Feb. 1 and Sept. 1 of each year, and to urge upon the Legislature the 

 adoptnn of toe same." 



It was resolved that the word amateur included all who never won 

 apriz? at any previous State convention where inanimate targets 

 were used. 



The meeting adjourned to Tuesday night, when it reconvened, and 

 several clubs in arrears two years were dropped from membership. 

 A letter from L. O. Smith, offering to present a cup to be shot for 

 annually, was read, but as the association had some years ago re- 

 solved to receive no more trophies to be shot for perpetually, the 

 offer was declined and the secretary directed to inform Mr. Smith of 

 the circumstance. 



Utica was chosen as the place to hold the convention of 1887, and 

 it will be under the auspices of the Oneida County Sportsmen's 

 Association. Officers for the ensuing year were chosen as follows: 

 President, Wilbur H. Booth, of Utica: First Vice-President, James H. 

 Brown, of Rochester; Second Vice-President, A. Ames Howlett, of 

 Syracuse. Recording Secretary. John B. Sage, of Buffalo. Corres- 

 ponding Secretary, M, M. Brunner, of Utica; Treasurer, A. G. Court- 

 ney, of Syracuse. 



The targets to be shot at in the trap shooting next year can be 

 chosen bv the club holding: the convention, but tbey are required to 

 give reasonable notice of what it shall be to the sportsmen of the 

 State* The business meeting adjourned without day. The scores at 

 the trap shooting, which began Tuesday morning on the Driving 

 Park and continued to Friday afternoon, were as follows:

Cup won by Audubon Club of Buffalo. 



The Genesee Club had been disappointed in regard to getting live 

 birds enough for four clubs to shoot at in the cup contest, they there- 

 fore allowed visiting clubs to enter for the prize, although the home 

 organization had a very strong team to enter if it could be done with- 

 out excluding visitors. Tame birds were used. 



There was a large attendance of spectators and veteran sportsmen, 

 and the shoot was declared by all to be a success. Charles Green, 

 of Rochester, directed the working of the traps and the management 

 proved very satisfactory.

A Point of Dog Law.— Henry Albach is a good-natured 

 saloon-keeper in the Sixth Ward, and has a pretty wife. He 

 always thought that when she stood behind the counter more 

 beer was sold than when more awkward hands than hers spun 

 the schooners on the bar. As she was always timid m his 

 absence, a savage poodle of the Scotch terrier breed was kept 

 as her protector, and, as the dog rested his head upon the saw- 

 dust covered floor, he dreamed of nothing but making a 

 fierce attack upon a burglar. John Ally is a carpenter and 

 lives on Twelfth street. New York. John has always dropped 

 into the saloon on his way home to get some beer and ex- 

 change a pleasant word with the saloon-keeper s pretty wife 

 Monday evening John came as usual, and, while standing at 

 the end of the bar drinking his beer, he slyly stole his arm 

 around the waist of the handsome barmaid The dog not hav- 

 ing tasted the flesh of a burglar for a long time decided not to 

 be conservative, and although the carpenter's caress was 

 tender and full of love, the canine thought it had come his 

 time to act, and seizing John by the calf of the leg bfgan to 

 worry bin lower limbs until he was beaten off. Yesterday 

 John applied to Justice C. J. White for a warrant to knl the 

 dog, and after hearing the circumstances-the Court denied the 

 application, saying that as he was a trespasser while hugging 

 the saloon-keeper's wife no warrant could issue. The dog s 

 nose still rests upon the sawdust, and he is still watching for 

 burglars.— Philadelphia Times.
