FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Sept. 26, 1889 



CONNECTICUT TOURNAMENT. 



MERIDEN, Conn.— A three days' shoot at Keystone targets 

 was held here on the 17th, 18th and 19th, in connection with 

 the State fair. Several medals and purses had been offered by 

 the Fair Association, and in addition to these events a large 

 number of open sweepstakos were shot. The first two days were 

 rainy and very disagreeable, so a much smaller number of con- 

 testants were in attendance than was hoped for. On the last day 

 the conditions changed, and with the exception of one hard 

 shower in the afternoon, during which all were forced to seek 

 shelter, the weather was very pleasant. The scores are here 

 given in full.

NEW JERSEY ASSOCIATION. 



THE annual meeting of the New Jersey State Sportsmen's As- 

 sociation was held on Monday evening, Sept. 23, at 812 Broad 

 street, Newark, N. J. The President. Dr. W. N. Pindcll brought 

 the meeting to order at 8:45 and Secretary Win. Hayes called the 

 roll to which the following delegates responded: Jersey City 

 Heights Gun Club. Al. Heritage; Middlesex Gnr: Club Se'vmour 

 G.Smith and W. L. Force; Smith Side Gun Club, J. A. Bennett 

 and W. R. Hobart; Forester Gun Club, Jacob Pent?.; Newar k Gun 

 Club, C. M. Heddcn and Jacob Pentz; Essex Gun Club, W. Have* 

 R. H. Brientnall and Dr. W. N. Pindell. The minutes of the last, 

 regular meeting, also of a special meeting were read and ap- 

 proved. Two new clubs were unanimously elected to member- 

 ship. The Bergen Gun Club, Mr. Ortb, Secretary, of Haekensack, 

 and the Riverside Gun Club. B. S. Paine President, of Red Bank* 

 Under the head of reports of committees. Mr. Hayes said there 

 were none to receive, except that of a commmittee' appointed to 

 embody the new shooting rules in constitution and hv-laws and 

 they were not ready to report. Mr. W. Fred Quimhv then moved 

 a reconsideration of the recent change in rules which compels the 

 gun to be held below the armpit until the bird is on the wing. At 

 ta« last special meeting the American Shooting Association" rules 

 were adopted with cer tain changes, one of which was as above; 

 motion seconded by Mr. Hobart. The chair questioned whether a 

 reconsideration was proper at this meeting when the representa- 

 tives were not the same as present at former meeting; he said no 

 notice bad been given that this question would be brought up and 

 that some who voted for the change were not present to uphold 

 that action. Mr. Quimbv replied that when the change was 

 made, no previous notice had been given, so the situations were 

 identical, and claimed that a motion to reconsider was always in 

 order. The chair then put the motion and it was carried with a 

 few dissenting votes. 



Mr. Pentz questioned whether, after having advertised to hold 

 the present tournament under certain rules, it was advisable to 

 change them now; and in looking over the by-laws the secretary 

 discovered a section reading " that any changes of shootirg rules 

 that may be made shall not apply to the present tournament." 

 This made Hie action in adopting rules at last meeting, which 

 were intended to govern this year's shoot, out of order, and Mr. 

 Pentz moved that as the alteration of Rule 10 and other s having 

 been a violation of the by-laws of the Association, the action be 

 rescinded and expunged from the minutes. Seconded and carried. 

 It was then said that the tournament would have robe shot under 

 the old rules of the Association, but on inquiry as to what those 

 rules were, no record of them could be found. A lengthy discus- 

 sion on rules ensued, and a motion to suspend Section 8 of the 

 Constitution so as to allow a change or adoption of new rules 

 was declared illegal by the chair. Mr. Quimby then appealed to 

 the Association, reminded them of a conversation which took 

 place when the Jersey City Heights Club was requested to give 

 the touruament— that they then claimed it would be impossible 

 to give a sucessful shoot under the old rules, which call for 21yds. 

 rise, plunge traps, use of one barrel only— that on the under- 

 standing that new rules would be adopted suitable to the present 

 style of shootins", they had gone ahead and incurred expenses in 

 preparing for the tournament, and wound up by say'ng that the 

 Association had no right to compel the use of the old rules. He 

 made a motion that the American Shooting Association rules be 

 adopted hy the New Jersey State Sportsmen's Association to gov- 

 ern all their contests. Motion seconded, but declared illegal 

 by the chair. An appeal was taken from this decision, and the 

 chair not sustained. Motion then put and carried. 



Under the head of new business Mr. Hobart desired some in- 

 formation about the expenses attendant on the recent movement 

 among certain clubs, which resulted in the legislation, legaliz- 

 ing pigeon shooting, said he thought the Association should in- 

 dorse this action, see that all claims for services were settled, 

 and moved that Mr. Quimby be allowed to draw on the Associa- 

 tion for a sum not to exceed $100 to help defray anv expenses 

 which might accrue from the efforts to pass said bill. Motion 

 seconded and carried. After some talk, as it seemed to be the 

 sense of the meeting that the Association shoukl uphold this 

 action which resulted in the passage of the law, and should be at 

 the head of all movements to sustain the law, prosecute offenders, 

 etc. Mr. Quimby moved that the Association accept all the books, 

 papers, etc., connected with the meeting held at the Astor House 

 in March, also the contributions then pledged by various clubs, 

 and use the same to pay any outstanding bills and the balance as 

 a fund to carry on future work. Seconded and carried. The 

 following officers were then elected for the coming year: Presi- 

 dent. Al Heritage, Jersey Cir.v Heights Gun Club; First Vice- 

 President, Seymour G. Smith, Middlesex Gun Club; Second Vice- 

 President, Frank B. Ilyer. Midway Gun Cluh; Recording Secre- 

 tary, Jacob Pentz, Newark Gun Club; Corresponding Secretary, 

 W. R. Hobart, South Side Gun Club; Treasurer, W, Fred Quimby. 



A vote of thanks was tendered to the retiring officers and the 

 meeting adjourned.
