Arkansas Championship. 
HE open contest for the live-bird championship and the Peters 
tridge Co. trophy emblematic thereof, was held at Little Rock, 
17, and, considering the adverse weather conditions, drew 
a good field of entries, and, as is usually the case, resulted in 
iJiattle royal between Pemberton, Sonny Dickinson, -Powell, 
; I yd and Miller. It was finally won by Pemberton by the close 
gin of one bird. Pemberton shot a splendid race and won 
rtly on his merits, as he lost two birds out of his first 6 and 
; finished out with an unbroken string. The best shooting of 
I day was really done by little Sonny Dickinson, the thirteen- 
5lr-old son of J. W. Dickinson, Jr., who proved to be one of the 
ners up in the contest. This little fellow was not only handi- 
ped by youth and inexperience, but owing to his size, was corn- 
ed to shoot a 16-gauge gun; but with his little gun loaded 
;ri 2% drams of powder and an ounce of shot, he cut down all 
ds of birds in slashing style, and finished within one of the 
,per, and beat his father two birds, who last year won the 
jphy at the open contest. 
'urner Hubby and Hood Waters, two trade representatives 
sent shot along in the contest for the birds, as none but resi- 
ts of the State can compete for the trophy. Both made a very 
iditable showing. The birds were a good lot. In addition, it 
3 raw and cold, with a good wind at times which chilled one 
jugh so that quick, snappy shooting on the fast bird was 
G to acquire. 
iter the main event was decided, a miss-and-out was shot. In 
■i Miller scooped the pot, $22, on 6 kills, shooting out all the 
cks, including the experts. The conditions of the match were 
live pigeons, 30yds. rise. Interstate rules. This is the first 
e Pemberton has ever won the trophy.

Lloyd Chal'enge Trophy. 
Ir J. T. Lloyd, the well-known sporting goods dealer, in order 
stimulate interest in pigeon shooting, offered for competition 
rtty handsome medal, the opto contest for which was held 
22. With ideal weather conditions, this brought out sixteen 
ries, and while the scores are not very high, it was a stub- 
nly contested race, and ultimately resulted in Pemberton's win- 
with 22 out of 25. It was nip-and-tuck between Pemberton, 
Jzke, Cromwell and Powell, with several others just a bird be- 
d. Pemberton .showed the best staying qualities, and went 
route, while the others fell by the wayside. This makes 
i nberton's second win within a week, and until some one 
i'jsts one of the trophies from him, he must be recognized 
champion. 
he weather conditions were superb, and the birds, taken col- 
iively, were the finest lot ever trapped in the State, with no 
id to aid them, as was the case on this occasion, 
.ittly Sonny Dickinson was again present, and while his score 
3; not as good as that of the previous Friday, he beat out a 
= .-nber of the other competitors, and displayed his ability to 
1 good fast birds by the manner in which he c^i down some 
-he fast ones with his second barrel. The little fellow is corn- 
fast and within another year he will be carrying off the 
lors.

Target Trophies. 
All the emblems representing the various championships were 
held by the Pine Bluff Club, and as Camden sent a delegation to 
the shoot, they decided to try for all of them. J. P. Wright 
challenged J. E. Well for the individual flying target trophy, but 
owing to the latter's illness, this contest could not take place. 
Mr. Wright states he will not find time to return before the State 
shoot, and has withdrawn his challenge. The two-man cham- 
pionship was held by Geo. Clements and E. C. Arnold; A. L. 
Morgan and J. P. Wright ' challenged for this. The result was 
an easy win for Camden by the following scores: Morgan 20, 
Wright 17; total 37. Arnold 18, Clements 17; total 35. 
Camden also won the three-man team trophy, the scores being 
as follows: Morgan, 21, Wright 20, Brown 19; total 60. Pine 
Bluff— Clements 22, Howell 14, Arnold 13; total 40. 
This practically started the ball a-rolling, and the indications are 
that considerable shooting will be done in the State during the 
spring and summer.

grounds will be thrown open to the public the same as on other 
tournament days and any one is welcome to come and shoot 
either for the targets or for the purses. Ammunition for sale on
