FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Sept. 6, 1896. 
Monroe Tournament. 
Monroe, La., Aug. 23.— The tournament of the Monroe Gun Club, 
Which was held on Aug. 19, 20, 21 and 23, was one of those Interesting 
and successful tournaments that is conducive of much beneflt to the 
sport of trap-shooting, it beine: strictly a gentlemen's shoot in the full 
sense of the term. Though one might say it was gotten up on the 
spur of the moment, as it was less than a month prior to the above 
dates that the club decided to hold a tournament, and its success 
speaks well for the hustling qualities of its officers and members. 
The workers at this tournament, and to whom much of the success of 
the shoot is due, are Dr. W. L Jones, president of the club; Harry 
W. Stevenson, its efficient young secretary; Dr. A. A. Forsythe, Dr. 
T. Y. Aby, Dr. L. C. George, W. C. Williams and J. W. Wright, These 
worked incessantly, and carefully looked after the wants and com- 
forts of the visiting shooters. Mr. John W. Hanna made an eflQcient, 
obliging and courteous cashier, always willing to answer questions, 
and one's money was ever forthcoming. 
The grounds were located on the outskirts of the city, though not 
a great way from the hotel, and were reached by 'bus, the moderate 
charge of 25 cents being made for the round trip, and there were al- 
ways ample conveyances for all. There were two sets of target traps 
(all bluerocks) and two sets of live-bird traps in position. One of the 
live-bird traps was the King automatic and the other some antique 
make, that were markers for their slowness. These, however, were 
little used, most of the live birds being shot from the King trap. The 
background was excellent, and no fault could be found on this score. 
Ample shelter had been provided for all, the shooters' score was 
decked over, and thus they were protected from the sun and weather. 
In the rear of the score were two large stands with plenty of benches, 
where one could lounge and talk when not shooting. Everything 
worked smoothly but the electric pulls, and they caused no little an- 
noyance and delay. The live birds were a fine lot of good flyers, 
though of coiu-se not as strong as those in the winter. 
In all there were about 11,000 targets thrown and 1.525 live birds 
trapped. 
The programme announced that there would be five moneys in all 
of the target events, and that the purse would be dividad on a basis 
of 30, 25, 20, 15 and 10 par cent., and in the live-bird events there would 
be ttiree moneys, divided 50, 30 and 20, The evening prior to the com- 
mencement of the tournament the shooters all met, and aftpr the 
writer had explained the Rose system, and demonstrated its simplic- 
ity and fairness.it was unanimously adopted. Thus Forest and Stream 
had again advanced the cause of honest shooting at the trap, The 
points at first agreed upon were 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2. This was after the 
first five events changed to 7, 5, 4, 3 and 2, and proved very satisfac- 
tory. In the live-bird events there were three moneys, and the points 
In these were 6, 4 and 2. All events, with the exception of three extra 
events on the first day, were shot under this system. So well satisfied 
was the club with the system that they intend to use it at all their fu- 
ture tournament8,whiie a number of those present whose slubs contem- 
plate holding tournaments said they would see that this system would 
be adopted. 
First Day. 
. The first day of the tournament was a decidedly pleasant one, a 
heavy shower on the previous day having laid the dust and cooled the 
atmosphere to a comfortable degree. In addition to this it was hazy 
in the morning, and a fine breeze was blowing which continued 
throughout the whole of the day. This, coming after three weeks of 
extremely sultry weather, had a buoyant effect on everybody. 
The attendance was not large, only 26 shooters participating, but 
most of them shot through the entire programme. Foote with his 
little 16-gauge Greener, carried off the honors of the day, making an 
average of 86.4 per cenc. Will Miller was right after him with 86 per 
cent. In addition to the regular programme events, a SO target 
sweep, with entrance and 3 moneys, was shot; the purse in this 
being divided under the old system of 50, 30 and 20 per cent. 
In this Will Miller took first on 46, Stevenson captured second on 43 
and Jackson third with 42. All without a tie. 
The rest is shown in the table below. The first ten events are the 
regular programme events at 20 targets each, and the last one is the 
BO-oird sweep.

