St. Louis Doings — Buscli Medal. 
St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 6. — Mr. A, D. Mermod, formerly of Col- 
orado, has recently moved to St. Louis, and being an inveterate 
pigeon shooter, he at once began to make his presence felt in local 
circles. Being a shooter of no little ability, he thought he would 
try and gain possession of the much-coveted Busch trophy, so 
he proceeded to issue a defi to the holder, Mr. John J. Sumpter. 
This brought about the race to-day, and the new comer actually 
cut out the work for the holder, and for a long time the latter's 
honors were very much in jeopardy. Sumpter lost his 8th, while 
Mermod negotiated them all but the last one, _ which fell dead 
out of bounds, and thereby the match resulted in a tie, as each 
had a total of 24. The tie was not shot off, and will not be for 
several weeks, as Mermod had to go to Colorado to wind up his 
business affairs there, and he will be absent ahout ten days, but on 
his return matters will be brought to a more definite isssue. 
Mermod 2222222112222122211121220—24 
Sumpter ... .222222202222222222222222^-24 
The Sumpter-Dr. Smith match has heen declared off for good. 
Dr. Smith declining to shoot off the tie, and preferring to draw 
down his money. Thus 'he matter of supremacy between these 
two shots is stiU an open question, though Sumpter defeated the 
Doctor in a race last year. 
Memphis — ^Nashrille. 
The pigeon shooters of these two cities will engage in a little 
friendly contest at Memphis on Dec. 30. My informant could not 
tell me if this' was to be a team contest or just a sweepstake affair 
or trophy contest. This will also inaugursite the pigeon shooting 
season of the Memphis Gun Cj'w]?. _ _ ^
