J AS. R. Merrill, Sec'y. 
Ttap at Mansfield, La, 
One o£ the most successful toxirnamenls and one of the largest 
in point of numbers ever held in this section was the one at 
Mansfield, La., July 15 and IB, 1902. , 
Repre.sentative shooters from all parts of the State and ad- 
joining regions were present, and all enjoyed one of the most 
jjleasant outings possible. 
The programme consisted of eight 15-target events each day, 
with $1.50 entries and 2-cent targets. Division by Roe system 
factors, 7, 5, 3, 2. ' , , 
All told, thirty-seven shooters took part, most shootmg through. 
The ladies of the interesting historic little city prepared and 
served a most excellent dinner. All this was done in the very 
best manner possible. In fact, this part of it was more nicely 
arranged than at any tournament I have lately attended. The 
people of the town all treated us with the greatest possible kind- 
n c s s. " 
The shooting was done according to the Sergeant system. 
The traps were set in a valley and targets thrown toward a hill 
on the front and a wood on the right. The background was 
very bad. Birds were thrown wide, acute, low and very fast. 
When not striking the hill, they dropped seventy-five yards away. 
Numbers of the shooters, who at home make high records, were 
constantly wondering at their poor ' shooting. The extra speed 
alone would explain it, leaving out entirely background and th5 
very acute angles. 
Tha-e was an interesting race for first during the opening 
day. Only one target separated the leaders when the last event 
was reached, then Picket dropped four, leaving Welch winner 
by four birds on the day. H. Marsten missed with 14, Mr. 
Elam a close fourth with 93, Woodrow was fifth with 91. 
Again on the second dav the race for first was between Picket 
and Welch, the former losing by 5 targets on the day and 9 
on the entire shoot. -.-^ r 
Bosley was third on the second day with 90, H. Marsten fourth 
with 87, Elam fifth with 86. Mr. Elam shot a strong regular 
gait. He will develop into a good one, as will Woodrow and 
the rest of his squad. , , n , 
Hon. J. H. Caldwell, of Robeline, shot through the first day, 
but loft for home at evening, feeling ill. The major is a good 
90 per cent, shooter, but was out of practice. His geniality Was 
sadly missed.) . . . ^, 
There were certainly some nervy shooters m attendance. Ihose 
worthy of mention in this respect being Avington, Darnell, Flem- 
ing, Wemple, Warren, .Simmons and Booth. To this should be 
added Guy Winfree. Lyons and Sims, who entered the second 
day. Some of these men went the entire route without getting 
a prize, and yet hung on like grim deatJi, Such perseverance 
must eventually conquer. . ■ 
We had more "Nabors" in this shoot than ordinary, and they 
shot some, too. Mr. J. M. Nabors is never excited, shoots easily 
and gracefully; the writer is indebted to him for a nurnber of 
courtesies, one being a kind invitation to his home, which un- 
fortunate circumstances prevented me from accepting. 
A number of rising young shots were present, who will be 
heard from in the future, among them are the Marstens, Picket, 
Bosley, Douglass, Jenkins and Judge Lee, the latter furnished 
much good humor for the crowd. He, like his boon companion. 
Major Caldwell, was not shooting up to his record. They will 
arrive later, however. Mr. Lindsey had lost the fine- form in 
which he so conspicuously shone two years or so ago. If grit 
will win he will be again on top. 
A. T. Manhein was also, as the writer well knows, shootmg be- 
low the standard he usually sets. In fact, this shoot was a "rec- 
ord breaker." Atkins shot well; he is a comer. Dr. Nabors also 
is in the same class; Simm^ons, Wadley and Eraser steadily im- 
psoved. ' . 
A. J. Manhein, of Elorem, was also, as the writer well knows, 
shooting below his usual average. 
In fact, thie was a record breaker in this respect, at least. 
Mr. Atkins was in good form. His 14 was a nice exhibition of 
shooting, as was the same by Woodard. 
Drs. Nabors and Parsons did some very good work for ama- 
leurs. The Booths, Simmons, Wadley and Eraser steadily im- 
proved. Simmons took sick the last day. 
The shoot was remarkable for several things. One was the 
fact that only one straight was made and this right after a bet 
was taken that one could not be made. Welch made it in the 
second event of tJie second day and tried to duplicate it in the 
last, but fell on the final. 
On the right of the traps, 96 yards distant, is a tall dead pme. 
A shooter at No. 4 trap at one shot broke a target and killed 
a woodpecker from this tree. I took the distance to the tree, 
guessed at its height, calculated the hypothenuse of the resultant 
triangle, and found it approximately 98 yards. Mr. Woodard 
testifies to the above. 
Rain prevented a number of extras being shot the second 
day, so quite a number staid over. While the scores reached 
me too late for publication, I see there was some good shoot- 
ing. 
