irand American Handicap to go to both places. Cana- 
ian Indians, you know, have to work part of the yea , 
nd cannot afford to run around to shoots all the time, 
lad it been held at any other time of the year a much 
arger number would have been present. Upon behalf 
if the Canadian Indians, I invite you to a joint shoot, 
nd we will do all in our power, as I know you would, 
o make it a great success and thus put every other 
ournament, with the possible exception of the Grand 
American Handicap, in the shade. 
The visitors then retired, the orchestra playing and 
Canadian Indians singing “For they are jolly good

"Thomas A. Duff, High Scribe. 
A telegram was also received from Mr. Forest H. 
Conover (Chief Dave Hawk), Leamington the first High 
Chief of the tribe, stating that on account of Mrs. Con¬ 
over lying on her deathbed it was impossible tor hint 
to be present. Great sorrow was expressed for our 
Chief, and the High Scribe instructed to send a suitable 
letter of reply. , , , 
Moved by Chief Level Head (D. McMackon), seconded 
by Chief Short Wing (Geo. L. Vivian) and 
Resolved, That the Council of Chiefs be instructed to

American Indians, and if possible complete satisfactory 
arrangements for an amalgamated shoot, to be held at 
Niagara-on-the-Lake. 
The following gentlemen made application for member¬ 
ship, and the High Scr.be was instructed to place them 
upon the waiting list, as fifty members is the limit, and

annual tournament on the grounds of the Queen’s Royal 
Hotel, Niagara-on-the-Lake, and to communicate as soon 
as possible with the American Indians regarding a joint 
shoot. 
Presentation of Prizes. 
The prizes were presented at the club house immedi¬ 
ately after the Indian cup was won by Mr. W. P. I hom¬ 
son. High Chief Geo. McGill called upon High Chief 
Tom A. Marshall to present this cup, but as he was 
absent, requested Mr. Edward Banks (Chief Bunco) to 
act in his place. Mr. Banks made a splendid address 
in making the presentation, and stated that he had 
never seen 25 targets better ground out by any one. He 
expressed his great pleasure at being present, and de¬ 
clared that the spot was an ideal one for a tournament. 
The other prizes were presented by High Scribe Thos. 
A. Duff, but the writer must refrain from making any 
comment upon the manner in which that" duty was per¬ 
formed. Suffice it to say, that the prizes were duly 
handed over. 
Presentation to J. A. R. Elliot. 
After lunch on Friday“dear old” Jim Elliott was led 
into the headquarters of the Toronto bunch for a little 
quiet talk by Mr. Thomas A. Duff, when in strolled, one 
by one, six other Toronto boys. Immediately Mr. Geo. 
W. McGill arose and quite shocked Mr. Elliott by 
saying: “Jim, the boys here assembled have an old score 
to settle with you, and it was thought that it would be 
better to settle it now, so as to get it off their minds. 
For many years you have been coming to Canada and 
by your gentlemanly conduct, your courteous treatment 
and good fellowship have endeared yourself to us all. 
For some time a few of us in Toronto, who have been 
particularly associated with you, thought of settling up 
the old score, and the present is a very fitting time to 
■do so. Therefore, upon behalf of those here assembled 
I ask you to accept this watch fob as a mark of their 
respect and admiration for yourself, not as the repre¬ 
sentative of any company, but as a man and a sports¬ 
man, and we trust that you may long be spared to wear 
it and bring it with you for many years to come to the 
shooting tournaments of the Dominion of Canada. Re¬ 
member, too. that we are your friends, you are always 
welcome, and when you look upon this fob we trust you 
will remember the givers.” 
The writer has never seen a man more taken by sur¬ 
prise than Mr. Elliott was. For several minutes no one 
could speak, but all silently pressed the hand of as true 
a sportsman and as warm a friend as mortal man could 
wish to have. When words came, Mr. Elliott fer¬ 
vently thanked those present for the gift, and assured 
each and every one that it would be appreciated and 
honored all through life. 
The fob was a five-pointed gold star, surrounded with 
maple leaves, surmounted by two repeating shotguns. 
Around the outside was a blue enameled circle witli tne 
words “1908, Toronto.” In the center was a bluerock, 
enamelled to color, and set with a very handsome 
diamond. On the back was engraved Presented to 
J. A. R. Elliott, Esq., as a token of , es \ e , el ?..., by T ,- hl T s 
Toronto friends—Thomas A. Duff, Geo. \Y. McGil11, D. J. 
Marsh, Geo. L. Vivian, G. M. Dunk, Geo. J. Mason, Jr., 
Wakefield.” 
P. 
Notes. 
On Saturday quite a number of the contestants en¬ 
gaged in golf and tennis and thoroughly enjoyed them- 
S Thief King Pin is quite a golf player. He won about 
half a dozen games, but when he and Chief Signmak 
bucked, as partners, up against Chief Bunco and Lhiet 
White Hair, they met their Waterloo. . 
One of the archives of the Queen s Royal Hotel is a 
page cut out of the register and suitably framed, ihis 
is dated Oct. 12. 1901, and bears the names and signa¬ 
tures of H. R. IT. the Prince of Wales, the Princess of 
Whales and the entire Royal Staff who accompanied them 
to Canada. Another page has been torn out of the 
register and will be sent to the picture framer. It is 
dated Sept. 11, 1908, and bears > the signature Mr. 
Edward Banks, Wilmington, Del.” 
“Step lightly; lie down, Lizzie —E. J. Marsh. 
High Chief McGill makes an ideal presiding officer. 
His welcome to the American Indians was heartily ap- 
P 'There" was a job put up upon Chief King Pin at 
Columbus, but it failed to materialize, as he w-as un¬ 
avoidably absent. However, it came o-ff with great effect 
on Thursday morning, when Chief Long lalk pinned 
upon his sweater a medal made out of the whole hide 
of a Texas steer, bearing the words, U. M. C. Special 
Medal G. A. IT., 1908, Columbus, O. Won by Tom 
Duff.”’ Tom wore it during the whole shoot, it was 
all he won, too. , , , 
Dr. Culver was the first name on the penalty board. 
He wrote a letter to his wife and put four cents in 
American stamps upon it. J. Mowell Hawkins wrote 
to Seneca Lewis and did the same thing. He explained 
that he could not help it, as he only had six cents 
and no one would trust him. , „ . 
Mr L R Cole, manager of the Queen s Royal, gave 
great attention to his guests and the social side of the 
shoot was a great success. Every want was attended to. 
The Canadian representative of the Dupont 1 owder 
Company makes a fairly good caddie. His only fault is 
an inclination to talk back too much. 
Ed. G. White was the recipient of many congratu- 
lations. It’s a girl. , , 
Where were the Quebec boys? Not one of them turned 
up. The Tercentenary must have been too much for 
Tvs'" the shooters left the hotel on Saturday night the
