The Second Midwinter. 
Sak Antonio, Tex., Jan. 81.— The first big target tournament of the 
season of 1897 closed yesterday after a week of the most villainous 
weather experienced in this part of Texas in years It has become a 
proverb here that it never rams except there is to be a shooting tour- 
nament,- a baseball game or horse racing;, or any other outdoor 
sport, v?bich is likely to bring to the city a number of visitors. The 
visitors who came here the past week evidently are not very much 
impressed with the cUmate. and are loath to believe that they ever 
have anything else at Santone but rain and mud in the winter time. 
Had these parties attended last year's tournament they would have 
formed a different opinion. 
That the success of the second midwinter did not exceed that of the 
flrst is no fault of the projectors, but is entirely due to the elements, 
and when these are taken- into consideration it is a wonder that it did 
not prove a failure. But it was very far from being such, 
the visitors outnumbering those of last year, and with favor- 
able weather it would have been a brilliant success Every- 
thing had been done, as the management supposed, to insure the 
comfort of the visitors, but the weather upset all calculations and 
was the cause of no little adverse and unjust criticism. Such a pro- 
tracted spell of bad weather occurs only occasionally, and we of the 
South are never prepared for it. Had the conditions been anything 
like those of last year the preparations would have been amply suffi- 
cient, and the skeptical few would not have had any cause for com- 
plaint. As it was, the management spared no pains to make it pleas- 
ant and agreeable for the visitors, and anything that would add to 
their comfort was provided. Great fires were built at the score to 
enable phoolers to keep warm, while a good flre was always kept 
roaring in the stove that furnished warmth for the shooters in the 
buildmg that was also the restaurant, where good meals were served 
to order at all times of the day. This building was not of the sub- 
stantial kind that they have in the North, so that during extreme 
cold spells it is dillficuk to keep it warm. 
THE GROUNDS 
The tournament was held at San Pedro Springs, a pleasure resort 
just within the city limit.s; the buildings are such as are generally 
found at such resorts in the South. The grounds are easy of acces.s, 
as electric cars run right to them. Here again a circumstance arose 
that was no fault of the njanagement and could in no way be over- 
come by them: The electric line that runs to the park has a double 
track all the way, but the city was improving the street that led to 
the grounds, and the car people were only permitted to use one track, 
as the other was torn up for the present, and the cars had to meet at 
a given point; this made them few aiid far between. No such com- 
plications existed when the management made arrangements for ilx€f 
use of the grounds, so it could not be censured for this. 
Two magautraps were in position, and these furnished ampleshoot- 
lug for all, as it is an easy matter to throw 10,000 tars-ets a day from 
two of these traps. There was also a set of five expert bluerock 
traps, which were only used in the Schmelzer trophy event. The 
building where the shooters congregated was situated some distance 
from the score, and this made the duties of the squad hustler a little 
more arduous. The screens were painted green, and artisticallv 
decorated with htmtlng scenes, whicti were much admired by the 
shooters : the dogs and birds that appeared on them were well exe- 
cuted. Fulford was very much taken with them, and requested per 
mission to take one of tbem back to Utica, a request that was readily 
granted; but Fulford left rather sudd nly the night the shoor closed 
and doubtless forgot his intentions. He at flrst informed me that he 
would attend the Hot Springs shoot, but changed his mind at the last 
minute. Tbe background was extremely difificiiit and deceptive 
Straight ahead was a heavy growth of low bushes about the usual 
height a target is thrown, while to the right was a long row of big 
trees that extended for quite a distance. Then again the traps faced 
southwest, and if the sun shone it was right in the sbo .tors' eyes 
from about 2 o'clock until it disappeared. As oreviousiy starferl, 
magautraps were used, and taking into consideratloa all the diffi- 
culties that had to be overcome, they worked very well, and thiew 
plenty of targets, many more than could have been thrown from any 
set of five traps. Paul North looked after them, of course. 
Unfortunately Albert Steves was sick, as were also several of his 
children, and for this reason he was unable to be at the shoot ali the 
time. Thus the management of the tournament devolved on Joe 
George and Oscar Guessaz, and it is needless to say thaf. they had 
their hands full, and were kept busy answering questions and seeing 
that every thing was kept moving smoothly They were ever on 
ha.nd, the first in the morning and the last to leave the grounds 
while at night they were at the hotels mingling with the shooters. ' 
Robert Tendick was squad hustler, and despite his 3801bs. of avoir- 
dupois performed his duty well, though along to^vard the close of 
the week he complained of his feeo being tired. Leo Ferlet filled the 
arduous position of cashier in a very acceptable manner; his experi- 
ence of the previous year stood him in good stead. His assistant, a 
gentleman whose name I have forgotten, was both capable and cour- 
teous; he, too, saw service a year ago. 
The daily papers published a very concise and authentic report of 
the tournament, something that is rarely the case with dailies Mr 
Hank Dyer, who did the work for the Express, is thoroughly familiar 
with the sport, being a shooter himself and a writer ot considerable 
ability.

