Arkans^ Championship. 
STiiTtGAE'r, Ark., B^h. 26.— No more adverse conditions Could b« 
ilmaieined than those under which the championship contest was 
d-ecided h'ere to-day. It rained throughout the whole day, and as 
there was no shelter at the score, the principals were exposed to 
the 'el'eW'etats during the entire competition, tn the face of such 
tonditioias it is really remarkable that such good scores were made 
the target contest, and Arnold's fine score of 49 out of 50 is 
Wen hette'r than it looks. In (addition to a bad light a gusty wind 
'made the targets skip and dutk, so that tlie principals were kept 
guessing all the time, and many a cypher in the score must be 
attributed to t4iis. TliiS worried all the contestants, except Arnold, 
iand that he Ivad Ui'e problem nicely solved is evidenced by his 
score, as only ft single target succeeded in eluding his aim^ This 
Ss Mr. AVttold s first win, but only once before has his sCore of 
*tj-d&y beeft Equalled in an open contest, and that was when Mr. 
J. B. Sjie'ets won the trophy at the State shoot at Pine Bluff in 
xTiily^ 1^01. In August of the same yeat Mr. G. W. Clements suc- 
tee^sTUlly defended the trophy against De Long in an individual 
ftoOtest, by a perfect score ; but these scores were all made under 
fevoVable conditions, and therefore Mr. Arnold's score will always 
irank among the best., .. 
The contest for the possession of the Peters Cartridge Co. 
trophy, emblematic oi' the live-bird championship, was a spirited 
■ami long-drawft-oViTt affair, and finally resolved itself into a 50- 
bird race betM-een Mr. W. B. Powell, of English, Ark., and Mr. 
ti. \\\ Lar5<a«, of De A' alls Bluff. 
The scoVes show that there were but twelve entries in this 
^vent,. but owing to scarcity of birds at least that many more 
Vete debarred from participating, and only those who had qualified 
•by sending their forfeit were permited to start, and even then 
!affeV two misses were compelled to withdraw. Thus only Powell 
turkan, Thibault, Balle and Arnold went the route, and all of 
'these tied on 24. The conditions provide that ties must be shot 
off at 5 birds, and Arnold was the first one to come to grief, los- 
ing his first bird dead out of bounds, and with it his chances of 
making it a double win. Balle lost his fifth bird, and as Powell, 
Larkan and Thibault killed, he was forced to join Arnold on the 
mourners' bench. The ne.xt string of five saw Thibault's finish, 
as he lost his fifth, a big blue fellow, that died out of bounds. 
Powell's second bird in the next string got away entirely, and it 
began to look very much as though Larkan would prove the 
winner. He managed to kill his first three, but the fourth, a big 
blxre bird, carried both loads out of bounds, and as Powell killed 
the refnainer in this string, the race was once more a tie. Thus 
regained until the twentieth round, when Powell again missed, 
and it only remained for Larkan to kill and win; but he was not 
equal to the occasion, for his next bird was a fairly good one 
that he could not negotiate. 
The supply of birds was almost exhausted, and it began to look 
as though the race would end in a tie, as only 12 birds remained. 
But the strain of the race was telling on Larkan, who is practi- 
cally a new man at the traps, and he lost his last bird, which if 
he had killed would have made the race a draw, as only one bird 
remained. 
Owing to the weather conditions, the birds were only an ordi- 
nary lot, as the elements were decidedly against them. In the 
shoot-off they improved, and in the latter part of the race some 
very good ones were trapped. If there was anything in the luck 
of the birds, Larkan probably got a little the worst of it, as all of 
his losses occurred on good birds, and two of the four were dead 
out of bounds, and not a single one got aw:iy untouched. His 
first loss in the shoot-off was the hardest of luck, as it was hard 
hit with both barrels, and fell just a little way out of bounds.

