At the annual business meeting of the New York State Associa- 
tion for the Protection of Fish and Game, held at Buffalo, N. Y., 
on Aug. 15, Utica was fixed upon as the place for the next New 
York State shoot, and the second week in June was fixed upon 
as the time to hold it. On motion of Mr. Harvey McMurchy, it 
was carried that State officers would be elected and paid for their 
services, and in furtherance of this purpose a committee was ap- 
pointed, the members of which are as follows: Messrs. Mc- 
Murchy, chairman; Burkhardt, Kelsey, Gates and Blandford. 
•s 
Mr. E. B. Shogren, secretary, writes us that "the programmes 
for the Chicago Trapshooters' Association tournament, Sept. 9, 
10 and 11, will be ready for distribution next week. The Asso- 
ciation will spring something new in the division of moneys. Many 
inquiries are being received, and .the officers look for a large 
gathering of visiting shooters. It being a strictly amateur shoot, 
fully- protecting the 80 and 85 per cent, shooter, so he will receive 
a fair return of his entrance. Added money and merchandise 
prizes will make it worth while for many shooters to visit our 
city and also shoot over the best equipped grounds in the State." 
In the averages of the New York State shoot, held last week, 
in the open events, the professional leaders were: First, Messrs. 
Fred Gilbert, with 459 out of 480; second, J. A. R. Elliott, 452; 
third, W. H. Heer, 448. Amateur leaders in the open averages 
were': Messrs. E. C. Griffith 446, Frank D. Kelsey 435, C. W. 
Hart 432. Mr. Harvey McMurchy was high man in the State 
events with a total of 457 out of 485, and therefore was the win- 
ner of the New York City cup. Mr. Hart was second in the 
State averages with 446, Mr. Kelsey was third with 444, and Mr. 
C W. Floyd was fourth with 441. The Fulton Gun Club, the 
members of which were Messrs. McMurchy, George Lewis and 
Capt. I. K. Chapman, won the Dean Richmond trophy with a 
score of 66 out of a possible 75. • - 
Concerning an incident of the Indian tournament, a correspond- 
ent, "Wildman," writes us as follows: "Frank Harrison, Chief 
Battle Ax, acted as referee and puller at the badger fight, which 
was pulled off for his special edification and entertainment. Be- 
fore the fight, Battle Ax was positive that a 'badger' could not 
outfight a coon. He now knows better. There was some dis- 
satisfaction at first among . those having heavy wagers on the 
badger at the selection. But when Tom Marshall assured the 
bettors that Battle Ax had officiated as referee for the Ail-Ameri- 
can and English team match in 1901, and had given perfect satis- 
faction, all objections were withdrawn. Battle Ax was a success. 
What a dandy time the squaws had at this meeting— horseback 
riding, driving, walking, dancing, card playing, etc. They are to 
have an organization of their own, with Mrs. R. O. Heikes as 
president. They will keep the chiefs guessing."
