Noses were rubbed and the pipe smoked, whereupon they 
were escorted to two logs of honor, which had hastily 
been prepared for them. High Chief Dave Hawk called 
upon Chief Level Head to present the address of wel- 
come, which he did, to the great satisfaction of all. High 
Chief Long Talk was first to reply. On rising he .was 
greeted with war-whoops, grunts and other marks of 
approval. He made an eloquent, cordial and friendly 
reply, and assured the Canadian tribe that his band was 
at all times ready to help us in peace or in war. He ex- 
pressed his pleasure at being present, his surprise at 
the perfect arrangements for the shoot, as well as at 
the magnificence of the cups and souvenirs, and assured 
us that with one year over our heads we had made as 
much progress as his tribe had in five years. 
Chief Brook Trout (‘Dear old Jim,” he is 
ately called in Canada) next rose to speak, and was 
boisterously received. Brook Trout said. he was too 
full (lump in throat) to speak, but wished to say how 
pleased he always was to come to Canada. The -more 
he came the better he liked to come. He also congrat- 
ulated the tribe upon the progress it had made. 
These two noted chiefs wre then returnd to the 
squaws fer safe-keeping until the council should ad- 
journ, when they would again be taken in hand by the 
braves. 
Considerable business was disposed of. Sixteen new 
members were elected as follows: Messrs. J. H. Rain- 
ville, and R. B. Hutchinson, Montreal; M. E. Fletcher, 
F. B. Vallance and H. A. Horning, Hamilton; George 
M. Dunk, Alex. Dey, Dr. George G. Jordan, and C. D. 
Ten Eyck, Toronto; H. Scane, Ridgetown; H. des 
Rivieres, Quebec; Roy Luck, Point Edward; Dr. H. P. 
Stockwell, Sherbrooke; W. G. Doherty, Dr. J. Gunn and 
Dr. C. E. Holmes, Clinton. 
The Dominion of Canada Trapshooting Association was 
presented with a silver cup for competition at its annual 
tournament in August next, the cup to be known as “the 
Canadian Indians’ trophy.” 
No decision was arrived at as to the date or place of 
holding the next annual tournament, but it will go to the 
city or town whose club offers the best inducements. 
The date and place will be decided at a meeting of all 
Indians present at the Dominion tournament on Aug. 
8, 9 and 10, in Hamilton. 
The ‘election of officers resulted as follows: High 
Chief, D. McMackon, Highgate, Ont.; High Vice-Chief, 
T. M. Craig, Sherbrooke, P. Q0.; High Scribe and Chief 
of Wampum, Thomas A. Duff, Toronto; Council of 
Chiefs, Thomas Upton, Hamilton; George McGill, 
Toronto; H. Des Rivieres, Quebec; F. A. Heney, C. G. 
Thompson, Sherbrooke; Walter H. Ewing,. Montreal, 
and W. A. Smith, Kenperville. 
Votes of thanks were passed to the donors of cups and 
money prizes, as well as to the retiring officers.

Presentation of Prizes. 
On Friday evening the small supper room of the Place 
Viger was a blaze of glory and crowded. The braves and 
many of the competitors were in evening dress, while 
the squaws and pappooses were handsomely gowned, Mr. 
Thomas A. Duff was requested to act as toastmaster, and 
opened the proceedings with an address of welcome, The 
first cup was presented by him to Edward G. White, 
Ottawa. This was the Walter H. Ewing cup, open to 
Canadian Indians only. It was immediately filled with 
stuff out of bottles that make a noise when the cork is 
pulled like a three-dram load of DuPont. Mr. F. H. 
Conover presented the Clarendon Hotel cup to Mr. Wal- 
ter H. Ewing. More popping. Then Hon. Tom A. 
Marshall, High Chief American Indians, presented to 
Mr. D. McMackon, High Chief Canadian Indians, the 
Bailey cup. In the course of his remarks Mr. Marshall 
referred in glowing terms to our success, and expressed 
the hope that in the very near future the American and 
Canadian ‘tribes would hold 4A joint tournament and 
pow-wow. 
The Ithaca gun was presented to Mr. A. W. West- 
over by Mr. F. H. Conover, the Dr. Tomalin cup to 
Mr. A. W. Throop by Mr. J. A. R. Elliott, and the 
Toronto cup to Mr. Walter Ewing by Thomas Upton, 
president of the Dominion Trapshooting Association. 
Mr. Upton invited all to the tournament in August, and 
thanked the tribe for the cup donated to the Association. 
