New York State Shoot. 
The forty-second anaual convention of the New York State As- 
sociation for the Protection of Fish and Game was held at Utica, 
N. Y., under the auspices of the Oneida County Sportsmen's As- 
sociation. The four days of the tournament were June 5 to 8, in- 
clusive, though June 4 was devoted to practice events on the 
grounds of the Association, seven 15-target events being shot. The 
main event of the day, however, was the annual convention. Keen 
interest was manifested in it, and there was a good attendance of 
delegates. It was held in Bagg's Hotel, and the president, Mr. 
Henry L. Gates, presided. The roll call was responded to as

The chairman, in behalf of the Oneida Sportsmen's Association, 
welcomed the delegates and sportsmen to Utica and assured them 
of the Association's purpose to give them a pleasant time and 
trusted that it also would be profitable. In substance he set forth 
that the members of the Association, as with members of every 
other association which might thereafter secure the .State shoot, 
were by a certain class suspected of attempting to hold somebody 
up; that the Oneida County Sportsmen's Association were not at- 
tempting to hold any one up, and no other association had ever 
attempted anjrthing of the kind; that it was apparent that there was 
no money in it for himself or for his associates, situated as they 
are; that the money was made by some one in the gun and am- 
munition business in some way or other; that mttch credit was 
due the people of Utica, who stood by the promoters of the shoot, 
but two persons having declined to donate prizes, the latter ranging 
in value from -$3 to $100, special mention of credit being given by 
him in respect to the Hunter Arms Co., D. M. Lefever, of the 
Lefever Arms Co.; the Syracuse Arms Co., the Savage Arms Co. 
and Parker Brothers, and to these he expressed thanks in bebalf 
of the Oneida Association. 
Judge Fergueson, of the New Utrechts, recounted that it was 
now some nineteen vears since the last convention was held in the 
vicinity of New York; that at least one-third of the shooters at the 
convention live in the vicinity of New York; that quite a number 
of them have become shooters in the interim, and that if the next 
convention was held in New York it would interest all these and be 
a great benefit to the Association, and he moved that the next 
State convention be held in Greater New York under the auspices 
of the New Utrecht Gun Club, promising that the club would give 
at least $750 added money and a big list of merchandise prizes. 
Mr. L. Schortemeier in substance stated that he had intended to 
apply for the shoot in behalf of the New York County Club, but 
knowing that the New Utrecht Club would do all it promised he 
seconded the motion of Judge Fergueson. The motion was also 
seconded by Mr. H. D. Kirkover, of the Audubon Gun Club, and 
it was unanitnously carried. The next convention, therefore, will 
be held at Interstate Park, under the auspices of the New Utrecht 
Gun Club. , , 
Mr. L. H. Schortemeier, in the matter of membership of clubs 
which shot for the Dean Richmond trophy, referred to the con- 
dition which required that the members of a club team must all 
reside in the same county, asked for a ruling by the chair as to 
members from Greater New York, which was in iive counties, and 
the ruling bv Mr. Gates was in substance as follows: "That under 
the conditiotis the members of any team contesting f_or the Dean 
Richmond trophy must reside in the same county; that Greater New 
York covered a part of six counties, and that no team from Greater 
New York would be allowed to compete this year unless the As- 
sociation should change the conditions; that this also applied to 
the State championship at targets; that personally, however, he was 
in favor of treating Greater New York as a county of the State. 
Mr. Walter F. Sykes, of the New Utrecht Gtm Club, in substance 
said that he believed that under the constitution any change made 
in the rules and regulations must be submitted at a previous 
meeting. It was his club's intention to submit such a proposition 
tliis year, but there was no one to whom it could be presented; 
that it is somewhat unfair that all the members of a team should 
be compelled to reside in one county; that most of_ us reside in 
one county and do business in another; that it is difficult, there- 
fore, to select delegates to State conventions.; that he hoped next 
veai would result in a large attendance, not only there, but 
wherever held in other parts of the State later: that he asked 
unanimous consent that clubs from Greater New York be allowed 
to send representatives without regard to territorial limits to 
compete for the Dean Richmond trophy and for the Mate 
championship at targets; that for such purposes Greater New, 
Yory be considered as one county. ; 
After some discussion pro and con a motion was made and 
unanimously carried which considered Greater New York as one 
county in respect to the selection of club teams for the Dean 
Richmond trophy and State championship contests. . 
Mr. Gates then explained that on the following morning the 
members in the sweepstake events would be arbitrarily classified 
as amateurs and experts, and that there would be no appeal from it- 
After that they classified themselves as they made above or belovv 
85. The seven State experts were: Capt. John L. Brewer, Edward 
Banks, of New York; E. D. Fulford, of Utica; Harvey McMurchy 
of Syracuse; Col. A. G. Courtney, of Syracuse; Simeon Glover, of 
Rochester, and Capt. B. A. Bartlett, of Lakeside; that they would 
have to go into second place at least to secure any money m a 
State event; that this did not apply to meixhandise events, Nps. o 
and 6. No. 3 will be without handicap, and m No. 6 a handicap; 
that if there were 25 straight, they must break 24; that they must 
get first or second or they get nothing; that the New York trophy 
will go to the shooter making the highest average score in all 
the events in the first three days" programme for which tie is 
eligible under the conditions heretofore announced. 
Mr. Banks thought the New York cup was given to be open to 
only State events; that it ought to go to the shooter making the 
highest average in State events. , , , ... 
Mr. Schortemeier said that when this cup was given it was 
understood that not less than 100 targets be shot at daily; that 
in State events there were not 100 targets a day, and he moved 
that it be shot for in State events only. 
Mr Banks seconded the motoon that it be confined to Slate 
events to consist of the first 175 birds in events 1 to 6, inclusive; 
that the score each man makes in the 50 handicap be taken as made 
without reference to his handicap; and the motion was carried. 
On motion of Mr. Gates it was carrie4 that on e^ch day of the 
shoots hereafter there will, be two events open to JMew York 
State shooters only. " ^ ,^ _ , ^, a- , ,,

