FOREST AND STHE 
[July 18,^1896. 
Boston Gun Club. 
BosTOJN, J»ily 8.— The Boston Gun Club ended Its summer prize series 
of ten shoots, five best scores constituting prize total, "Wednesday af- 
ternoon, July 8. Next week opens the shore bird season , which will, 
for the time being, prove more enticing to the average sportsman than 
smashing inanimates. September and Octob«r are the held shots' own 
months; 80 for some time only desultory practice will take place at 
the Boston Gun Club, a large majority of ihe usual participants being 
scattered for vacation purposes. The series just concluded argues 
well for the actual sport of trap-shooting aparc from monetary con- 
siderations, the attendance averaging liigher than at many clubs 
where sweep moneys are the attraction. Not a dime, nickel or quar- 
ter has played a part in the four last B. G. C. prize series, aggregating 
forty-four successful shoots, and the best evidence that such have 
been enjoyed is the fact that we go again and again. WBile some new 
faces appear each week, the majority come under the heading of regu 
lar attendants. One of these is Mr. Gordon, the winner of series just 
concluded, and a splendid shot both in the field and at the trap. He 
was warmly congratulated at the finish. Miskay was a close second, 
losing first by not improving a 30. First and second were practically 
even on the wing shoots; Miskay's five best counting 105 with 20 for 
low score, and Gordon's five top scores counting 103 with 18 for low 
score. Gordon in making 32 to-day moved up 4, Miskay not changing 
his total. The previous series was similarly contested, Miskay win- 
ning gold medal, with Gordon second, their nandlcaps suffering an ad- 
ditional yard (a penalty quite likely to be repeated). Following are 
the winning scores:

East Side vs. Forester. 
Newaek.N. J., Julyll.— The Forester Gun Club held its regular 
monthly shoot at inanimate targets on its Peddie street grounds to- 
day. The principal event of the day was a team shoot at 25 targets 
per man, known angles, with the East Side Gun Club, of Newark. 
This was the second of a series of shoots with this club, and although 
the Foresters put up a good score, they were beaten again. As this 
is only the second match the Foresters have ever shot, they feel en- 
couraged to think that they kept as close as they did to the scores of 
the older club. Scores;

Arlington Gun Club. 
Arlington, N. J., July 7.— Inclosed you will please find a programme 
and the scores made at our first shooting match held July 4. As you 
will see by the scores (other than President Herrington's), they are 
not large; but what we lacked in poor shooting we made up in enthu- 
siasm, and we only had good spring water to imbibe. We expect to 
get a good club together by the fall and wUl do some good shooting.

Dedham Sportsmen's Club. 
Boston, July 7,— The regular weekly shoot of the Dedham Sports- 
men's Club took place Saturday, July 4. There were but very few 
members in attendance, owing to the fact that the club sent ten of 
their members to the shoot of the Hopedale Gun Club, which ac- 
counted for the very small attendance at their own grounds. The 
badge match was won by Mr. Gordon, on a score of 15 out of 20.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
8. R., Washington, D. C— Bang Bang's pedigree is: By Price's Bang 
(Bang— Vesta) out of Princess Kate (Pon to— Sappho). 
C. E. W., Providence, R. I.— I wrote you May 25 relative to "Dick 
Noble's" eyes and you kindly sent me a prescription which has been 
applied faithfully. As we can see no difference in any way, I thought 
I would inform you so. He is such a beautiful fellow it. seems a 
great pity to have him in such a condition. I presume he goes by 
scent entirely. The blue film which covers his eyes is about the same 
as before we applied the drops. Ans. Continue the drops and bath- 
ing. After bathing the eye morning and evening put a quarter of a 
grain of calomel in each eye and rub the eye-lids gently over the eye 
for two minutes (massage),

The Light-Weight Marlin. 
New Haven, Conn., July 9.— Editor Forest and Stream: We desire 
to thank your correspondent Aztec for his kindly mention of us in his 
article, but we would say that his statement is a little incorrect. We 
do not make any advance in price for a light-weight rifie in our Mod. 
'95 as to bring our rifle down to 81bs.; all we have to do is to make it 
84in. or 26in. half magazine, the same as the other company, and then, 
as we make no extra charge for rubber butt plates, which is the only 
other change, you see the rifle still lists at the regulation price, 
although it is down to what has heretofore been called the extea 
light-weight.-— .4c{v.