Immediately after the race was decided Gibson Thibault, of Lit- 
tle Rock, challenged the winner, and Powell at once accepted; 
but as soon as it became known there were several others who 
wished to hive another try for the trophy, the Pine Bluff Gun 
Club decided to redeem the trophy and hold an open contest for 
it on Wednesday, March 11. 
T. A. Coles was right after Arnold to shoot him for the target 
championship, and the latter was as eager as Coles, but ther^_ 
were just as manv aspirants for this honor, so the Pine Bluft 
Gun Club also proposed to redeem this from Arnold and hold an 
open contest therefor, if he would sanction this, there being no 
cbuse in the conditions that would force him to do so. In order 
to make these shoots as attractive as possible, this club ^yill also 
put up for open competition the two-man team championship, 
which is now held by I. .1. Vick and E. C. Arnold, members of 
this club. Thus the club is enabled to offer attractions which 
heretofore have only occurred at the annual tournament. This 
is largely due- to the fact that all the trophies are held by mem- 
bers of this organization. 
Target championship, 50 targets, unknown angles: Arnold 49, 
Coles 45, Powell 43, Thibault 42, Conrey 41, Vick 41, Cook 41, 
Balle 39, Wright 38, Ambrose 34, Sevier 31. Robinson 30.

Boston G«n CIttb. 
Boston, Mass., March 4.— The regular Wednesday shoot of the 
Boston Gun Club was held at Wellington to-day, and for once the 
club secured the kind of weather suitable for this sport, and 
eighteen shooters were on hand to take advantage o( it. ^ The 
afternoon's shooting furnished some new records, Griffith s 41 
overtopping Kneil's 22 of a few weeks ago in the consecutive 
match and Woodruff's 30 straight in the prize match, the first 
straight score in this match that has been made. Other scores 
seemed small in comparison with these, but Gleason, Spencer and 
i.infield all got in the 80 class, and Leroy and Barry all but in it, 
the former having to leave the shoot early, something Leroy docs 
not do very often. He is always among the first to get there, and 
invariably the last to leave, but at present not beincr in the best 
of health, it was good judgment to take a much needed rest. We 
are hoping it won't be long before he again takes the accustomed 
place with us, which means added enjoyment for all. Other 
scores follow:

Busy at Kansas City* 
The Foresters, one of the many wideawake shooting clubs of 
Kansas City, met at Blue River Park on Feb. 27, for their regular 
monthly matinee. Owing to rough weather and absence of mem- 
bers from town, only seven participated, but it was a spirited 
contest nevertheless, with a free wind and a lot of good birds. 
Groves won the honors with the high score of 17. Riehl, who 
killed straight, shot by courtesy as a visitor will} the club. Scores, 
all stood at 30yds. :

On Salurdav afternoon three trade representatives, Harold 
Money, Dave Elliott and F. C. Riehl, went out to the park and 
indulged in a little practice work. Incidentally a friendly match 
was shot at 100 targets. The wind was blowing a gale, and to 
make the game good the traps were set to the highest tension, and 
contestants stood at 18yds. The result was all that could be 
desired in the way of a difficult proposition. Money, fresh from 
his victorv at Detroit, was in best form, and distanced his com- 
petitors. Score: Money 79, Riehl 6S, Elliott 64. 
The usual weekly matinee was held at the park on the 1st, with a 
good attendance. Manager Elliott first pulled off two miss-and- 
out events, and then a short target programme. The birds were 
corkers, and in the handicap sweep nobody killed straight, 
although it was only 10 birds. Elliott and Bramhall divided in 
the first miss-and-out, and Hickman, Money and Riehl in the 
second. Of those shooting in all target events, Riehl was high.

KlLLJIORE. 
McCoy v8. Bttdd. 
Philadelphia. March 5.— At the Kevstone Shooting League's 
shoot to-dav a fine lot of birds was offered. Manv were drivers 
of the faste'jt kind. Only two "no birds." No. 2 trap broke and 
only onenpd part way. A shooter could refuse or accept birds 
fr'^ra No. 2 trao. The day was dull; but little wind, and warm. 
B"dd shot in steady form, rather deliberate toward the last. 
McCov was slower in form than usual at first, but pulled up on 
the second half and shot well, makin? several fine kills. He 
drp'v a little the hardest lot of birds, narticularly at first. 
The matolT was kept quiet, and only a half dozen people were 
present. The scores: 
J. Rothaker was referee.