GENERAL AVERAGES. 
There were no average prizes, but it might be of intprest to some to 
know in what order tbeir respective idols finished. Only tbose who 
shot through the entire programme are included in the list given 
below. This is an exceedingly small one -just 18 The Schmelzer 
trophy contest played havoc with the percentage of several 
though with none so much as with Bartlelt, who only scored 60 in 
this event. This brought his general average down to 81 .4, while had 
this event been omitted he would have an average of 84 1 Raluh 
Trimble did not shoot in this event, and, of course, his uame is not 
on the list; his general average though is about 90 for all events he 
participated in. The standing of th^^ 38 who shot through the pi-o-

First Day, Jan. 26. 
There wa« nothing gained by postponing the shoot, in so far as the 
weather conditions wer« concerned, only thai it made ail of the 
Shooters willing and anxious to sho,.t, re^rdiess 9f the fact that the 
ground was covered with ice and sleet, and quite a little of the latter 
fell during the eariy part of the day. The raw wind that blew from 
the north only added to the discomfort ot the shooter and made the 
shooting harder. Blowing directly from the score, it caused the tar- 
get to dip, and to this factor alone not a few of the ciphers are to be 
attributed. The cold, too, necessitated plenty oE warm clothing, and 
this naturally hampers the shooter. It was late before a start 
was made, and there not being any protection for the shooters at 
the score, the shoot; Oragged, for just as soon as the shooier finished 
his score he would make a run for the building: that stood in the rear 
some distance away to gel by the flre. This made it difficult to get 
the squads to the score in proper time, and the large number of 
entries also made it impo8.«ible to finish the day'.< programme. Only 
six events were shot out.. The other two were begun, but only about 
eight squads shot out 
When the eight f 0-1 arget events that cons' ituted tbe day's pro- 
gramme were finished Rolla Heikes showed up in front with an aver- 
age of 94 3, .just two birds ahead of Parmelee, whose average was 
93.1. Then came Tnmble with 5 birds less, havine just 90 per cent. 
Dicke.y and Bartlett were fourth, while Sfrgeant, Elliott and Fulford 
were tied for fifth po^sition. Winston was the fortunate shooter of 
the day, as it fell to his lot to make the only straight in event No- 3 
The table below shows the position each shooter finished in. and in 
addition to the names that appear in it Fletcher. Lee, Ed Steves, 
Krug, Kennard, Sedam and Lucas; shot in one event, making in all 
seventj'-seven shooters that p'jrticipared during the day. The largest 
number of en' rics in any event was seventy-four. The programme 
consisted of eight 20 bird events.

