The eighth annual meeting of the
SpOrtsman's Association of the Northwest
was held last evening i'll the parlors of the
Grand hotel, representatives being present
from Tacoma, Portland, Whatcom and
Spokane. The most important business
transacted at the session was the extern
sion of the territorial jurisdiction of the
association to include British Columbia.
Following this came the admittance to
membership of the Union Gun Club, of
Victoria and the Victoria Gun Club.
The secretary's report for the year was
read, and showed that the expenses of the
association for the past year had been
$l05.S5; receipts, $9i. Secretary West
called attention to the fact that several
clubs had failed to send in lists of active
members in good standing, the penalty of
| which was disqualification from entering
| a team in any association contest. After
a lengthy discussion the delinquent clubs
were excused, and President T. A. Bring
| ham was requested to deliver few re-
marks of censure
The trophy team contest, which read
| "five live birds to each man" brought
! forth heated discussion. and was finally
| settled by changing the clause to read
! twenty targets, or as it was originally
meant and inscribed on the trophy silver
| tankard. W. A. Hardy, II. II. Lewis, +.
! 4. Pontius, were appointed a board of
membership. and all disputes during the
| tournament will be settled by them. Dr.
| Beach, of Shelton, and W. Conover. of Sc
attic, were admitted to membership.
The meeting adjourned until tonight,
when the place of holding the next tour
| nament will be decided. and officers elect
ed for the ensuing year.
