FOREST AND STREAM, 
[AuG. 26, 1899. 
average of .925, and is second to Budd. who o£ course leads the 
bunctt with the great percentage of .956. Coles and Gottlieb are 
tied for third place with .913, while Thibault and Welch are also 
tied for fifth place. Budd made four straights during the day, and 
his best run was 51. Frank also made tour sti-aigJ^ts, but all of 
these occurred in 15-bird events. Gottlieb has three straights to 
his credit, and he and Frank broke their first 34 targets straight. 
There was not a single event without a straight, though in the 
eighth event there were none that counted until the very last 
man went to the score, and he, Weigel, shattered his 20 targets in 
great fashion, and with it the hope of the eight men who hoped 
to get a piece of the purse on their score of 15. 
The weather was bright and clear, with very little wind and not 
too warm, so that the conditions were favorable to good scores. 
The programme consisted of eight 15-target events and two 20s, 
v/hile there was also a 25-target handicap, but this remained un- 
finished. Budd and Taylor shot tor targets only, being trade 
representatives. 
Kose system prevailed; ratio 7, 5, 4, 8, when four moneys; when 
five moneys 7, 5, 4, 3, 2.

Second Day, Wedoesday, Aug* J 6. 
The result of to-day's shooting is in many respects similar to 
that of yesterday, as the aggregate shows Budd again lir.st, with 
the same average. as the day before, while Frank, too, has main- 
tained the lead in his class, though he is 2 breaks short of yester- 
day. Coles is again contending tor third position, though on this 
occasion it is with Williams, one of tbe new arrivals, who was not 
present yesterday. Hodges, too shows marked impi-ovement, and 
has fifth place all to himself, after which come Chase, Matthews 
and Gottlie.b, the latter having let down somewhat in his shooting. 
Fletcher, who yesterday was very near the bottom, .showed the most 
improvement, as to-day he is well to the front and leads all the 
Jiome contingent. 
The open programme was identical with that of the day previous, 
but the State team championship was also decided. The general 
conditions, if anything, were even more favorable than yesterday, 
as it was partially cloudy, though the light was good, and it was 
even cooler than the day previous. In this respect the shooters 
have nothing to complain of. 
The score sheet shows that forty-two participated in to-day's 
events, which is the largest entry recorded since '95, on which 
occasion the shoot was practically wide open, and we had all of 
the wolves with us, who had been to Kno.xville the week previous.

Team Championship, 
This event was also on the schedule, and was therefore disposed 
of in the order. At the meeting last night the conditions govern- 
ing this were changed from a four-men to a three- men team shoot, 
while henceforth this medal will be subject to a challenge, the 
same as the individual emblem, and as the Association will redeem 
the medal each year, paying the holder ?10,_ it is possible that 
there will be some additional contests for it. The Pine Bluff 
shooters were the chief advocates of the above change, and they 
should at once set a good example by challenging the holders. 
The contest itself brought ' out some surprising results, for the 
winner. Fort Smith Club, was not looked upon as a factor to 
any extent in the race, for this team contained but one particular 
Strong shooter. However, they put up a very uniform score, and 
landed the medal on the creditable score of 66 out of 75, Leach, 
having the honor of leading the team. Little Rock's team, com- 
posed of -the country contingent, is second with 63, Pem_berton being 
'high man on it, while Pine Bluff and l^ittle Rock's city element 
are a tie with a total of 62, Heretofore each club could enter but 
one team in this race, but in the future they may send all they 
can muster. The conditions of this event are 25 targets per man, 
entrance price of targets. 
Last year the Little Rock team won the medal on the very 
insignificant total of 77 out of 100, while the year previous it was 
won by the Pine BIufT Club with a score of 84. This is Fort 
Smith's second win, they having captured it at Hot Springs in 
1892.

