FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Aug 31, 1895. 



together at Harrisburg in November by the president, N. A. Hughes; 

 t he Game Commission bill, circular letter and form of petition here- 

 with attached were approved and the chairman ordered to have such 

 number printed as in his judgment were deemed necessary to fulfil 

 the objects desired. I had 2,000 of each printed (at an expense which 

 will be shown by the treasurer) and distributed them to all gun clubs, 

 game protective associations and individuals within the State that 

 were thought to be interested in game protection. I mailed with each 

 package sent to an individual a letter explaining fully the objects and 

 intentions of the circular, as well as the bill and the use to which the 

 petitions would ultimately be put. 



The great interest manifested by sections of the State having at 

 that time no representation in the State Sportsmen's Association, and 

 the final support of the bills by their members on the floor of the 

 House, were as gratifying and surprising as the indifference and in- 

 activity of sections of the State supposed to be handily taken care of 

 by the various old influential clubs and associations were disappoint- 

 ing. The failure of the passage of the Game Commission bill as orig- 

 inally drawn, on third reading in the House can he attributed to noth- 

 ing else but neglect to see and secure your members' influence at the 

 proper time. 



The bill was in charge of the Hon. S. J. M. McCarrell, of Dauphin, in 

 the Senate, and was promptly passed by that body. It was introduced 

 the first night of the session in the House by the member from 

 Dauphin, the Hon. George Kunkel, who upon the third reading in that 

 body explained the objects at length, who the people were who had 

 asked him to introduce the bill, their numerical strength in the State 

 and thenecessity of such a measure to prevent the utter extermination 

 of what the bill proposed to protect. He was assisted on t he floor of the 

 House by the member from Mifflin— Walter H. Parcels— and opposed 

 by the following: Frank N. Moore, of Bradford county; Richard J. 

 Baldwin, of Delaware, and P. M, Lytle, of Huntingdon. 



In justice to those members of the House who were charged by the 

 press at the time with defeating the measure, and who were known as 

 "the Granger Members," I wish to state that that statement is not 

 true. Among the staunchest supporters of the bill were found 

 officers of high rank in that organization, and the poll of the House 

 will show as many of them for as against the measure. The bill as 

 passed carries wiih it no appropriation to in any manner make it effect- 

 ive. 



Another of the measures which were adopted by the winter conven- 

 tion, known as the Focht Non-market bill, introduced by the Hon. B. 

 K. Focht, of Union, passed both branches of the legislature, and, as is 

 known by every true sportsman in the State, was vetoed by t he 

 Governor, who gave as one of the reasons that it was class legislation 

 and therefore unconstitutional. 



The bill known as the "Ruffed Grouse Bill," introduced in the 

 Senate by Hon. Clarence W. Kline, of Luzerne, also passed both 

 branches almost unanimously, but met the same fate as the Focht bill 

 at the hands of the Governqr.who professed not to have any knowledge 

 of the law upon this subject. I make no comments, merely expressing 

 to you my disappointment at his action. 



On the question of game protection, we as an association have 

 started a campaign of education, and awakened an interest heretofore 

 unknown. Being in the right, there is no doubt but that we shall ulti- 

 mately win. To do this, however, there must be a better and more 

 thorough organization, a better understanding throughout the whole 

 State, and concerted action with one object before us. And until 

 that object is attained, keep all other' game legislation out of the 

 House calendars. 



I would suggest that the legislative committee be enlarged so that it 

 may include one from each county in the State, aud our wishes, which 

 are just and right and in the interest of no particular class, but for the 

 benefit of all the people, should be made an issue at the proper time. 

 No sectional bickerings as to the commencement of seasons, etc., 

 should stand in the way of game protection, and the entire State 

 organization should stand as one man in demanding that our game 

 birds, mammals, insectivorous and song birds shall have equal recog- 

 nition in the matter of appropriations for protection as our food fish. 



