Elmer E. Shaner, Secretary-Treasurer Interstate As¬ 
sociation informs us that the United States Cartridge 
Co., Ltd., of Lowell, Mass., has been elected to mem¬ 
bership in the Interstate Association. 
L’nder the heading “Rules at the Olympic Games,” in 
another column, will be found letters from prominent 
amateur and professional trapshooters, including one 
from Elmer E. Shaner. They are well worth reading. 
The Orange Gun Club, of Orange, N. J., recently 
elected their officers for the coming year, as follows: 
Dr. Geo. W. Wakeley, President: Roland Hopper, Vice- 
President; Abram Mosler, Treasurer; F. R. Wicks, 
Secretary. 
m. 
Lots of the younger shooters among the yacht clubs 
will bear watching. At Marine and Field Club, Chas. 
B. Ludwig has been improving consistently. On Lin¬ 
coln’s Birthday he won the Lincoln cup with pretty near 
a full score, getting 49 of his 50. 
Any gun club that has not yet had a copy of “The 
Sport Alluring,” by Ed. Banks, should get one at 
once. It is full of valuable information to the novice 
and of no less interest to the amateur expert. The book 
•will be sent free of charge to any one mentioning 
Forest and Stream in their request to the advertising 
division of the E. I. du Pont de Nemours Powder Co., 
Wilmington, Del. 
Elmer E. Shaner, Secretary-Treasurer, sends the 
following: “I beg to advise you that the directors of 
the Interstate Association have appointed J. W. Bell, 
St. Louis, Mo.; A. C. Conner, Springfield, Ill.; Frank 
Fuller, Mukwonago, Wis.; Ray E. Loring, Marseilles, 
Ill., and John H. Noel, Nashville, Tenn., a committee 
to allot handicaps to entrants in the coming Grand 
American Handicap at Springfield, Ill.” 
J. M. Corey, Secretary, writes: “The Saratoga Gun 
Club recently reorganized with a membership of about 
fifty, and the number will soon be increased to about 
one hundred. In former years the Saratoga Club was 
one of the foremost clubs in the State, but through lack 
of interest it soon disbanded. The New York State 
shoot was held here at one time, and upward of three 
hundred shooters faced the traps. An interstate shoot 
is planned by the members, to be held some time this 
spring, and it is hoped that we will have a bit attend¬ 
ance. At present we are shooting from three experts, 
but will soon have automatic traps installed. Shooters 
arc cordially invited to participate in any of our shoots, 
and manufacturers’ agents invited to call on us when in 
this vicinity. The officers of the club are: Harry Lev- 
engston. President; J. K. Walbridge, Vice-President; 
J. M. Corey, Secretary: P. B. Kearney, Treasurer. 
Shoots are planned for all holidays and Sundays.” 
Harry Kahler, one of the youngest shots in the coun¬ 
try, is out to secure the world’s championship of white 
flyers this season. Following his match with J. S. Gay, 
the Kentucky champion, which will be shot at Lexing¬ 
ton, Ky., on Feb. 26 and 28 and March 1, if a third 
shoot is necessary, the Philadelphia marksman will ac¬ 
cept all challenges, regardless from whom and whence 
they come. Kahler this year has made an exceptional 
record, both at targets and white flyers, and his coming 
tests with Gay are attracting widespread interest through¬ 
out the shooting community. Each one of his races 
with Gay will be at 100 birds, the winner of the series 
to pull down the $3,000 purse which has been offered. 
All of the shoots will be decided in Lexington on the 
grounds of a private club.

Bay Ridge, N. Y., Feb. 17.—Three thousand clay birds 
were .sprung from the Crescent Athletic Club’s traps

conditions were much to their liking; many full scores 
were made. The summaries;

total of 97 out of 100, was the high gun in the weekly 
trapshooting contests yesterday at the New York A. C. 
traps at Travers Island. The weather was ideal for the 
sport, and an unusually large number of spectators were 
on hand. A squad of twenty-one gunners would also 
speak well for the popularity of the events. Mr. Spotts, 
in addition to having the high score of the day, carried 
off legs on three trophies, donated by Messrs. Lenane, 
Lembeck and Billings.

Sfock Exchange Handicap. 
Bay Chester, N. Y., Feb. 17.—The bulls and bears, 
members of the New York Stock Exchange, held their 
annual championship at the Country Club here to-day. 
The traps, facing Stepping Stones lighthouse, looking 
over the Sound toward August Belmont’s house, offered 
a fine, clear line on the targets, and as a result, good 
scores were made. 
Prentiss Kellogg won the championship with 86 out 
of 100, beating Stuart Scott, title holder, by one bird. 
Geo. M. Seidenberg won the handicap.