Second Day, Jan. 27. 
When day dawned the sky was overcast, but later on the sun came 
out and it remained clear the rest of the day. The wind still blew 
strongly from the north, and was cold and nenetrating. The ihiT- 
mometer was down to 17° above zero, while tinder foot it was damp 
and disagreeable from the sleet that fell the day previous. Under 
these circumstances It was a hard matter to get the shooters out 
early; therefore it was again impossible to finish tLe day's pro- 
gramme. The two unfinished events of the day previous were fl-st 
vShot out, and then the da3'-'s programme proper was begun. Thi.i 
consisted of five 20-target events with §50 added to each, and the 
Schmelzer trophy conte.st, a 100 target race at reverse order, entrance 
$10i The total purse, less tbe price of the targets, went lo the winner 
of the previous contest, J. W, Sexton, of Leavenworth, Kan. There 
being 27 entries, this netted him the neat sum of $189. The man- 
agement also added $75 in this event, which was divided 40. 30 20 
and 10 per cent, ; none of this went with the tropby, however 'in 
this event five expert traps were used -bluerocks, of course. These 
n ere set to throw a very hard , low bird, and with the ass'stance of the 
wind frequently flew 80yds. and over. To this more than anything 
else the low scores are to be attributed. 
In the first string of 25 Fulford and Young led with 28; when each 
had shot at 50 Fulford was still in the lead with 43 In the next string 
of io he again scored 31, and led Sergeant, his neax-est competitor, i y 
2 targets. Young and Van Dyke were next. 3 targets behind Ful- 
ford. At this stage of the game it looked a good deal like a cinch for 
Fulford. Heikes had only scored 5S out of his first. 75, and was gen- 
erally considered out of the race. 
It was nearly sundown when the first squad started to shoot their 
last string of 25, but even in tbis uncertain light Heikes fiounded our 
24, and went out with a total of S2. Sergeant only scored 17, and fin- 
ished with 79, as did Sexton, the former winner. It had now become 
too dark to go on with the contest. So some one suggested that ihd 
scores made by the squad just flnhbesl should be rubbed out and shot 
over again the next morning; naturally Heikes pro ested, and justly 
so Then an eff ort was made to have the next squad shoor, out their 
score, but Fulford had left the grounds, and operations were sus- 
pended until the next day. 
The first thing the nest morning the contest was resumed, and it 
was only necessary for Fulford to score 19 to win: but this he was 
nnable to do, as 37 was the best be could do, and this made his total 
81, Van Dyke and Young both scored 83 in their final string, and 
tied with Heikes for the cup on 8 i. Fulford and Eliioic divided first 
money on 81. The tie for the cup was not shot oft', but will be at 
some future tournament. Heikes, Young and Van Dyke each own a 
thu'd interest in it now. 
In the sweeps Heikes again made the best average, scoring 97 out 
of 300; Sergeant, Robinson and Fulford were next with 92. Then 
came Powers and Bartlett with 91. The others followed in the order 
shown in the table The first five rows of figures are the scores maae 
in the sweeps; while the four last ones are the scores made in each 
stnng of 25 in the trophy con :est, with tbe to'al scored last. In all 
seventy shooters took part in the events of to day.

Third Day, Jan. 28. 
Notwithstanding that it was cloudy, this really provfld to be the 
best dar of the week. Tbe wind had abated, and the cold had moder- 
ated considerably. This made everybody feel better, and more shoot- 
ing was done, though it was impossible to finish theprogramme which 
consisted of eight iO target events and the unflni.shed' events of the 
previ )us day. 
Parmelee was at the head of the list to-dav with an average of 93 7 
while Heikes had to be content with second place, with 92 5- then 
came Glover, Young and Merrill in the order named. The' entries 
held up very well, as sixty-nine shooters participated during the day 
The table below only shows sixty-flve names, but Gisa, McCormack! 
HiMreth and Kennard also took part, though only shootin^- in on<> 
event, or failing to make an average of 60 per cent. Fiftv" dollars 
was added in each event.

Fourth Day, Jan. 29. 
To-day the weather clerk dealt out som;^tbing different a^ain and 
this lime It came in the form of a snowstorm— something tliatot Iv 
occurs at long intervals i.ere. 'l=his continued until about 11 
o clock, when it ceased. This delayed the commenc.'ment of the 
shooting, and once more the day's events remained unflnished when 
darkness came on. 
The contest for the E. C. cup took place to-day. This had 61 entries 
at .$^5 ■ each, and there was also $75 added money, the cud iroine- to 
the highest scare; 8:0 the next highest, and $ 5 to the third highest 
The entrance money, after the price of the targets was deducted was 
divided 4 •, :-0, 20 and 10 per cent, making 6 moneys and the 'cuo- 
class shooting. ' 
Gilbert ran 50 straight for the cup, as did also Rohinson No little 
inttrest was manifested as it became apparent that Robinson misbt 
run straight; not a few expected him to drop a bird, as to do this 
meant $ U to him, there being no 49 or a pos.siale; but he iust smashed 
the last taraet as he had aU the rest, and tied Gilbert, leaviu- 
McMurchy. Heikes and Tripp to divide the $30 on 48. The tie for the 
cup was shot ofC at once at it birds, and resulted in Robinson caotur, 
ing the cup on x 2 to Gilbert's 21. ^ 
In figuring the averages for the day, GUbert is flrst with 94 then 
comes Fulford with 93.5, and Trimble and Heikes with 92 3 The ei - 
tries exceeded those of the two previous days, as 71 shooters tOv,k