Third Day, Thursday, Aug. 17, 
Lharley Budd was iU'r-quite ill— so ill in fact that he was unable 
to leave on -the evening train, as he intended to do; but not- 
withstanding that he had a high fever he shot better than on any 
of the preyious days, for he had chalked up a 113 straight before 
the first miss was recorded against him, which did not occur rmtil 
the eighth event, and he managed to iinish the programme with 
but 4 losses, which gives him the fine percentage of .977. This 
excels anything heretofore accomplished at the traps in this city. 
Welch carne forward with a rush to-day and practically ran away 
irom his class, as his nearest competitors— Gottlieb and' Williams- 
are 7 breaks behind. To him goes the distinction of making the 
best percentage on any day during the shoot among those who 
are permitted to shoot for money. Not onlv does this apply to the 
present tournament, but also to all of the previous ones given 
by this Association. The best previous records in this respect 
M'ere made by Dr. Forsythe, a year ago, and duplicated by Frank 
on the fir.st day of the present shoot, their percentage on these 
occasions being .925. Col. Woodson showed up particularly 
.strong to-day, and has no less than three straight scores to lifs 
credit, having finished with a run of nearly 50 straight. Pemberton, 
too, was largely in evidence, and is tied with the Maj'or for fifth 
place. The weather was again propitious and pleasant to a marked 
degree. 
The individual championship and the handicap medal were 
ainong the events disposed of to-day. The latter was won by 
Gibson Thibault, the young man who acted so efficiently in the 
capacity of referee during the tournament. .Hudd, Tavlor, Hodges, 
Fletcher, M'oodson, Loeb and G. Thibault tied on the total with 
their allowances, with the exception of Budd. who was scratch, 
and who withdrew from the contest. In the shoot-off G, Thibault 
and Fletcher again tied, and the next trial between these two re- 
sulted the same, as each of them scored 23 without their allow- 
ance. Fletcher now agreed to let the bov shoot at 19 to his 17, 
and the latter easily won out by scoring all but 1 while Fletcher 
dropped 4.

ladividual Championship. 
Mayor Woodson was prevented by municipal business from 
shooting through, although such was his intention. The last 
day he was largely in the division, as he made no less than three 
straights. This stride would doubtless have landed him among 
the seven high guns, In addition to this, he had the bad luck to 
break his gun on the first day. 
Dr. A. U. Williams, winnef of the individual championship, 
shot a Smith gun, Smokeless shells and Du Pont powder. This 
has been the Doctor's favorite combination for a long time. 
Pemberton was the only one of the local shooters to get among 
the seven high guns. Singularly this was distributed in as many 
different sections, Memphis, Pine Bluff, Kansas City, Robeline, 
Fort Smith, St. Louis and Little Rock getting a piece of it. 
Frank Hodges" poor showing on the first day was due to the 
fact that he arrived here without a gun; but on the second day 
his pump came to hand, and thereafter he also became a factor in 
the shoot. Frank contemplates holding a shoot at Olathe next 
month, with about $300 added. 
Leach showed up in such improved form that he siii-prised all 
his friends. It was on preliminary day that he did his best shoot- 
ing, for on this day he ran straight m three successive events. 
J. T. Welch, the Rcbeline shooter, has made much progress in 
the art of shooting since he last visited us, and on this occasion 
was right to the front. The writer well remembers Mr. Welch's 
first efforts at the trap, which occurred at the Monroe shoot in 
1897, 
Chris Gottlieb created the same favorable impression here as 
everywhere. It is not at all surprising that he should have 
achieved so much success in politics". A person of his disposition 
and affable manners cannot help being a winner wherever he goes 
Chris's shooting was not quite up to the customary high standard, 
but nevertheless he is very close to the top. He is scheduled to 
return next November and go on a camp hunt. 
Chase expressed himself highly elated over his trip to Arkansas 
and promises to be with us again next year. To land among the 
average winners is not so bad in the field that was here. 
_Ed Howell shot a great race for the c'hampionship. He ran 
his first 24 birds straight, and when he finished with 46 everyone 
hoped he would win. There are none more clever and few who 
possess so many friends, Ed has steadily improved in his 
.shooting. 
The Fort Smith delegation pramise to make the next tourna- 
ment one of the most attractive ever given in the South, and 
it is their intention to materially increase the added money at this 
shoot. They realize that this is what will draw the crowd. This 
shoot will take place some time duping July. 
PAUL R. LlTZKE. 
Seventeen shooters qualified for this race, which was the greatest 
ever shot for this or any similar trophy since the organization of 
the State Associati on. Collectively and individually, the scores 
rank higher than heretofore, and the contest was keen and close 
until the very finish. The Pine Bluff delegation was permitted to 
shoot up their score, so as to enable them to take an early train 
for home, and of this contingent Ed Howell finished with 46, which 
was the best score ever made in a contest for this trophy, and it 
was generally conceded that this would ultimately win "for him, 
and as he is exceedingly jiopular he was the recipient of much 
congratulation; but liis hope was eventually to be shattered, for 
later, when the contest was taken up, Joe Matthews also put up a 
score equal to that of Howell's. However, neither of these was to 
become the i)ossessor of any jewelry, for there was a doctor who 
had a few thiiigs up his sleeve, and when it came his turn to try 
conclu.sions with the saucers he negotiated them so successfully 
that all but 3 of them were put in the game sack, and his score 
exceeded that of Howell and Matthews by a single break, which 
was just suiificient to win; all of which i.s very pleasing to record, 
as the Doctor has been with the Association since its inception, 
being one of the few charter members yet remaining in the fold 
and has ever contributed his mite toward its advancement and suc- 
cess. 
The first open, contest for this medal took place at Pine Bluflf 
in 1897, where it was won by H. Conner, of Little Rock, wlio 
turned it oyer to Geo. Clements, of Pine Bluff, after being de- 
feated by him in an individual contest by a score of 44 to 43. 
John .Sumpter next got possession of it, as he won it from 
Clements; they both tied on the very itiferior score of 39, but in 
the shoot-oft' Sumpter broke 24 out of 25 to Clements' 20. In the 
open contest of 1898 Sumpter again won it, scoring 42, but shortly 
after he had to surrender it to Joe Matthews, when the latter de- 
feated him by a score of 44 to 43. Matthews retained possession 
of it nearly twelve months, as no one seemed to care to go after 
it. The conditions are 50 singles, unknown angles:

