MINNEAPOLIS, June 7.— The presentation of the Nevada trophy 

 to Capt. James H. Gageby, Third Infantry, the commanding officer 

 of the winning company, D. of the Third Infantry, took place at 

 department headquarters this morning. Gen. Ruger. in presenting 

 the emblem, simply congratulated the winners and commended their 

 skill and efficiency in the use of the rifle. Capt. Gageby pledged his 

 best efforts to have his company win it a second lime. This trophy 

 is one of the handsomest and most costly of any ever offered to a 

 military organization in this country. After passing through the 

 hands of various military companies in the East, it was offered in 

 1881 as a prize to a company in the regular army making the best 

 score in target practice during the season. Last year it was held by 

 Company K (Gray's). Twenty fifth Infantry. This year, as has been 

 said, it becomes the property of Company D, of the Third, the award 

 being based upon the general figure of merit of 129.47,

The twelfth annual convention of the. Illinois State Sportsmen's 

 Association was held at the Palmer House. Thirty-one clubs were 

 represented by delegates on the floor. President Kern made a snort 

 address, in which he deplored the reckless killing of game through- 

 out the country. He hoped that the Association would take some 

 action in the direction of the enforcement of the game laws. He ad- 

 vocated the setting apart of large tracts of government land for 

 national game preserves. In his opinion the step to be taken was the 

 abolition of spring shooting. He decried the wanton shooting of 

 birds of beautiful plumage, and advocated the framing of laws to 

 cover this feature of so-called sportsmanship. He welcomed the 

 delegates to Chicago, and trusted that their stay would be altogether 

 a pleasant one. 



Applications for membership were read from several clubs. The 

 repoit of the treasurer, Abner Price, showed a balance of $155 in the 

 trea-ury. The rule relating to live-bird shooting, specifying that the 

 shooter shall not raise his gun to his shoulder until he cries "pull," 

 was adopted almost unanimously. The following resolution was 

 adopted: Whereas, The shooting of ducks, geese and brant during 

 the period tnat the process of breeding is being carried on is in direct 

 opposition to the best interests of game protection, and thwarts the 

 efforts of nature to repair the natural waste which occurs during the 

 time they are shot and can be shot without interfering with the 

 breeding interests; therefore be it 



Resolved, That the Illinois State Sportsmens' Association, being in 

 effect what it is in name, is opposed to a practice so injurious to the 

 best interests of sportsmen and the cause of game protection, which 

 is of the utmost importance to them, and directs the law committee 

 of the Association to prepare a bill and present the same to the Legis- 

 lature prohibiting the shooting of ducks, geese, brant, and snipe, 

 between Feb. 1 and Sept. 1. 



On motion of Mr. W. N. Low each club of the Association was re- 

 quested to prosecute all violators of the game laws. 



On motion of Dr. Henry the next convention and tournament was 

 set for Chicago, in August, 1887. 



The election of officers resulted as follows: President, Col. James 

 A. Sexton, of the Cumberland Gun Club, Chicago; First Vice-Presi- 

 dent, R. B. Organ, of the Chicago Shooting Club, Chicago; Second 

 Vice-President, Dr. Charles Henry, of the Audubon Club, Jackson- 

 ville, 111.; Secretary and Treasurer, W. L. Shepard, of the Cumber- 

 land Gun Club, Chicago. 



June 8.— There was a larger attendance by far than on the opening 

 day, and a larger number of participants in the various events. The 

 presence of ladies was noticed. The first contest was the shoot-off 

 on the ties in shoot No. 1 of the previous day. George Kleinman

 Jaeger. The winner is one of the Kleinman brothers, the poted
