It is reported that game laws of Florida are re¬ 
peatedly broken, and same is true of other States. It 
is hard to educate all shooters to the necessity of up¬

Sunday. 
One of the good things that is announced by the

taken during the summer. The Kansas State tournament 
wili be the event of the West this year; $400 has been 
guaranteed. The traps will be set on the race track 
where the spectators can occupy the grand stand. There 
is no better place for such a shoot as the G. A. H. than

Following are the results of a telegraph match shot 
by our club with Montreal. _ 
There is a good excuse for just one low score—that of 
F. S. Mayo in the match with the Canada boys. We 
were shy one man for a ten-man team, and the ever- 
accommodating Fred, who has been devoting all his at¬ 
tention for several months to the rifle, borrowed a six- 
shooter and waded in. It was rather an eyesore to him 
to see his name at the bottom of the list, when, had 
he been in his old time form that position would have 
been occupied by some one more deserving. 
Low scores were the rule, with few exceptions, and 
now a series of three matches with our old friends up 
in Portland, Me., will be shot to encourage them a little. 
If there are other clubs looking for easy victims per¬ 
haps the boys can be persuaded- to assist them to a 
winning place. . . 
We were very pleasantly surprised to receive from our 
Montreal friends a handsome souvenir spoon of the 
Montreal Amateur Athletic Association, to go to the 
high man on our team. W. H. Freeman captures this 
memento and we are all pleased at this courtesy on the 
part of the Canada boys. Had they been on the ground 
at the close of the match it is possible that we could 
have shown our appreciation in a satisfactory manner.^
