MEMPHIS BIG SHOOT. 
Elasticity of the Porter. 
Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 8.— When, in the course of human events, I 
boarded the Illinois Central train at Chicago, bound for Memphis, I 
was met at the door of the railway car by a personage whose dignity 
rather overpowered one. This was the Pullman porter, noted— in the 
North — for his haughty dignity and imperious manners. In a supe- 
rior way this individual permitted me to enter the car owned by him- 
self, and to care for my wants as well as I could. This was 1 :35 in the 
afternoon. During the rest of the day I managed to get along by 
being careful not to offend the porter. At sundown I noticed a slight 
relaxation on the part of the porter, He spoke to one or two passen- 
gers and inquired how they were getting along. At midnight when I 
went to bed the porter was undergoing a gradual but unmistakable 
change. He was becoming actually affable I At breakfast in the 
morning the improvement was still more marked. The porter waB 
becoming attentive. At early lunch he was a different being. He was 
jealous of dust on my luggage. He fanned away the flies from the 
table. He smiled and jumped if I opened my mouth to speak. He 
was a changed and much improved porter, and I liked him better, and 
told him so before I realized the cause of the improvement. At first I 
did not remember that I was now south of the invisible line named 
after Messrs. Mason and Dixon. I am disposed to think that a porter 
who travels east and west has no great amount of variableness, but 
the porter who travels up and down on a parallel of longitude is a 
most mobile and elastic being, and one that will do sufficiently well for 
a north and south geography. 
Multiplicity of the Spring Chicken. 
If one were unable by consulting his porter to know that he was 
south of the invisible, faint and faded division line above noted, he 
might easily be able to discern the fact by examining the legs of the 
spring chickens. In the South there are more spring chickens than in 
the North, and they are fatter, and their legs are yellower. I do not 
know whether or not this fact in natural history has ever before been 
noticed. It is very interesting. You can nearly always find interest- 
ing things in Forest and Stream. 
Authenticity of this Story. 
Underlying the two discoveries above noted is the first annual tour- 
nament of the Memphis Gun Club, which wasn't too far away for 
Forest and Stream to send a man to. Forest and Stream was the 
only weekly paper having a staff representative on the grounds. The 
rest can't afford it. Forest and Stream has a bar'l. It buys and gets 
and pays for more trap news and other news than all the other sport- 
ing papers in America. So far as real silk-fringed newspaper work is 
concerned, therefore, this may be considered the only authentic story 
of the big shoot. The newsdealers in Memphis tell me that they sell 
two copies of Forest and Stream to one o£ any other sporting paper. 
This is the reason of those. Forest and Stream has the most authen- 
tic reports. This one would be even more authentic if the weather 
were not so warm, but it is pretty authentic. The other papers will 
have to keep on in their policy of living on what the neighbors bring 
in to them— although one must admit that the Memphis craft are the 
best and most obliging of neighbors, whether you go to Memphis or 
stay at home. 
Eccentricity of the Record. 
It is to the unvarying courtesy and energy and ability of the Ten- 
nessee guild of sportsmanship that so great and successful a tourna- 
ment as this one now closing could be given — one of the best and un- 
mistakable successes of the year. What are our Northern friends 
doing in the way of accomplishment this Beason? They have allowed 
the South to easily eclipse them. With two such big events— both 
fairly to be called national shoots— as the Knoxviile and Memphis 
tournaments held so close together in the same season, the State of 
Tennessee may undoubtedly claim the banner for^the best State 
record. This may seem an eccentric sort of record for a State 
which hasn't seemed to try very hard about it, but it comes mighty 
near being the fact. That this should prove so for a point apparently 
so far away from the great bulk of the trap shooters, so late in the 
trap season, and so deep in the middle of the hot summer season of 
the South, is all the more strange. The fact remains, however, 
that Memphis has duplicated Knoxviile at her first attempt. I ques- 
tion if ever an old club ever gave so successful and smooth a tourna- 
ment for a first effort. I question if ever there was chronicled in 
these columns the story of a more pleasant, a more useful or more 
entertaining shoot. Somehow, the atmosphere was different. Per- 
haps you have to go South to find a social system whose courtesy 
doesn't need oil on the hinges. Anyhow, it was a very pleasant and 
agreeable time the trap friends had here. Of course, the rounders 
were here— as hot a crowd of shooters as ever got together— but the 
unusual feature was seen of many merchants and professional men 
shooting in the ranks for sport; an especially large number of elderly 
or old men being thus noteworthy. I never saw so many old men at 
a shoot, and never saw so many old men enjoy themselves so much, 
or shoot so well. 
