Massachusetts State Tournament. 



Ltsn, Mass., March 14.— The sixth tournament of the Massachusetts 

 State Shooting Association took place here yesterday, under the aus- 

 pices of the Atlantic Trap-Shooting Association, situated at Lynnhurst. 

 It was a beautiful spring day, and the sweet songs of the sparrows, 

 robins and bluebirds made everything seem like unto a sportsman's 

 paradise. A harmonious wind blow across the traps and slightly rein- 

 forced the targets in their speedy flight; yet with such dextrous and 

 agile experts as John Mascroft, W. L. Davis, E. T. Smith, A. W. Walls 

 and A. B. F. Kinney, of Worcester; H. W Eager, of Marlboro; Messrs. 

 Sawyer, Wheeler. Winn, Gore, Sanborn and Warren, of Boston; Messrs.

 the unerring and deadly aim of such eracl-8.

 tion, and visiting sportsmen will long remember the" courtesy extended 

 them at this meeting. With grounds located at the beautiful suburb, 

 Lynnhurst, where grand and picturesque scenery abounds surround

 ous and sociable community, and its club house is alw r ays open to every 

 lover of the trap and gun.

 president of the Atlantic Trap-Shooting Association. Sportsmen will 

 recognize Mr. Wetherbee as one of the most agreeable sportsmen in 

 the fraternity, and an expert field and trap-shot He was elected 

 president of the Atlantic Club in June, 1893, and is a great enthusiast.

 Treasurer; T. H. Little, Field CaptatQ; Robt. Moore, Lieutenant. The 

 report of the treasurer shows the financial department of the club to 

 be in good shape. Several commhtees were appointed, among them a 

 committee to arrange for our second annual tournament which will be 

 held July 4, 5 and 6, 1894. An elaborate programme, one which will 

 suit everybody, is assured. The club has recently ordered a complete 

 set of five expert traps with electric pulis, which will reach here soon, 

 a"d with these the attendance at local and tournament shoots will be 

 large. Several names were added to the roll of tne club, which num- 

 bers about fifty. The club is to be divided into three, shooting classes, 

 and two additional medals have been ordered.
