members of the Mooselucmeguntic five of Haines Land¬ 
ing, which won the Maine championship last year, and 
who will shoot again on the team this year, is a mem¬ 
ber of the American Olympic team, and C. \V. Bill¬ 
ings, who will probably shoot in the open events at 
Haines Landing, is captain of the Yankee bunch. Of 
course, the State shoot will take place at Haines Land¬ 
ing, since Mooselucmeguntic Gun Club won the cup 
last season, and Walter D. blinds, of that city, is captain 
of the team.

Apropos the active existence of our Association, the 
following note may be of interest in this day of awaken¬ 
ing game protection and conservation of the State’s 
natural resources, taken from the history of the Asso¬ 
ciation: 
“In October, 1859, a few ardent lovers of field sports 
signed the following call for a convention: 
“ ‘A State convention of sportsmen will be held in the 
village of Geneva, on Tuesday, Nov. 15, 1859, for the 
purpose of discussing and devising means for united 
action throughout the State for a revision of the pres¬ 
ent senseless and inefficient game and fish laws. Sports¬ 
men are generally invited to attend.’ 
“At noon, Tuesday, Nov. 15, 1859, the convention was 
called to order at the Franklin House by M. H. Mande- 
ville, of Geneva, upon whose motion, Charles H. Haswell, 
of New York city, was chosen President; Charles W. 
Hutchinson, of Utica, and H. L. Suydam, of Geneva, 
Yice-Presidents, and FIcnry Hunter, of Rochester, Sec¬ 
retary.’ 
L. H. Schortemeier, Sec y-Treas.

No. 5 was the Harvey trophy. 
Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, O., March 25.—The Jack Rabbit shoot 
held Thursday, March 21, was O.K. Of course bad 
weather had to come, but when don’t we get bad weather 
these days. Quite a nice little crowd was out. Coburn 
took us all in to camp. Webb was one bird behind. 
Dr. Webb three behind. Harley Kilgore got in in time 
to shoot four events, and he still knows how. Dad 
Kelly came over with Coburn, and still can point the 
old gun right. He is sure one of the boys. Scores: 
Coburn 138, Webster 137, Dr. Edwards 135, Fisher 130, 
Squier 120, Moeller 118, Coffman 116, Kelly 74 out of 
100, Kilgore 51 out of 60, Shilling 65 out of 75, J. H. 
Smith 109. All the rest shot the program. 
Luther was more than a welcome visitor. Every one 
is glad to see Luther Squier come on the ground. 
The writer, having purchased the well-known Hotel 
National, or Bulkhead, at the Lewistown Reservoir, or 
Indian Lake, extends a very cordial invitation to shooters 
to come and spend their vacation at this popular resort. 
Everything is being cleaned and refurnished, which will 
make this hotel one of the best places on the lake. The 
same good meals will be served, like those served at the 
club. 
The shoot to be held April 2 at this resort is post¬ 
poned until April 9 on account of the Lake still being 
frozen. The duck shooting will be much better at this 
date. The Squier money-back plan will be used. Come 
and stay over for the ducks. Take the Ohio electric to 
Stop 27, on the Lima and Springfield Division, or T. & 
O. C. to Russel’s Point. Good guides, with boats, 
blinds and decoys, can be had at reasonable prices. 
Ammunition of all kinds on the grounds.
