Bbsion Gun Club. 
Wellington, Mass., June 2.— The usual coterie of enthusiasts gath- 
ered at Wenington to day, Wednesday, for the second shoot in the 
second '97 prize series, and a beautiful day it was; quite sufHcient in 
itself to draw twice the number from the realms of business and work. 
But one holiday bad already broken the week, and though the wea- 
ther of Monday, Decoration Day, was evidently intend&i for ti-ap- 
shooters of Baptist denomination only, so that comparatively few in 
this vicinity indulged in this particular form of sport, some of our 
regular participants find it difficult to secure two days off out of six, 
not to mention the Saturday half - holidays now so universally bestowed 
in the months of May, June, July and August. Summer vacations 
are coming, too, and already the Boston Gun Club's ranks are being 
depleted to a certain extent. Next week Mr. Gordon and Mr. Wood- 
rult will be missing; the former olf to his summer home in Falmouth, 
Mass., the latter to New Hampshire in preparation for a later more 
extended visit. About the time of shore-bird shooting the series will 
be ended, and then au revoir until the bleak winds and snows again 
whistle about the club house, and the days of tall hunting are so far 
gone as to create a desire to still burn powder at something, if only 
asphalts, for the benefit of an afternoon's enjoyment— and the am- 
munition manufacturers. 
In the match to-day Gordon and Eastman were high with 22 out of 
25, and the shooting of the latter was for the whole afternoon of a 
high order, excepting perhaps on doubles. Scores as follows:

Gilbert's Bar Gun Club. 
HoBE Sound, Fla , June 5.— The Gilbert's Bar Gun Club held its 
second shoot to-day. The score appears below, and as usual is a fine 
collection of goose eggs. We shoot on the island between the Indian 
River and the ocean, and the southeast trade wind coming off the 
ocean, which is hardly 100yds, from our traps, makes the flight of 
the bluerocks somewhat erratic. It's a good deal like woodcock 
shooting in a dense cover. Sometimes you get him, but more often 
you don't. 
The club has arranged for a tournament on July 4, which comprises 
ten 10-bird events, entrance 50 cents each, money' divided Jack rabbit 
system, surplus divided 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent., also a team race, 
five-man teams, from all along the Indian River. We have entries 
frrm four teams and expect to hear from several more:

B,y Ihe way, the first broods of quail are fully fledged and are flying 
about, and the old birds are preparing for the second broods. I have 
found several nests of eggs already and the prospects are good for 
plenty of birds next winter. H. D. McVban, Shooting Master.
