Arkansaw Traveler's First Annual. 
Hot Sfbikgs, Ark., Feb. 17. — Little of interest remains to be told 
coBcerning the tournament which closed liere yesterday. The at- 
tendance was hardly such as the promoter had reason to suppose — 
especially after the number of letters he had received from shooters 
all over the country assuring h'm that they would most certainly 
attend, and further would lend their hearty cooperation toward mak- 
ing: the tournament a success, but nevertheless in this respect the 
shoot was hardl.y such. True, there are numerous causes that 
brought this about, but none of them figure so much in the result as 
the bad weather expen?nced at the Midwinter tournament at San 
Antoiiio. which was conducive of no little sickness among the shoot- 
ers and a great deal of dissatisfaction; many -who had intended to 
come from there to Hot Springs became disappointed and returned 
honae. Then again that class of shooters who may appropi-iately be 
designated as the sure thing crowd did not like the handicap. 
The $500 added event looked alluring enough, and at flrsc they 
displayed considerable avidity to have a try at it, but 
as the time approached for the event to take place, and 
furthermore as some of them failed to gather in the shekels they 
bad anticipated at the Midwinter, they snifCed at the bait "several 
times, backed away, and tben crawled into their holes until some- 
thing more easy should turn up. An even break with the producer 
is not what this crowd is looking for; they want at least 30 per cent, 
the best of it. Well, notwithstanding that the attendance was rather 
slim the tournament came off just the same, and the programme was 
carried out to the letter, just as though there had been a hundred en 
tries. Financially this tournament was like its predecessor, the Mid- 
winter at San Antonio. In addition to the time and labor spent, the 
promoter, John J. Sumpter, Jr., will have to make up a deficiency of 
about $300; and yet heisnot cured, but speaks of holding another next 
winter on a more elaborat-e scale, of two weeks' duration - one week 
of targets and one week of hve-bird shooting. Fortunately for Sump- 
ter, be shot in great form and quit several hundred dollars ahead of 
the game. This in some measure will help make up the deficit. That 
S5 straight alone in the Eastman handicap, and again that remunera- 
tive S3 in the Arkansaw Traveler's Handicap, went to make up the 
bulk of his winnings. 
WHITTINGTON PARK. 
The place where the tournament was held is very suitable for this 
feind of shooting, but has one drawback: that of not being large enough 
to permit of the use of two sjets of traps should such have bpen 
neccFsary. The backgruund fo"r pigeon shooting is good, except that 
on the left as the shooter faces thw score there is a high. mountain, 
on which the brush and rocks make a very deceiving background for 
ibrown or chncolate-c lored birds, and also any dark colored bird 
that should choose to fly that way late in the evening. This very 
thing was responsible for several ciphers in the last round of the 
Arlington handicap. Aside from this, the grounds are perfectly level 
and afford a good view from all other directions. King's traps were 
■used, and the trapping was done much faster than is usually the case 
at tournaments of this kind; something over 100 birds an hour were 
.trapped without any special effort. 
THE BIBDS. 
Collectively they must be classed a's 'a good lot; true, there were some 
(poor ones and some exceptionally 'fiist ones; such is always the case 
where 'large nnmbers of birds a're 'trapped. About 4,509 were used 
(during the shoot, a iiTim'ber which could have been much increased 
ihad the mauagement desired. But trapping birds in Hot Springs at 
25 cents apiece is like swaijpiug dollars. Nearly all of the birds were 
ibought in St. Louis and wefe^bipped in hundred dozen lots, and each 
one Of these consignments aimounted to from $i40 to $J.50. This in- 
cludes express charges and *oops. This left a very narrow margin 
ito cover trapping and losseiB dccasioned tbcough dead birds and those 
lost in trapping, as wdll -as those refusTOg to fly. Very little was 
realized on the dead birds, and only about forty dozen were disposed 
•of at St a dozen. The balance had to be given away, as no place 
icould be secured to store them. It has always been customary to 
•charge 30 cents apiece for birds in Hot Springs, but so that no one 
should have any cause to complain that the management was charg- 
ing too much they were trapped at about what they cost. 
