We have received from the secretary of the Harrisburg, Pa., Shoot- 
ing Association the following communication in regard to the annual 
convention and tournament of the Pennsylvania State Sportsmen's 
Association: "The programme committee of the Harrisburg Shoot- 
ing Association has recommended an abrupt change in the pro- 
gramme for the annual tournament which it was at first thought ad- 
visable to present to the shooters of the State. The change of dates 
for holding the State shoot which appears in the column of Fixtures 
In FoBBST AKD Stbsam has been found necessary. The committee 
trusts that tbe change will prove aoceptable to the members of the 
State association." 
B. Leroy, of Campello, Mass., and Jay Snell, of Worcester, are 
booked to shoot a lOO blrd match on July 28, at the Worcester Sports- 
men's Club's grounds. Leroy's shooting ability is well known, but 
Snell's reputation^is largely locil; still his friends are counting on a 
close race, and some of them will be surprised if he does not finish in 
the lead.

North Texas Gun Club IjeasTue. 
Grkenvillk, Tex., July 13.— In June last at FarmersviUe severa 1 gun 
clubs met to h ave a friendly shoot for merchandise prizes and to or- 
ganize the shooters of nor th Texas. Seven clubs were in attendance, 
and an elegant shoot was enjoyed, as well as the hospitality of the 
members and their good ladies of the FarmersviUe Gun Club, who 
had provided every comfort man could desire. 
After the shooting contest was over, Mr. K. M. Moore called the 
shooters to order and stated the object of the meeting. It was de- 
cided to organize the shooters of north Texas. The following officers 
were then elected for one year: K. M. Moore, President, Farmers- 
viUe, Tex.; J. W. Russell, Vice-President, Banham, Tex.; Will B. Sar- 
gent, Secretary, Greenville, Tex.; John A. Pierce, Treasurer, Honey 
Grove, Tex. 
The organization was christened the North Texas Gun Club League. 
The Association is formed for the promotion of friendly intercourse 
and generous emulation among sportsmen, to aid in securing proper 
legislation for the protection of wild birds, fish and animals through- 
out the State of Texas during the season in which it is improper to 
pursue them, and for the rigorous enforcement of such laws. The 
initiation fee is $5 for clubs and 52 for an individual. The boundary 
line agreed upon as north Texas includes all territory north of the 
Texas & Pacific Railway from Texarkana to Longview; thence on and 
north of the International & Great Northern Railway to Palestine; 
thence on and north of the Cotton Belt from Tylerto Hillsboro; 
thence on a parallel with Hillsboro out west to the Rio Grande. 
The constitution and by-laws provide for monthly and annual shoots. 
The Dallas Olub, through WiU Allen and F, M. Faurote, offered as in- 
ducement to secure the July shoot $500 in merchandise and cash 
prizes, besides a $40 gold medal to the team of 5 men, which was ac- 
cepted, and July 3 and 4 were the days set for the shoot, at which 
time over 200 shooters assembled at the grounds near the fair ground, 
where the Dallas Olub, through Messrs. Allen and Glenn, had made 
every preparation for the entertainment of their guests. A large tent 
with chairs was provided with ice water, refreshments and lunch. 
Too much cannot be said in praise of Will AUen, the Dallas Olub and 
the citizens of that city for the manner in which they entertained and 
so smoothly conducted the shoot. Professional shooters were barred. 
Mr, Wallace Miller, of Austin, was present, but was barred as being 
an expert. He is one of the finest shots in the Union, and gave an ex- 
hibition of some clever shooting with a Winchester repeating shot- 
gun. Six bluerocks were thrown into the air at one time and he broke 
all before they reached the ground, hitting each one with a separate 
load,
