We commend to the careful consideration of our read¬ 
ers, the correspondence of Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, pub¬ 
lished this week in our Trap columns. It is the latest 
contribution concerning the status of the amateur in 
trapshooting, and coming from such a recognized author¬ 
ity, it voices the Interstate Association’s mature ruling 
on this constantly recurring question.

C. G. Blandford, Secretary of the New York State

week. He informed us that all the reports indicated 
active interest in the forthcoming State shoot, particu¬

the shoot is all about. Secrecy is not consistent with good 
press work.