I personally regret that more has not been accomplished during the 

 past year and feel that some one else might have done better in attend- 

 ing to the work. I have done the best, however, as I have seen it, and 

 upon this line have no excuses to offer. I will make final report to the 

 winter convention, which meets for the consideration of game laws, 

 protection, etc. H. M. F. Worden. 



Chairman Leg. Com. Pennsylvania State Sportsmen's Ass'n. 



After the reading of the report a hearty vote of thanks was ac- 

 corded the committee for their labors In behalf of better game pro- 

 tection. 



The treasurer's report showed a balance in favor of the Association 

 of about $105. 



Under the head of new business the chairman offered the following 

 resolution: "Be it resolved by the Pennsylvania State Sportsmen's 

 Association in convention met, that this convention tenders State Sen- 

 ator S. J M. McCarrell and Hon. George Kunkel, of Dauphin county; 

 Senator H. D. Green, of Berks county ; Warren H, Parsons, of Mifflin 

 county, and all those who assisted in the passage of protective game 

 legislation through the Senate and House a press vote of thanks. And 

 be it resolved also, that we sincere] e regret the position taken by His 

 Excellency, Governor Daniel H. Hastings, in vetoing all legislation 

 passed by the Senate and the House, thus totally ignoring this Associ- 

 ation and its thousands of friends who had petitioned, praying for the 

 passage of the measures of protection presented or supported by this 

 Association." A clipping from a newspaper was read at this point, 

 relating to the case of H. Clay Merritt, the cold storage dealer of Ke- 

 wanee, 111., the particulars of which case are well known to the read- 

 ers of Forest and Stream. The above resolution was passed without 

 a single dissenting voice. 



After the resignation of the Wingohocking Gun Club had been re- 

 ceived, Mr. Denny moved that the Sixth Annual Convention and 

 Tournament of the Association be held at Harrisburg in 1896, under 

 the auspieeB of the Harrisburg Shooting Association. The motion was 

 seconded by Mr. McMillan, and carried. 



The following list of officers for the ensuing year was then elected: 

 President, James H. Worden; Vice-President. J. O'H. Danny; Secre- 

 tary, H. M. F. Worden; Treasurer, J, H. Wolstencroft; Directors, W 

 H. Wolstencroft, John A. Wilson, N. A Hughes. Hy. Thurman, M. M, 

 McMillaa and W. H. Burnham. The post of corresponding secretary 

 was not filled, it being left to the discretion of the Harrisburg Shoot- 

 ing Association to choose the person to act in that capacity. This 

 concluded the business of the convention, which then adjourned, to 

 meet at the call of the chair. Edward Banks.

A Good Day's Sport at Marlin. 



Marlin, Falls County, Tex., Aug. 14.— The all-day shoot which wai 

 held to-day under the auspices of the Marlin Gun Club was a success 

 far beyond the expectations of every one interested. This was owing 

 largely to the assistance extended by the business people of the citv 

 The Falls County Fair Association furnished exclusive privileges of 

 the fair grounds property, free of charge, and the gun club extended 

 the same to F. M. Stallworth & Co. for a refreshment stand and to 

 sell loaded shells. 



The merchants closed their places of business in the afternoon one 

 and all, and part of them entered into the matches, and when it came 

 to delivering special prizes donated, the very best in stock was none 

 too good. 



Messrs. G. C. Oltorf and J. M. Kennedy furnished the printed matter 

 for the club at cost of. paper and ink. S. N. Donohoe furnished beef 

 pork and mutton at cost and barbecued it gratis. The Nicholson 



Hotel presented the club with an elegant monogram cake and ice 

 cream for the occasion, and cut the regular rates for visitors who had 

 to remain over night. J. W. Christian made the bread and cakes at 

 cost of the raw material. Fannin, Son & Whittaker transported the 

 shooters to and from the grounds at 6 for 81, paid by the club. Dinner 

 was served free and spread in the pavilion at 1 o'clock. Ladies turned 

 out en m,asse in the afternoon and made the event a gala day indeed. 

