And now I first want, in behalf of the Indianapolis 
Gun Club, to thank the members of the Interstate Asso- 
ciation for their kindness in holding the Grand Ameri- 
can Handicap for the third time on the grounds of the 
Indianapolis Gun Club, and to invite them to come again. 
also want to thank the shooters present for their gen- 
erous patronage, and to assure them that the latch-string 
will always be on the outside at the grounds of the In- 
dianapolis Gun Club, and they will always be welcomed 
with open arms. I want, in behalf of the Indianapolis 
Gun Club, to especially thank the ladies for gracing this 
occasion with their presence, and to assure them they 
are more than welcome, and to hope they will come again 
—and often. 
And now, Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, while I do not wish 
to be too personal in my remarks, still I want to ad- 
dress a few remarks to you personally. The shooters of 
America have for the past few years been attending a 
great school, and you have been their teacher, and you 
have not only proven yourself a genial gentleman, but a 
past-master in managing a shooting tournament. No 
man has ever attended a shooting tournament managed 
by you without carrying away with him new ideas of how 
a shooting tournament should be conducted. Every one 
knows when he attends a tournament conducted by you 
that there will be no favorites, but that everything will be 
conducted on the square, and that every one will have “‘a 
square deal.” 
There has been a revolution in the methods of con- 
ducting tournaments all over the country in the last few 
years, and it is greatly due to the lessons you have given. 
And now the members of the Indianapolis Gun Club and 
your loyal and grateful scholars and participants lere 
assembled, wish not only to assure you of their friend- 
ship and_ good wishes, but also to present you this mag- 
nificent Masonic emblem as a slight token of their ap- 
preciation of your efforts to elevate the sport of trap- 
shooting, and with it go their best wishes for your 
future happiness and prosperity. And every time you 
take this emblem in your hand may you be reminded 
that all over this land, in every State and in almost 
every city there is located some shooter who has con- 
tributed to its purchase, and whose best wishes will 
surround it with a halo of glory which will never fade. 
Dr. Moore then presented the emblem, a beautiful work 
of art and intrinsically valuable. Mr. Shaner responded 
feelingly, pertinently and appropriately. 
It was a combination badge, with- emblems of the 
Commandery, Consistory and Blue Lodge, with a beau- 
tiful diamond set in. the side. The value of it was 
several hundred dollars. In it was an appropriate in- 
scription. The suggestion came from Secretary Arm- 
strong, and in a short time a long list of names was 
attached to a preface as follows: 
“We. the members of the Indianapolis Gun Club and 
Titerstate Association, with the contestants and par- 
ticipants in the Seventh Grand American Handicap, do 
subscribe the amounts opposite our names for the pur- 
pose cf purchasing a Masonic charm properly inscribed, 
to be presented to Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, in appreciation 
cf his past services as secretary-manager of the Interstate 
Association, and a sportsman worthy of our esteem te 
in ccnimemoration of this event, the seventh G. A. Ii.” 
Hearty congratulations were the order of the day, win- 
ners end losers alike rejoicing.