At the close of the second day a 25-bird extra was shot, Welch 
winning on a score of 21, Cowley second on 20. 
This tournament will result in much good to trapshooting in 
this region, as all went away delighted. 
A case of shells was oiTered to the squad making best spore 
for the two days; this excited much interesting rivalry. It soon 
became evident that the prize lay between East Point and Mans- 
field. The former won on a small margin. 
It would probably excise greater interest if individual prizes 
were offered to the four or five highest scores for the entire 
shoot. This, no doubt, in most cases, would have a tendency to 
induce a greater number to shoot through and more to remain 
in longer. Another mistake clubs make is in having squads 
composed entirely of home or nearby shooters. This always 
starts the cry of easier targets for some than for others. I have 
never known shooters to encourage or even tolerate such par- 
tiality, but no doubt the trap boys are frequently guilty. By the 
above plan it is very easily avoided. 
This was certainly a meet of typical sportsmen— men all of 
whom shoot merely for the recreation without thought of gain. 
No manufacturer's agent was here, nor expert, nor professional 
shot of any kind. All were Simon pure amateur. 
There is a bond of union between all true sportsmen that is 
hard to define or understand to the true lover of wood and field. 
Nature has a richer blending of her wondrous colors, as she 
strikes the myriad notes that thrill all who have a sense of finer 
harmony; to him there is a low subdued melody that others never 
hear. It is strangely sad, yet he loves to hear its soft vibrations 
as it pervades his whole being with a sweet gentle melancholy, 
to him the breaking of a twig or -rustle of a leaf beneath the 
forest's canopy is music. The cry of our edcuators is now "On 
'to Nature Study," and the 'mechanic grind has begun. No mat- 
-ter how low the brow or dull the eye or weak the brain, if this 
curtain that shrines the Holy of Holies cannot be lifted, it must 
be rent and the manufactured product thrust within. The mul- 
titude have mouthed the "Sighing of the breezes," "The, whisper- 
ing of the pines," "the merry music of rippling waters," until 
they have become meaningless phrases; those who utter them 
un-derstand them not; those who understand them do not utter; 
the full essence may be treasured within the heart but cannot 
be ehcompassed with words.2 Standing in a primitive wood, deeply 
awed by the holy silence, there is a feeling more deeply relig- 
ious than pervades a gigantic cathedral, thrilled by the organ's 
deep diapason or echoing with prayers voiced in song. His 
lips are silent. He utters no invocations. He bends not the 
knee in supplication, and yet, in one entrancing moment of 
holy joy and peaceful calm a' happiness that seraphs might envy 
steals Into his enraptured being and he truly "sees God in the 
storm and hears Him in the wind." "His mind to him a 
kingdom is," and his heart a throne upon which sits gloomy 
melancholy in solemn state, yet supremely happy, though in awful 
solitude. Only he who has breathed or drank this heavenly 
nectar in forest, dale or dell, or woodland bower; only he whose 
heart has Ijeen touched by the finger of God can fefel What he 
cannot utter. Binding the hearts that swell with these emotions 
aie cords to the mind tangible yet to the senses invisible, vi- 
hrant, mystic that makes us one and undivided, and shall never 
be sundered.

J. F. Welch. 
J. R* Malone's Mid-Swmmet Totitnament. 
The eighth annual midsummer tournament of Mr. J. R. Malone 
was held at Bay Ridge, A. A. Co., Md., July 23 to 25. The first 
two-days \y ere devoted to target competition, the third to live-bird 
competition. Targets were thrown Sergeant system. 
First Day, July 23. 
The programme had eleven events, open to all, alternating at 
15 and 20 targets, $1.30 and $1.75 entrance, $50 added money; and 
eight events open to amateurs only. Of these, four were at 15 
targets, $1.00 entrance, three at 20 targets, $1.40 entrance, and one 
at 50 targets for a handsome silver cup, which was won by Mil- 
lard Cantler, of Annapolis. In the county events the moneys 
were divided into' four parts — 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent., and 
there was a gold medal for the highest average of the day in the 
county events. This was won by Ridgley li. Bond, of Jessups, 
scoring 152 out of a possible 170. Edgar Basil, of Annapolis, was 
a close second with 151. 
Master Jesse H. Poplar, Jr., of Havre de Grace, the boy 
wonder, killed 18 live pigeons out of 21. He is only seven years. 
He uses a gun constructed especially for him. It is a 28 bore and 
weighs only 5%lbs. The shells used contain l%drs, of powder and 
i/^oz. shot, and the trigger requires a pull of 91bs, The youngster 
was the most cool and collected shooter on the grounds. 
