pointed at the condition of the weather. The local 
papers were to blame for many absentees, as they failed 
to publish one of the principal parts of their notice. That 
was to the effect, that the committee would provide a 
large tent for temporary shelter. Had the absentees 
known there would be shelter, many would have come 
out. There was a very large crowd, nevertheless, at 
the grounds, and the committee were commended from 
all quarters for their admirable selection, which was 
highly gratifying to those gentlemen who have labored 
for the locating of the new Amalgamated Gun Club in 
a locality where we can draw the target patronage and 
give every facility to reach the grounds.. 
After inspecting the grounds and viewing the sur¬ 
roundings, which are had from this new location, the 
cornmittee gave a general invitation to everybody to try 
their hand over the traps, and many accepted. After 
shooting for two hours, they decided unanimously that 
the new grounds were the finest they had ever shot 
over, every angle giving a clear sky background. It 
was the intention, after the shoot, to decide on plans 
and specifications for the new club house; but those 
present decided to adjourn to some evening this com¬ 
ing week and get right down to business, so that the 
committee can have everything completed as soon as 
possible, and can send out a general notice that the 
new gun club is ready to do business and entertain 
their many friends, both local and visiting. I hope to 
announce this through the columns of the Forest and 
Stream in the very near future.

_ Since announcing our seventh annual tournament (reg¬ 
istered) for Aug. 18, 1909, we have received the sanction 
of the directors of the New York State Sportsman’s As¬ 
sociation for the Watts L. Richmond trophy, thereby 
rnaking it the authentic contest for the amateur cham¬ 
pionship of western New York, the territory being speci¬ 
fied as Cayuga, Tompkins and Tioga counties and coun¬ 
ties in New York State west of these. Any three wins 
entitles to permanent ownership, in which event the 
Holland Gun Club will replace the trophy. 
_ The 1908 winner was Mr. Edward Cox, of Buffalo. He 
is the present holder of the cup and is entitled to 50 per 
cent, of the entrance for 1909, The 1909 winner will hold 
the cup for one year and be entitled to 50 per cent, of 
the entrance in 1910. Second contest for this trophy will 
be shot off at our tournament, Aug. 18. For our 1909 
programme, we are planning something special to attract 
the shooters outside of the above stated territory, and 
we want your name for our mailing list. 
The two shoots of March 25 and April 1 close our win¬ 
ter season. If you happen this way, plan to shoot with 
us on these dates at 1:30 P. M.

Grove Gun Club. 
Detroit, Mich., March 7.—At the last regular shoot 
of the Grove Gun Club Fleming and Tolsma tied for 
Class A medal, Schaeffer captured the Class B medal, 
and the C and D class men must have been out after 
big game, because neither showed up at the shoot. The 
ducks haven’t arrived yet. Better come out to the 
shoot and save your ambition, so that you won’t miss 
it when they do arrive. 
Fleming won the Hellerich trophy with 13 out of 15. 
Ihe next regular shoot will take place on March 21