 They seemed to catch on to and appreciate the good points made and 

 applauded the shooters frequently. The ball at the boat club house, 

 given by the young men of the city, was a great drawing card. The 

 first dance on the printed programme was for "The Gun Club." There 

 were about 100 couoles in all. i 



The shoot was under the management of the original committee of 

 arrangements, H. G. Rush, W. W. Turner, A Stumbach and E. R. 

 Emery. The judges' stand answered well for the referee's, judge's, 

 cashier's and score-keepers' offices, all of which positions were ably 

 filled by Capt. Lenair, E. W. Murrill and Bill Poe, F. W. Emery and H. 

 Wagner and C. J. Bartlett respectively. The gun rack was in charge 

 of a competent boy, who cleaned the guns as fast as they were used. 

 Five bluerock traps and bluerock targets and three live-bird traps 

 were used, and shooting was under the rapid fire in squads system. 

 Waco, Temple, Latf, Mart, Mexia and Bremond Gun Clubs were repre- 

 sented. Everything passed off pleasantly and all seemed well satis- 

 fled.

 money in each event being $2.50, three moneys, with a merchandise 

 prize in each event for the fourth money.

Averages of those shooting in at least half of the target events 

 were as follows: Ed. Fosgard, 87J4S, winning special prizes for same; 

 M. A. Reese, 84*; T. E. Hubby, 83*; S. K. McCall, 82*; W. W. Turner, 

 J. R. Jackson and G. H. Threadgill, each 803; Dick Jackson, 78$; W. 

 M. Caldwell, H. L. Sherrill and I. L. Reese, 75*; W. E. Hunnicutt, 70*; 

 W. T. Lenoir and J. J. Booker, 68?;-, H. C. Graham, 67*; Ed. Sparka, 

 64*; Ed. North, 63*; D. S. Moffltt, 60*; T. H. Ligon, 58*; J. D. Marley, 

 57*; H S. Seward, 56*; Jno. Marley, 52*; E. R. Emery, 50*, and H. G. 

 Rush, 45*. H. G. Rush winning special prizes for the lowest average 

 shooting in at least half the events. 



Ed North has the only 16-gauge L. C. Smith in Texas, and while he 

 is one of the best shots, this seemed to be his off day. 



T E, Hubby was just out of bed from a apell of sickness and had to 

 lie down between matches. 



W. W. Turner ran out of his regular 36-grain load and "fell down" 

 immediately. 



The balance sheet of the receipts and expenditures of the occasion 

 shows a defisit of 5 cents. 



The club proposes to have a shoot next year, probably in July, that 

 will attract shooters of all classes from far and near. 



P. 8.— We are perfecting an arrangement here whereby the Gun 

 Club, the Boating and Fishing Club and the Commercial Club will 

 occupy the same elegantly furnished club rooms over the First 

 National Bank building. We are nearly all of us members of the 

 three clubs The regular meetings of each not to conflict with the 

 other and each to furnish its own class of literature. 



The Newsman, 



Trap in Maryland. 



Baltimore, Md., Aug. 21.— The fourth and final tournament of the 

 Maryland and District of Columbia Trap-Shooters' League was held 

 to-day on the grounds of the Baltimore Shooting Association, under 

 the auspices of the Green Spring Valley Gun Club. A large number 

 of interested spectators were preeent, together with aboutthirtv-five 

 shooters, who participated in the various events. The day was propi- 

 tious in every respect. Shooting began about 10:30 A. M. and con- 

 tinued until 6 P. M., with an hour's intermission at noon, when the 

 respective contestants adjourned to Halstead's hotel and partook of a 

 most enjoyable dinner as the guests of the Green Spring Valley Gun 

 Club. The Green Spring Valley boys do not always win all the prizes, 

 but when it comes to a question of open-handed and open-hearted 

 hospitality, they can give the other clubs cards and spades, and then 

 beat them out. 