By this time corks were popping like a squad shooting 
at the score. The ladies and children retired, and the 
entertainment proceeded with speeches, songs and 
stories from every one present. During the course of the 
evening Mr. Thomas A. Duff, on behalf of the Canadian 
Indians, presented to Hon. Tom A. Marshall for the 
American Indians, a silver cup, to be competed for at 
their annual tournament in Virginia in August next. 
Chiefs Long Talk and Brook Trout feelingly and elo- 
quently replied. 
From social, as well as sporting points of view, this 
tournament was a magnificent success, and we all are 
looking forward to the 1907 meet. 
Canadian Arrows, 
THE first annual pow-wow of the Canadian Indians was 
held in Montreal, Canada, May 24 and 25, and goes down 
in history as the red-letter shoot of the Provinces. The 
success with which this shoot has met, is’ a guarantee 
that the annual meet will be perpetuated, and as the 
years roll on, will be looked forward to by not only the 
Canadians, but their American cousins, as one of the 
features of each year in the trapshooting world. 
The Canadian Indians have been organized less than a 
year, and this is the first tournament to their credit. The 
organization has for its object the promotion of trap- 
shooting, closely allying the features of good fellowship 
and sociability therewith. The above combinations are 
recognized by all true sportsmen as being the funda- 
mental principle that make trapshooting a success, and 
recognized as one of the “cleanest”? lines of sport in- 
dulged in. 
Upon a most cordial and hearty invitation, Mr. J. A. 
U.S. A. 
114-116 Market St., San Francisco. 






R. Elliott, Chief Brook Trout, and) Tom A. Marshall, 
Chief Long Talk, were there, representing the American 
Indians. On our arrival in Montreal, postal cards of 
welcome from different sections of the Dominion were 
handed us by the courteous clerk of the Hotel Place, 
Viger, headquarters for the Indians. Then, as the trains 
rolled in, the Canadian Indians and Provincial shooters 
arrived, and introductions were unnecessary. The glad 
hand was extended, peace pipe passed, and smoke rolled 
therefrom until the sun set in the west; and if I have 
been correctly informed, rose in the east the mosning 
of the day succeeded the close of the shoot. For further 
evidence along this line, the writer refers to Chief Brook 
Trout. 
The shoot was handled in a way that certainly re- 
flected great credit, and went through without a hitch. 
Each day the Canadian Indians appeared in costume 
and war paint. Many of said costumes were most elab- 
orate, and were worn with dignity. 
The squaws and pappooses were there in number, and 
were most cordial and congenial, and were of material 
assistance with the social side. 
At a meeting held as an evidence of their good will 
and regard for the American Indians, a cup was pre- 
sented by the Canadian Indians, to be contested for at their 
ennual tournament, to be held in Parkersburg, W. Va., 
Aug. 7, 8, 9, and 10, which will be given for high average 
to’ any contestant. 
Nothing was left undone to make us feel that we were 
among friends. At a love feast, held on the evening of 
the second day, in which a heart-to-heart talk was in- 
dulged, the British and American flags were so closely 
entwined during the speeches made, until it seemed as 
if the line between the two countries known as the 
border, was forgotten. , . 
To enumerate each member of the Canadian tribe who 
was courteous and kind would be to name the tribe as 
an entirety. The chairman of the committee on enter- 
tainment, Tom Duff (Chief King Pin), was surely 
properly named. While a giant in stature, he still has 
one trouble, his body is not large enough for his heart. 
Ex-High Chief F. N, Conover was always much in evi- 
dence, and present on all occasions. High Chief Dave 
McMackon, Chief Level Head, will be at the head of 
council during the ensuing year, and I know he will be 
faithful to the charge, and a chief for whom the trail will 
not of necessity have to be blazed. Chas , 
As High Chief of the American Indians, I desire to 
invite you individually, collectively and in family groups 
“warriors, sqquaws and pappooses—also all Canadian 
shooters, to come and participate in our annual pow-wow 
and tournament. Come and smoke the pipe of peace, and 
visit our tepees, hunt with us, pull our latch strings. 
Come this year, if possible; if not, come next year. You 
will always be welcome. Permit me to extend to Cana- 
dian Indians, thanks in behalf of the American shooters 
in attendance, this inclusive of J. M. Hawkins, A. H. 
Durston, J. A. R. Elliott and the writer. Come and see 
us, that we may reciprocate. Tom A. MARSHALL,
