Meantime tlie open class at the target score were doing their 
best to break all the remaining targets in the world, with more or 
less success. There Was never so large a showing at the open 
target shoot at any tournament of the Illinois State shoot, some 
eighty-seven .different shooters talcinR part. It is likely that 100 
different shooter-s are here and ready to shoot at either live birds 
or targets, and we may see yet other recoi-4s brojtetl before the

The Convention, 
The annual convention, postponed from Tuesday night, as earlier 
mentioned, was called at 4:15 in the afternoon of Wednesday. It 
was, as a convention, irregular, and strictly considered, was in all 
likelihood invalid. There was no roll-call of delegates. There 
Were no credentials submitted, and the constitution and by-laws 
v/ere pretty much ignored. There were no records of the Associa- 
tion at hand. _ No minutes were read, and the proceedings were 
short of the importance and dignity of earlier years, which yet 
belong to the annual meeting of this Association. " 
Perhaps some of the above facts were due to the unfortunate 
hour selected for the convention. As Secretary Leffingwell re- 
marked, there is nothing harder to handle than a crowd of 
•shooters, and the shooters were here scattered all over the grounds 
and unwilling to stop for the convention. 
The meeting was called in the dining hall. President Rice in the 
chair, and Secretary Leffingwell at the table. Some efforts were 
made to get in representatives from the shooters on the ground, 
but only a couple of dozen men were present. No roll-call of clubs 
was asked for at the beginning of the meeting, and no inquiry 
made as to credentials or the personnel of the delegation. Presi- 
dent Rice referred to the change in date of the convention, stating 
that the "bad weather" had made it seem advisable to set the date 
forward, as many of the shooters were tired, etc. The president's 
address was then read as follows: 
"Gentlemen and Fellow Sportsmen: Now nearly twelve months 
since you at the annual convention of the Illinois State Sports- 
men's Association, held at Peoria, 111., did me the honor to 
place in rny hands the presidency of your Association. Deeply 
sensible of the honor thus extended me, and appreciating all aid 
of whatsoever nature accorded me in the discharge of my duties, I 
beg at this_ time to return most heartfelt thanks. 
A resume of a year's work of the nature and character assigned 
to me is apt to contain many discouraging and disheartening 
features, and since we to-night look forward to the placing of this 
same work upon the shoulders of another, and are at the moment- 
seeking for him who shall prove willing to take up the white man's 
burden, I will, with your permission, pass silently by the dis- 
couraging features referred to. ' 
"It is pleasant to look forward, because we may do so with' 
hope and enthusiasm. Reform should be our watchword. Chi- 
cago's emblem, 'I Will,' is good enough, and with it graven 
upon our shield, we may enter the fray each and every year con- 
fident of success. 
"As you are all well awere, in my work for this Association I have 
been handicapped by the innumerable duties falling to the lot 
of 'the hired man.' I have found it impossible to devote the 
time actually due the affairs of the Association, and yet I trust 
that it shall transpire upon final summing up that considerable 
work has been accomplished in the interests of this Association 
and in support of objects fostered under its protecting wing. 
"It is not my purpose at this time to make an extended or de- 
tailed report, nor can I recapitulate the past year's work. Later, 
at a proper time and in a pi-oper manner, the officers of this As- 
sociation will make public their financial statement, and in other 
respects properly acquit themselves. 
"Concluding, it is my earnest wish to express in warmest pos- 
sible terms my appreciation of the many kind words and deeds 
of the sportsmen of Illinois, who united in doing me honor one 
year ago, and as I now lay aside the official ermine and step down 
and out of the presidential chair, I beg to extend to you each and 
all the right hand of fellowship and to express the hope that we" 
may work together shoulder to shoulder in the future, as we 
have done in the days that are past." 
Taking up the order of business, the president stated there could 
be no reading of the minutes, as the secretarj* explained that 
he had never received any books or any report from the retiring 
secretary, the only thing turned over being a few dollars in 
currency. There was, therefore, no reading of the minutes, no 
report from the secretary-treasurer. It was promised that reports 
of officers would be made later, but just where or to whom does 
not appear. Under the head of reports of committees, there was 
nothing submitted. Under the head of unfinished business there 
was nothing offered. Within a few minutes the order of new 
business Avas called and the place for holding the next shoot was' 
brought into question. Over this there was no delay, and ap- 
parently but one opinion. Mr. T. A. Marshall, of Keithsburg, 
introduced Capt. A. C. Smith, of Springfield. Mr. Marshall stated 
that the Illinois Gun Club, which Capt, Smith represented, had 
184 members and splendid grounds. Mr. • Marshall moved thaf 
Springfield be the next place of meeting. This was carried without' 
dissent. Under election of officers Mr. Marshall moved that the 
Hon. Jas. R. B. Van Cleave, of the Illinois Gun Club, Springfield, ' 
111., be the next president. Mr, Van Cleave was elected by ac- 
clamation. .Similarly Mr. Chas. T. Stickle, of the Illinois Gun 
Club, was chosen secretary-treasurer. Mr. H. Levi, of Garden 
City Gun Club, moved that Mr. E. S. Rice be elected first vice- 
jiresident. _Mr. Edward Glance, of Moline, moved that Mr. C. R. 
StevenSj of Moline, be elected first vice-president. Mr. Nance 
later withdrevy the name of Mr. Stevens for first vice.-president> 
and the elections were made by acclamation of Mr. E. S. Rice, 
of Chicago, first vice-president; Mr. C. R. .Stevens, of Moline, 
second vice-president. Nothing^ was said about a law committee, 
and there was not a word mentioned on the subject of game pro-

tection or protective legislation. 
A motion was' made to adjourn, but some of the newspaper 
men suggested that it might be well to have a call for the dele- 
gates present at the meeting in order to make matters seem more 
regular. No copy of the constitution and by-laws was at hand. 
The president stated that the constitution and by-laws were anti- 
quated and needed revision. Mr. Levi said he thought that five 
clubs made a quorum: another gentleman suggested that it was 
.generally understood that a quorum existed imless. .s.om.e. one ob- 
jected; others thought that more men could be found athong the 
shooters on the ground. It was suggested that a- rolL-call -of those 
present might bring out the number of clubs represented. 
A list of clubs -was finally found frpm records showing how many 
had qualified as members of the Association, thirty-six in «lC
