Wellington, Mass.— With si.xteen shooters on the grounds the 
Boston Gun Club found no trouble at all in flying 1,300 or 1,400 
bird imitations between one and five o'clock, Wednesday, April 
6. The beautiful afternoon proved an ally 'worth having, and 
though a nasty choppy wind was in evidence, yet some excellent 
scores were secured. The airy disturbance aiTected the doubles 
mostly, which was not to be wondered at. Doubles are here shot 
■same rise as singles, in itself somewhat of a handicap. At 21. 
18 and 16yds., with the wind raising Cain among the Keystone 
angles 2 and 3, 3 and 4, and 2 and 4, 50 per cent, and over is 
really very fair. Those present thought so, anyway, particularly 
after looking at the score sheet.

Centredale Gtjn Clab, 
Centredale, R. L, April 2. — The scores of our opening shoot are 
given below. We threw about 3,300 targets from the magautrap, 
and it worked very satisfactorily. Beveridge broke 76^4 per cent 
Forehand 75; Jones 73 1-3; Walls 72; Hull 701^; Griffith 71; 
Greener 70; Arnold 67; Root 621/4, and Moore 55. The above 
includes all the events, regular and practice. 
The cracks were in the majority by a big margin, and included 
such men as Jack Hull, of Meriden, Conn.; C. E. Forehand, of 
Worcester; A. W. Walls, of the Sportsmen's Gun Club. Worcester: 
E. C. Griffiths, of Pascoag; H. H, Moore, F. I. Hammond and R! 
C. Root, who shot in the American Handicap: W. H. Sheldon, 
C. M. .Staniels, Frank Arnold, S. D. Greene, Sugh Bain and C. 
C. Beveridge, the latter one of the crack shots of the Brooklyn 
Gun Club. Among the spectators were, besides the Secretary 
of State: Judge Albert L. Andrews, Henry C. Luther, Frank 
E. Coniey, Dr. A. D. Rose and many other prominent men, the 
whole assemblage making up a concourse ot genuine lovers of 
sport, by whom the events were contested and enjoyed heartily 
and without any friction or the least display of unfairness or 
''quitting," sb obnoxious to the true sportsman. 
An excellent quahaug chowder was one of the attractions, and 
the number of birds sprung was not far from 3,500, an enormous 
number, and far in excess of any like event in the annals of trap- 
shooting in this State. The weather after the first hour or two 
was bad, being cold and windy, but some excellent scores were 
made in spite of the gusty wind that blew across the range with 
the spitefulness of delayed March w-eather that was w-orking over- 
time to catch up. The shoot was opened fo*r practice about 10:30. 
and from that time until nearly 6 o'clock there was a constant 
fusillade of shots that sounded like miniature war to the villagers 
across the river. The real work began at 11:30, aijd. the following 
events were contested by the shooters;

known. 
DansviUe Gun Club. 
Dansville, N. Y., April 1. — The Dansville Gun Club held its 
regular practice shoot to-day. Aside from a strong head wind 
blowing against the targets, making them very erratic in flight, the 
day was pleasant. The magautrap is growing in favor, and attracts 
considerable attention from shooters of other towns. The club's 
average was improved 3 per cent, over last week, as the following 
scores will show :

Audubon Gun CIub» 
Buffalo, N. Y., April 2.— The scores made to-day are given be- 
low. 
The new punch bowl emblematic of the city championship at 
live and artificial birds was brought forth from its case at the 
quarterly meeting of the Audubon Gun Club on the evening of 
April 2. The members did full justice to the occasion of the cele- 
bration of their triumph. In fact, the departure from custom 
found such favor with those present that there was not a dis- 
senting voice when it was proposed to make it a permanent fea- 
ture of meetings. E. C. Burkhardt and E. Reinecke generously 
volunteered to do the act at the next meeting. 
Toasts were responded to by R. IT. Hubbard, E. C. Burkhardt, 
L. W. Bennet, J. J. O'Brien, Arthur Coombs, C. S. Burkhardt 
and Dr. McMichael. J. J. Reid acted as toastmaster. 
The members propose to establish the organization on a firmer 
basis than it has heretofore enjoyed. One of the principal fea- 
tures of the meeting was the appointment of a committee of three, 
E. C. Burkhardt chairman, R. H. Hebard and J. T. O'Brien, to 
select and buy suitable grounds for building a club fiouse with the 
best conveniences for the members. They are to act and report 
immediately. 
At the regular club shoot to-day the attendance was fair, con- 
sidering the bad weather. Alex. Forrester carried off high-average 
honors in the target events, making 88 per cent, on the day's total, 
which was remarkably good shooting under the high wind and 
snow which prevailed. , 
In the badge shoot Norris and Forrester tied for A Class badge, 
and Forrester won if5 the shoot-off. In B class event George Zoel- 
ler and E. N. McCarney tied, Zoeller winning the shoot-off. Por- 
ter won C Class. 
In event No. 7, at 7 live "birds, E. N. McCarney and E. C. 
Burkhardt divided the purse with seven straight kills. Both did 
some excellent shooting, the birds being an extra swift lot, with a 
heavy wind to help them along. The score:

Club on April 9. _ , 
The third event was the weekly badge shoot. Heinold won Class

of the season of forty-two shoots. McCarney won Class B and J. 
J. Reid Class C badge. The last four events were at live bird's.

ing straight in the last three events.

Catctpole Gun Club, 
WoLCOTT, N. Y., April 6. — The memlpers of our club held their 
weekly shoot to-day over the new magautrap recently leased from 
the Cleveland Target Co. The scores are fair, taking into con- 
sideration that this was the first time that the club ever faced this 
new trap. Man\' shooters present never shot at targets from a 
trap of any kind before. To say that every member of our club 
was pleased with the magautrap does not express it. The shoot- 
ing was difficult, owing to strong wind. Following is the score

Missoula Rod and Gun Club. 
Missoula, Mont., March 27.— Our shoot to-day was from known 
traps, unknown angles. We held no shot on the 20th, on account 
of a severe storm, and yesterday was a bad day to shoot, the light ' 
being very poor, which will account in a manner for the poor 
scores. 
Our Rod and Gun Club has purchased 120 quail and liberated 
them in different localities. We will try if they will not breed 
liere. They are protected until 1900, and we will try and have them 
protected for a longer period. We have also sent away for 25 
ring-necked English pheasants, which will be let out on their ar- 
rival .

There is one thing to be said of the Forest and Stream's 
advertising pages — they are clean. One need not have a care 
before letting them into his home where feminine eyes may scan 
them. They are conducted on the same principle that controls 
the (other) reading pages, which is that those who read them be- 
long to the normal decent classes of mankind. If the nature of 
its advertising columns is a true index to the character of a 
paper's constituency, a large proportion of the clientage of certain 
esteemed contemporaries must be in the hospital. 
The FoKEST AND Stream is put to press each week on 
Tuesday. Correspondence intended for pulMca.fi'c~' 
should reach us at the latest by litor\,da/y, and as much 
eojrlier as practicably.