The first part of the tournament the weather was very disagree- 
able, but later on it turned out fine, and tlie last four days it was all 
Ethe shooters could wish for. 
VISITORS, 
R. O. Heikes, Dayton, O. ; B. A. Bartlett, Buffalo, N. Y., and J. A. 
H. Elliott; of Kansas City, Mo., were the Winchester Repealing Arms 
Co representatives present. iPhen there was John Parker, Detroit, 
Mich., and Tom K.eller, of Plainfleld, N. J., representing the King's 
Powder and Peters Cartridge Cos., of Cincinnati, O. Herbert Taylor, 
of St. Louis, Mo., took care of the interest of the DuPontand Hwzard 
Powder <^o. A, W. Du Bray, of Dayton, Ky , and O. R. Dickey, of 
Boston, Mass., were shooting Parker guns and talking about them. 
Then there was J, L. Winston, of Washington, Ind , to take care 
•of the Austin Powder Oo's interest, Tom Callander, of Nashville, 
Ten n . representing Laflin & Rand Powder Co and shooting W-A. 
Then there was G. W. Sergeant, of JopUn, Mo. ; Peter L. Murphy, of 
Pbiladelphia, Pa.; the one barrel champion, John Ellis, and George 
Hutchings, of Galveston, Tex. ; W. F. Norman, of Greenville, Tex.; 
Houston, of Chicago, 111 ; Bennett Charles Thompson and Wallace 
D. P. McClure, of St. Paul, Minn.; Dr. W. C. Porcman, Jackson, Minn.; 
L. B, Sohlndler, Wmdom, Minn.; Wirt W. W. Peabody, Jr., and 
Emile Work, Cincinnati, O ; W. H. Settle, Madisonville, O.; Richard 
Merrill, Milwaukee, Wis ; Chauncey M. Powers, Decatur, 111.; F. S. 
Parmelee, Omaha, Neb.; A. E. Leach, Tripp, S. D. 
Sixth Day, Saturday, Feb. 13. 
This was another blank day in so far as programme events are con- 
cerned, though it was by no means an uneventful one. Winston and 
Murphy shot, another match, and once Murphy took a fall out of his 
opponent. Then Norman and Winston shot two target races, which 
resulted in each winning one. The first one each shot 50 targets, un- 
known angles, and this was won by Winston with a score of 41 to 38. 
The next time Winston allowed the first 10 of Norman's to be scored 
dead, or in other words shot at 50 while Norman only shot at 40 and 
then added 10 to his score. This one Norman won by 44 to 42. There 
was also a team match between Heikes and Bartlett on one side and 
Winston and Parmelee on the other. The conditions of the match 
were fO singles and 25 pairs per man, and at tois kind of game the 
Winchester men proved too much for the other combination, i be final 
score being: Heikes Singles 46, doubles 4i, total 88; Bartlett— Singles 
45, doubles 34, total 79; team total 1(37. Parmelee led the other tea'.a 
by scoring -Singles 47, doubles 38, total 85; Winston— Singles 43, 
doubles 3i, total 75. making their team total 161. This was purely an 
exhibition shoot, with nothing at stake. Heikes and Bartlett gave an 
exhibition of rapid and fancy trick shooting. Heikes broke 100 tar- 
gets with five Winchester guns in three minutes and twenty-one sec- 
onds. Then Bartlett did his usual acts and teveral new ones. The 
trick of making kindling wood with a Winchester is a new one. Bart- 
lett tosses up an empty box. as shells are shipped in, and he and 
Heikes cut it all to pieces with loads from their Winchesters, so that 
fire could readily be started with the splinters. 
MUEPHY vs. WINSTON. 