Keystone ShootJog LeagU^» 
HoLKiESBufeG J'uJjctiois, Pa;, March 7.— The day was taitiy arid 
uncomfortable, consequently the wefekly sboot of the Keystone 
Shooting League was under unfavorable wfeathet conditions.

PXJBLISHERS' DEPARTMEm. 
From a New England Lady Dowtl South to Her Father in 
New Hampshire, 
Pinbblum, N. C. 
Dear Papa; 1 suppose you think me mean; but I have written 
twice to the folks, and suppose of course they have given you all 
the news. I hope your health is good this winter. I wish I had 
you where I could send you some of my fresh eggs and a chicken. 
You wish me to give you a detailed account of my surroundings. 
Well, Pa, I will try. In the first place, I am in the heart of the 
North Carolina long-leaf pines. This is an ideal health resort. 
We have, beside the health-giving ozone of the pines, the best 
water on the face of the globe, not barring the Poland Lake min- 
eral springs of Maine. The water is from living springs right out 
of the side hills over the whitest sand you ever saw, and the 
climate is something grand, warm days and cold nights in winter, 
and the same in summer, with always a beautiful breeze. I have 
spent the most delightful time of my life here this winter. I 
have got rid of my cough, and that is a great deal to me. If 
you know any one with any kind of trouble with their lungs or 
bronchial tubes, do not fail to tell them what the long-leaf pines 
have done for me. These are the trees they make turpentine of; 
also the tar used on ropes, and in calking vessels and a thousand 
other uses. 1 saw the other day a tar kiln in operation. There 
are very beautiful wild flowers here in the woods in summer. The 
wild Orchid, palm grass. Trailing Arbutus, or Mayflowers, violets 
and wild Honeysuckles, which grow profusely, also Jack-in-the- 
Pulpit, and many others I know nothing about. Now, about ani- 
mals. The hog, or razorback, as you call them, do best. There 
are lots of them running wild on the range; marked and turned 
loose; also there are lots of goats, which get their living on the 
hills here. There are possum, rabbits, quail and wjld turkeys, 
and foxes, vegetables and all kinds of fruit do well here, such 
as grapes, pears, plums, peaches, fig apricots, nut trees of all 
kinds, peanuts, sweet and white potatoes, etc. Well, Pa, now 1 
will tell you of our own place. We have 14 acres. Our house is 
1% stories, two rooms below and one up stairs — not very high 
posted, but it does very well to commence with; one kitchen and 
one sitting room downstairs. The chimneys here are mostly built 
of tile or drain pipe, but we thought a brick chimney would be 
better, so Albert built it himself, and never having built one be- 
fore, it is rather crude, but it answers the purpose very well. 
In fact there are several around where we live would like one like 
it. We also have a very good shed, and carpenter shop combined, 
also a hen house, and I have 18 hens, from which I am receiving 
quite a number of eggs at present, and I find ready market for all 
I can spare. We have about one dozen grape cuttings planted, 
a few peach, some priine and one fig tree; that is all as yet, and 
quite a little clearing done on the land. We expect to make 
our place a poultry and fruit farm. Give our love to all, and 
tell them they owe me a letter. W'ith best love to you from your 
loving children, Anni e and Bert, Mrs. A. L. Allen. — Adv.

No class of men are keener after new things than sportsmen. 
Each is an experimenter, constantly searching for some imple- 
ment or some method which will make his days afield niore suc- 
cessful To such men the Burtis Single Hook Trolling Bait should 
especially appeal, and no doubt many of them will try it. The 
Burtis split bamboo rods and Burtis flies are well known. The 
manufacturers offer an illustrated booklet on his product. 
The time has long gone by since the manufacture of ships, 
vachts and their fittings was confined to the seaboard. The
