Thursday, Third Day. 
The weather was hotter than ever, unusually hot for this region, 
but the enthusiasm of shooters and spectators continued unabated, 
although the entry fell from sixties to the forties. Sh joting con- 
tinued until far In the dusk at extras after the programme was fin- 
ished, the last contest of the sort, at 10 singles and 5 pairs, being 
watched to the close by an interested group of late stayers. In this 
the fclory was divided ry Heikes, Brewer and Col. Woodson of Little 
Rock. The latter brought out frequent applause by the ; ueeeoS o f his 
inimitably cool and easy style of shooting. The last gun for the big 
Memphis shoot was fired almost in the dark. The tournament ended 
with the best of good-nature all around. I never saw a shoot where 
there was more fun or where there seemed more good fellowship, and 
apparently more general satisfaction on both sides. It was remarked 
that Mr. Divine, who is very sick, would be glad to know of the suc- 
cess of the shoot in whose preliminaries he labored so faithfully. Mr. 
Bennett and Mr. F. P. Poston, who also did yeoman service in the 
hustling line, were mopping their foreheads this evening, but they 
seemed happy. 
To-day there were on the grounds many new faces, although many 
had departed for their homes. No doubt over 100 shooters partici- 
pated in all. Mr. E. L. Gilmer, all the way from Greensboro, N. C, 
was on hand to-day. Mr. Tolive of Orlando, Fia., was here yesterday. 
Messrs. Piety and Eberhardt, who came in for two days' shooting, are 
respectively of Topeka and Atchison, Kas. Missouri, Arkansas, Ten- 
nessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, 
the District of Columbia, Illinois, New York, even far away New Jer- 
sey were all represented here. Memphis certainly seems a good place 
to hold a shoot. And now comes Roger Van Gilder of Knoxville and 
says that next May his town hopes to offer $3,000 in cash to the shoot- 
ers. Of this the club will put up $1,500. One hundred shooters will 
put up $10 each (thirty-eight shooters have already agreed to this and 
the rest is easy) and it is hoped the manufacturers will add $500. 
Verily these be great days, and the trap-shooter waxeth fat. Old Ten- 
Df8see so far leads the list for accomplishment this year and promise 
for the next. 
Averages and Runs. 
Yesterday's daily average was won by McMurchy. Daily average 
for to-day was won by Charlie Young of Columbus, O., he scoring the 
highest tournament run,^97 out of 100. The next highest run was 
made by McMurchy, 96 out of 100. McMurchy had a fine start to win 
the first average for the tournament, but went off, and this was won by 
Alkire of Ohio. Second tournament average was won by McMurchy. 
Heikes, who was not at his best earlier in the shoot, pulled up to-day 
enough to win third tournament average. "I've got a roll to-night, 1 ' 
said Rolla, with a pleasant Dayton, Ohio, smile. 
The Shooting. 
A very pleasant feature of the day was the team race. 6-men teams, 
$5 entrance, 25 targets, between teams from Arkansas, Tennessee and 
Mississippi. This was not in the programme, but afforded variety and 
was watched with interest, showing the difference between a sweep- 
stakes for a purse only and a match with additional competitive fea- 
tures to it. 
The special shoot set as Event No. 9 for Tuesday was not concluded 
until to-day. It was at 20 targets, with special prizes as follows: First 
prize, one $80 Lefever hammerless gun; second prize, 500 nitro powder 
loaded shells; third prize, one leather gun case; fourth prize, one 
leather shell case. In this Mississippi won all the glory. Messrs. Por- 
ter and Foote carried back the Lefever gun to Mississippi with them 
without shooting out their tie. Messrs. Dinkins and Walton, both of 
Mississippi, took the 500 shells. Mr. Sumpter, of Hot Springs, won in 
the tie for the gun case, and Mr. C. C. Holt, of Macon, Ga., won the 
shell case in the shoot-off. This event was shot at known traps and 
angles, and there were 34 entries. The other scores of the day fol- 
low:

True, Partially True, and Possibly True. 
F. P. Poston, Actinq President— The club made about $150 clear on 
the shoot. We took in $743 in target money, sold the restaurant 
privilege for $205, took in $160 gate money, and cleared $78 on the 
special prize shoot, in which we did not give a purse of the entrance 
moneys, but offered the gun, etc. We did not beg a dollar, and did not 
solicit one article of merchandise to offer as a prize. 
The Merchandise Prize.— 1 was the only fellow that wasn't in it. I 
think I will go back to the Ark. I used to be in it, in the days of the 
Ark. 
The Citizen.— Allow me to express my thanks for one shoot at last 
which I was not asked to support. 
The South.— There has been a mistaken notion extant that it was 
only the North that could hustle. Don't you believe that any more, 
my children. 
'.%The Daily Press. — We know how to report a shoot down here, and 
to give it the sort of mention which will help make it a success. 