^^The'^Vp^ather on the whole was favoiable for good scores, and 
eood score<: were made; in fact, it was 8 competition of cxtraordt- 
liarv displays of skill and high-grade performance. On the other 
band the good shooting of so many contestants resulted m numer- 
ous ties narticularly in first, .second and third places, thereby 
splitting 'up the money so fine that the more skillful the shooter the 
less he won. This was further intensified by the large number 
of moneys eight in the State events and five in the open sweeps. 
As these were I.') and 20 target events, short races as a. whole, 
nearly every one was in the money. As a case in point: Jack 
Vanning broke 154 out o£ 155 shot at on Thaursday. and drew bad; 
^12 85 from an entrance of $18. Crosby shooting marvelously well, 
and several others of great skill, did not draw their entrance back. 
Y^ipre were many ivhf) spoke spprovirigly of yiP Rose systppi 
who were indifferent concerning it heretofore. There was real 
discontent, however, over the charge of 3 cents for targets, many 
shooters maintaining that it was without justification, considering 
the amounts of added moneys and latter day tournament manage- 
ment, and that it was all a policy of "make"; on the other hand, 
the managers of the club strenuously maintained that they would 
come out about even financially. There is no doubt but what the 
high price of targets seriously curtailed the success of the shoot, 
many shooters quitting earlier than they otherwise would, or 
shooting much less. The office force, it was complained, was not 
numerous enough to handle the large mass of detail consequent 
to running three sets of traps, and there were delays in figuring 
out winnings and averages. As many shooters trust to the win- 
nings of one day to pay entries for the next, a delay of a few hours 
may impair a shooter's cheerfulness and powers of continuance. 
As to class shooting, when it comes to a point that shooters can- 
not make more by breaking all than they can by breaking less, 
many will drop for place. It cannot be prevented. The decree so 
often paraded, that "dropping for place will not be tolerated," is 
the merest rant. First of all, no man other than the shooter himself 
can in the way of evidence assert when a shooter misses a target, 
be it his first' or his last one in an event, that such shooter has 
dropped for place. One may feel a moral certainty that he has 
done so, but that is not evidence, even for private assertion, much 
less for a public accusation of dishonesty. The offense, too is 
from arbitrary dictum. On analysis it is not possible to show 
any offense in dropping for place. It can, however, be shown 
that if there is unfairness it is in the system, and that dropping 
for place is but an incident of it. The incident, however, is mis- 
taken as a cause. It has been asserted that when a shooter breaks 
a certain number of targets, and another shooter purposely drops 
to the same number, the latter robs the_ one who was exercising 
his best .effort, as he justly owned what his best effort won. There 
is sophistry in that, for no shooter owns anything in a competition 
more than any other shooter, and till the last gun its fired a 
shooter's standing rests on the doings of his_ fellows quite as 
much as on his own, for his standing is relative, not absolute. 
However, under such a system some men will drop for place 
when occasion makes it more profitable to do so, and managements 
will be powerless to prevent it. There are stern money con- 
siderations which a management exacts of a shooter, and in re- 
turn he should have the best possible returns in competition for 
the best performance. Any other consideration is unjust to him. 
A system which rewards betimes the poorest performer better than 
it does the best is unfair in theory and worse in practice. In one 
event the men who broke straight won 30-odd cents; one shooter 
who broke 6 won something under $4. How is it possible to 
ignore the faults of such a system, and manufacture an arbitrary 
offense called "dropping for place" to cure the offense which is 
really within the system itself? These remarks are not made in 
relation to this system as it particularly concerns this shoot, but 
because, owing to the extraordinarly good competition which pre- 
vailed, its wrong principles were uncornmonly well demonstrated. 
The Rose system gives a perfectly equitable division, and should 
be adopted. 
The cashier's office was in charge of the Association secretary,