The weather conditions were superb for a pigeon match, and this 
time Winston had really succeeded in selecting a good fast lot of 
pigeons, which were further favored by the weather conditions, as 
there wa.« a good stiff wind blowing away from the score. Murphy was 
the first one to miss ; this occurred in the 4th round, when a very hard 
fast one from No. 6 trap got away with the loss of a few feathers. 
Wmston had a narrow escape on his ad bird, which was missed with 
first and brought down by a great second within a few feet of the 
boundary line on the right. When 10 birds had been shot, Winston was 
straight, while Mui-pby had but a single lo.ss to his credit. The 11th 
round brought disaster to Winston, as he lost a very fast left-quarter- 
ing driver from No. 5 trap that fell about a yard out of bounds; his 
next bird, also an excellent one, was scored with the second, much to 
the surprise of all. Then followed another fast one, though it had an 
incoming tendency ; it towered as soon as the trap was opened, missed 
clean with the first, but closed up like a knife with the second. Then 
came a fast driver that was well killed; but the next, similar to the 
previous one, though a twister, carried the shot that struck it over 
the boundary only by a few feet. All this time Murphy was not draft- 
ing duffers by any means. The 15th, which he missed, was an extra 
fast low driver. When Winston lost his 17th, it put Murphy 1 in the 
lead, but he evened up matters when he missed his 18th, alow twisting 
driver that was out of bounds with three beats of its wings. Up to 
the 23d round matters were even, but it was the S3d that lost Winston 
the match. This bird was acirelinglncomer, apparently an easy one, 
that got away unharmed When Murphy killed his 24tb, one that 
was as hard as the best. Jack's chances went a-glimmering, as Mur- 
phy's last one was an incomer, and landed him a winner by 1 bird, 
the final score being Murphy 22, Winston 21. 
The conditions of the match were 25 pigeons, for $25 a side, loser 
to pay for the birds, Murphy at 28yds. and Winston at SOyds. This 
concession virtually cost Winston the match, for 2yd8. nearer would 
have scored all 3 of Ms de^d out gf bounds, neither of which was 
more than lOfc. out,

Monday, Feb. 1 5-Seventh Day. 
This was an ideal day for shooting, and as the target traps were 
still in position, also to vary the monotony, a couple of sweeps at this 
game were shot. Winston and Norman again got together; this 
brought about two matches, both at targets, in each of which Winston 
conceded the first 10 dead to his opponent. The first one resulted in a 
win for Norman by 46 to S9, and the other one was a tie, each having 
46 to his credit; $5 a side wns at stake oneach. Winston also matched 
Powers with Sergeant for $10 a side and the price of the targets, 50 
targets each. This Powers won by 46 to 44. 
The scores in the target sweeps were as follows: 
No. 1, SO targets, four moneys: Sumpter 20, Sergeant 2", Dickey 19, 
Powers 18, Norman 17, Winston 17, Merrill 17. Hughes 17, Leach -16,

Event No. 2, same as above, three moneys: Powers 18, Dickey 17, 
Winston 17, Sumpter )7, Norman 17, Merrill 17, Sergeant 16, Wirt 14, 
The programme event? consisted of a 7.bird event, $5, four high 
guns and a 10 bird race, $10, four moneys. 
Dickey did the best shooting at live birds, scoring all of hisbirdsj 
while Powers lost but 1, Hutchings, of Galveston, Tex,, was a new- 
arrival to day.

ARKANSAW TRAVELER'S HANDICAP. 
Up until Monday night John J. Sumpter. Jr., the promoter of the 
tournament, had confldentlv expected to see a number of new shoot- 
ers arrive to tak« part in the handicap to-day and to contest for the 
$500 added m^ney This was the da.y that the Arkansas shooiers had 
promised to put in an appearance, especially those from Little Rock 
and Pine Bluff, as well as the Memphis and T^xas shooters. Not a 
single one came from either place, and yet there has not been a tour- 
nament at any of these places within the last four years that has not 
found the "Arkansaw Traveler" present and shooting through the 
entire programme. 
Begardle's that there were only twenty- three entrie=, the handicap 
was shot just the same, and the $500 were added as advertised. There- 
fore those who stayed for the big event had notblug to regret, and 
those who shot into a place received more than they put in. 
As there were a number of shooters who wanted to leave on the 
?:45 P M train, the event was started promptly at 10 o'clock, and was 
finished by 5 P. M. Sumpter was the first to the score, and spoiled 
the anticipations of his friends by losing his first bird dead out of 
bounds. This was a rank easy one that flow like a carrion. I47's 
good luck held owt, and he drew a screamer as a starter that had just 
enough vitality to struggle out of bouods The 2d round was pro- 
ductive of four ciphers; Murphy, Elliott, Du Bray and Bennett all fell 
down on good birds. Round 3 put Wirt and Houston in the 
mourners' class, while Du Bray added one more goose egg to his 
scoie, Houston lost an incomer that looked easy, Win's was ordinary, 
but Du Bray's was one of the star birds of the race. 
Fourth round Ellis missed a good one, and Houston increased his 
losses one more. Werk, Hughes and Callender were the straight 
men who lost in the 5th round, and each had a good bird. Li Hung 
Chang was the unfortunate in round 6, a fast outgoer proving too 
much for him from the 32yil. mark. Du Brav again drew a sci earner 
and mi-jsed his 3d one. Dickey. Parker and Wallace failed to score in 
round 7. Dickey's was a slow incomer and got over the dead line, 
while the other two lost good fast birds. Leach now missed a very 
fast one, as did 147. Elliott missed a duffer of a circling incomer; so 
ended round 8. Round 9 saw Norman's prospects for first money 
spoilt, while 147 and Elliott missed their 3d, making two in succes- 
sion. Parmelee and Bennett also had a loss chalked up to them. 
The 10th round found Dickey all but shot out, as he scored his 4th 
miss. Parker, Dickey and Hughes dropped their second one, and 
Hutchings marred his straight. Parker, Dickey and Hughes's were 
all incomers, but Du Bray and Hutchings's were corkers. Every- 
I'Ody got over the 11th round without a skid, but Houston and 
Hutchings could not survive the 12th. The unlucky 13th was fatal 
only to Wirt and Ellis, the former being dead out of bounds, and 
Ellis let an incomer get away. 
Though Murphy had a bird scored to him that was clearly lost, he 
slobbsred a slow quartering incomer, and as it was about to cross the 
dead line one of the boys who load the trap made an effort to stoo it, 
but let it get by. though he succeeded in knocking it on the ground, 
where it would have crossed the dead line had not another boy 
grabbed it This was a lost bird, and the referee at first decided it 
fco, but changed his decision when Murphy protested. Eventually tbis 
proved very costly to the men who scored 24. Ellis missed again in 
the 14th round, but this time it was a fast driver that quartered 
slightly to the right. 147 went all but out, as he scored his 4th 
miss. Dickey got his 3d one, another incomer By the end of the 
I5lh round Norman and Wallace had two misses, Hughes three, 
and Houston four. Hutchings lost the only birds in the IBih round, 
which made hi« total three. At this juncture the trappers 
sprung a lot of home-raised birds on the shooters, which brought 
grief to several of them, Sumpter, the first man on the list, got a 
screamer and sai down with a smile that was rather sad. Merrill was 
straight up to this point, but one of tbis lot threw him down; the b st 
that he got was a strike, Werk got his 2d g' ose egg, Bennett his 3d, 
and Dickey and Hutchings their 4th. In the 18th round Powers, one 
of the few remaining straight men, lost a very fast towerer; Callen- 
der got a dead out of bounds, which made 3 for him; Werk got a 
cipher, making 3 lost for him ; Houston got out of the money by hav- 
ing one die out of bounds, as this made 5 lost for him. The 19th 
round Settle, one of the two remaining straight men, mi-sed a 
driver, so this left Sergeant in for first all alone, with but 6 more 
to shoot at. Parker lost his 3d, Hughes hfs 4th and Hutch- 
ings his 5th, putting him out of the money too. Round iO 
shows a dead cut of bouuda for Wirt and Houston, and a 
zero for Ellis and Hutchings, making 3 lost for Wirt and 4 for 
Ellis. Parker got his 4th loss and Hughes his 5th one, and all sup- 
posed tbis would put him out of money ; thus closed the 21st round. 
