No. 2, 60 
in No. 3, 58 in No. 4, 59 in No. 5, 64 in No. 6, 59 in No. 7 and 56 in No. 8. 
The total number of targets thrown to-day was 9.775. 
The table below tells the rest of the story, the shooters again being 
placed in order of merit.

The following shot in only one event: Poph

THIRD DAY, MAY 14. 
This was just about a perfect day: clear sky, cool air and a gentle 
breeze, with no dust to fill one's eyes, nose or ears. Naturally some 
rattling good work was done by the shooters, 11 out of the 43 that 
shot through to-day's programme making better than 90 per cent. 
Dickey struck a hot gait and, but for losing 3 targets in the last event, 
would have come close to touching Chan Powers's great record of the 
first day. As it was he led the procession with a percentage of 94.5, 
Heikes being close after him with one break less to his credit. Rolla 
commenced the day with two straights, ending it with another of the 
same kind. Bartlett and Budd were tied for third and fourth places, 
Elliott, Parmalee and Powers being bunched together only a siDgle 
break behind. 
The scores show that 64 shooters took part in the 8 programme 
events. The entries averaged a fraction over 51, a good showing for 
the third day of a shoot. In addition to shooting out the programme 
(which was finished at 3:30 P. M,), three extras were shot, one at 20 
targets, $2 entrance, and two at 5 pairs, $1.50 entrance. In extra No 
1, 20 targets, 17 entries, Leroy. Van Dyke and Wheeler broke straight] 
Bartlett and Gilbert making 19 each. The first event at pairs, extra 
No. 2, was won by John Connor with 9, Glover and Milt Lindsley divid- 
ing second with 8 each. Extra No. 3, same as last event, was won by 
Wheeler with 9, McCormiek, Tway, Porterfield and Smith dividing 
second on 7 each. 
Including the extra events shot as above, our scores show that 9 060 
targets were thrown to-day, only 715 less than yesterday. Below, in 
order of merit, is a table of the
