Mr. H. E. Winans; of the Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Gun Club, at 
the weekly shoot of that club last week, scored the sixth and

Mr. Will K. Park, in Sporting Life last week stated that Penn- 
sylvania will be the next State to introduce a bill similar to that 
recently passed in New Jersey against pigeon shooting, and warns 
the shooters that the way to meet such action is to organnize 
and oppose it from the start. That is a perfectly sound warning, 
but the history of such happenings is that the shooters vehemently 
and informally think of organization after the deed is done.
