sulted in a victory for Delaware by the large lead of 68

tended to the joys and sorrows of the cashier’s office, and

Mr. Wm. Dutcher, of Paterson, writes us: “I have 
had so many responses to my newspaper ads., which 
have been given to the Jackson Park Club for this shoot, 
and the number of inquiries from the large crowd of 
shooters at Saturday’s shoot, that I feel much gratified 
at the prospects for the shoot of Feb. 10. If signs don’t 
fail and the weather is anything as we hope to be, I 
can, without fail, predict the largest shoot ever pulled 
off in these parts. This prediction is for local shooters 
only. We know of many Passaic and other shooters who 
intend to be on hand. We expect the Caldwell Gun 
Club also among the others.” 
R 
The teams of the Passaic County League, which will 
contest on the grounds of the Jackson Park Gun Club 
on Saturday of this week are those of the Jackson Park 
and Northside gun clubs. In addition to the other

day by the Jackson Park Gun Club, Mr. Wm. Dutcher, 
the energetic manager, will arrange a five-man team 
match, between the visiting professionals and members 
of the home club.

HARRISBURG, Jan. 31—A meeting of the Board of 
Directors of the Pennsylvania State Sportsmen’s Asso- 
ciation was held at the office of H. M. F. Worden, the 
president of the Association, to-day. There were present 
H. M. F. Worden, Harrisburg, president; Hon. Fred A. 
Godcharles, Milton; Mr. C. M. Kramlich, Allentown, 
and two proxies for Mr. J. O’H. Denny and Mr. F. M. 
Eames, same being represented by H. M. F. Worden 
and Hon. Fred Godcharles respectively. 
This meeting was called on account of the West Branch 
Rod and Gun Club of Williamsport forfeiting its right 
to hold the annual State shoot at Williamsport. Upon 
an appeal of Mr. Godcharles to the Board of Directors, 
it was unanimously decided to hold the tournament at 
Milton under the auspices of the Milton Rod and Gun 
Club, on May 15, 16, 17 and 18. The shoot will be held 
on the grounds of the Milton Driving Park and Fair 
Association, and both targets and live birds will be shot 
in a four days’ programme. : 
The Milton Rod and Gun Club is preparing to make 
this tournament one of the most interesting and attrae- 
tive annual shoots held for years past. Mr. Godcharles 
states that it is an admirable place to hold the annual 
State shoot, it having every facility for the accommoda- 
tion and comfort of the delegates, as well as being cen- 
{rally located in the State. It is expected that this will 
be one of the largest turnouts in the history of shooting, 
it being the first time that Milton has had the oppor- 
tunity of holding a State tournament; and no efforts will 
be spared to make the affair a success.
