[June 19, 1909. 
rARTlCIPANTS AT THE FIFTY-FIRST ANNUAL TOURNAMENT OF THE X. Y. STATE SPORTSMEN’S ASSN., SYRACUSE, _N. Y., JUNE 8-10. 
*Designates James H. Lamphere, the winner of the grand prize in the merchandise event. 
New York State Shoot. 
The shoot of the New York State Sportsmen’s As¬ 
sociation, held under the auspices of the Onondaga 
County Gun Club, Syracuse, N. Y., June 8-10, was a 
success, a fitting conclusion to the earnest efforts of officers 
and members who diligently worked during the preceding 
months to that end. In particular, the officers of the 
local club deserve commendation in behalf of the tourna¬ 
ment. Conspicuous in this respect were Messrs. G. M. 
Phillips, W. E. Hookway and G. M Phillips The traps 
were in charge of the popular expert, Mr. Charles 
North, which is the equivalent of stating that all matters 
in his charge were attended to with the greatest degree 
of efficiency. 
At the annual meeting, the President, H. W. Smith, in 
the chair, it was carried as an amendment to the consti¬ 
tution that the Association shall manage the State shoots 
in future, and that the competition, other than that re¬ 
lating to State events, shall be open to all. Officers 
were elected as follows: President, H. W. Smith; Vice- 
President, John H. Hendrickson; Secretary-Treasurer, 
Charles G. Blandford. New directors elected were H. 
H. Valentine, of Albany, and Edward Cox, of Buffalo, 
members of the Pine Hills and Audubon gun clubs re¬ 
spectively. The sentiment seemed to be in favor of 
holding the next shoot in the vicinity of Syracuse, the 
officers in charge having proved highly efficient, and the 
local enthusiasm being an important factor in the 
tournament success. It was further carried that trophies 
would be provided for first, second and third high aver¬ 
ages, that the members should provide the prizes for 
the merchandise event, and further that trade donations 
would not be sought as heretofore, distinctly a move in 
the right direction, as it frees the association from a 
distinctly undignified and unwarrantable usage. 'There 
is no objection to the acceptance of a contribution 
voluntarily offered; but direct solicitation conies near to 
begging, or such begging perchance, much depending 
on the temperament and methods of the solicitor in this 
respect. The officers have power to contract for the 
necessary equipment. 
The New York city cup, emblematic of the target 
championship of the State during the past ten years, 
high average each year determining its ownership, was 
contested for finally this year, seven out of ten eligible 
contestants being present. The first 100 targets of the 
third day constituted the final contest, the local club 
having the power to name the conditions of the final 
contest. The contestants were F. D. Kelsey, Sim Glover, 
Harry D. Kirkover, John Martin, J. A. R. Elliott. 
Harvey McMurchy and H. S. Welles, the latter winning 
with the magnificent total of 98 out of the 100, of which 
75 was a straight run. Elliott was second with 92; 
Kelsey, 91; Glover, Kirkwood and Martin scored 89; 
McMurchy, 86 . Of the amateurs, the New York Athletic 
Club expert, F. H. Schauffler, made a run of 84. 
The office was in charge of that masterful expert, 
Luther J. Squier, who kept his records up to the 
minute. 
June 7 was practice day, for which eight 15-target 
events were provided. Forty-eight shooters availed them¬ 
selves of the practice opportunity, and of the amateurs 
Carpenter scored a total of 111 out of the 120. Next in 
order came Green, with 108, closely followed by Kou- 
wenhovfen with 107, and Hopkins with 106. There were 
seven professionals in attendance, of whom Darton was 
high with 112 .
