 meeting, which were adopted as read. 



Mr. ,lames Worden, secretary of the committee to confer with a 

 committee of the Legislature and formulate new laws for the protec- 

 tion of game and flsh, read a long i-eport of the work of 1 he committee. 

 Through the efforts of the committee a bill was passed in the Legisla- 

 ture and a game and flsh commission were appointed by the Governor. 

 Money was appropriated to prosecute violators of the game and flsh 

 laws. Mr. Wilson, member of the committee, made a long speech, 

 which was very favorably received, about what should be done by the 

 members of the State Association. Mr. Bickley, of Ephrata, also 

 spoke on the same subject. Mr. F. P. Foust, of Pottsville, who is a 

 member of an association that is purely a flsh and game association, 

 made a very interesting speech about tbe game birds that his associa- 

 tion had imported, especially the Mongohan pheasant, about how they 

 breed, the number of broods per year, etc. He also said that their 

 aPBOciation had killed twenty-six foSes in their neighborhood last 

 winter, and he thinks the law making a tax on sporting dogs should 

 be repealed. His speech was very interesting and well received, as he 

 certainly knew what he was talking about. 



Mr. G. Huehes, of WiUiamsport, gave some very good points on the 

 game laws, as did also Mr. J. H. Millspaugh, of the same place. Mr. 

 Bickley made a motion that the report of the committee be received 

 and the committee be discharged and a new committee of seven be 

 appointed to draft a new bill to be presented to the next Legislature. 

 Mr. Foust took exception to the motion and thought the old commit- 

 tee should be kept on so as to have a chance to flnish the work they 

 had begun. Mr. Fables also took exception to Mr. Bickley's motion 

 and said that he also believed in a uniform game law, and moved that 

 the committee be continued, which motion was carried. 



Harry Thurman nominated Allentown for the next tournament, to 

 be under the auspices of the John F. Weiler Gun Club. Mr. Fieles 

 nominated Altoona, under the auspices of the Altoona Rod and Gun 

 Club. Mr. Wilson gave his views why the next tournament should be 

 held in the western part of the State, smd they were very good. Mr. 

 Gillott spoke in favor of Allentown, giving some very good reasons 

 why it should go there. Mr. Shaner spoke in favor of having the next 

 ahoot in the west and at Altoona especially, which place he thought 

 would be convenient for every one in the State. A vote resulted for 

 Altoona 16 and for Allentown 6; but before it was recorded H. Thur- 

 man moved that the vote be made unanimous in favor of Altoona, 

 which motion was seconded by Mr. Gillott, of Allentown, and was car- 

 ried unanimously. 



Mr. H. F. Worden presented the resignation of J. H. Worden as 

 secretary of the association, saying he had vevy urgent reasons for 

 presenting it. Although very loth to lose so valuable a secretary, at 

 the request of Mr. J. H. Worden, it was accepted. Mr. Jas. M^olsten- 

 croft, the treasurer, made the following report: Balance in treasury 

 at last meeting §180.65. Received during the vear S84. Paid out 

 35142.88, leaving a balance of $121.77. New members as follows were 

 elected: Wyandotte G. C, South Bethlehem; Mahanoy G. C, In- 

 dependent G. C, Philadelphia cJas. Wolstencroft); Wilkesbarre G. C. 

 (E. C. Kniskern), Altoona R. and G. C. ( W. G. Clark"), Heron Hill G.C., 

 Pittsburgh, and Sunbury Q. C. (G. E. Rohrbach). 



Mr. .John Millspaugh in a neat speech nominated N; A. Hughes for 

 president: H. Thurman nominated J. II. Worden for vice-president; J. 

 H, Worden nominated G. Wilson for vice-president. Mr. Wilson in a 

 very nice speech complimentary to our retiring secretary said be 

 would rather not oppose him, and declined the nomination, but ac- 

 cording to the rules of the association it had to go to a vote. Mr. Wil- 

 son nominated Jas. Wolstencroft for treasurer. J. Worden nominated 

 Ed. Banks for secretary, and Elmer Shaner nominated Prof. Z. G. 

 Zeth for corresponding secretary, Mr. Shaner moved and Mr. Fieles 

 seconded the motion that the old directors be re-elected as follows: 

 Harry Thurman, Germantown; H. C. W. Matz, Reading; Elmer E. 

