ciation to interest itself in a gun club he was form¬ 
ing and which will have shooting grounds in Van 
Ccrtlandt Park, New York City. It was explained to 
Mr. Suramerson that the Association, as an organiza¬ 
tion, could not interest itself in the proposition and 
that the proper way to handle the matter would be to 
take it up with the members of the Association as in¬ 
dividual concerns. 
The Tournament Committee presented a plan cover¬ 
ing a change in the distribution of that part of the 
Registered Tournament Fund allotted to Registered 
State Tournaments. The matter was discussed at length 
and, by resolution, adopted. Briefly outlined, the plan 
calls for the forty-eight States to be placed in four 
classes, namely A. B, C, and D, and for the Associa¬ 
tion’s contributions to State Tournaments to be made 
in accordance with this classification. Each State 
Tournament in Class “A” will receive $250; each State 
Tournament in Class “B” will receive $225; each State 
Tournament in Class “C” will receive $200; each State 
Tournament in Class “D” will receive $150. 
By resolution, it was decided to set aside $2,000 of 
the Registered Tournament Fund of 1916 to be ex¬ 
pended for trophies to be given to all new gun clubs, 
or re-organized gun clubs which have not been shoot¬ 
ing for twelve months prior to the re-organization, 
which have affiliated themselves with their respective 
State Associations. 
By resolution, it was decided to continue in 1916 the 
same general Registered Tournament policy as was 
in force in 1915. By this ruling, with the exception 
of State Tournaments, Leagues of Gun Clubs and 
Special Organizations, all applications to hold Reg¬ 
istered Tournaments carrying requests for contributions 
must be made on or before February 15th, and no ap¬ 
plication will be passed upon before said date. 
By resolution, it was decided to print in booklet 
form the official averages of 1915, the booklet to con¬ 
tain a brief digest of 1915 records, Grand American and 
Subsidiary Handicap data, and other matter of inter¬ 
est to the trapshooting fraternity in general. This 
booklet will be distributed gratis to gun clubs holding 
Registered Tournaments and to other interested 
parties. 
By resolution, it was decided to present a trophy to 
the winner of the High Amateur Average of 1915. 
By resolution, it was decided to allow women 
to compete at future Grand American Trapshooting 
Tournaments. 
Upon motion. _ duly made and seconded, the direct¬ 
ors’ meeting adjourned at 4:45 P. M., to meet the fol¬ 
lowing day at 10 A. M., at the Hotel Astor, New York 
City. 
The adjourned meeting of the directors was called 
to order at 10:40 A. M., December 3rd, with Presi¬ 
dent Doremus in the chair. New business was at 
once taken up where left off. 
By resolution, it was decided that, in addition to 
the high gun trophies now awarded in the Grand 
American Handicap, yardage trophies shall be pro¬ 
vided for each yard mark, said yardage trophies to 
be competed for only by contestants that are allotted 
the same particular mark, and that no contestant shall 
be eligible to win more than one trophy.

Lisbon, N. D.; D. D. Slater, Grand Rapids, Mich.;

of Keithsburg, Ills., were read, ordered to be filed, 
and the secretary directed to extend the thanks of 
the Association to the several gentlemen for the in¬ 
terest taken in the welfare of the sport of trapshooting. 
By resolution, it was decided that one make of trap 
and one make of target only shall be used at the 
Grand American Handicap Tournaments in 1916 and 
1917-
