New York State Shoot 
The forty-sixth annual convention of the New York State As- 
sociation for the Protection of Fish and Game was held at Buf- 
falo, N. Y., under the auspices of the Buffalo Audubon Gun Club, 
on Aug. 16, 17, 18 and 19. The new park of the club was the 
scene of the tournament. It is situated on La Salle avenue, on 
one of the Rumsey farms. The tournament was ably managed 
by Mr. Charles S. Burkhardt, who is a skillful trapshooter him- 
self, and has had a thorough experience in club and tournament 
competition. Besides the buildings, a number of tents added to 
the shelter afforded spectators and contestants. 
Aug. 16, First Day. 
The weather was delightfully pleasant and favorable for good 
scores. There was hardly any wind, and consequently the flight 
of the targets was undisturbed from the flights which the traps 
gave them. 
The professionals were numerously represented. Many of them 
are'the most skillful of America's famous shooters. 
The annual meeting was held on Monday evening. Four new 
clubs were admitted to membership, namely, Owego Gun Club, 
Owego; Avon Rod and Gun Club, Avon; Cohocton Gun Club, 
Cohocton; New Paltz Gun Club, New Paltz, N. Y., Poughkeepsie, 
and Utica were the candidates for next year's shoot. A majority 
decided in favor of Utica. The second week in June was fixed 
upon as the time in which it will be held. Mr. McMurchy sug- 
gested the election of paid officers for the New York State 
Shooting Association, a secretary in particular. A committee was 
appointed in furtherance of the suggestion, as follows: Messrs. 
McMurchy, Burkhardt, Kelsey, Gates and Blandford. 
Mr. Frank D. Kelsey, of East Aurora, N. Y., famous as a 
■skillful performer during many years past, led the competition in 
the average for the day in the open events. He scored 153 out 
of 160, a fraction over 95.6 per cent. Mr. Fred Gilbert was next 
■with 151, and W. H. Heer was next with 150. In the State 
■events, Messrs. Harvey McMurchy and C. W. Floyd tied on 
150 out of 160 for high average of the day. 
There were eight State events at 20 targets each, $2 entrance, 
and Nos. 2, 4, 6 and 8 had $20 added to each. The open events 
were similar to the State events in targets and entrance, but no 
money was added. 
In the State events, the moneys were divided Rose system, 8, 
5, 3, 2, 1. Five per cent, of the purses was deducted for dairy 
averages, 20, 17y z , 15, 12%, 10, 10, 8 and 7 per cent. 
For general average prizes for those competing in the State 
events, the first three days, $100 was divided as follows: $20, $15, 
five $10 and three $5. A like amount was applied to the three 
day averages in the open events. Merchandise prizes were given 
to the three daily averages in the open events. The scores of 
the first day follow:
