shooting, and the scores made by the members of the

No one could put them over 
Grand Afro-American Handicap. 
St. Louis has been decided upon as the battling 
ground for the seventh annual grand Afro-American 
handicap, and on account of its central location this 
should be the greatest shoot on record of the colored 
tribe. 
As chairman of the board of directors, to whose vote 
selection of time and place is left, we are desirous of 
doing everything to the greatest advantage to the great¬ 
est number concerned; and to all colored clubs and 
shooters who have not been consulted in reference to 
dates best suited to them, I would advise them to offer 
complaint or suggestions for changes, if there are any 
to the dates now being looked forward to to be registered 
with the Interstate Association, these dates being July 
1 and 2. 
So if you have any good causes for change from 
these dates you will have to make same known at once 
through the press or to the secretary-treasurer of the 
League, Dr. Geo. A. Flippin, Stromsburg, Neb., before 
he registers same with the Interstate Association latter 
part of this month, when same will not then be changed. 
When the second G. A. H. was held in St. Louis 
during the World’s Fair, it was a decided success, de¬ 
spite the fact that St. Louis then contained no colored 
gun clubs; but when you come to St. Louis this year 
it will not be as in 1904, to find only an aggregation 
assembled from different places, but first of all St. Louis 
to-day has one of the most enthusiastic colored clubs 
of the country, composed of many of our leading citi¬ 
zens, and the St. Louis Club guarantees to have at least 
six local shooters, with probably that many more, to 
shoot through entire programme, with many others now 
and then, so all colored shooters from different parts of 
the country should begin to prepare to meet on the 
firing line in the seventh G. C. A. H. at St. Louis, Mo., 
July 1 and 2. T. H. Cohron. 
Montclair Gun Club. 
Montclair, N. J., April 10.—The big shoot of Wed¬ 
nesday last must have been too much for some of the 
club members, for only six were out to-day. 
Event No. 2, the second leg for the Dukes trophy 
was won by Ray Jacobus with 24 breaks to his credit, 
or a perfect score with his handicap. 
Event No. 5 was won by Allan. In this event the 
targets were all sharp left-quarterers. 
In Event No. 4 the targets were all thrown as high 
as possible. 
Events Nos. 6 and 7, for two-man teams, partners to 
pick up missed targets, the honors were evenly divided. 
On Saturday, the seventeenth, the club shoot a return 
match at Princeton, N. J., with the University team.
