The Hazard Ttophy. 
The Hazard live-bird championship challenge trophy; which was 
put' in competition for the first time at the Kansas City midwinter 
tournament, held last week, is a work of art, as will be noted on 
referring to the cut of it, published in this issue. The Hazard 
Powder Company describes it as , follows; ■ 
"The massive silver pitcher is a typical example of the Martele 
or hand-wrought silver, which is recognized as a distinct artistic 
achievement, and for which the Gorham Company have received 
highest awards at the Exposition Universelle, Paris, 1900, and the 
Pan-American Exposition^ 1901. The piece is 18in. in height and 
of massive weight. It is entitled 'The Wave,' the motive and 
feeling of which are most successfully expressed in outline and 
decoration. Four heads of Tritons and rnerm.aids emerging from 
waves from the base of the pitcher. The body is decorated with 
water sprites at play amid waves, from which emerge sea weed, 
and shell forms to form the neck and lip. A mermaid, gracefully 
posed, froms the liandlCj and is continued into a decorative fish, 
from wher« it merges into the wave, forming the body of the 
piece."
