Canadian Indian Tournament. 
TuE first annual tournament of the Canadian Indians 
was held at Montreal on May 24 and 25, and was an 
unqualified success. This tribe was formed only one 
year ago, but has made much progress, and the manner 
in which the tournament was conducted left nothing to 
be desired. Everything was run with clock-like precision, 
and all shooting was over by 5 P. M. each day.. 
The official headquarters of the band was the Place 
Viger Hotel, operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway. 
This is one of Canada’s finest hostelries, and here all the 
shooters were to be found. 
A very large number of squaws and pappooses were 
present. and they vied with each other in their efforts 
to make the wives and children of the visiting com- 
petitors enjoy themselves. 
Three sets of Bowron’s traps were used, and his targets 
thrown. Mr. Bowron was on hand and personally looked 
after this part of the arrangements. Expressions of sat- 
isfaction at the manner in which the traps worked, as well 
as the breaking qualities of the birds, were heard on 
all sides. 
The tournament was the best ever held in eastern 
Canada, and should do a great deal-to boom shooting in 
this portion of the Dominion. 
_The trade was represented by Messrs. J. H. Cameron, 
Orange, N. J.; J. A. R. Elliott, New York; J. Mowell 
Hawkins, Baltimore, Md.; Hon. Tom A. _ Marshall, 
Keithsburg, Ill.; Mr. John S. Cole, Detroit; Mr. A. H. 
Durston, Syracuse, N. Y.; Messrs. E. G. White, Ottawa, 
and Forest H. Conover, Leamington, Ont, and Mr. F. 
H. Halford, Montreal The presence of these gentlemen 
added very materially to the pleasure of all in attendance. 
The office was in charge of Messrs. J. Mowel Hawkins, 
Baltimore, Md. (through the kindness and courtesy of 
the Winchester Repeating Arms Co.), Alex. Dey and 
George H. Cashmore, Toronto. These gentlemen gave 
the very best of satisfaction. 
The Canadian Indians had 1,500 souvenirs, which were 
distributed among all present, as well as on the street 
ears and on the streets. It took the form of an aluminum 
Indian about 8%4in. long, on the back of which were these 
words: ‘At Montreal. First Annual Tournament of the 
Canadian Indians, May 24th and 25th, 1906.”’ This was 
fastened to the coat by means of a silk scarlet cord. 
Lae were very much appreciated and eagerly sought 
after. 
Each competitor, guest, official and squaw was pre- 
sented with an oxidized medallion representing the head 
of an Indian in full dress, and around the edge were the 
same words as on the souvenir. This was fastened to a 
crossbar by two small chains, and on the crossbar was 
the designation of each recipient. This medallion was 
pronounced by all present as the finest badge ever pre- 
sented at a tournament in America. They were highly 
appreciated by every one. 
May 24, First Day. 
This was Victoria Day. The sun shone brightly, and 
there was a fairly strong wind from the northeast. All 
day the grounds were crowded with spectators, who took 
a great interest in all that was done. The targets were 
thrown a good 50yds., which made the game a fairly 
stiff proposition. 
The tournament was run on the handicap system, from 
16 to 20yds., but all the professionals were allowed to 
shoot from 18yd. mark, as they shot for targets only. 
Professional high average for the first day was won 
by J. Mowell Hawkins, with 194 out of 200; J. A. R. 
Elliott was second with 192; A. H. Durston third with 
190, and Hon. Tom A. Marshall fourth with 186. 
_Amateur high average, which took with it the handsome 
Clarendon Hotel cup, was won by Walter H. Ewing, 
President Montreal. Gun Club, with 189 out of 200; D. 
McMackon, Highgate, Ont., was second, and took the 
Bailey cup, with 186, and Thomas A. Duff, J. E. Jen- 
nings and P, Wakefield were tied for third place with 
185 each. 
The following are the scores, with the handicap dis- 
tance of each competitor:

May 25, Second Day. 
The early morning was quite wet, and shooting was not 
commenced until about 11 o’clock, when it stopped rain- 
ing, although it was dull and cloudy. The light was very 
bad. indeed, with a somewhat strong east wind. The 
smoke from the Montreal Water Works hung over the 
grounds considerably, all of which made the conditions 
much more difficult than on the opening day. : 
A feature of tlve afternoon was the score of squad No. 
5 in event No. 7. This squad was composed of Messrs. 
D. McMackon, Highgate; Thomas Upton, Hamilton; 
H. Scane, Ridgetown; A. W. Throop and F. A. Heney, 
Ottawa. They broke 99 out of 100 targets shot at, and the 
missed one was very badly dusted. “‘That’s going some.” 
It. was not at all uncommon to have a squad go out 
with 98. 
Professional high average for the second day was won 
by J. A. R. Elliott with 196 out of 200; J. Mowell 
Hawkins was second with 195, and Messrs. Marshall and 
Durston tied for third with 188 each. Mr. Elliott was 
unfortunate enough to miss two targets in succession in 
the Jast event. However, he gave a magnificent exhibi- 
tion of shooting. 
Amateur high average for the second day was won by 
Mr. A. ‘W. Westover, Sutton Junction, P. Q., with a 
score of 193 out of 200. This carried with it the Ithaca 
Gun. Second amateur average went to Mr. A. W. 
Throop, Ottawa, with 191, and he won the cup presented 
by Dr. W. J. C. Tomalin, Deloraine, Manitoba; Walter 
H. Ewing, Montreal, and Edward G. White, Ottawa, tied 
for third place with 189. The scores follow:

Professional high average for the tournament was 
secured by J. Mowell Hawkins with 389 out of 400; J. A. 
R. nt was second with 388, and A. H. Durston third 
with 378. ; 
Amateur high average for the tournament went to 
Walter H. Ewing with 3878 out of 400; A. W. Westover 
second with 375, and B. F. Paine third with 374. Mr. 
Ewing’s win carried with it the handsome gold and silver 
cup presented by the Toronto Indians, and valued at 
$200. This cup is of sterling silver, while on the front of 
it in solid gold is applied an Indian in full costume sur- 
rounded by maple leaves, and below it, also in gold, the 
crest of the tribe. 
The Walter H. Ewing Cup. 
This was a massive silver cup on a large base, and 
was open to Canadian Indians only, who were required 
to shoot for it in full Indian costume. There was one 
event of 25 targets each day, the total score to count. 
The appearatwe of the members in war paint caused great 
amusement to the spectators. The costumes were varied 
and unique, sometimes expensive and sometimes not. 
However, it was the event of the meting. The cup was 
finally won by Mr. E. G. White, Ottawa, one of our 
popular Canadian representatives of DuPont powder. 
Mr. White made the exceedingly good score of 49 out of 
50. Here are the scores: .

Annual Meeting. 
The annual meeting of the tribe took place in the 
Council Hall at the Place Viger Hotel on Victoria Day 
at 8:45 P. M. Every member present at the shoot was 
on his log. High Chief Dave Hawk (Forest H. Con- 
over) was on the big log. The pipe of peace was smoked 
by all, the members, and then Dave rose to the occasion 
and opened the pow-wow with “heap plenty talk,” in 
which he congratulated the members on the success of 
the first tournament, as well as upon the good attendance. 
At the close of his ‘‘talk’”’ a fleet-footed runner from 
the camp, who had been out scouting, announced, that 
Chief Long Talk (Hon. Tom A.-Marshall) and Chief 
Brook Trout (J. A. R. Elliott), two chiefs from a tribe 
of friendly Indians, were approaching the council hall 
bearing glad tidings from our brothers to the south. 
Chief King Pin was at once sent out to find them, and 
he located them in the camp holding conversation with 
our squaws. They were at once disturbed, taken to the 
council hall and formally presented to the tribe in due 
and ancient form. Loud were the grunts of approval.