Still another thing was the remarkable numbers of spectators. 
Some of the best people of Memphis, ladies and gentlemen, were on 
hand as visitors and remained faithfully watching the regular grind- 
ing of the target mill all through the tournament. To these the visit- 
ing shooters paid altogether too little attention. Perhaps they did 
not know the value of this rare tribute. A trap tournament in the 
North rarely has so distinguished an attendance. To the "gang" 
this mattered little, perhaps. Anyhow, they went on sawing wood 
in their endless attempt to break all the targets on earth and to earn 
enough to keep the wolf from the door. The management, in the 
laudable attempt to give the spectators something to interest them, 
got Capt. J. L. Brewer to give a little exhibition of fancy shooting at 
the close of each day's shoot, which was very nicely received. To 
me the main points of interest of this tournament were the old men 
shootinz fur sport and the spectators who were watching the sport. 
There is a little lesson in it. The South, which is the natural home 
of sport, has not yet learned much of the modern systematic tourna- 
ment. The South will be the next field of growth for this sport, or 
will neglect it altogether, which is not likely. There is a little moral 
in it also. The sentiment of the South, which brings out the best 
people to see a tournament, is worthy of encouragement and care., 
If there v^ere in the North more visitors, more little refinements 
more care and courtesies to the visitors, and less of a mad rush to 
get into the middle of a target-grinding machine at the tourna- 
ments, it would certainly be all the better for the tone of the sport, 
and I believe for the sport itself. On account of this approximate 
freedom from the usual teurnament dryness and mercenariness I 
like this Memphis shoot. It leaves a good taste in the mouth. You 
wouldn't mind going again to a shoot like that. 
Audacity of the Undertaking. 
Let the members of the Memphis Gun Club therefore be heartily 
congratulated on the success, and the double success of their first 
annual undertaking. We can hope that all their future shoots will be 
pleasant, and may they also be fully satisfactory in a financial way. 
It certainly required financial nerve to announce at this time and in 
thesetimes a shoot with $760 added money. Of course, this is what 
brought the shooters. In these days, the shooters couldn't make a 
living without added money to shoot for, because they— so many- 
shoot too nearly alike. In order to, add money, the club must throw 
all the targets possible. It must sell its restaurant privileges, charge 
gate money, do everything to take in funds, even to getting donations 
of cash from its citizens. The average rounder cares nothing where 
the added money comes from. He does not thank the citizens. In this 
way the highly-systematized, unnatural and purely artificial sport of 
trap-shooting is kept up. This year has been the best ever known for 
the shooter. Perhaps eventually the sport will have to be reorgan- 
ized, and the shooter be put on a more manly footing than that of 
taking the unknown citizen's money, and then never saying good 
morning to him when he comes on the grounds. We might just as 
well figure on these things while we are figuring on the longevity of a 
Bport where pooling and combining and dropping for place are openly 
practiced, and the square shooters thus eaten up by the crooked 
ones. 
But all this is neither here nor there, as applied to Memphis shoot, 
for which I have a distinctly kind spot in memory. It was a double 
success and worthy of sincere study by any club intending to give an 
open tournament. 
Mendacity of the Register. 
