Friday, Fourth Day, Aug. 17. 
The attendance was of course lighter on the last day, but the 
weather was glorious, There is no better location for a summer shoot 
than this island. The shooters lingered late at the scores, and the last 
of Jack's live birds were shot out. In all about 1,600 live birds were 
shot, and about 17,000 targets. Reflect on the benefit to the target and 
ammunition trade in this, and reflect also on the fact that the little 
one-horse club wagon every morning carried down to the grounds a 
load of guns and paraphernalia worth between $15,000 and $20,000, and 
one can gain a fair idea as to the reason for existence of the trap 
tournament of to-day, and as to its value for the future, and of the 
necessity of handling the questions involved in trap-shooting in such 
way that the sport will be preserved and increased and made perma- 
nent. 
This tournament, under Jack Parker's hands, could not fail of being 
admirably conducted, the management being as good as could be pro- 
cured at any cost in America. Certainly the shooters could charge no 
neglect, no discourtesy and no illiberality. The prizes were abundant 
and valuable, and diamonds were common at the setting of the sun. It 
was a good tournament, as good as any modern tournament, run on 
the modern ideas, could be. 
They Kindly Consented. 
By the kind consent of the two original kickers from Cleveland, the 
first event of the day was shot under the system which Jack had an- 
nounced would rule the tournament. This was a 10-bird event, but 
was shot at 18yds. rise instead of 21yds. McMurchy hammered out 10 
straight, at least showing what can be done at it by way of beating the 
hard game, provided one is willing to get out of the baby carriage of 
the old sure-thing game, and take the chances of his own actual skill. 
I can well remember the time when every one shot walk-around and 
known angles, and how the poor amateur got it then from the round- 
ers. This paper was the first and only one to protest against that. 
To-day the handicap of the expert is universal. I hope to see the day 
when dropping, pooling and combining is punished by disbarment 
from shooting circles. I believe I will pee that day. I hope to see the 
time when the great shooters who really make the success of a tour- 
nament—for the poor shooters never will make a tournament go — will 
be classified and set distinctly apart from the men who want to shoot 
for a little sport. I believe I will see that time. 
Mr. Merrill's Trousers Win Again. 
At the beginning of this week it was not generally understood that 
the tournament was to be held for the benefit of any one man, but to- 
day it became evident that it was really a very one-sided affair. There 
was only one man in it, which the same was the youth from Milvowka, 
who speaks knowingly of golf and polo, and wears his cuffs around 
his neck. Dick Merrill won the international live bird championship, 
for the U. S. and Canada, and ordinarily speaking that ought to 
satisfy the most rapacious shooter. Yet to-day he calmly stepped 
into the international target championship contest, for U. S. and 
Canada, and he didn't do a thing, to use the prevalent idiom, but 
break 48 out of 50, and carry off that medal, too ! What do you think 
of that? Evidently this was Dick's tournament. From close associ- 
ation with this youth - an association which, on account of his early 
rising and exuberant wildfowl imitations I fain would have broken off — 
I can inform the public of the system by which Mr. Merrill fits himself 
for a contest. Before going to his room he drinks a large glass of 
ginger ale, and upon retiring he carefully folds his trousers and puts 
them under the mattress. In this way the inimitable creases are pre- 
served intact, and appear on the following morning radiant, resplend- 
ent and apparently indestructible in their glory. All sorts of odd 
systems are employed by shooters, but this of Mr. Merrill's is the only 
one of the kind I have ever met, and but for my unwilling association 
with him might never had been made public. Anyhow, there wasn't 
a soul on the grounds who grudged Dick either of his medals. "There 
are twenty fellows right here on these grounds now who could beat 
me for either of the medals," said he. '"It's only luck." From this I 
am disposed to believe that Dick is a rare and desirable sort of -'cham- 
pion." 
