Missouri State Shoot. 



Lexington, Mo,. Aug. 13. -The Missouri State Amateur Asso- 

 ciation hpld its second annual tournament at Lexington, Mo.. 

 Aug. 10. 11 and 12, which proved to be the most pleasant and suc- 

 cessful shoot ever held in the State. The fournament was under 

 the management of the Lexington Gun Club, and much of th" 

 success of this association is due to the Lexington Club. Long 

 since the old Missouri State A.ssociatioa wag taken in hand hv 

 all the professional shooters of the United States, and is run and 

 managed so entirely for this class of shooters that the member- 

 ship of this association has dwindled from 115 olnbs to fl clubs, 

 there being no chance for the younger shooters to do anything but 

 put their money into the professionals' pockets, and they nave 

 become tired of this. The old association now ."Stands with an 

 enrollment of 5 clubs from Kansas City, one from St. .Joseph, one 

 from Lexington, one from St. Louis and one from JeflEerson City. 

 The Lexington Club last year feeling it was time something be 

 done for the amusement of the amateur shooters of the State, 

 issued a call for a meeting of tbe amateurs throughout the State 

 to be held in Lfxineton in the month of August for the puroose 

 of forming an assoomlion exclusively for the amateur shootere. 

 The call v as responded to by 2.3 clubs with indorsements of clubs 

 from all over the State in the movement. And at the second 

 annual meeting just held about 10 additional clubs were enrolled. 

 Constitution and by-laws were adopted protecting the amateur 

 shooters by barring all professionals and A class shooters. 



This association under the protection for the amateur shooters, 

 as provided for in its constitution and by-laws, is bouad to grow 

 more popular each year; the attendance during tliis tournanient 

 was over 100, and the Lexington Club had spared no expense to 

 make it the grandest aifair e^er held in tlie State, together with 

 placing on their programme $300 in added purses. The weather 

 wa« fine, the grounds the best in the State. There were two sets 

 of live bird traps constantly in u«e, the live bird traps were 

 operated with the W. T. Bast non electric nuli, and one set of 

 bluerocks with the Paul North electric pull. The Best and North 

 pulls were the crowning success of the tournament, consuming 

 5,500 live birds and 20.000 bluerocks. Paris, Missouri, was de- 

 cided upon as the plane of next meeting, and judglnEr from all 

 present appearances the opxt tournament of this association will 

 be even more suc-essful than this has been. 



C. L . Blanton, President; J. W. Barre, Vice-President; G. W. 

 Haden, Secretary and Treasurer; R.. E. Seer, Montgomery Oitr; 

 E. Chanslor, Lexington; J. W. Wright, Warsaw, were chosen 

 officers and board of managers for the ensuing year. This 

 closed the second tournament of the Missouri State Amateur As- 

 sociation, which, with its popularity, is bound to become the 

 association of tbe State of Missouri.
