Interstate Association Re Handicaps. 
PirtspurG, Pa., Nov. 27.—Editor Forest and Stream: 
A mail vote of the stockholders of the Interstate Asso- 
ciation, taken under date of Noy. 19, resulted in the fol- 
lowing preamble and resolutions being adopted: 
“Whereas, A little dissatisfaction has been openly ex- 
pressed in regard to the handicapping done at the 1907 
Interstate Association tournaments by the members of 
the Handicap Committees who so kindly undertook the 
thankless task of awarding penalties for expert work 
with the shot gun; and 
“Whereas, It has been held that it was mandatory upon 
the Handicap Committees at the five Interstate Associa- 
tion tournaments to place contestants at 23yds.; and 
“Whereas, Such a ruling would be arrogating to our- 
selves an important part of the duties imposed upon 
the members of the Committees by virtue of their offices; 
therefore be it 
“Resolved, That the duty imposed upon the Com- 
mittees and what the Interstate Association did insist 
upon and provide for in its programmes were that no con- 
testant, however expert he might be, should be placed 
further from the traps than the 23yds. mark, Every- 
thing else in the handicapping line it left to the ac- 
knowledged good judgment of the individual members 
of the Committees. 
“Resolved, That their work was well done was, we be- 
lieve, fully proved by the result of the events in which 
that work figured, and we, the stockholders of the In- 
terstate Association, tender our thanks for the services 
so kindly rendered, and our appreciation of the care 
and thought_ given to the allotment of handicaps at 
Richmond, Wa.; Chicago, Ill.; Boston, Mass.; Denver, 
Colo., and Spokane, Wash., by the following named gen- 
tlemen: Messrs. Elmer E. Shaner. Pittsburg, Pa.:; B. 
Waters, New York, N. Y.; C. M. Powers. Decatur, IIl.; 
W. D. Townsend, Omaha, Neb.; Dr. Edw. F, Gleason, 
Boston, Mass. Also to those other gentlemen who gave 
their services substituting for members of the Handicap 
Committee who were absent. 
“Resolved, That these resolutions be 
records of the Association, and a copy thereof be trans- 
mitted to each of the gentlemen who served on the 
Committees, and to each of the sportsmen’s journals, 
honorary members of the Association.”
