The targets for the amateurs were thrown smooth and with a rather high night of about 40 yards, with a clear back­ ground. The open 'events were shot from faster traps and a bad background of trees on the left caused rather hard shooting. White-flyer targets were used.

On the fourth (lay live birds were shot. J. Myron Miller, of Cecil County, won the amateur live-bird championship' of Mary­ land on 15 kills. He was tied by Dr. Hen- derson. but won on the shoot-off.

The shoot was a great success, and the managers received' great praise for giving the amateurs such a pleasant shoot.