The 2-<!d saw Leach lose one dead oat of bounds, and Wallace, Cal- 
lender and Bennett missed. The expected happened in the 23d round , 
as Sergeant, the only remaining straight, mLsted a little easy bird 
that flew straight away and then circled, coming back from thr aead 
line. The shooter ran from the score and tried to head it off, but it 
had plenty of life left, as it bad been hit but slightly, and sailed over 
the grand stand This gave Hughfs, who had lost 5, a chance for 
money if he killed out, which he did. Houston lost his 7th bird. 
Dickey missed his 5th one, ard the loss of Werk's dead out of bounds 
made a like number for him; Hutchings, who was shot out of the 
money, alsalost another one in this the s!4th round. The final round 
brought on more trouble. Leach got a screamer from No. 4 
trap that beat his 1st, but went down from the 2d; he 
started to retrieve it himself, then decided to lei the boy 
go after i', but when the latter was yet some distance from the bird 
it gatbered it!-elf up and struggled out of bounds. Callender drew a 
high towerer that fell dead out of botmds, Parker missed a slow, easy 
one, Dickey had a good, strong bird fall dead out on the hillside, 
Werk too missed his last one, which put each of them out of money. 
Nobody made a straight; Settle, Powers, Merrid, Sergeant and 
Murphy scored 21 and divided first, $322.50, making SOi.fO eacb ; 
Sumpter, Parmelee and Norman finished with 23. and cut up $ib8 75, 
which made each one's pro rata $89 50. Leach, Wirt, BlHott and Wal- 
lace were those in the 32 hole; third money was $215.25, and paid pacb 
one $53.75 Twentv ones were more plentiful, ho less than tiye tial- 
lender, Bennett, Ellis, Dw Bray and l47-fltiisbing -with this total. 
Fourth money was $161.25, and each got $33 v5. Two went out 
with a total of 20, Hughes bnd Parker: this p9.id better than 21 and 
exactly the same as 2-<i; as fifth money was $107 5Q, each drew $53.75. 
After the lOth round Du Bray did some great shooting, up to which 
time he had lost 4 birds, but finished out with an unbroken string 
of 15, 147 had to kill his last 11 straight to finish vrith the total he did. 
Neither he nor Du Bray drew many easy birds in the race. 
The weather conditiuns were beautiful, thputtn a rnfl? too pleas- 
ant, while the wind ibat prevailed was also very fliful, coming first 
from one direction and tben another.

MiltLindsley removed to Ohio ostensibly to take charge of the 
manufacture of King's Smokeless at King's Mills. Such was his ex- 
cuse to us for leaving the generous soil of New Jersey. It seems, 
however, that the manufacture of ppwder is not all that he is doing 
in the Ohio Valley; he is shooting live birds, and having whittled his 
gnn stock at last into a sbape conyenient for hjs right cheekbone to 
repc'^e upon, has struck a gait that has not only paralyzed his Cincin- 
nati friends and rejoiced the liearts of those he left behind in New 
Jersey, but has also arouspd every member of the handicap commit- 
tee for' the Grand Ai^erican Handicap to the really sterling merit of 
this coming shooter. Jn a match at Hartnell, Ind., in company with 
some shooters from Cincinnati, he ran 25 straight without falling 
dead. In consequence of this work he has been challenged to shoot a 
match by -W. Fred Qtiimby for a "steak," a private championsbip 
toat does not conflict with either the Kansas City Star cup or the 
Cast Iron badge, and also for the priee of the birds. The match will 
be shot the latter part of this aontU at Qoodtoan's shooting park, 
CincinDatj,
