ANNUAL MEETING. 
The annual meeting of the League was held on 
the evening of June 5, in the N. C. R. Industrial Hall. 
W. F. Bippus, vice-president of the club, presided, and 
after calling the meeting to order, he stated that he had 
been deputized by the Mayor to extend a welcome to the 
city of Dayton, and to express his regret that he was 
unable to be present to welcome the shooters himself. 
The visitors were also assured of the pleasure of the 
N. C. R. Company at having them as guests. Mr. Bippus 
said that the company believed in outdoor sports, and 
uould welcome any suggestions to make the shoot 
better and more pleasant to the shooters, and would 
carry them out, if possible, before the tournament was 
over. In many written suggestions, which were handed 
to the chairman, there was not an adverse criticism of 
the arrangements for the shoot or the way it was being 
handled. Some of them were of a humorous character 
and created much amusement. Mr. Bippus then called 
upon several of the visitors for raemarks. Mr. T. A. 
Marshall started the “talk fest,”_ and as usual was most 
entertaining. Among other things, he said that this 
was not one of the best, but the best State tournament 
he had attended this year, a sentiment that was heartily 
applauded. He had nothing but praise for the manner 
in which the shoot was handled. 
Among the other speakers were Messrs. R. O. 
Heikes, F. E. Pond, H. L. Mombeck, president of the 
club, and W. F. MacCandless, secretary, who is largely 
responsible for the success of the tournament. 
The business meeting was then begun with President 
R. R. Dickey in the chair. He thanked the officers of 
the gun club, as well as the officers of the N. C. R. 
Company for their efforts to make the annual tournament 
a.success. The reading of the minutes of the last meet¬ 
ing was dispensed with, and the roll call of clubs was 
the first order of business. There were twenty names 
read, and ten were represented at the meeting. Then 
the place for the next meeting was selected. The Ideal 
Gun Club, of Circleville, and the Columbus Gun Club 
made offers for the tournament. Mr. Smart moved that 
the nominations be closed, as no other club seemed in¬ 
clined to bid, and balloting proceeded. The first bal¬ 
lot was a tie, and the second resulted in favor of the 
Circleville Club. 
The following officers were unanimously elected: 
W. I. Spangler, President; E. M. Stout, Vice-President; 
J. S. Ri'tt. Secretary-Treasurer, all of Circleville. Direc¬ 
tors: Dr. F. M. Edwards and J. H. Smith, of Columbus; 
H. D. Smart, Galion; E. S. Rogers, Cleveland; Dr. Wm. 
Shattuck, Coal Grove. 
The resolutions against the use of any money col¬ 
lected for gun or hunting licenses for any purpose ex¬ 
cept the protection and propagation of garne and fish, 
which has heen accepted by a number of State leagues 
of trapshooters, was introduced by Dr. Edwards. lits 
purpose, and the reason for it, was explained by Mr. 
Marshall, and the motion to accept was carried. The 
League also voted to become a member of the National 
Association for the Protection and Propagation of Game 
and Fish. , 
Mr. Bippus moved that the money in the treasurer s 
hands be turned over to the Circleville Gun Club, and 
that it be used as added money for next year’s tourna¬ 
ment. Mr. Spangler moved an amenment that it be used 
to purchase trophies for the next shoot. The arnend- 
ment was accepted, and the motion carried. Mr. Smart 
offered a resolution, signed bv 91 of the 102 shooters 
present, that the next G. A. H. be held at Dayton. It 
is needless to say that the resolution was adopted unani¬ 
mously. Mr. E. S. Rogers moved that a vote of thanks 
be tendered to the N. C. R. Gun Club, and to the 
N. C. R. officers, for the courtesies which had been 
shown the visitors. The motion was carried. Mr. W, R. 
Chamberlain asked permission to donate a trophy for 
the next annual tournament, the conditions governing the 
contest to be announced later. His generous offer was 
accepted. A notion to adjourn was carried. 
Second Day. 
The second day was partly cloudy and cool, the 
mercury standing below 80 nearly all day. The wind 
still prevailed and was blowing in the shooters’ faces, 
bothering them considerably. The targets also continued 
to make upward flights, and the close of the day found 
many of the shooters just a little lower than on the 
first day. There were 107 shooters during the day, and 
103 of them shot through the program. Squad No. 4 
(German, Henderson, Marshall, Edwards and Foltz) 
started out with a record in the first event, Foltz being 
the only member so unfortunate as to drop a target, the 
score was 74 out of 75. The special events for the day 
were the Heikes special at 25 targets, entrance $1, divided 
40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent., $25 added by the club. The 
five-man team mate'n for the Shooting and Fishing 
trophy, at 25 targets per man, same entrance and divi¬ 
sion. It was decided not to start the day with one of 
the specials, but that they should both be shot after the 
regular events. The first squad was in place early, and 
right on the stroke of 9 the first call of “puli’ _ was 
heard. At 4 o’clock the regular events were finished 
and the specials started; but it was after 6 when the last 
squad sheet was brought to the office. There were a few 
who did not show up after the first day, but their places 
were more than filled. 
The five-man team race started with eight tearns en¬ 
tered, the Columbus team (Fisher, Webster, H. Smith, 
F. M. Edwards and J. H. Smith) coming out with 7 
to the good over Cleveland. Cinennati had a team en¬ 
tered, but none of the members shot up to their 
and she was one of the “also rans,’’ a position which she 
seldom finished in in the old days. Fisher and Cam 
were the only two to go straight in this event. 
The tie for the Review trophy was then decided, 
being taken by Foltz’s team. 
Johnnie Taylor started accumulate a few broken 
targets, and after missing the ninth one he shot at, he 
bagged them all until the first one in the eighth event, 
securing a long run of 96. George Kistler, J. M. Mark¬ 
ham, Lon Fisher and Rolla Heikes went straight in the 
Heikes special. W. Webster was high amateur for the 
day with 144; Markham and Fisher close seconds with 
143, and Mombeck coming next with 142. John Taylor 
finished first among the professionals with 146 German 
and R O Heikes following with 144 and 142 respec- 
tivelv ' On the two days at 300 targets, J. M. Markham 
had 'one target the best of Coburn with 286 to 285; Lon 
Fisher was next with 284, followed by W. Webster with
