The adjourned meeting of the directors was called to 
order at 10 A. M., Dec. 9, with President Hunter in 
the chair. New Business was at once taken up where 
left off. 
A plan covering a change in policy of the Association 
was presented, discussed at great length, and by resolu¬ 
tion, adopted. 
Briefly outlined, the plan calls for doing away with 
program advertising by the members of the Interstate 
Association; the distribution by the Association of 
$20,000 or more each year among contestants who take 
part in registered tournaments; the registration of no 
tournament unless the applicant club is a member in 
good standing of a State association; the registration of 
all tournaments applied for by State associations,' and 
the reduction by about one-half in the number of tourna¬ 
ments registered in any one year. The object in view 
is the organization of State associations where none 
now exist, and an increased interest in those already 
organized. The details of the plan have not yet been 
fully worked out, but the committee in charge hope 
to have the matter in shape to give it publicity within 
the next thirty days. 
By resolution, it was decided to guarantee the winner 
of the 1911 Grand American Handicap, $1,000 in cash 
and a trophy. 
By resolution, it was decided to guarantee the win¬ 
ners of the Association's 1911 Subsidiary Handicap each 
$250 in cash and a trophy. 
By resolution, it was decided to discontinue the Pre¬ 
liminary Handicap at the subsidiary tournaments given 
by the Association, but not at the Grand American 
Handicap tournament. 
By resolution, it was decided to change the names of 
the amateur and professional championship events at 
the Grand American Handicap tournament to “The 
National Amateur Championship’’ and “The National 
Professional Championship.” 
By resolution, it was decided that the National Ama¬ 
teur Championship and the National Professional Cham¬ 
pionship shall be shot at 200 single targets. 
By resolution, it was decided to establish a Double 
Target championship event at the Grand American 
Handicap tournament, said event to be shot at 50 double 
targets. 
The advisability of changing the standard distance for 
trapshooting from 16yds. to 18yds. was discussed at 
some length, but no change was made. The distance 
remains the same as heretofore, namely, 16yds. 
By resolution, it was decided that in 1911 the Southern 
Handicap shall be giver, at Charlotte, N. C.; the East¬ 
ern Handicap at Wilmington. Del., and the Western 
Handicao at Omaha. Neb. The .places for holding the 
Grand American Handicap, the Pacific Coast Handicap 
and the Post-Season tournament will be decided upon 
later.

Purdue University Gun Club. 
Lafayette. Ind., Dec. 3.-—-A trapshooting club has been 
formed at Purdue University. The club started with 
an enrollment of about fifty members. From the in¬ 
terest shown thus far we think the club will reach the 
200 mark before the present school year is over. The 
first shoot was held Dec. 3. with the most unfavorable 
weather conditions, as it snowed most of the time. As 
trap work was new to most of the members of the club, 
no verv good records were made; however, several broke 
over 20 out of 25. C. E. Trotter, Sec’y-Treas.

WINCHESTER 
Lever Action Repeating Shotgun 
10 <i,U (i I s 
For wild fowl shooting the io gauge Winchester Lever Action 
Shotgun always has been and always will be popular. It is a“game 
getter” and the only io gauge repeater on the market. It is bored 
to handle either black or smokeless powder equally well, and for 
strong, hard and accurate shooting it cannot be beaten. The 
action of the gun is strong and positive and not apt to get out of 
order from exposure or any ordinary handling. In iact ; these 
guns have stood all kinds of use and abuse for years and given 
universal satisfaction. If you are going fowling, take one along.

The Fred Macaulay Business Men’s Gun Club. 
Eagle Gun Club. 
Newark, N. J.. Dec. 7. — Members of the Fred Ma¬ 
caulay Business Men’s Gun Club experienced the rough¬ 
est weather yesterday in the history of the club. It 
snowed and was cold, and the wind blew a “mile a 
minute,” making the white flyers do some funny stunts. 
■It was laughable to see the expressions on the faces on 
some of the shooters when they thought they had taken 
deliberate aim on straightaway targets. Just as they 
pulled the trigger, the bird would dart 3ft. higher than 
was expected, with a gust of wind, and of course a miss 
was the result. Consequently, scores were not as high 
as they generally are. 
Barney M. Shanley, Jr., who is almost always the first 
member at the club house on Tuesdays, had his weather 
eye with him. and put the Indian sign on the targets, 
topping all the other shooters, and was high average 
gunner of the day by smashing on an average of 19 out 
of a possible 25 targets shot at. Fred Macaulay was 
second, with 15, and William Stengel was third, with 
14, which was good shooting, considering the weather. 
The members of the Macaulay Gun Club pride them¬ 
selves on never having missed one of their regular 
Tuesday afternoon shoots since the club was organized, 
and from the attendance yesterday, it was predicted 
that they never would miss any. So, rain or shine, there 
is not a chance to be disappointed on a Tuesday. 
Manoa, Pa., Dec. 10. — There were nineteen contestants 
and it was one of the largest shoots held by the club. 
The reflected light from the snow made difficult shoot¬ 
ing. Four tied on ten straight.