The register of the Peabody Hotel on the first day showed the fol- 
lowing nameB of shooters from all parts of the South and North. But 
this wasn't half of them: J. A, R. Elliott, of Kansas City; C A Young 
of Springfield, O.; F. D. Alkire, Woodlyn, O.; James L. Ward, Colum- 
bus, O.; J. M. Gurton, King's Mills, O.; J. J. Sumpter, Jr., HotSpring3, 
Ark.; J. M. Pemberton, J. K. Thiebault, J.F.Fletcher and D T 
Alexander, all of Little Rock, Ark, ; Paul North, Cleveland, O.; F. A. 
Morris, John W. Conner andR. Van Gilder, of Knoxviile; Wm. Wagner 
Washington, D. C; John L. Brewer, New Jersey; Ferd V. Van Dyke,' 
New York; J. L. Baker and C. C. Holt, of Macon, Ga.; Pat Henry. D. 
M. Porterfleld, Dan Searles and A. A, Ehrman, of the Vicksburg Gun 
Club; John A. Ruble, Wm. H. Skinner, Chicago: W. B. Powell, Gunni- 
son, Miss.; C. H. Walton, Anguilla, Miss.; D. A. Bondswell and W. A 
Page, of Starhsville, Miss. Messrs. Jas. Irwin, J, M. Rose and John 
Dickinson, all of Little Rock, came in on a special from Little Rock, 
arriying Wednesday morning. Capt. A, W. Du Bray, of the Parker 
gun, also appeared that morning, with many others from widely 
separated sections, swelling the total into oue one of the largest and 
most enthusiastic shooting crowds seen for many a moon. 
Paucity of Bobbles. 
Mr. T. A. Divine, president of the Memphis Club, is at this writing 
unfortunately lying very ill of a fever, and Mr, W. P. Halliday, the 
club secretary, is out of town. This has thrown the responsible man- 
agement of the shoot largely into the hand of Mr. Irby Bennett, who 
may be said to have made the practical success of the shoot by his 
untiring hustling. No man ever worked harder than he has, or did it 
with half so much good nature. Mr. Bennett is Southern salesman for 
the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. In the work of systematizing 
the work and freeing the affair of all friction, the quiet and efficient 
aid of Mr. Roger Van Gilder, of Knoxviile, was invaluable, and there 
were many such lieutenants who had been under tournament fire 
before. The net result was a remarkably smooth shoot, one almost 
free of the usual "bobbles," and one for which the management de 
serves compliments of high order. The working of the traps was not 
of the best, but this was due mainly to carelessness of the darky 
trappers, who sometimes handled the targets pretty roughly. Both 
bluerock and empire targets were used. Two sets of traps, one for 
the experts and one for the amateurs, were kept busy, There were 
ample tents and plenty of good accommodations, even to a good 
restaurant. 
Electricity of the Street Cars. 
The grounds were arranged on the old Billings driving park, to 
which it was only a few minutes' trolley run from the Peabody, a very 
comfortable and easy way of getting in and out by lightning. At the 
park, which is now no longer used for its original purposes, there is a 
spacious and cool grand stand, to say nothing of the special stands 
erected near the score. This made a cool lounging place, and some- 
times a shooter who was tired and warm would sneak over there and 
take a nap in the shade. The restaurant was located beneath the 
grand staud. One could take a nip down below and a nap up above 
if he liked, and it is difficult to see how any other tournament is going 
to beat this feature. 
Duplicity of Any Violator. 
Following I offer -the rules and regulations which the club printed in 
their programme, certainly a very gentlemanly invitation to join in a 
gentleman's shoot: 
"It is the desire and wish of the members of the Memphis Gun Club, 
that all shooters have as near an equal ard fair a chance in this 
tournament as it is possible to give. We know that it is very difficult 
to class all shooters as they should be, and we must insist that in the 
opening event of the first day every shooter who knows that he can 
shoot an 85 per cent, gait, will enter as an expert and stay in that 
class during the entire tournament, and in this way demonstrate to 
the amateur that the experts are not here to rob him. Again, we beg 
that our brother shooters will not pool and drop for place. The §760 
in cash that the Memphis Gun Club adds to the purses is for the pur- 
pose of drawing together a large number of the very best shooters of 
the United States, and we ask the hearty support of all visitors in 
making this a high-toned gentlemen's tournament. 