Conditionst 
Concerning the conditions of the shoot, the ptogramme pre- 
sented the following: 
The State events will be confined strictly to residents of the State. 
Known State experts who will be designated by the management 
must break 24 targets in a State event. Every State expert will re- 
ceive notice on the grounds prior to making his entry of his being 
so classified. State experts may compete on teams in event No. 6, 
the State team championship, without handicap. All State events 
except as otherwise designated will be divided into eight moneys. 
The sweepstake events will be open to the world, and every 
shooter will classify himself. Three magautraps will be used. One 
trap will be used exclusively for State events and the other for 
sweeps. One trap will be known as the amateur and the other as 
the expert. All known experts will be required on the first day to 
shoot at the expert trap only. After the first day the shooters will 
be classified by the records. All shooters averaging 85 per cent, 
or more will be allowed to shoot at the expert trap only. This 
protects the amateur alike from the professional and the expert 
amateur, who is often able to beat out the professional. All sweep- 
stake events will be divided into five moneys. 
Five per cent, of all cash prizes wiU be deducted for daily 
average prizes, and will be divided equally each day between the 
ten shooters making the highest average on each set of traps — 
i. e., to the ten experts making the ten best averages on the expert 
trap, the ten amateurs making the ten best averages on the 
amateur traps, and the ten shooters making the best averages in 
the State events, exchiding No. 6. 
The Oneida County Sportsmen's Association will donate $100 
for grand average prizes as follows: To the five amateurs shooting 
either the amateur or expert programme through each day and 
making the five best averages in the sweeps for the three days, 
?10 each. To the five experts shooting either the amateur or expert 
jjrogramme through each day and making the five best averages in 
the sweeps, .$10 each. The management will determine who are 
experts for the purpose of the grand averages and announce the 
fact' prior to the last target day. It will be understood that an ex- 
pert may b}' shooting less than 85 per cent, be allowed to shoot on 
the amateur traps, while an amateur may always shoot on the 
expert trap if he so desires, but for the purposes of the grand 
averages a shooter must shoot a full programme each day on the 
set of traps where he is classified for that day, and his score there 
will be taken for the average. In other words, if a shooter is named 
as an expert then he can compete for the expert grand average 
only, although he may not shoot well enough to even get away 
from the amateur traps. 
The targets were not thrown hard or far, and the shooting was 
considered as being easy. 
The Trade Representatives. 
There was a fine representation of the trade, there being pres- 
ent Messrs. J. J. Hallowell, of the U. M. C. Co. ; J. S. Fanning, 
of the Laflin & Rand Co. ; Ed Banks, of the E C & Schultze Gun- 
powder Co. ; T. H. Keller, of the King Powder Co. and Peters

First Day, Tuesday, June 5. 
The programme for each day at the expert traps presented 
twelve events, 15 and 20 targets alternately, with a uniform 
entrance of 52 to each, and |10 added to each of the 20 targct 
events; targets included. The weather was pleasant. Griffith, of 
Rhode Island, made the very high average of over 97 per cent., 
with Crosby and Elliott close up with over 96 per cent. A dozen 
of the shooters shot above a 90 per cent. gait.

Second Day, "Wednesday, June 6. 
The weather was clear and warm. The feature of the day's com-