The Management.— There will be one Chicago shooter less at our 
next tournament. We will not tolerate unreasonable kicking on these 
grounds. We will not permit figuring for place and we will put off 
the grounds any man practicing such dishonesty as soon as we detect 
it. We do not mean this as the same old bluff. We aim to give a 
square shoot and we will do it. 
[This is not the old bluff. The reform of the old crookedness in 
trap shooting will begin in the South. It will only need an example or 
two to stop pooling and dropping. The Memphis men have the sand 
to make the examples. Their Dext tournament may have special 
interest in this regard.— E. H.] 
Tlie City of Memphis— 1 am the biggest little city on earth. I have 
75,000 whites, besides 40.000 blacks that don't count. I am the largest 
inland cotton market, the third boot and shoe market, the fourth 
grocery market, and the first square tournament market in America. 
The Amateur.— It looks as though I might have a chance for my 
life here. This is strange if true. 
Irby Bennett— 1 have discovered that running a shoot is hard on 
the lungs, the legs and the voice. But did you see the Winchester re- 
peaters come to the front in this shoot. Now watch my style as I 
break a few straights. I shoot one myself. 
H. McMurchy.— I now have my name blown in the top shot wad of 
my shells. I couldn't shoot a plain wad any more. I think this is the 
secret of my unvarying regularity. I never miss a bird except when I 
feel as if I ought to. 
Capt. DuBray— \ have rheumatism in both wrists, but joy in my 
heart, because the new Whitworth barrel Parker is just coming out. 
The Climate.— I wasn't as hot as New York. This is the healthiest 
place in the U. S. All I wanted was just to assure a red hot shoot 
even if the shooters had to appear in pajamas. 
Paul North.— I think all of us manufacturers' agents, who have all 
or part of our expenses paid, ought to be handicapped in some way 
more nparly fair to the shooter who puts up his own money. 
Twenty-Five Other Known or Secret Agents.— Really, Mr. North, 
you shock us ! 
The Niiro Load.— I am growing bigger every year. Once I was 
43grs., now I am 45, 46, even 48 or 50grs, I was used by all but three 
shooters at this shoot. 
Col. P. H. Bryson.—l attended the first field trial ever held in Amer- 
ica. We had it at Memphis, and ran it in conjunction with a big wild 
live bird tournament. Capt. Bogardus shot in the tournament. We 
took him out quail shooting after the event, and many of our quail 
shooters could beat him. There have been many changes in field trials 
and tournaments since then. 
Mr. Pinkston, of Mississippi. — The idea has gone forth that New 
England is not so woolly as Mississippi, but the fact is Mississippi is 
the most Puritanic State in the Union. Our Legislature passed a law 
making trap-shooting a gambling game. It killed the sport in the 
State. We are plenty good. 
The Mosquito Bar.— The more you see of me, the better you will 
like me. 
Intelligent Observer.— I note that the maccaroon, the octoroon and 
other things grow in great abundance in Memphis. I observe also 
that the streets are lined on one side with magnolia trees, and on the 
other with julep trees. The julep tree is not indigenous to the North. 
Unknown Lady on the Orand Stand. — Who is that tall, handsome 
gentleman coming this way f 
McMurchy, Bennett and Seventy Other Shooters Who Will Bead 
This. — Must have meant me 1 Well, I don't deny it, I was a regular 
Memphistopheles. 
The City Water Works.— Gentlemen, you embarrass me (finan- 
cially). 
C. A. Young, of Ohio.— Captain Brewer has challenged me to shoot 
him a race at 200 targets. I told him I would shoot him a race at 300, 
but that he would have to get down to my weight. He weighs 2831bs. 
and I weigh 941bs. 
Popular Consent .—Col. Woodson, of Little Rock, was the coolest 
and prettiest shot at the score. John Dickinson, of Little Rock, is the 
quickest shot in America. 
J. A. B. Elliott.— 1 have got into my present fine form by a system 
of my own invention. It consists of eating a watermelon or two just 
before going to bed each night. 
Dan Searles, of Vicksburg.—ll you will just wait for a few moments 
I will sing you a few stanzas from thac touching song known as 
'■Daisy Bell." 
Capt. Andy Meaders.— I am over 100 years old in general belief, but 
I decline the title of has-been. I am still with you, as you may 
observe by consulting the score sheets. 
W. B. Hobart.— While I am still willing to admit that the Lake 
Michigan lobsters are the finest on earth, I must give the palm for 
general loveliness to the Tennessee yellow-leg chicken. 
Tlie Visiting Shooters. — The Memphis shoot was a cracker-jack. 
It was the best shoot of the year. We can't do this in the North. 
There's something to it besides the money up, and we don't just 
exactly understand how, what or where it is. We will come here 
again the first chance we get. E. Hotjoh.