After dinner and a preliminary bout at 15 targeta, known angles to 

 get in practice, the event of the day was called, viz.: the team race 

 At the last tournament held on the grounds of the Standard Gun 

 Club, Aug, 7, the team of the Baltimore Shooting Association came to 

 the front with such a rush that it was thought its chances of winning 

 out were good, but it came out to-day in different toggery, unfortun- 

 ately leaving its spectacles at home; could not see the targes, whereas 

 to the contrary the Standard team had its eyes on them from the 

 jump and never lost sight of them. This team shot a good race and 

 won on its merits. A summary of the team score shows the follow-

Willey Defeats Post. 



Paterson, N. J., Aug. 22.— A good crowd got together at Willard 

 Park to-day to witness the match between Allen Willey, of Hartford, 

 Conn., and A. H. Post, of this city. The match was shot under the 

 following conditions: Fifty Ave birds per man, 30yds. rise, Hurlmgham 

 rules, .1550 a side. T. W. Morf ey acted as referee. The contest was 

 one of the best and most exciting that has been shot here for some 

 time, Willey eventually winning by one kill— 44 to 43. During his first 

 25 birds Willey seemed to have hard luck, losing three dead out of 

 bounds, and scoring only 20 to Post's 22. His 18th bird was lost in a 

 peculiar manner. When the trap was pulled the bird flipped up a 

 foot or two, Willey shooting when it had lit on the ground again and 

 apparently missing it cleaa. Th3 referee said, "Another bird if 

 gathered," and Willey broke his gun. As soon as he had done so the 

 bird got up and flew away, the referee calling it "lost bird." Willey 

 claimed a balk and wanted another bird, but this was not allowed him. 

 During the last 25 Willey shot in great form, while Post was unfor- 

 tunate enough to have three of his birds, and one of them his last, 

 drop dead out of bounds, the race ending as below:

Great is the Cotton States and International 

 Exposition, Atlanta, Ga. 



Enormous preparations are being made for the coming Exposition, 

 which opens Sept. 18 and closes Dee. 31. Probably no other city or 

 similar size and environments in the world, certainly no other such 

 city in the United States, would have undertaken this great enterprise 

 so w r onderf ully accomplished by Atlanta, and even Atlanta could not 

 have done this without the Southern Railway— the greatest Southern 

 System entering Atlanta from all the four points of the compass, 

 north, south, east, west— absolutely the only railway entering the Ex- 

 position grounds, and consequently the only line bringing passengers 

 from all parts of the world into the gates of Atlanta, and into the 

 grounds of the Exposition, performing the best service and affording 

 liberal rates. 



On the direct line to California and Florida, this railroad gives the 

 tourist and pleasure-seeker an opportunity to visit one of the grand- 

 eat Expositions next to the Chicago World's Fair. The facilities from 

 New York and the East in reaching Atlanta could not be improved 

 upon. The Southern Railway, the great trunk line between the North 

 and South, operates solid Pullman vestibuled trains, New York to 

 New Orleans, Memphis, Jacksonville, Chattanooga, giving through 

 Pullman Sleeping and Dining Car service from New York Via Atlanta, 

 the Gate City of the South. For further information, descriptive 

 book in thirteen different languages, address any officer of the South- 

 ern Railway. New York office, 271 Broadway.— Adv. 



"Hunting and Fishing along the Northwestern Line" 



is the title of a booklet recently issued by the Chicago & Northwestern 

 Railway. It is profusely illustrated, and gives information in detail 

 concerning the best hunting and fishing grounds in the West and 

 Northwest. Copies will be mailed free to any address upon applica- 

 tion to W. B. Kniskern, General Passenger and Ticket Agent, Chicago 

 & Northwestern Railway, Chicago, VI.— Adv.