In the experts' open event, German and Storr tied with an aver- ^ 
age of 178 out of a possible 190 targets. Elliott, while not the " 
highest average, did the cleanest shooting, breaking three perfect 
events of 20 targets. About the seventh event ne and Ben Eick 
were changed from a handicap of 18yds. to 20yds., which no doubt 
lost them to a great extent their chances for first prize. They were 
money events, and given as average money to the ten highest 
scores on the reverse system: First high average, $3; second, .$3; 
third, $4; fourth, $4; fifth, $5; sixth, $5; seventh, $6; eighth, .$6; 
ninth, $7; tenth, $7, The handicaps were from 14 to 20yds. 
This division was made to help the weak shots. As those finish- 
ing high in average will of course win more money than those 
finishing lower, this division of the purse gave the weaker shot 
a better chance.

Second Day, July 24. 
The programme in the open events was of the same number and 
kind as on the first day. There were five events for county shoot- 
ers—two at 15, $1, and two at 20, targets $1.40 entrance. The 
fifth vvas a team race, open to any four men of any county in 
Maryland; ,$35 to fir.st, $15 to second. There was a gold medal 
for the high average of the two days' open events at targets, which 
was won by Dr. H. E. Lupus, of Baltimore, with the high average 
of 184 out of a possible 190, Yesterday his average was 175 out of 
190. _ The third, fourth, fifth and seventh events he shot straight, 
and in the face of a strong wind shot the ninth, tenth and eleventh 
straight, making in all seven straight events. 
A. H. Fox, of Philadelphia, broke 104 out of 105 to-day. 
Possibly the event that caused the most interest was the county 
.shoot, which was captured by Anne Arundel two teams, taking 
both first and second prizes. 
■The teams' membership were: Anne Arundel first team— Basil-, 
Cantler, Tydings and J. A. Watts. Anne Arundel second team- 
Strange, Levy, Coffin, and Knackstedt. Prince George's County- 
Harrison, C. Watts, Baldwin and Cronmiller. Prospect Park 
Club, Baltimore County— Hart, Medinger, Brehm and Upton. 
Cecil County — Miller, Wilson, Jackson and Cole. 
Basil was the only one in the county events who shot 25 
straight. It was his shooting that gave the first Anne Arundel 
team the first prize of $35. Levy and Coffin did the best shooting 
for the second team of Anne Arundel county, which, until the 
last two events, were behind Baltimore county. The second 
prize was $15. 
Master Jesse D. Poplar, the seven-old-shooter from Havre de 
Grace, eclipsed his record of yesterday. 
The tournament was more largely attended to-day by spectators, 
among whom were- many ladies. Scores:

Third Day, July 25. 
The competition of the third and last day was at live birds. 
There were six events on the programme, of which four were 
miss-and-outs. The birds were fast. The unsettled look of the 
weather prevented a large attendance. 
In the Bay Ridge Handicap of 20 birds, John J. Levy, of An- 
napolis, won the sterling silver trophy, valued at $50. There was 
the keenest competition in this event, Great credit is due Mr. 
Levy, who is a beginner. His pointing was excellent. While he 
used his second barrel occasionally to make it more than sure, 
it was but a few times necessary. For the 20 birds he tied straight 
with Ben Eick, of Chicago, and Ridgely B, Bond, of Jessups, Md.-, 
and on the shoot-of¥ his fifth bird was a most difficult one and fell 
dead just out of bounds. Ben Eick had failed on his fourth bird 
and Bond failed on his fifth, Levy and he each shooting 24 straight. 
Bond winged his sixth bird with one barrel and failed, leaving 
Levy the winner of the trophy, while the three divided the first 
money, $50, less cost of birds. The second money, $30, was tied 
and divided between J. C. Hicks, of Baltimore; Millard Cantler, 
of Annapolis, and Capt. Malone, each killing 19 out of the 20 birds. 
Ilicks had the largest straight score of the day, killing 27 straight 
birds, and he, with Levy, had the best average for the day, the 
former killing 50 out of 52 birds, and the latter 25 out .of- 26 birds. 
Capt. Malone far surpassed the rest in pointing, for he killed 18 
birds with only one barrel each, Ben Eick's shooting could not 
be called his usual form, for he has been shooting a Winchester 
gun for three years, and to-day was his first trial with a Parker, 
A. R. Middleton, of Baltimore, and A, W, du Bray, of Cincin- 
nati, tied for third money, $20, which was divided, each killing 18 
otit of the 20 birds. 
Jesse D. Poplar, the seven-year-old shooter from Havre de Grace, 
Md,, was not up to his usual form to-day, killing 15 out of the 20 
birds trapped, but his pointing on those killed was excellent, as he 
only used one barrel. He complained tnat his arm troubled him 
from soreness on account of his recent shooting. He certainly is 
a wonder, and bids fair to be the coming crack shot of the world, 
for his eye and nerve are perfect, and his judgment excellent.
