A. A. Barrett, .Sec'y. 
Pigeons at Mempliis. 
The interest in the contests for the possession of tlie Memphis 
Gun Club's live-bird medal is wrought up to a high pitch by the 
result of the last two contests, in each of which A. H. Frank has 
proved the victor. The fourth contest for the trophy took place 
April 12, and there were ten members on hand to dispute for the 
possession of it. Frank, however, was in rare form, and ran up a 
straight score of 25. In addition to this he shot in a 5 and 10-bird 
sweep, scoring 5 and 9 respectively, making 39 out of 40 for the 
day. Poston also shot well, scoring 24 in the medal race, and 10 
straight in the sweep. 
The birds for the trophy shoot were selected from a large lot, and 
should have been capital ones. 
On A.pril 16 the fifth contest took place, and Frank again proved 
the winner, and that too on a straight score. This time thougli 
it required even more than this, as his was not the only straight, 
Poston also duplicating his feat. 
But in the shoot-off Frank won out, and to tlim falls the honor 
of being the first to win it twice. Previous to this each contest 
had been productive of a new victor, AUin, Divine and Edrington 
having won it in the order named. Poston has tied for it twice, 
but has as yet been unable to land it. Who can tell but what his 
turn will be next, as the form he has displayed all through these 
contests must eventually win for him. This, however, cannot 
be long deferred, for should Frank win it again, he becomes the 
permanent possessor of it. This he is likely to do, as he possesses 
all the pluck and confidence so essential in contests of this 
nature. To-day he scored 38 out of 40, while Edrington scored 37 
out of 40. , , , . , 
The weather conditions were perfect, though there was no wind 
to help the birds along.

Boston Gtin Club, 
Wellington, Mass., April 20. — The last shoot of current prize 
series took place at Wellington Wednesday afternoon last. The 
wholesale trap-shooting of the previous day, a holidaj' in this sec- 
tion, depicted the ranks somewhat, but a dozen attended, quite 
oblivious of the cloudy and moist weather conditions. Eastman 
and Horace tied for first prize, a gold watcli charm, taut according 
to the rules of the contest the former won it, having attended all 
the slioots, and Horace only ten. The shooting of both dtiring 
entire series has been excellent. The best six scores during the 
fourteeh contests, beginning Jan. 12 and conclviding to-day, form 
the prize totiil, and .below are given the complete results. East- 
man and Aliskay discarded eight scores, Spencer 7, Taft and Gor- 
don 5, tlorace and Woodruff 4, Lcroy 2, Plollis 1 and Paine ilone. 
The team match was somewhat of a foregone conclusion at this 
last stagCj 7 targets separatilig first and second: Eastrnan and 
Taft requiring a 39 to wih, provided Miskay and florace failed to 
advance. The latter improved 2, the latter 4 targets, so the Thur- 
man shooting blouses go to Miskay and Horace, and now Miskay 
is coinplainiiig because Thurman blouses are not made for ladies. 
Mr. J. R. Hull, representing Parker Bros., was a visitor to-day, 
and acquited himself very creditably on the varied shooting, and 
particularly so on the three 5-target events at 21, 22 and 23yds.

Trap at Worcester, 
Worcester, Mass., April 12.— At the opening shoot for the 
L C. Smith trophy some excellent scores were made, especially 
those' of E. S. Knowles and Jack Hull, both breaking 48 out of 
their 50 targets. Jack lost his 25th bird in his first 25 and his 22d 
of the last 25. Knowles won the trophy, as Mr. Hull was not a 
member of the gun club, but oh! how he did shoot! 
Following are the scores of the L. C. Smith trophy contest: 
Hull 48 Knowles 48, Snell 46. Forehand 45, Hanson 44, Walls 40, 
Roach 38, Emory .57, Buck 32, Bucklin 32. Kinney 30. 
April 15.— The State shoot to-day was a failure, as the day was 
too rainy to shoot': only a few shooters ventured out to the 
shooting grounds. The following events were shot:

Haverhill Gun Clab. 
HAVERHir,!:,, Mass., April 23.— Tuesday, April 19, was Patriots' 
Day in this State, and the Haverhill Gun Club celebrated the day 
bj- holding an all-da3' shoot on their grounds at Ploj't's Grove, in 
this city. 
It was the opening shoot of the season, and was a decided 
success, everything running without a hitch to fflar the enjoyment 
of the shooters from beginning to end, though it Must be con- 
fessed the shooting was nothing to brag of. Our captain, Mr. 
Miller, was high gun for the day with an average of 77 per cent., 
but it must be remembered we are only two years old, as an 
organization. We have done no shooting since Christinas Day, 
and many of the shooters were shooting at the ti-aps for the first 
time. Then too we have never favored "kindergarten birds" very 
much on our grounds, and the strong and erratic wind added 
much to the speed of the targets, besides causing them to indulge 
in all sorts of antics, thus making them puzzling marks for the 
older members and the despair of the "green hands." 
Below you will find the events in tabulated form, and the scores 
made:

Cheyenne Flyers. 
Chevenne, Wyo., April 20.— Inclosed find scores of live-bird match 
shot between the Cheyenne Gun c:iub and the Douglas Gun Club, 
at Douglas, Wyo., on April 12. A very strong, cold wind and a 
dark day were largely responsible for the low scores. The birds 
were a magnificent lot of flyers:

Savannah, Ga., April 18. — I send yon scores of the Forest Citv 
Gun Club at their first practice for the season of 1898. The club 
has adopted the magautrap, and the scores may be considered good, 
as but few of the members had ever shot over a maggie, as the 
club has chrisltened their new trap. The event was at 25 targets:

PUBLISHERS' DEPARTMENT. 
Removal of "William Mills & Son. 
The firm, of William Mills & Son have removed from their for- 
mer location at 7 Warren street to 21 Park Place, two blocks fur- 
ther down town. The firm was originally established under the 
name of T. & J. Bate in 1822, in lower Pearl street, after which 
they removed to Maiden Lane. James Bate manufactured the fish- 
ing tackle, etc., in England, while Thomas Bate managed the 
business in the United States. The founders of the firm were 
the grandfather and granduncle of Thomas Bate Mills, the present 
proprietor. In 1843 the firm changed to T. & T. H. Bate. 
In 1859 the firm again changed to T. H. Bate & Co., with the 
late William Mills as the junior member of the firm. In 1875 the 
firm assumed its present name of W^illiam Mills & Son, and since 
which there has been no change. The death of William Mills 
occurred in March, 1883. 
The firm occupied their store at 7 Warren street for over forty 
years, being the second occupants of the building. The new store 
is admirably located and large and well lighted. 
The Acme Sinker. 
The Acme Co., of Grand Rapids, Mich., advertises a very useful 
little device for anglers, the cost of which is so trifling in compari- 
son with its convenience that it is likely to have a large sale. This 
is a split sinker, wltich springs on the line by means of a piece 
of brass wire partly surrounding it. The strength of the wire 
is sufficient to hold the sinker firmly in place, and yet its grasp 
upon the line is not so strong but that it is practicable to move it 
up and down so that it may be adjusted to suit the exigency of 
any particular occasion. It is a hand}' and practical article. — Adv. 
Of Intetcst to Fishermen and Canoeists,
