An Important Decision in the U. S. Circuit Court of 

 Interest to Trap Shooters .and Dealers in Targets <vnd 

 Traps.— The suit of the Peoria Target Company vs the Cleveland 

 Target Company, which has been pending in the U. S. Court at 

 Cleveland, O., for over two years, has just been decided by Judge 

 Ricks m our favor. The Cleveland Target Co. is perpetually en- 

 joined from mali-inu, geWtfmg, using or giving away any tran or part 

 thereof, having any kind of a target clamp or carrier pivoted or 

 adapted to he pivoted to the main arm of the trap. The decision of 

 the Court is broad and sweeping^ and there can be no mistake as 

 to its meaning. All the claims of the patent in suit on which in- 

 fringement was claimed are held valid and infringed bv the 

 Cleveland larget Oo.'s traps. We take this method of notifying 

 all jobbers and dealers and the trade generally that no trap hav- 

 ing a pivoted target carrier or holder other than the Peoria black- 

 bird trap can be manufactured, sold or used without our consent 

 as all such traps will infringe our patent. We will protect our 

 right to the exclusive use of a pivoted carrier bv suit in the U S 

 Circuit Courts against any and all persons using or dealing in 

 infringing goods. We have already instructed ou» attorneys 

 Messrs. Poole & Brown, Chicago, to bring suit against the Key- 

 stone Manufacturing Co., the Standard Target Co. and Cruttert- 

 den & Card. Also Jenney & Graham, Chicago, agents for Keystone 

 Manufacturing Co., and Thorson & Cassada, Chicago, agents 

 for Standard Target Co. Other suits will follow. We mean 

 fight and say to all "Hands off." All dealers, shooting clubs and 

 others using or handling pivoted carrier traps, who continue to 

 deal m or use said infringing traps, do so at their own risk as 

 they are liable equally with the manufacturer. The full text of 

 the opinion of the Court and the decree entered in this suit will 

 be mailed at once to any desiring same on application to the 

 Peoria Target Co., and will be sent to the trade as soon as possible

THE EASTERN DIVISION MEET. 



JUST 80 men were registered at the spring meet of the FI astern 

 Division, A. C. A„ held at Lake Mascuppic. M iv 311 and 31 

 and June 1. Thirteen canoe and boat clubs were represented bv 

 those who registered; 48 wore from Lowell clubs and 43 from other 

 places in New Knerland. The camp site was a grovo of old-growth 

 pine^ on the western shore of the lake. Twenty-four tents were 

 pitched in a semi-circle near the water side and parched upon 

 little knolls to the rear of the latter. About 4 miles <u a tan* is the 

 city of Lowell, tte residence of Dr. J. A. Gnge, the vict-commo- 

 dose, and R, F. Brazer. the purser. Bv them were the arrange- 

 ments principnlly made, including some of the princip.il features 

 the free transportation of canoes and duffle from freight depots' 

 to camp and back to depots. The water Is nearly rectangular in 

 shape, slightly broadened at the southern end. At the south end 

 of tbe lake therefore, the base of the triangular cnur.se was laid 

 out. givmff a long reach up in front of the camp, as it happened 

 in the sailing races, the winds being westerly. A very satisfactory 

 mess was provided at $1 per day hy the Lowell & Dracnt Street 

 Bad way a< their pavilion on the shore of the lake half a mile to 

 the northeast of the camp. The compmv owned the camp ground 

 gave it free, provided gratuitously platform cars for the trans- 

 portation of boats and duffle, and in many other ways did every- 

 thing in their power to help the meet alontr. While every one on 

 the road, from president to the humblest emnloyee, whs animated 

 by a desire to promote the success of the. project, tbe impulse was 

 given by Mr. Percy Parker, the treasurer of the company,, who is 

 a member of the Vesper Boat Club, and himself thoroughly en 

 rapport with the sport, 



Thursday night, the 2Uth, most of the Lowell men were in camp 

 Four Lynn boats h d arrived on the ground, Knapp-'s from 

 Springfield whs reported, Putnam from Wbr.-e ter was heard 

 from as en route, Winchester boats were in the freight houses nnd 

 Forbush's new Jovner boat was in-Lowell. ready for transporta- 

 tion, Friday moruing the A. C. A fl ig and national ensign were 

 runup. The camp was open. Men arrived on everv train and 

 were quickly landed at the camp ground. F. T. Walsh of Lowell 

 was chairman of the regatta committee. His colleagues were 

 Cartwrigbt of the Puritans, Boston, and Armstrong of Tho South 

 Boston Club, who took the place of Craddock, who was unable to 

 serve. 



