A great many others made scores that were not. handed 
in. This match, being a novelty, excited great interest, 
and certainly used up the ammunition and the blank 
backing where the bullets struck. 
The distribution of the prizes took place at 3 P. M. 
Saturday, and cash and merchandise were paid out to 
the value of $1,500. All cash prizes were paid in gold. 
The gold medal given the winner in the championship 
event is larger than a silver dollar, and is suspended 
from two bars, on which are engraved “Champion, 1907.” 
A meeting was held on Thursday evening, at which 
Dr. A. A. Stillman, of Syracuse, was appointed chair¬ 
man, and the directors of the League were elected, viz.: 
C. H. McChesney, Geo. F. Loder, J. S. Mullan, J. B. 
Mullan, all of, Columbia Rifle Club, Rochester; L. P. 
Ittel, Iroquois Rifle Club, Pittsburg; Owen Smith, 
Miller Rifle Club, Hoboken, N. J.; A. F. Laudensack, 
Winchester Rod and Gun Club, New Haven, Conn.; 
L. C. Buss, Zettler Rifle Club, New York City; A. 
Sweeting, Warren Rifle Club, Warren, Pa.; A. A. Still- 
Hubalek, Williamsburg Shooting Society, Brooklyn; W. 
A. Tewes, Cottage Rifle Club, Jersey City, N. J.; E. W. 
man, Syracuse, N. Y.; Chas. Newton, Buffalo, N. Y. 
Following the election of directors, John T. Humphrey 
nominated for President of League, C. H. McChesney; 
for Vice-President, Geo. F. Loder; for Secretary, J. S. 
Mullan; for Corresponding Secretary, J. B. Mullan. 
This ticket was unanimously elected. 
It was voted to hold the fourth annual tournament in 
Rochester under the auspices of the Columbia Rifle 
Club. All speak in complimentary terms of the man¬ 
agement of the tournament, and the accommodation 
extended to the visiting sportsmen. The Columbia Rifle 
Club thinks that with its experience this year added to 
what they can learn during the year to come, it can 
offer still better accommodations, especially in an in¬ 
crease in the number of ranges, so that it expects to 
make the next contest the very best that ever was held 
by the League. 
Capt. W. A. Tewes was troubled with neuralgia of the 
face; also he was using a new outfit, consequently was 
not in his usual good form. 
One of our club members who at different times dur¬ 
ing the week had tried his hand at the shooting with 
poor success, made up his mind to get there on the last 
lap, so he went to bed Saturday afternoon and slept 
until 5 P. M. Then he came down to the club to do 
some business, and found that the shoot had closed at 
3 P. M. He said that he had supposed it was to con¬ 
tinue until 11 P. M. So much for not keeping posted. 
I. H. Andrews, Gen. Shooting Master.
