From the above score it will be seen
that Messrs. Cockrell, Merriman and
Leland made clean scores, and therefore
had to shoot off their cites" These
three gentlemen shot at three double
birds, the result being that Mr.. Lee
land killed every one, thereby making
a score of sixteen straight birds; Mr..
Merriman failed to secure the first one,
but killed three birds, and therefore quit
the contest; Mr.. Cockrell, after missing
two traps, also withdrew from the con-
test. The shooting was undoubtedly
fine, and we are glad to know that Mem
phis has such excellent marksmen.