Their duties were not expected to be arduous until Saturday 

 but a good wind tempted tbe committee to call the combined' 

 sailing and paddling race. The course was 3 miles. The starters 

 were J. B. Center and J. H. Campbell, of the Sagamore C C of 

 Lynn; Howard Gray, Ve<mer B. C, Lowell; Emil C. Knappe 

 Springfield C. C, Sprinefield. The work cut out was to p»ddle 

 and sail alternate legs of a t rr-mgutar course, half a mile to a leg 

 The time was: Gray 47t^m., Knappe 53m.. Oampbell 56nf. The 

 other race of the day, called at 5:45 o'clock, was for paddling in 

 fours. The crews were Richards. Apolinnio, Cartwright and 

 Murphy, representing tho Winchester and Puritan clubs* Brazer 

 Perkins, Builer and Gray, the Vesper Club; Putnam, Lanee, Mel- 

 calf and Knappe, the. Worce^ters. The Puritan-Winchester crew 

 won in a splendid effort, paddling a heavy 10ft. cano« beJon"ing 

 in the Vesper Club, while their opponeu ts were, in 1 (If I , Canadian 

 and canvas canoes respectively. Distance % mile. Time 3J4m 



Saturday's racing began at 10:30 o'clock with the tandem single- 

 blade paddling race. It was won bv Brazer and Perkins of the 

 Ve«per Club in 4m. 47s. Appolonio. of Winchester, and Murphy 

 of Boston, were second in 4m. 57-». Knappe and Metcalf, of Spring- 

 field fell out. The tandem double-blade was the hardest struggle 

 of the dav, being won by a crew composed of Cartwright, of 

 Boston, and Putnam, of Worcester. Brazer and Perkins, of Bos- 

 ton, were second, and Knappe and Metcalf, of Springfield, third 

 The winning time was 4m. 38s. The distance in both paddling 

 races was one-half mile straightaway. 



The great event of the day was the three-mile unlimited sailing 

 race, called at 11 o'clock, at which a wholesail breeze was blowing 

 The start, by the rules, should have been to windward, but it, was 

 impracticable by reason of the direction of the wind and the 

 shape of the lake. The canoes, therefore, for the first leg, went off 

 on a long starboard tack. Wasp being the first across the line- the 

 Alcna M. lapped her stern, and the Owl was a close third The 

 Wasp led the fleet on the first leg; the Owl, by sum rior pointing 

 and speed on the wind, taking second place, and Blanche passing 

 Alena M. before the first buoy was reached. The Wa=p hpld the 

 lead on the second leg easily, A strong puff knocked down tho 

 Owl on completing the first half-mile leg on thesecond round but 

 though greitly handicapped by her water-logged condition, she 

 maintained her second place over the second miie. The V crept 

 into third place, while the Blanche was carried a quarter ora 

 mile to If eward on tbe first hg of the third round by the shifting 

 of the wind. Three men were knocked down "ii the Third round 

 and others dropped out until only the Wasp, Owl. V, Agawam and 

 Wenuchus were left in tbe race in the order named. The Wasp 

 finished half a mile ahead of the next best boat. The Owl and V 

 had a close brush on the second leg, the former leading. She was 

 defeated in her struggle for second place, however, by succum bing 

 to a sudden blow within a length of the finish line'. The order- 



owned by Forbush, of the Puritans of Boston, started with the 

 unlimited canoes in the novice race, and finished the course in his 

 own time, having no opponent, and was given the prize. The un- 

 limited prize was a large cup, given by the association, and the 

 novice nrize a silver cup. This closed the morning's work. 



At 3:30 o'clock the fun recommenced. The visitors' race was 

 first called. This was twice around the triangle, the course mak-

 morning. It was a lively race, Knappe and Whitteu being the 

 only ones to finish. The others were knocked down by puffs and 

 put out of the contest at various points on the course. Knappe

 finally finished. The prize, an elegant cup, 20in. high, given by

 good work.

 so closely, both men crossing the line apparently together, that 

 Putnam entered a protest against a decision that gave the race to 

 Perkins. A decision was subsequently rendered in favor of Perkins 

 upon competent testimony,