This evening Charlie Willard of the Colt gun, Harry Marlin, Rollo 
Heikes and a lot more of the cracks left for the West, and next week 
the shoot at the "Soo" will probably see them and many others of the 
shooters who met here shaking hands again for another session at the 
game of traps. The scores of to-day:

Knoxville May Tournament. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
It is the desire of the Knoxville Gun Club to make its May, 1895, 
tournament excel any of the club's previous efforts. To accomplish 
this end the following scheme was thought of at the largely attended 
and exceedingly pleasant meeting of the Memphis Gun Club. 
The Knoxville Gun Club will add to the purses the sum of $1,500, 
provided 100 shooters of the country will subscribe $10 each, making 
$1,000 additionul money, or a total amount added money $2,500 to the 
purses. This being done, they call upon the dealers and manufac- 
turers of the country to add $500, making grand toial $3,00C added 
money to the purses. 
Permit no one to contest but those who have entered their names 
upon the subscription list of $10 and who have paid same— in other 
words for the privilege of shooting for $3,000 added money and 
purses of each event (100 men, $3) $300, a shooter only puts in the 
pot the small sum of $10. 
Now, boys, don't your mouths water? What say you? Shall we 
all pull together and have the biggest shoot ever held in this country? 
We can do it if yon only send in your names, the $10 to be paid on or 
before April 1, 1895. The club's reputation for honesty and fair deal- 
ing to one and all is guarantee that this is no fake, but a sober, real 
good, sound scheme, to have the best meeting ever held among all the 
shooters of the country. 
Now, what say you? Don't all tumble over one another in frantic 
efforts to get to the cashier's office. Any one who sends in his $10 
will be given a certificate entitling him (or if in his absence his desig- 
nated representative) to contest in the meeting. In the event he can- 
not come and has sent in his money it will not be refunded, because to 
make the shoot a go this amount if advertised must be put up, and it 
will be his pleasure to contribute to such a meeting even if it should 
be his misfortune to be absent and out of his $10. Remember only 
those who are on the list can or will be permitted to contest. At the 
Memphis meeting thirty-nine names were enrolled as follows: H. Mc- 
Murchy, F. V. Van Dyke, R. Heikes, Paul North, J. L. Ward, E. L. 
Gilmer, John Brewer, Wm. Wagner, Joe Hunter*, Jim Elliott, J. T. 
Anthony, J. W. Todd. J. F. Jordon*, Fonda*, John T. Sumpter, Jr., J. 
T. Lloyd, Ed. Rike*, F. D. Alkire, L R. Pinkston, J. A. Woodson, Wm, 
Rothwell*, F. O. Ethridge*, A. B. Troutman*, J. M. Girton, Shorty 
Bacon, F. Schuman, M. Holden, Dan Searles, H. L. Foote. C. A.Young, 
W. H. Skinner, A. W. DuBray, Andy Meaders, Thos. Callender, W. T. 
Allen, Thos. Irwin, Irby Bennett, W. B. Powell, Ralph Worthington, 
Those marked with an * were put on by request of friends present. 
This is a good starter, and I hope to see the 100 names entered at 
once. If you have a friend whom you desire to put down, kindly 
notify him. Let us all enter into the scheme and make this meeting 
the one grand finale— it it is so desired. Send in your names and 
money at as early date as possible. R. Van Gilder, Sec'y.

Inside Uncle Sam's Picket Line. 
Butte, Mont.— For some time past Butte has presented quite a mili- 
tary air, there, being no less than 1,500 of Uncle Sam's boys quartered 
with us, sent here no doubt to i.soothe the disturbed feelings of Mr. 
Debs's followers. But Butte's Teputation ;had evidently been be- 
smirched. The soldiers came into town shoving two box cars ahead 
of the train, and in these cars were the best shots of the regiment 
prepared for business. Very much to their surprise, there was no 
commotion at all on account of their arrival. They encamped on the 
grounds used by the gun club, and when the day for the weekly shoot 
came around a picket line was found around the traps. A few words 
of explanation to the head officer soon fixed things, and it was not 
long until officers and soldiers were interested spectators. There was 
some great shooting done, Mr. Jaeger especially covering himself 
with glory, breaking 66 without a miss. Rueger was a close Second, 
forcing Jaeger in one match to break 30 straight before winning the 
money. Below are the scores:
