The Savagery of Tfap^ShOotbg, 
St. Lotus, Mo,— Bdiior l-'on'st and SiyeatH: Now and then a teVv 
real good people get after the blood-shedders, invoking humanity 
and decrying killing. The thirst for blood, they say, is left over 
from savagery. But somehow the fishers and hunters and shooter,? 
increase and multiply, and it is getting hard to find much of a 
man who does not do one or the other of these things. Why is 
this? Why does not the race progress? Why are men so per- 
verse? Wliy is split-bamboo allowed? Where is the miscreant 
who makes all this powder that is being burned? 
Having these questions solemnly in nijnd, the writer betook 
himself to the St. Louis tournament one day this week, carrying 
his old Parker along in case of attack by any of the aforementioned 
savages. And, truly, they are savages of the deepest dye. Tom 
Marshall wore a bright yellow hat that would make the Queen 
of Madagascar offer him half her kingdom for the privilege of 
wearing it, even if he did not otherwise capture her regal affec- 
tions by some such savage device as he played on me the first 
dash out of the box. I was riding from the cars to the grounds in 
a hack along with him and his hat, together with a lady and 
gentleman, the former of whom I knew at a glance to be the best 
wing shot of her sex in the world. Any pigeon that would try 
to get away from her does not deserve to go to a tournament. 
13 ut as to the savage device — I took out my slender purse to pay 
the hackman for my carriage, whereupon this utter stranger with 
the yellow hat waived me back, exclaiming, "Put that back, please; 
we arc all shooters, and we are all jiaid for." 
I began to suspect right away it must be Tom Marshall. 
Then, there was a whole tribe there with green hats. I think 
they were Apaches from Kansas City. A man was there from 
Iowa, wearing a red hat and a wide smile, called Gilbert, An- 
other one, named Powers, from over around Peoria, had picked 
up one kid glove somewhere, or possibly he had taken it from 
the body of some missionary he has captured and boiled he looks 
as if he had lived off missionaries for some time. He was just 
as proud of that glove as if he had its mate on the other hand. 
I looked to see if he had a pair of link cuffs on his ankles, but 
I guess the missionary hadn't any cuffs on when caught. There 
was a big Medicine Man. however, from St. Louis, who had 
all the rest of them guessing. Put the Apollo Belvidere in golf 
stockings and green velvet knickerbockers and you have him. 
Pie had evidently been making medicine in his tent before he 
came, for he shot almost as well as if he had never killed that 
British tourist for his clothes. It .seemed as if everything one 
of those creatures had managed to swipe he brought along and 
wore it, and if it could not be worn, he pasted it on his gun 
stock. One of them had found an empty flour sack and had cut 
out the round label and pasted it on his gun. 1 can't write it in 
a circle, the way it was printed, but it said, "Gold Dust XXX. 
Family Flour. The htaltJiiest in the world." 
It was a great sight. Mr. Graham, of the Republic, walked 
around amongst them without his gun and yet without being 
harmed in the least. Everywhere he went they gathered around 
him ill little bands, shaking his hand with one hand, while feel- 
ing his clothes curiously with the other, as if to see if he had the 
cup in his pocket, but never offering to search him outright. He 
remarked afterward that he never before saw a body of men 
engagtd in such a nerve-stretching contest where there was such 
complete absence of woi'ry, vexation or complaint. I have read 
somewhere that the man who fights laughing is a hard one to 
whip. 
To change the subject, somewhat, and by way of advice to the 
tyro who goes to a tournament, it may be well to say, in all 
kindliness, that when a pigeon shoot is shot off in squads, and 
it is not possible to finish it before dark, do not allow the man- 
ager of the shoot to over-persuade you into shooting at sun- 
down. He may be anxious to get the shoot along, but you just 
do like the sophisticated shooters do — put up your gun and leave 
the grounds when it begins to get too dark to shoot with precision 
The viTiter was in one of those sundown squads, with the sun 
shining right across the traps, and nearly every one in it fell 
down, even the peerless Ciay, the Eagle-eyed War Chief of Pine 
Grove. They must have fine spring water in Kentucky, or is it 
the grass? Anyway, he is about as fast as they come.

The second day's programme is like the foregoing, excepting

The third day is similar to the first in respect to programme. 
The fourth day has three events on the programme.

trance, five moneys, lib. can of Gold Dust powder and powder

$10, $10, $12, $12, $11.50, $12.50 and $10 in cash for each of the 
next ten averages. Winners select the merchandise prizes in the 
order in which they finish. 
To the ten experts making the best average in the first three 
days, $10 will be given to each, and to the high gun will be given 
a gold watch chain. All residents of New York State, whether 
competing as experts or amateurs, may compete for the New 
Y'ork city cup, and the Audubon Club will present the winner 
with a gentleman's solid gold watch, and a lady's gold watch to 
second. All average prizes will be awarded on the full three

amateurs will be handicapped as follows: Every man shooting 
90 per cent, or better, will pay $4 each day. Every man shooting 
85 per cent, or better, but less than 90, will pay $2 per day. These 
amounts will be set aside for a special purse, to be divided pro 
rata among amateurs shooting through the first three days of the 
programme, yet who fail to win one of the twenty special 
averages. 
The New York city trophy is a solid silver cup, valued at 
.$200, donated by New York members, and is to be emblematic of 
the target championship of the State of New York. It goes to the 
shooter making the highest aggregate score in all the events of 
the first three days; competition open to all residents of New 
York State, be they professionals or amateurs. The winner holds 
the cup. till the next State shoot, executing a bond in the sum 
of $200 as a guarantee of its return. 
The foregoing is a general review of the programme. It is worth 
investigation in its details. For it address C. H. Bamberg, sec- 
retai-y, Buffalo., N. Y. 
Headquarters will be at the New Tifft House, and the meeting 
on June 6 will be in German-American Hall, comer Main and 
High streets. J
