The members of the Phoenix Gun Club in the evening gave to 
the members of the Arizona Sportsmen's Association a most en- 
joyable banquet, noted' for good-fellowship, an excellent menu and 
an all-round good time. The banquet was spread in the Hotel 
Adams' banquet room, and the tables were most beautifully deco- 
rated. , • . 
After the banquet there was a business meeting of the Associa- 
tion, at which it was decided to hold the next tournament at Bisbee. 
New officers were elected as follows: President, VV. H. Adam- 
son; Secretary, Toney Downs; Treasurer, Walter Bowman, all of 
the Bisbee Club. 
The chair M'as instructed to appoint one member of each club 
taking part in the toui'nament to serve as vice-presidents, the whole 
number to form a board of control to decide questions not pro- 
vided for in the by-laws. The appointments were Geo. Davison, 
Bisbee; A, J. Knoblock, Jerome; J. H. Holmes, Kingman; J. M. 
Aitken, Phoenix; M. E. Morin, Prescott; E. E. McVeagh, Tucson; 
Wm. H. Seaver, San Francisco. 
Thtttsday, Nov, 28. ' 
Early in the morning the live-bird programme of the day before 
was being coinpletecl in the park, the bluerock events of the day's 
programme were being shot outside, at the club's grounds. Large 
numbers of spectators were at each place, which increased in the 
afternoon at the target events, the live-bird event being completed 
before noon. Records were broken all along the line. In the 
medal events at bluerocks the winners made higher scores than 
ever before made in these events, and in the four-man team shoot 
all the teams but one scored higher than any. team had ever done 
before in Arizona, the previous high record" being in 1897, 163, 
made by the Tucson Club, at Prescott. 
The star shooting of the day was done by Morin, of Prescott, 
who ran 85 straight targets without a miss, and out of the 135 
shot at during tlie day scored but four misses. 
One of the most pleasing features of the day was a purse of $100, 
donated by the citizens of Phoenix, to be added to the purses, 
which greatly increased the interest in the events of the closing 
day. Mr. James Bark was instrumental in securing this donation. 
The visiting members are loud in their praises of-the treatment 
they received at the hands of the local gun club, lunch being served 
free on the grounds all during each day, and of the elegant ban- 
quet at the Hotel Adams, Wednesday night. 
The ties in the McVeagh handicap live-bird event will probably 
be shot off this afternoon, if enough birds can be secured. 
Friday, Nov. 29. 
At 10 o'clock the match at 50 live birds each betweeii Jos. H. 
Holmes, of Kingman, and D. D. McDonald, of Prescott, for $125 
a side took place at Phoenix Park, with the following result: 
Holmes 22121212112222222222221222221122222222222012221222-49

The bluerock match between Holmes and McDonald for $125 
each took place at the gun club's grounds yesterday afternoon at 
1:30 P. M., each man shooting 25 targets down, with the result 
that Holmes won this match also, with a total score of 86 out of 
100, against McDonald's 85. 
After the match, sweepstake events were shot off, as follows:

J. L. H., Jersey City, N. J.— In your editorial entitled "Bob 
White," on Dec. 7, you use the words Ortyx virginianus. I have 
never seen the quail so named, and would like information on the 
subject. My dictionary (the Standard) gives ortygan, a quail-like 
bird. It also gives Colinus virginianus for the quail of the North, 
and Callipepla californica. Ans. Ortyx virginianus "vvas for many 
years the scientific appellation of the Bob White quail. It was used 
almost universally by ornithologists up to about 1885, when tlic 
term Coliints virginianus was adopted, as it appears in the A. O. U. 
check list for 1886. The birds of this genus, as is well understood, 
are found from New England, southwest into Texas and Mexico. 
Lophortyx, Callipepla and other genera of the sub-family Odonlo- 
phorince are Western and Southwestern forms. The name Ortyx 
virginianus, however, is far more familiar to sportsmen than the 
other term, and was used in the editorial for that reason.
