 Association are requested to send complete lists of their delegates 

 to R, .T. Pa rsh all. Secretary, Lyons, N. Y., as soon as perfected. 

 The annual meeting of the Association will be held i n t he parlors 

 (f the Lyons Club, Jan. 9, 1890, at 8 P. M. A full attendance of 

 delegates is requested. Reduced fares on railroads have been 

 arranged, for particulars of which address the undersigned. 



Two sets of traps will be used in the regular sweepstakes shoot- 

 ing. Open to all. One set, will be run American Association 

 rules, three traps: the other set will be run under the American 

 Association rules using live traps, rapid firing system. Kingbird 

 targets will be used in all contests. The management regard it 

 unnecessary to guarantee contests, as in any event the surplus 

 would go to the contestants. The large attendance assured makes 

 this entirely unnecessary. In addition to the regular sweepstake 

 contests there will be a set of traps for amateurs, to be under 

 their direction and for their exclusive use. The Club grounds 

 will be open Monday, June 9, at 12 M. for practice shooting. 



Lyons is situated midway between Rochester and Syracuse, and 

 is considered the most important transfer line of the New iork 

 Central & Hudson River Railroad. The hotel accommodations 

 are ample for any crowd that may be present. The rates will be 

 made satisfactory to all. The grounds of the Spencer Club are 

 large and pleasantly located, being within the corporate limits of 

 the village and easy of access. Carriages will be run from the 

 hotels at regular intervals each day during the week. Upon the 

 grounds a large tent will be erected for the comfort and pleasure 

 of sportsmen. All sportsmen are invited to take part in the 

 sweepstakes, which promise to be an interesting feature of the 

 meeting. This programme will exceed anything that has been 

 presented in several years, and the success of the coming conven- 

 t ! on is now assured. W. S. Gavitt, See'y-Treas.
