charge. There will be ten tPrget events on each day. 
The injury to Mr. Neaf Apgar's foot, from the accidental discharge 
of a friend's gun 'Vt bile cut f booting rfcfntly. is much )e.=s serious

amputation will be necessary, ror is there reason to believe that any 
permanent injury will rei=ult. The charge of shot took ellect across 
at the base of the toes of tde left font. It is bad enough, but in view 
of the possibilities of maiming or death, we congratulate him on his 
lucky escape.

St. Louis Trap-Shooters* Lea^e Tournament. 
St. LotJis, Mo. Nov. 26.— The first tournament of this new organiza- 
tion was quite a success, notwithstanding the inhospitable weather, 
which reminded one very forcibly of the last San Antonio Midwinter. 
There was not a day during ihe shoot which could have been classed 
as propitious, and this bo doubt kept many of the local shooters 
away, vhile again many were game shooting, this bein» just the 
heart of the quail shooting season in Missouri There were plenty of 
exper' 8 present to make the affair a success, as those who came shot 
right through The principal object of this tourn- ment was to create 
a renewed interest in the sport, and this ir accomplished in an admir- 
able way. as some of the local papprs gave the shoot extensive notice, 
and the Republic, in particular, did much to- boom the sport. Mr. 
Richard Collins, the sporting editor on this paper, devoted much space 
to the shooters and the shoot. The St. Louis Trap-Shooters' League 
has reason to feel gratified over the success of the first effort in the 
tournament line. 
THE PRINOIPAIiS. 
The WiDche.=ter Arms Co. was strongly represented by R. O. 
Heikes. of Dayton, O : J A. R Elliott, of Kansas City, Mo., and 
Capt. B A. Bartlett, of Buffalo, N. Y. The Du Pont and Hazard pow- 
der companies had that great trio of Iowa cracks present, Fred. Gil- 
bert, of Spirit Lake; C. W. Budd, of Des Moines. la., and C M. 
Grimm, of Clear Lake. Thpn there was J. C Fanring, formerly of 
San Francisco, hut now of Batavia, N. Y,, lookine after the interest 
of Gold Dust. Harvey McMnrchy. of Fulton, N Y , was in evidence, 
as was also rhe L, C. Smith gun. S A Tucker, of Meriden, Conn , 
Parker Bros.' representative, assisted by Charley Budd, succeeded 
in demonstrating that the Parker euns were still in the game. Col. 
A. G Courtney, of Syracuse. N. Y., the Kemmeton iirms Co repre- 
sentative, was estolling the merits of their new ejector with no little 
degree of success. The irrepressible J L. 147 Win.ston, of Washing- 
ton. Ind , was continually impressing those present with the figures 
1-4-7. Add to the above list Fra"k Faurote, of Dallas. Tex ; W. G. 
Sergeant, of Joplin, Mo ; John J. Sumpter Jr.. of Hot Springs, Ark.; 
C. C. and W. H Herman, of Kansas City, Mo.; Dr. E S. Winbingler, 
of Alexis. HI.; O. J. Howell, of Alton, 111.: R. H. Stockton, of Hanni- 
bal, Mo.; Herman Herschy, of St. Paul, Minn., and tbe local cracks, 
Eling, Dr Smi'h, Nold, Ch^se, Taylor and the two Cabannes, and one 
can readily see that the game was a hot one, notwithstanding that the 
weather was cold. 
ACCOMMODATIONS AT DU PONT's PABK. 
These were excellent, and far above par. The grounds are located 
a good ways out, as is the case in all the large cities, but the facili- 
ties for reaching them were not very good. Ttiey are not just on the 
car line, but Messrs. Gardner & Corray, the proprietors of the park, 
have a conveyance to meet the cars and take the shooters to the 
grounds free of charge. 
There were two sets of traps used in the target events; both of 
these were arranged on the Sergeant system. Bluerocks and univer- 
sal targets were used, and there was no perceptible difference to be 
noticed. The background on the lower set of traps is a very trying 
one, and it was generally on these that most of the shooters came to 
grief, as the grounds here slope up, and a line of trees fi-inge the 
little stream that runs along here. On (he other set of traps, which 
stand directly in front of the club house, the shooting is not near so 
diflftcult, and on these most of the shooting is done, the others having 
only been pressed into service for this occasion. The pigeon grounds 
are located on the slope of the hill, and get the benefit of any wind 
that may be stirring. The traps used here are Kind's latest auto- 
matic, and all other arraueements are first class. A nice hot lunch 
was served each day at reasonabte prices, while on Thanksgiving 
Day a fine turkey dinner was served free to all the visiting shooters, 
so that none need imagine that those who attended missed their 
Thanksgiving turkey. The meals were served by Messrs. Gardner & 
Corray, assisted by Miss King, each of whom is also a trap-shooter. 
Naturally the shooters enjoyed the victuals with considerable more 
relish. 
STRAY SHOTS. 
Gilbert shot at 68 pigeons during the shoot and scored 67, but on 
targets the clever Iowa lad was not up to his usual high standard. 
He attributes this in some measure to his not hating shot any targets 
during the last three months. On his present form he will most 
likely give Elliott a very stiff argument of those trophies nest month, 
The two Cast Iron disputants, Heikes and Grimm, tied in the 35- 
bird race with 23. This should be a hot race when they meet to set- 
tle that little argument. 
In the big race there was a two-men three-cornered team race for 
a supper, the teams being composed of Heikes and Budd, Gilbert and 
Bartlett, and 147 and Faurote, The race was originally between the 
two first pairs, but Winston wanted some of it, and chose Faurote as 
his running mate. Heikes, Bartlett and 147 were first to the score 
and each scored 23. so it remained for the remaining three to decide 
who should pay for the supper. Budd scored 25, which gave his 
team 48; Gilbert got 24, and this made his and Bartlett's total 47; Fau- 
rote got W, so he and Jack had 45, The supper will be eaten during 
the.Grand American Handicap. 
There was a carrier pigeon found among the lot supplied for this 
shoot The band on hi« leg bore the inscription: "K 25,912." The 
discovery of this^very likely saved the bird's life, as he was liberated 
at once and was soon lost to sieht 
Fanning shot targets very indifferently, but on live birds he was in 
rare form. This is one time begot over that unluckyl4th round, and 
the result was that he was the final winner in the main event. He 
had a run of over lOO straieht to his credit; that 99 score was made 
when it was absolutely necessary to win. 
John J. S'impter, Jr , is making plans for a big shoot at Hot 
Springs in February; the inducement will be SI,. 500 added money. 
There are to be four day,« targets and one live birds. 
Fatsrote was much handicapppd by a very "ore arm, and was in no 
shape to do himself justice. There was a very largo raw place on his 
arm, which became very much irritated by the recoil of the gun. 
Bartlett gave an exhibition of fancy shooting for the benefit of the 
lady shooters on the last day, and showed them and others just how 
rapidly a Winchester gun csn be manipulated. 
Dr, Smith, the local shooter, is rapidly coming to the front, and by 
next summer he will be able to more than hold his own in any com- 
pany. He displayed plenty of nerve and judgment in his race vf ith 
Eanniner, but 99 out of 100 is a hard score to go up against. It is no 
discredit to be beaten by such a score. While that 97 of his will win 90 
per cent of matches. 
Kling was in no condition to shoot, but he pluekily shot in every 
event, and made it especially agreeable for the visiting sbooters; he, 
J^ld, Taylor, Dr Smith, f'hase and Conrades were untiring in their 
efforts to make it pleasant for the vi^^itors. 
Billy Nold is another one of the locals who i=( rapidly developing 
into an expert; there is a marked contrast in his shoolina: now and 
when we first met him at the Missouri State shoot last May Nold 
assisted to keep things moving, and it is rarely that shooting and 
hustling can be combined with good results. The latter also applies 
to Taylor. 
The visiting shooters requested me personally to thank the ofiflcers 
of the St Louis Trap-Shooters' League, and Messrs. Gardner and 
Corray, the managers of the park, also the ladies, for the kind and 
courteous treatment accorded them, and to assure them that it will 
be a source of much pleasure for them to attend any tournament 
they may see fit to hold in the future. 
Wednesday, Nov. 24-. 
The weather moderated some to-day, so that up until about 2 
o'clock it was not too cold, then it clouded up and grew colder. 
The entries ran about as yesterday; there was no falling off and no 
perceptible increase in this respect. This, however, evidenced the 
fact that those in attendance were well satisfied with the manner in 
which the shoot was conducted. Rolla Heikes is again on top, and 
that with a much improved percentage. Then comes Faurote, the 
only other who made an average of 90 per cent.; Elliott being third 
with 88.6. Heikes made three straight scores of 20 ana one of 35, his 
best run being something over 50 straight. He was also very fortu- 
nate in winning several firsts alone, were Tucker, Sergeant and Mc- 
Murchy. 
Twenty seven took part to day. and of this number twenty-four 
shot through, two more than on the previous day.

PANNING— SMITH. 
In addition to the regular programme events, there was a 100-bird 
ma ch between these two. This was made up during the day, and 
shot after the conclusion of the regular events. The conditions were 
not favorable to the birds, as it was cold and bleak, and too la.e in 
the day for the birds to fly good, most of them being slow to start. 
Fanning "-as the first to tall down, his 8tb falling dead out of bounds. 
Then he developed a remarkable streak, finishing out with a run of 
93 and 'he excellent total of 99. The Doctor held the lead until the 
16th round, when he too lost one dead out of bounds Then he lost 
his 28th, after which he made a run of 45 straight, which was broken 
by his 75th dying out of bounds. From this on he killed out, finishing 
out with 97, an excellent score, but unfortunately it did not win on 
this occasion. Of the 200 birds shot at in this race only one escaped, 
the other three being dead out of bounds. 
The conditions of the match were: 100 live birds per man for $100 a 
side loser to pay for the birds. Mr. C. M. Grimm acted as referee, 
and Col A. G. Courtney was chosen to score. Everything passed off 
without a hitch or a jar, and the utmost of good feeling prevailed 
throughout. At the conclusion of tne match the Doctor congratu- 
lated Mr. Fanning and very cordiall.y shook hands with him

Thursday, Nov. 25. 
S'C Lotus, Mo., Nov. S5.— The participants in to-day's events were 
not very numerous, but nearly all of th"se who were present shot 
through the entire programme events. The attendance may perhaps 
have been kept down by tbe cold weather, for while the sun shone 
brightly it was disagreeably cold, and it was not until about noon 
thac the ice, which had formed on the brook that ran close to the 
grounds, began to thaw. Add to this a raw wind that blew into the 
face of the shooter at the score, and some conception can be formed 
of the conditions under which the contestanis labored. Plenty of 
warm clothes were necessary, and then it was diflBcult to keep com- 
fortable. 
A glance at the tabulated scores will show that the averages were 
rather low for the class of talent engaged, as no one was able to make 
an average of 90 per cent. This U all the more surprising, as many 
of the best professional and expert amateurs were present. Heikes 
leads with 88 6., followed by Grimm with 88. he in turn being followed 
by Gilbert and Elliott with 87.3. 
Straight scores paid well, as there were but few scored during the 
day. Heikes mace straights in all of the 15-bird events, and Gilbert 
had two straight scores of 20 and a 15; Nold got one 20 straight; Bart- 
lett took first alone in the sixth event on 19 
There were five extras shot in addition to the regular programme 
events, and altogether there were 5.280 thrown during the day. 
There was also a miss-acd-out at live birds. This had twelve entries. 
This was $2 entrance, birds extra, and the money was cut up bv Gil- 
bert, Bartlett and Winbingler on the 12th round. 
The table below shows that twenty-six participated in the regular 
events, and of this number it is worthy to note that twenty-two shot 
through the entire events, which must have been exceedingly grati- 
fying to the management, as such is rarely tbe case.

OUNERAt AVEEA6E. 
At this tournament tbe management very wisely set aside the neat 
sum of 845 average money to be divided equaliv by the five high 
guns, so there was something besides the mere honor of excelling to 
strive for. This kept up the interest in the shoot from startto finish, 
as all were striving to land a part of this money. As is very often 
the case, it once more fell to Heikes's lot to lead the procession, this 
time with 91.6, he being the only one of the many good ones to reach 
90. Faurote, the Dallas, Tex., amateur, is next with 89 3; Elliott Is 
third, ?8 even; Grimra, fourth, 87.3; Budd, fifth, 87. These are the 
ones who divided the $'5.

There were two events of thi^3 kind on the programme scheduled 
for ThanKsgiving Day, one a 15-bird event and the other a 25- bird 
race This proved to be too much for one day, owing to the wnfa- 
vorable weather and the large number of entries in thp bigevenl.tbere 
being only one set of traps used Both events were class shooting, 
not high guns. Four moneys in the 15-bird event and five in the 35- 
bird race. The 1.5-bird event was disposed of first, and then the main 
event was begun This made it about 2 P. M. when it was siarsed, 
and as it was apparent that it would be impossible to finish it that 
day, those who were unable to remain over were permitted to shoot 
their score out. Thus, Sergeant, Heikes, Ba-ilett. Elliott, (inmm, 
147, Winbingler and the two Hermans finished and Fanning, Mc- 
Murchy. Suinpter and Conrades shot 16 birds, they wiihdrawing and 
deciding to remain over. There was very b'ttle wind at this time, and 
the birds were ouly fair. But those who did finish shot their last 5 
bird's when it was almost too dark to see; so that the shooting at this 
time was considerably a matter of guesswork. This is largely respon- 
sible for Grimm's tno losses. C. C. Herman and Bartlett each made 
a very sensational kill, the Captain especially. His 'ast bird was a 
dark one, and he shot the first load somewhere in its neighborhood; 
but it did no good, and the bird seemed lost in the gloom He held 
his last shot until tbe bird had almost fiowu out of bounas, when he 
caught a glimpse of it, and oy a quick snap shot killed it close to the 
wire. 
Those who shot their score on Friday got considerably the worst of 
it in the birds. During the night it turned very cold, and in the morn- 
ing there was a fierce gale blowing. This hampered the shooters 
greatly, as it was difiSfult to keep warm, while the wind made 
screamers of nenrly all of the birds. Those that came from Nos, 4 
and 5 traps were invariable right-quanerers that had a peculiar 
twist and went down with tbe wind, so that unless killed close to the 
trap they|were frequently carried out of bounds, although s one dead. 
Dr. Smith lost 2 birds in this manner, as did a number of others 
The best sbcoling in this event was done by Buad, as he ki'ded aU 
of his birds under tnese conditions Fanning shot 9 of his birds on 
this day, while Sergeant hao finished with a straight on the previous 
day, having a rtm of 40 straight to his creriit. 
These three divided first money and shot off for the $100 diamond 
watch charm. Panning finally winning by a score of 14 out of 15. The 
birds in the shooi-ofl were an especially hard lot, everyone a corker, 
and sensational kills were in order right along. Sergeant went out 
on the 6.h round on a bird that 'he shooter and all present supposed 
could easily be gathered, but it struegled over tht- dead line when 
tbe boy all but had his band on it. Fanning and Budd were still a 
tie when 10 birds had been shot, but in i Be next string Budd lost 2 and 
Fanning 1, whicn gave the latter the trophy. 
There were but two 24s, McAiurchy and Gilbert. The former shot 
at 16 birds on heflrht d«y, losing 1 and then killing out on the 
second day. Gilbert shot all of his birds to-day, the one he lost being 
as fast as ever left the trap. 
Twenty-three's were numerous, as were also 22s. 
Tne conditions were z6 live birds, $15 entrance, 875 added, five 
moneys. 
The trap type will tell the rest of the story :
