Boston Gon Clufa. 
Wellington, Mass.— Boston Gun Club members quite dis- 
tinguished themselves on the occasion of the seventh serial prize 
shoot, June 8, with poor averages maintained throughout the 
entire afternoon. Nobody shot well, so everybody was satisfied. 
The intense heat, overabundance of sunlight and a very lively 
breeze from the south quite smothered all pet projects for 
improvement of scores. Thus one day of the four remaining 
has been wasted, if we except M^oodrulf, whose 26 replaced a 
19 and lands him in first position, 4 targets ahead of second. 
Events as follows;

New York State Assodation for the Protection of Fish and 
Game, 
The Rochester Rod and Gun Club is working hard to make its 
meet, June 20-24, something extraordinary, and will leave no stone 
unturned to effect that end. Beautiful souvenir badges have been 
procured at great cost to adorn the delegates. The convention is 
to be held in the most elaborate apartments of the Chamber of 
Commerce. The headquarters will be at the Whitcomb House, a 
house celebrated throughout the United States for its excellence. 
The shooting grounds are an ideal selection, and are most artisti- 
cally arranged. Good money added to the purses, both State and 
Bweepstake events. Complete protection of the amateur and no 
handicap for the experts except in State events. Monday will be 
given up to such shooting on the grounds as those who come early 
may desire. Monday evening, the convention, which we all hope 
will place the N. Y. S. A. for the P. of F. and G. in a position 
to defy competition in the future and satisfy all that the old N. Y. 
S. A. for the P. of F. and G. is here to stay. 
Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock sharp the finest tally-ho m this 
country, guided by Mr. E. F. Higgins, the celebrated livery 
caterer of this city, with eight magniiicent gray horses, trumpeter 
and all the equipments to constitute a proper outiit, will arrive in 
front of the headquarters, the Whitcomb House, to conduct the 
sporting editors and their friends to the shooting grounds in a 
style befitting their importance. This magnificent vehicle is capable 
of seating twenty-five persons, together with the driver and trump- 
peter, and is probably the finest turnout in the State. 
The citizens of Rochester have been very generous in money 
and prizes, and are determined that nothing shall be left undone 
that can conduce to the comfort of the sportsmen who will attend 
the convention. 
Programmes have been distributed throughout the country, and 
speak for themselves. 
For the Dean Richmond trophy event the finest birds in the 
country have been secured. Mr. Ed Fulford, winner of the Grand 
American Handicap, will exhibit his celebrated live-bird trap, 
capable of trapping 200 birds per hour. 
Messrs. Hoagland and' Moyer have been engaged as squad 
hustlers, which is sufficient to guarantee that nothing will be want- 
ing in that direction. The office work will be in the hands of 
experienced persons, and nothing will be neglected. 
Come, all of you, and enjoy the best shoot ever given by the 
j!j£W York State Association, W. C, Hadlev. 
Valley City Gtin Club. 
Grand Rapids, Mich., June 4. — The Valley City Gun Club, of 
Grand Rapids, went to Holland May 27, and defeated the ckib 
of that place for the five-man team championship of Michigan. 
It was an easy victory, though the tie on 30 single targets made 
it look dubious. When it came to sliooting the 10 pairs the Hol- 
land men all tumbled except H. H. Rarstens, who usually 
handles his Winchester like a professional, and shot up to 
his record on this occasion. The Holland Club had made con- 
siderable conceit by having defeated the - Grand Rapids men on 
two former occasions, and were confident of wiping them off 
the earth this time. The past two seasons the Valley -City men 
have done all their practice at the magautrap, and it is evident 
that it unfits them for such hard shooting as five single un- 
known traps. The team got home in time to take in the regular 
weekly shoot, of which scores are as below. Event 6 was the 
club trophy, and was won by A. L. Holcomb for the first time. 
The junior button was won the third time by Lisle, the amateur 
button by Skihman, the first lime. 
At the shoot yesterday afternoon Holcomb won the trophy and 
senior medal the second time; Rood the junior medal the sec- 
ond -time, and Reid the amateur medal the second time, tieing 
Skillman in the event, but defeating him the 25 targets of events 
7 and 8. Our grounds are in perfect shape for the fifth annual 
tournament of our club, June 0 and 7, and with favorable weather 
a great shoot will be had. It will . be purely a State affair, 
whereas our former shoots have been open to all. While we have 
many friends among both the professional and crack amateurs 
from abroad, their presence has made some of our immediate 
neighbors pack up and leave the grounds In past years before 
the shoot was fairly open, and we propose to give them a 
chance this year.

Fott Smith Gun Clufa. 
Fort Smith, Ark., June. 6.— The regular weekly practice shoot 
of the Fort Smith Gun Club took place at the Fair grounds June 
4. The shoot took place between two showers and the wind blew 
a gale. The background for the boys to shoot against was a big 
black cloud that looked as though death and destruction lurked 
in its bosom. 
The boys all fell down, and not a single good score was made 
during the evening, and the averages went glimmering. The 
boys all came home with the uncomfortable feeling that a blue- 
rock is never dead till you kill him. What will we do with them 
next time? Just wait and see. Revenge is sweet!
