The Eastern Handicap. 
The Interstate Association’s Seventh Eastern Handi¬ 
cap tournament will be held at Bradford, Pa., July 9-11, 
under the auspices of the Bradford Gun Club. One 
thousand dollars will be added by the Interstate Asso¬ 
ciation and the Bradford Gun Club. 
Bradford, McKean county. Pa., is located in the foot¬ 
hills of the Allegheny Mountains, at an altitude of 1,425 
feet. It is in the heart of the oil field, and has properly 
been called the Queen City of the oil regions. The city 
is supplied with pure, clear water from mountain springs, 
and its reservoirs are high up in the hills, making its 
advantages for motor power and fire protection second 
to none. 
It is one of the most attractive localities for busi¬ 
ness and residential purposes in Northwestern Pennsyl¬ 
vania. In the business and manufacturing portions of 
the city the buildings are substantial and well adapted 
for the uses to which they are devoted. The residential 
portion is handsomely laid out, with well-paved and 
brilliantly lighted streets along which luxurious homes 
have been erected. 
The principal industries are the manufacturing of 
engines, boilers, couplings, oil well tools, etc., but the 
manufacturing interests are not confined to oil well sup¬ 
plies alone, as there are many other factories, such as 
cutlery, silk mills, carbon plant, wood alcohol and acids. 
Bradford claims the distinction of having the only oxalic 
acid plant in the United States. 
Bradford possesses public spirit, and that is an im¬ 
portant characteristic of an ideal city. Its school build¬ 
ings are models of modern architecture, and its educa¬ 
tional system the very best. It has pure water, excellent 
electric railway service, ample telephone service, electric 
light and natural gas for residence and business houses. 
The city is famous for its beauty, its health, its energy, 
its prosperity, its industrial, educational, religious and 
social advantages, and for its broad-minded progressive 
business men. 
Br.tdford can be reached by the Pennsylvania, Erie, 
and Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh railroads, as well 
as by the Western New York & Pennsylvania Traction 
Company, thus making the railroad facilities superior to 
most cities of its size. 
The Bradford Gun Club was organized more than 
thirty years ago, and at present has a membership of 
one hundred, with a waiting list—its membership being 
limited to one hundred. The club owns twenty acres of 
land and has one of the finest club houses in the coun¬ 
try, which adds greatly to the convenience and comfort 
of the shooters and their friends. The grounds are easily 
reached by the electric cars, being only fifteen minutes’ 
ride from all hotels in the city. 
The membership of the Bradford Gun Club is com¬ 
posed of representative citizens, among them many of the 
best business and professional men of the city noted for 
their hospitality, which will be generously dispensed 
during the coming tournament. X’isiting sportsmen have 
always been cordially received by citizens, as well as by 
the club’s members, and everything possible will be 
done to make the visitors to the Seventh Eastern Handi¬ 
cap tournament feel at home while in Bradford. 
The conditions governing the Eastern Handicap are 
as follows: 
One hundred targets, unknown angles; handicaps, 
16 to 23yds.; high guns, not class shooting; $200 added 
to the purse. The number of moneys into which the 
purse will be divided will be determined by the number 
of entries. Entrance, $10, the price of the targets being 
included. 
The winner of first money is guaranteed $250 or more. 
If first money falls below $250, the difference will be 
made good by the Interstate Association. A trophy 
will be presented by the Interstate Association to the 
amateur contestant who makes the highest score. 
Regular entries must be made at the cashier’s office, on 
the shooting grounds, before 5 P.M., Wednesday, July 10. 
Penalty entries may be made Wednesday, Julv 10, up 
to the time the first gun is fired in event No. 5, Thurs¬

The moneys will be divided as follows: 
Regular program and double-target events—Rose sys¬ 
tem. ratio 5, 3, 2, 1.

three moneys, 50, 30 and 20 per cent. 
To be eligible for the Squier money-back system, a

The special events at double targets and the Eastern 
Handicap are separate from the regular program, and 
it is optional with the contestant whether or not he 
makes entry for them. The Squier money-back system 
does not apply to the double-target events and the East¬ 
ern handicap. 
New Jersey State Association. 
Gunners from States who are not friendly with New 
Jersey will be barred from shooting in that State in the 
future. The marksmen in this State want reciprocity 
and voted to that effect at the annual meeting the other 
day after the day’s shoot was over. Until the New 
Jersey State tournament gunners from other States rvere 
welcome to shoot in any tournaments that were he'd in 
this State. Jersey marksmen, however, were barred 
from shooting in other State tournaments_ unless they 
were members of some club in the State in which the 
affair was being held. The new rule was passed unani¬ 
mously. and it hits directly at New York and Pennsyl¬ 
vania, as Jersey gunners are barred in both of these 
States unless members of State clubs. 
During the first two days of the last tournament, 
out-of-town gunners, especially New York and Phila¬ 
delphia men, won the majority of the prizes. 
Eight new clubs elected to the Association are: 
Salem Gun Club, Speedway Gun Club, Atlantic Gun 
Club, Mt. Holly Gun Club, Riverside Gun Club, New 
Jersey State Rifle Association of Sea Girt, State Fisk 
and Protective Gun Club and the Belvidere Gun Club. 
Where the next shoot will be held was not decided 
upon and was left for the officers of the Association to 
decide. 
A few changes were made in the officers of the as¬ 
sociation. George H. Pierce, of Jersey City, was re¬ 
elected President while B. M. Shanley, Jr., of the 
Speedway Gun Club, was elected First Vice-President 
in place of John S. Fanning. Frank I. Heneline, of 
Camden, was re-elected Second V’ice-President. The 
Board of Trustees will be composed of F. R. Wickes, 
H. W. Mathews and James F. Murphy.