 Shaner, Pittsburgh; C. C. Matten, Pottsville; J. H. Millspaugh, Will- 

 iamsport; W. H. Wolstencrof, Frankfort, The secretary was in- 

 structed to cast the ballot where there was no opposition. A vote 

 being taken for vice-president resulted as follows: J. H. Worden 11 

 votes, G. Wilson 8. Mr. Wilson desired that the election of Mr Wor- 

 den be made unanimous, which was done. After some talk for the 

 good of the association we adjourned to meet in Altoona in 1894. 

 The Tliird Day 



The first day for live bu'ds and the third day of the tournament was 

 all one could wish in the weather, and as for shooters, the fen' that 

 shot targets only and went bome last night were outnumbered by 

 those that only shoot pigeons and they came in full force to-day. 

 Amcmg the first to arrive were J. F. Kleinz and Robert Welsh of Phila- 

 delphia. 



Kleinz is one of the oldest pigeon shooters in the State and for a 

 long time has been known as the champion of Pennsylvania, and to- 

 day demonstrated that he had not forgotten how to hold a gun. 

 although he has been shooting very httle of late years. 



Robert Welsh (Armstrong) is one of the best five bird shots in the 

 country and is known all over the country as such by some excellent 

 scores made lately on some of the best birds that could be procured. 

 His second barrel", which he uses on most birds, whether necessary or 

 nor. is his great hold, and is almost always pointed right, 



John Rothaker of Philadelphia is also a good Uve bird shooter and 

 generally holds his end up at targets when he shoots them. He is one 

 of the good- hearted German brewers of Philadelphia, a member of the 

 R< thaker Brewing Co., and superintendent of their works, 



J, O.Denny of Pittsburg is one of the whole-souled fellows from 

 that Smoky City that it does one good to meet; always smiling, he 

 puts one in a good humor just to look at his pleasant face. 



Isaac C. Elhoti of Wilmington, Del., known as one of the best Uve 

 hard shots of chat Uttle State, came out to-day to have a crack at some 

 o£ the sweeps. 



E. H. McWharter (Mack) of Pittsburgh, also a live hu-d shooter, 

 came in to-day and shot in everything. 



Mr. McMillan, of Mahanoy City, came right here from the World's 

 Fair, which he left a few days" earlier than he had intended so as to 

 have a crack at the championship badge, as he says he likes to shoot in 

 this match every year, if in nothing else. He is one of the largest 

 men in the shooting fraternity, standing about 6ft. 2in. in height and 

 weighs about SOOlbs. He is a Scotchman by descent and one whom any 

 one may be proud to call his friend. His shooting name is "Macbeth." 

 J. Honesicker and daughter Ray ("Little Hawk-Eye"), of Gloucester, 

 N. J., are also taking in the tournament. 



John Millspaugh, the first president of the Pennsylvania State 

 Shooting Association, and president of the WiJliamsport Rifle and 

 Gun Club, came down accompanied by F. P. Abercrombie, also one of 

 the moving spirits and leaders of the shooting circle of Wilhamsport. 

 Walter Shooter, the genial boniface of the City Hotel at Wilhamsport, 

 which same hotel was headquarters of the shooters at the last Will- 

 iamsport tournament, and along with him is B. P. Babcock, of the 

 same place. 



The birds were a good lot of flyers, and some were corkers, as Harry 

 Thurman said the flrst one he got in shooting off the ties for the 

 championship badge, left trap No. 5 so quickly that it made the hair 

 on his head stand on end, but it never moved his hat. 



On arriving on the grounds to-day we found the target traps all 

 away and two sets of live bird traps in position, with the 50yds. bound- 

 ary marked with a string and flags, in fact everything in readiness to 

 start the shooting. 



Manager Elmer E. Shaner certainly is a hustler and deserves a great 

 deal of credit for the way he has rtm the tournament, not a complaint 

 anywhere. 



The main attraction to-day was, of course, the State event which 

 had thirty-one entries. Harry Thurman was the flrst one to HU his 

 fifteen birds, followed by A. H. King, of Pittsburg, and next in line 

 came J. H. Worden, then Jas. Wolstencroft. J. F. Kleinz and John 

 Rothaker in the order named as each one finished his score, when he 

 received a good round of applause and lots of congratulations from 

 his friends. 