Stray Items. 
A, H, Ffank, that popular Memphis sliooter who won high 
average in the amateur class with an even 90 per cent., shot a 
Parker gun. Leader shells and Schultze powder. No one envies 
Abe's success, and all hope to see him again next year. 
Weigel, winner of the local club medal, was in evidence at this 
shoot also; he scored a 20 straight in the first event he took 
part in, and this cannot be looked upon as a fluke, for he was the 
last man up, and was aware that no one had accomplished this. 
Herbert Taj'lor, of Du Pont Powder Co.,. sprung quite a .sur- 
prise on the crowd by putting up an enormous cake for competi- 
tion. In this cake Charley Budd had put a new nickel, and the 
winner was compelled to cut it 011 the grounds, while the one 
who was fortunate enough to draw the piece containing the 
coin would be presented with 50 shells by Budd. Welch won llie 
cake and Daniels got the piece containint^ the nickel, so that 
the cake and the shells were won by Louisiana's representatives. 
Attorney-General Jeff' Davis participated during the first two 
days, and while he made no pretentions of being a trap shot 
would doubtless soon develop into one, as on seiveral occasions 
he landed well toward the top. Jeft' added much life to the shoot 
by his good-natured bantering. There are few better quail shots, 
and his string of dogs are among the best in the Stat«,

Httdson Gun Club. 
Aug. 21.— The house- warming shoot of the Hudson Gun Club 
was an unqualified success. The members and their friends turned 
out in great force and shot with a persistency which resulted 
in about 7,000 targets being thrown. This shoot was to introduce 
the improvements and new club house to public notice, as well 
as to hold a good shoot after so many weeks of hard work, for the 
new house, two stories, with ample room for the club members, 
was the work of their own hands. Two sets of target traps have 
been installed, and thus ample shooting can be provided to mem- 
bers and their friends. A delicious clam chowder was served free, 
with sandwiches, lemonade, ginger ale, etc., and everyone to a mare 
enjoyed himself thoroughly. The weather was sweltering hot, but 
no one seemed to mind it particularly;. A race at 50 targets be- 
tween Harold Money and Dudley excited much interest from its 
closeness, 47 to 46 in favor of the latter, who was shooting a great 
gait. 
By an oversight the scores of those who shot for tagets only 
were not obtained. The following are the scores of those who 
shot in the sweeps: 
A team race, five men, 25 targets, resulted as follows: 
Brooklyn Gun Club— Capt. Money 20, Dudley 24, Waters 20, H. 
.Money 20, Dr. Webber 20; total 104.
