Kansas.— The third annual tournament of the Kansas State 

 Sportsmen's Association will be held at Lawrence, Kans., June 

 8th, 9th, 10th and Uth ; $3,000 will be offered in prizes. 



—We have received the Constitution and By-Laws of the How- 

 ell Gun Club, of Howell, Mich. This club has an excellent record 

 at the trap. The rules are, we presume, the result of its own ex- 

 perieuce, and if they have stood the test of the club's practice 

 they ought to be practicable and sufficient.
