[[March 4, 1905. 
The Bradford, Pa., Gun Club contemplate holding a three-day 
tournament, and to that end are endeavoring to raise a fund of 
$500 for expenses. Nearly the whole amount was subscribed, ac- 
cording to last reports. On Washington's Birthday, this club 
held a shoot, but bad weather limited its scope. However, twenty- 
one shooters were present. Mr. L. E, Mallory, Jr., broke 159 out 
of 175. 
Mr. Edward Banks, formerly of New York, but now a resi- 
dent of the serene hamlet of Wilmington, Del., was a visitor in 
New York on Thursday and Friday of last week. His chief 
object was to meet a nephew from England who was journeying 
to Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He proved to he a fine young man, 
properly equipped with excellent shotguns to enjoy the shooting 
for which the far Northwest is famous. Mr. Banks was the recipi- 
ent of a present from his good friend, Mr. Wm. Sherer, Jr. It is 
a dainty, finely wrought purse of ancient, classical design, a 
product of Australian workmanship. 
The recent ruling of the Interstate Association, commended else- 
where by "Amateur," in our trap columns, opens the door freely 
to certain opportunities of professionalism, masked by the position 
of clerk in a wholesale or retail hardware and gun store. The 
weak place in the ruling is that an employer can engage an 
expert shooter and pay him a salary in excess of his real value 
as a clerk, so that he can thereby pay for his gun and shells, thus 
complying with the letter of the ruling. Indeed, the clerical posi- 
tion might be merely nominal, and still comply with the ruling. 
While the old ruling worked a certain degree of hardship on the 
small number of clerks mentioned in relation to trapshooting, the 
present ruling hss possibilities of hardship to thousands of ama- 
teurs.

Stanley Gttn Club* 
Toronto, Can., Feb. 25.- — The regular weekly shoot of the 
Stanley Gun Club took place on their grounds on Saturday. The 
day, being mild with a light southerly y/ind, was all that could be 
desired for good shooting.

extra birds to shoot at, there were seventeen entries. It was won 
by Mr. Wilson with 6 extra, totaling 23. 
Next Saturday the Stanleys meet the Riverdales on the latter's 
grounds in a league match at 25 targets per man. This will be the 
first time these two clubs will have met this season, and a good 
match is looked for. The following is a summary of Saturday's 
scores : 
Spoon contest, 25 targets, handicap extra birds: Dunk (scratch)

Easton, Pa., Feb. 27.— The following scores were made on 
Feb. 22 shooting over a magautrap, which threw the targets

our heavy-weight cracks, shot in his old-time form.

as referee and trap puller.

Qerks and Professionals. 
Easton, Pa., Feb. 27. — Editor Forest and Stream: I see by the 
issue of Forest and Stream that the Interstate Association has 
decided that a clerk in a wholesale house, who gets his shells 
free, is considered now a professional. 
This is a very good thing, as there are entirely too many of 
these sharks all over the country who are saying they are out 
to create an interest in trapshooting, when the truth really is 
that they want to get together a lot of poor shots and then 
simply take first would-be amateur average and a nice pot of 
money, which the true amateur furnishes. 
Just these kind of people are killing the sport. They should 
be satisfied to have their expenses and shells paid for and 
hot have a lot of poor shots furnish them with spending money. 
I predict it will be only a matter of a few years when no one 
will attend shoots where some of these sharks are known to be. 
There is one who poses _as an amateur here, who really has been 
a professional for at least a year or more, and from what I under- 
stand, will hereafter be considered a professional, and will be 
allowed to shoot for targets only. 
We are paying enough for our cartridges, and do not 
want to see these would-be amateurs win our money besides. 
A man who works hard all week, and who pays full price for his 
shells, does not care to shoot against a man who shoots all 
week and who gets his shells and expense paid for. 
I hope others will take this up and have something to say, 
as it is of vital interest to all who love to meet a true amateur 
at the traps. Amateur.
