The Eastern Handicap 
The Interstate Association’s Ninth Eastern Handicap 
Tournament, under the auspices of the Bradford Gun 
Club, Bradford, Pennsylvania, June 16, 17 and 18, 1914. 
$1,000 or more added. By The Interstate Association 
and the Bradford Gun Club. 
Bradford, McKean County, Pennsylvania, is located 
in the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains, at an alti¬ 
tude of 1,425 feet. It is in the heart of the oil field and 
has properly been called the Queen City of the Oil 
Regions. The city is supplied with pure, clear water 
from mountain springs, and its reservoirs are high up 
in the hills, making its advantages for motor power 
and fire protection second to none. 
Bradford is one of the most attractive localities for 
business and residential purposes in Northwestern 
Pennsylvania. In the business and manufacturing por¬ 
tions of the city the buildings are substantial and well 
adapted for the uses to which they are devoted. The 
residential portion is handsomely laid out, with well- 
paved and brilliantly lighted streets, along which lux¬ 
urious homes have been erected. 
The principal industries are the manufacturing of 
engines, boilers, couplings, oil well tools, etc., but the 
manufacturing interests are not confined to oil well 
supplies alone, as there are many other factories, such 
as cutlery, silk mills, carbon plant, wood alcohol and 
acids. 
Bradford possesses public spirit, and that is an im¬ 
portant characteristic of an ideal city. Its school 
buildings are models of modem architecture, and its 
educational system the very best. It has pure water, 
excellent electric railway service, ample telephone ser¬ 
vice, electric light and natural gas for residence and 
business houses. The city is famous for its beauty, its 
health, its energy, its prosperity, its industrial, educa¬ 
tional, religious and social advantages, and for its 
broad-minded progressive business men. 
Bradford can be reached by the Pennsylvania, Erie, 
and Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh Railroads, as 
well as by the Western New York and Pennsylvania 
Traction Company, thus making the railroad facilities 
superior to most cities of its size. 
The Bradford Gun Club was organized more than 
thirty years ago, and at present has a membership of 
seventy-eight. The club owns twenty acres of land 
and has one of the finest clubhouses in the country, 
which adds greatly to- the convenience and comfort of 
the shooters and their friends. The grounds are easily 
reached by the electric cars, being only fifteen minutes’ 
ride from all hotels in the city. 
The membership of the Bradford Gun Club is com¬ 
posed of representative citizens, among them many 
of the best business and professional men of the city, 
noted for their hospitality, which will be generously 
dispensed during the coming tournament. Visiting 
sportsmen have always been cordially received by th? 
citizens, as well as by the club’s members, and every¬ 
thing possible will be done to make the visitors to the 
Ninth Eastern Handicap Tournament feel at home while 
in Bradford. 
PROGRAM. 
The Interstate Association desires that all trap 
shooters will bestow their earnest attention on the 
many interesting events announced in this program. 
Progressiveness has ever been a conspicuous feature 
of the association’s policy in respect to all trap shooting 
interests. And also it is the special care of the asso¬ 
ciation that first-class competition shall be provided at 
all of its tournaments. This year some new features 
of marked improvement have been introduced, which it 
is confidently believed will appeal to and be appreciated 
by all classes of trap shooters. 
The Squier Money-Back System, with the low _ en¬ 
trance fees and losses paid back each day, provides 
competition for the beginner and the mediocre shot, who 
can compete in the regular program events and have a 
chance to win something if he is in good form, and if 
he fails to shoot up to expectations his sport costs him 
the price of targets only. 
The Optional Sweepstakes on each regular program 
event, divided on the High Gun System, provides com¬ 
petition for the more skillful shot who wants to take 
a chance of winning larger amounts than called for by 
the regular division. 
The Optional Sweepstakes on each day’s program and 
the Optional Sweepstakes on the three days’ program, 
both divided on the High Gun System, provide competi¬ 
tion for the expert shot who is willing to take a chance 
with contestants his equal in skill. 
In addition, each contestant who competes in the

The country traversed by the Reid Newfoundland Company’s system is exceedingly rich in all kinds 
of Fish and Game. All along the route of the Railway are streams famous for their Salmon and Trout 
fishing, also Caribou barrens. Americans who have been fishing and hunting in Newfoundland say 
there is no other country in the world in which so good fishing and hunting can be secured and with 
such ease as in Newfoundland. Information, together with illustrated Booklet and Folder, cheerfully for¬