Second Day. 
The weather to-day was again bright and clear, but the fine breeze 
of the previous day had abated. Old Sol therefore had things his own 
way and proceeded to make everyone uncomfortable. Altogether it 
was an extremely sultry day. 
Twenty-eight shooters were present, and at the close of the day 
Jackson led with an average of 88 per cent., while Stevenson was 
second with 86 5 per cent. The following also shot In one or two 
events, though their names do not appear in the table below: Callen- 
der, Kennedy and J. A. Williams shot in two events, and Cooper in 
one, neither of whom made an average of 60 per cent. 
There was also a 10 live-bird sweep shot after the target programme 
was finished. The scores of this are also given below:

scratched down with the second at long range, close to the boundary. 
His 25th was a hot one, and carried both loads out of bounds. 
Three men scored 22 and divided third. Miller drew his share of 
fast birds and was also handicapped by shooting all kinds of loads; he 
lost two birds dead out of bouads. Jackson and Forsythe both shot a 
good race, the former lost a bird by a shell hanging in his gun. 
Sumpter and Ellis both looked sure of a place. Sumpter started off 
well, buthi8 9^h bird lingered about the trap, and just as he lowered 
his gun and was in the act of saying no bird it took wing, and being a 
very fast one the shooter never caught up with it. His 13th birdj a 
very strong one, fell dead out of bounds. Then he lost hla 17th, a 
rank easy towerer that appeared to stand still in the air; then his 
18th, though hard hit, went out of bounds. This virtually put him 
out of the race. Ellis shot alone; very well until about the finish; his 
233, an easy one, put him out of the money. 
Walton entered oq the first; day, but that night he was taken sick 
and was unable to fluish his score, though he had a chance to make 
23. Foote withdrew when he saw that he was out of the money, as 
did Oallender and Dinkins. The others finished their scores. 
The scores in the handicap are given in detail, while those made in 
the svvepps have been tabulated. The first four were shot before the 
handicap and the last three after it was finished.

Live-Bird Days. 
The third and fourth days of the tournament were devoted to live- 
pigeon shooting exclusively. On Friday there were four 10-bird sweeps 
shot, with an entrance fee of $7.50, and three moneys. Later on in the 
day a 25 live-bird handicap wag started, which, however, was not fin- 
ished until some time the second day, after which three more 10-bird 
sweeps were shot. This event had 14 entries at $15, and birds extra, 
three moneys. Faurote captured first money, scoring 24; he shot a 
good, steady race and won strictly on his merits. Stevens and Ken- 
nedy tied for second on 23. Nearly all of Kennedy's birds were easy 
ones, with the exception of the last one, and this easily beat him out; 
his other lost bird fell dead out of bounds. .Stevenson started off 
rather poor; he lost his first one and then ran 23 straight, having 
drawn a rather uniform lot of easy ones. Hia 24th caused him some 
trouble; It proved to be quite fast and escaped the first load, but was

The Mississippi delegation consisted of H, L. Foote and J. L. Wal- 
ton, Rolling Forks; Will Miller and R. L. Pinkston, Vicksburg; H. L. 
Baker and Frank Arrighi, Natchez, and H. L. Dinkins, Auguilla. 
Texas had Wallace Miller and J. A Jackson, Austin; J. M. George, 
San Antonio; John Ellis, Galveston, and F. M. Faurote, of Dallas, 
present. 
Prom Arkansas came J. E. Wells, J. T. Lloyd and M. M. Boyett, 
Pine Bluff, and John J. Sumpter, Jr., Hot Springs. 
Then there was Tom Callender, of Nashville, Tenn., representing the 
W. A. powder; J. Hildreth, Jr., New Haven, Conn., representing the 
Winchester Arms Co.; J. A. Williams, Bonita, La., and J. L. Daniels, 
of Mer Rouge, La. 
The Shreveport delegation was out of sight. 
H. L. Foote made the best average in all target events, 86.4 per 
cent.; he also made longest straight run on live birds; 30 was the ex- 
tent of it. Will Miller and Jackson tied for second average with 85.7 
per cent. 
Wallace Miller amazed the ladies as well as the natives by the dex- 
trous meinner in which he handled his Winchester; 2, 3, 4 and 5 tar- 
gets tossed in the air at once were all snuffed out. The rapid manner 
in which he manipulated this gun was a revelation to the shooters in 
this section. 
On the first day there were only two straight scores made in the 
target events. Will MUler and Faurote each got one. The second day 
there were six. Wallace Miller, Joe George, Jackson and Will Miller 
each got one, while Stevenson made two. 
F. M. Faurote is a 20-bore crank, he lost but 10 pigeons out of 115 
shot; he is one of the latest converts to W. A. powder. 
The Rose system left no chance to drop for place. However, in the 
first live-bird sweep, after there had been four straights made, and 
only one 9, a shooter after running 9 straight turned around and in- 
quired if this event was also shot under the Rose system; being assured 
that it was, he killed his last bird. Of course if the old system had 
been used he would have killed the bird just the same. He was only 
asking for information, not for a place. 
Wallace Miller a^d Sumpter both sported their Chicago costume in 
addition to their Du Pont sweater; they both wore bloomers. 
Tom Callender is rapidly developing into a fine pigeon shot; he 
scored 45 0"t of 50 in the sweeps, but fell out rather early in the 
handicap. His fine second barrel kills elicited rounds of applause. 
Joe George was hardly up to his form, but this was not worrying 
Joe much. He was telling the boys about the Midwinter, when, as 
usual, he promised to show them a thing or two. 
The marked improvement of J. Hildreth, Jr., the popular represent- 
ative of the Winchester Arms Co., was the subject of much comment. 
He made no straights, but scored three 18s and a 19 during the tourna- 
ment. 
Dr. George showed his big brother a thing or two about shooting 
pigeons. Twenty-seven out of thirty was a trifle too fast for Joe. 
F. M. Faurote says that there will be a big tournament at Dallas, 
Tex., some time during October or November, with at least $1,000 
added money, open to all; but those who go up against this game will 
also have to accept the Rose system. Paul R. Litzkb. 
Calumet Heights Gun Club. 
Chicago, 111., Aug. 23.— The trophy shoot of the Calumet Heights 
Gun Club was held to-day, the conditions being 25 targets, unknown 
angles. Lamphere won the Class A medal, Me'tealf the Class B medal, 
and Black the medal for Class C. A high northwest wind was blow- 
ing, making the shooting conditions hard. In therifle contest Spauld- 
Ing won in Class A, 200yd3. range, with score of 40. Miss Irwin won in 
Class B, 100yds. range, with score of 41. Scores in the trophy shoot

Sdgfar Murphy in Great Form. 
HoiiTiYWOOD, N. J., Aug. 26.— The match shot to-day on the grounds 
of the Hollywood Gun Club resulted in the display of splendid marks- 
manship on the part of both the principals Edgar Murphy shot in 
such magnificent form that it is a question whether anyone could have 
beaten him. His score of 18S out of 200 birds is something remark- 
able under any conditions as to rige, boundary, etc. When it is con- 
sidered that the conditions were 30yda. rise, 21yd8. (actually we believe 
only about 18yds.) boundary. Murphy's score is phenomenal. He 
killed 96 out of his first 100, and 92 out of his second 100; Morfey scored 
88 out of hia first 100 but tied Murphy's score for the second 100, viz.: 
92. 
Edgar Murphy was handled by his brother, Walter Gibbs Murphy, 
while Neaf Apgar and Jack Brewer looked after Morfey's wants. 
Bland Ballard, of Louisville, Ky,, was referee. There was quite a 
large attendance, among those present being many well-known shoot-
