Gfand American Handicap Entries. 
On Wednesday of last week the Handicap Committee met at the 
Astor House, New York, immediately after a session of the 
Tournament Committee, at which said committee passed upon the 
list of entries. Mr. J. L. Head, of Peru, Ind., was unanimously 
elected chairman. Owing to busin-ess reasons Mr. T. A. Divine, 
of Memphis, Tenn., was unable to attend. The other members 
were Messrs. C. W. Budd, of Des Moines, la.; Elmer E. Shaner^ 
Pittsburg; Will K. Park, Philadelphia; W. R- Hobart, Newark;,

Professionals as Sq«ad Captains* 
The following appeared in the Republic, of St. Louis, March 24: 
A great many of our local sportsmen have shown a decided in- 
terest in the coming St. Louis shooting tournament, which is to 
be held at Dupont Prak the week of May 28, 29, 30, 31 and June 1. 
The prominent feature of this tournament will be the final con- 
test for the Republic cup, which is now held by Jim Elliott, who is 
the recognized champion of the United States, with no one to 
challenge him. He has held undisputed possession of the Republic 
cup for almost a year, and no one has come forward^to claim his 
title. However, Mr. Elliott will relinquish the cup to the Missouri 
State Association, and a contest will be given to decide a new 
ov:r.:er. The winner, whoever he may be, will not wear his honors 
long, for immediately after the open shoot is decided the winners 
of the cup in former years and those who have held it by winning 
it by challeng'e will meet in a 25-bird race to decide the final 
owj: ership. 
The target races are a departure from previous tournaments. 
The St. Louis shoot has been famous for the liberality of the 
purses in the target events. 
"We are going to be just as liberal this year, only in a dif- 
ferent way," says Herbert Taylor. "The professional shooter — 
that is, the man who shoots at the traps representing a manu- 
facturer — will not compete with the amateurs at this tournament in 
the target events. He will be here to display his skill and meet 
the boys from Salt River, but will shoot for exhibition only. The 
Association v/ill ask Messrs. Gilbert, Elliott, Heikes, Fanning, 
Crosby, Parker and others to become captains of different squads, 
■composed of amateurs, with no two professionals allowed in any 
one squad. The professionals will have the same incentive to make 
high scores as before, and it will break up the Indiam squad busi- 
ness which is such a terror to the heart of the amateur. 
"This, by the way, is only a suggestion to these gentlemen. The 
Association does not presume to dictate to them how they shall 
shoot, but they will come here with the understanding that the 
Association would like to see this experiment tried and to give 
the amateur the chance to become intimately acquainted with the 
famous shots of the country. 
"Another point which will arouse interest in the heart of the 
amateur is the merchandise events. There will be 15-bird races in 
which everybody will get a prize. These prizes will be donated to 
the Association and shot for under the regular rules — a man can 
win a fine hammerless shotgun or a pair of socks, a silver tea set 
or a clock. All he has to do is to shoot for it and win it. 
"The cost of attending this shoot will be very much less than 
at any other tournament. The target entries will cost only a 
dollar for the 15-bird races and a dollar and a half for the 20- 
bird races. This is a material reduction from last year. It will 
enable the amateur who shoots in hard luck to shoot longer for 
the same amount of money, and will also enable him to win as 
much as before, because first and second moneys will not be cut 
up by the professionals." 
The Missouri State Game and Fish Protective Association is 
twenty-four years old. It has done its share to promote the noble 
sport of shooting, and also by influencing legislation and the dis- 
tribution of literature to preserve game and fish and prevent the 
killing of game out of season. 
Trapshooting provides a means for the sportsman to work off 
his enthusiasm when the closed season is at hand. It also makes 
him an expert with the gun in the field. ' 
A trapshooter always makes a good soldier; a goo^ soldier 
makes a good citizenj and a good citizen makes this country worth 
living in. 
The tournament is given to promote a better feeling among 
sportsmen and to give them an opportunity to try their skill 
with men of their own kind.

^uF-'''T^^^"^,~?P""f day favored the regular bi-monthly 
fel, H P ^} '"<^h«ster Gun Club baturday, the 23d inst, at their 
Highland Park grounds. A good attendance and a very pleasant 
time were the result. Although some good shooting was done, the 
club event scores show a lack of form. The Class B men are very 
ffrateful to Mr. S. G. Lewis, who, as the true sportsman and g-eni^ 
lellow that he is, voluntarily surrendered his place in Class B, where 
this years classification put him, to take his chance among the 
Class A men. ^ 
T. Reid successfully defended his right to wear the A medal 
another two weeks. ^ •. 
Hitchcock and Lane tied for the B honors, Hitchcock winning 
out in the shoot-off by 19 to 16. and the C medal was again won 
by Dr. Gibbes. The scores:

bear comparison with any other. — Adv. 
The ice is going out of the Canadian lakes, and before long