"We will have but two classes: 1st class shall be known as experts; 
2nd class shall be known as amateurs, experts will shoot from 
known traps, unknown angles. Amateurs will shoot known trap, 
known angle. 
"All known 85 per cent men will have to shoot as experts during 
the tournament. Amateurs who win a place for first or second 
money, or score 18 out of a possible 20, shall shoot as an expert until 
he fails to win a place for first or second money, or score 18, then he 
can return to the amateur class and remain until he wins again, as 
above stated." 
It must have been a person very far below the rank of a high-toned 
gentleman who would fail to heed a request like the above, and who 
would drop for place in a shoot like this. The shoot was designed to 
be one for the amateur as well as the expert, though the system of 
handicaps employed cannot be held conclusive, any more than any 
system yet discovered. The result was certainly a shoot less wholly 
professional than any of the big shoots of recent dates. The shooting 
was hard enough for any, the traps being well set up, and the targets 
thrown low and fast. 
Catholicity of the Suppport. 
The tournament was heartily taken up by Memphis, in spite of the 
heat, a number of the leading men of the town, who love anything 
pertaining to a gun, were daily on hand to see the shooting. Dr. 
Taylor, Dr. Cooper, and Mr. Mosher came all the way over from Browns- 
ville just to look on, and to get information for their own new club. 
Mr. A. Wheatley, long time president of the Beaver Dam ducking club 
and his friend Mr. Austin were interested observers, Col. P. H. 
Bryson, owner of the great old dog Gladstone, worth to his owners 
over $20,000 in all, and over 815,000 in 6 years, came out to see if 
the young men to-day shot as he did when he was a younger man. 
Col. Bryson, with the universal Southern instinct, hunted up the 
Forest and Stream man and bore him off bodily to his own home. 
Col. Bryson knows a good thing when he sees it, I notice. 
Tuesday, First Day, Aug. 7. 
The weather was hot and humid, and shooting was serious business, 
even in the lightest possible attire. The tents and awnings were 
naturally intensifiers of the heat, but under the wooden canopies 
which protected the raised seats provided for spectators it was cool 
and comfortable. A remarkably large number of visitors assembled 
to witness the sport, which in such magnitude is new in this city. 
Many ladies were present. All seemed to find a certain interest in the 
rather monotonous spectacle of a modern target tournament. Capt. 
Brewer's exhibition of difficult shots with the Winchester repeating 
shotgun, which was offered at the conclusion of the day's shooting, 
was well given and well received, evoking much applause. The entries 
in squads had been largely prepared the night previous, each shooter 
paying in his entry for the entire day, $24, and having assigned to him 
a certain squad position. Under this system shooting progressed 
steadily and in good order all day long. A famous squad was the 
"Ohio squad." Heikes, North, Young, Alkire and Ward, all being of 
Ohio. '•Shorty" Bacon, also of Ohio, was intended to fill out this squad, 
but failing to get in on time, McMurcby took the last place on the 
squad. The Arkansas contingent followed a similar plan and made a 
formidable team. The day's entry was in the neighborhood of sixty, 
and therefore all shooters knew that the success of the tournament 
was secure, and that it was to be one of the large affairs of the season, 
quite worthy, with Knoxviile shoot, to challenge the record of any 
State for the current year in the sport. As mentioned above, the 
shooting was under the class division principle, the amateurs shoot- 
ing known traps and angles, the experts known traps, unknown 
angles. Nothing could be more regular than the programme. Each 
event was at 20 targets, S3 entry, $25 added by the Memphis Gun Club