This event was shot off on one set of traps, while sweepstake events 

 were being shot on the other set. In the shoot-off of the ties, which 

 was at five birds, according to the association rules, H. Thurman, 

 A. H. Kleinz and J. Rothaker missed their first birds, J. Rothaker 

 also missed his second, J. Worden his third, and J. Wolstencroft his 

 fourth, which dropped hardly a foot over the boundary, and this left 

 five that killed four each still. In shooting the second round of ties, 

 Rothaker being out. King miss.d his eighth, Thurman his tenth, this 

 putting these two out and left Worden, Wolstencroft and Kleinz, wno 

 each killed five straight to fight another roimd, on which they each 

 killed five straight again, but on the next round Worden dropped 

 his flrst and Wolstencroft his last bird, Kleinz killing straight and 

 securing the badge of champion of the .State for the coming year. 



It was found that there would not be enough daylight to flnish the 

 programme, so No. 4 was cut, and a flve dollar miss-and-out took its 

 place. Over 1,600 birds were used to-day. The scores for the day are: 



For the individual championship of Pennsylvania at live birds. Prize, 

 beautiful diamond badge valued at S250, presented by the citizens of 

 Wilhamsport. To be contested for annually under the following con- 

 ditions: Each contestant shaU be a bona fide member of a club or

The Fourth Day 



The fourth and last day of the shoot opened with a clear sky and 

 the wind blowing almost a gale from the northwest, which made' some 

 very hai'd shooting, a great many birds being lost just out of bounds. 



The main event to-day was the three-men team race for the L. C. 



Smith trophy, for which six teams entered, each man to shoot at 15 

 birds, or 45 birds per team, entrance $25 per team.

 missing one bfrd. 



After the programme was finished three miss-and-outs were shot, 

 which finished the annual State shoot for the year 1893, and with con-

Bogardus— "Unknown" Match Postponed. 



Chicaoo, 111., Sept. 30.— Heavy ram yesterday and to-day caused the 

 postponement of the lauch exploited match between Capt. A. H. 

 Bogardus and an unknown, whicu was to have been shot at the South 

 Side Baseball Parle tii-dav. The match wiU be shot later, probably 

 within two w^ieks, pussiblj- on tbe Monday foUowing John Watson's 

 World's tournament, and possiiJy not untU the Saturday after, much 

 depending on the date when these grounds can be again obtained. 

 To-day I met Captain Bogardus just as he and John Watson were 

 leaving the grounds, at 1:45, the birds having then been sent back to 

 the coops. . 



"I suppose you don't mind telling now who the 'unkaowa' is, 6si 

 you. Captain?"! asked him. 



"No," said he, "not now. I haven't known it very long myself. His 

 name is HaU, and he comes from down near the Kentucky Une in 

 Illinois. He's a strapping big young fellow, very pleasant, and he 

 may be able to shoot a bit for aU I know. 1 hope so.'*^ 



"He can't have much of a trap record." 



"No," rephed the Captain, "he claims that he never shot at the traps 

 in his life until he tried a little practice on this narrow boundary race, 

 the same conditions as Rexroat and I shot our matches under. He 

 says he kiUed twenty-seven straight at this game, which is good. He 

 is a good field shot, they say. His success in the field led nim to ask 

 Frank Butler to arrange this match with me, as you know he did." 



"There is some difl:'erence between the two styles of shootmg,"! 

 suggested. 



"Yes," said the old veteran, "there is, of course, but you can't tell. 

 The first time I ever went to the trap I kUled 46 out of 50. I used to 

 think I could kiU any bird that got up within 21yds. of me, no matter 

 where it went. My field shooting was my flrst driU." 



"It doesn't happen that way very often," said John Watson. 

 "Usually the old field shot has to learn over again at the traps." 



"We'U see," said the Captain, good-humoredly, E. HouGh. 



Do'vrn Town Gun Club. 



FotTRTEKN members of the Down Town Gun Club were present at the 

 opening shoot of the season held at Dexter Park on Friday, Sept. 29.
