FOREST AND STREAM. 
Fitchburgf Rifle and Gun Club. 
_ FiTCHBURG, Mass, June 1. — Editor Forest and Stream: Thirteen 
shooters visited the traps Friday, May 26, and a most perfect day 
it was for shooting, and most of the shooters improved the oppor- 
tunity to make good scores. The traps were kept busy from 2:30 
until after 6, and it was declared that the Fitchburg Rifle and Gun 
Club could furnish sport, even if sweeps are out of their line. 
■J'he team race was of great interest to spectators, as well as to 
the shooters. Team 1, captained by Cutler, defeated Team 2, cap- 
■ tained by Converse, by 5 birds. As usual, some of the shooters 
in ihe team failed to come up to their visual good average. I 
would suggest that some of them take a little nerve food next time 
before entering the race. Leroy, of Campello, Mass., and Feder- 
hen, Burbank, Andrews and Gates, from Leominster, were with 
us. and their presence was much enjoyed. Leroy was easily high 
man, getting 86 out of his last 90 birds. That, of course, is due 
to his shooting DuPont powder and U. M. C. factory-loaded shells, 
which he has a faculty of talking up between events, but gives 
a practical demonstration in the events that tliev are all right. 
All they need is a good man behind them. A number of ladies 
were present and seemed to thoroug.by enjoy the sport. The 
scores :

The club held a very successful all-day shoot May 30. The day 
was fine, though a strong southwest wind made the targets ex- 
ceedingly difficult to get; only those who could swing on them 
, quickly were in it at all. After a certain point they were a good 
<leal like the Irishman's flea — he put his finger where it was, and 
it wasn't there. We would shoot where the target was, tlut when 
the shot got there the target was somewhere else. 
The team race was again much enjoyed. The captains seem to 
. be unable to hold their commission longer than one shoot. Tues- 
day Dix outshot Captain fidwards, of Team 1, and will be captain 
at the next shoot; also Hawkins had to step down from captain of 
Team 2, and will be succeeded by Edwards or Cutler, who tied 
for the place. . . .... 
Aside irom the trap-shooting, there was. rifle ap.d revolver prac- 
tice going on all day, and some very good, scoreg , "were made with 
each. . ... 
There was a lunch and soft drink served on th.e grounds, which 
the shooters appreciated very much. 
The next shoot will be held June 5, and they say two new cap- 
tains will be in order. The scores:

Brooklyn, L. .1., June 3. — ^There was a warm gathering of the 
regular clientele of the Brooklyn Gun Club to-day, and each 
man was shooting as if he had been trained to the minute. The 
main event was the handicap, at 30 targets, the prize being 
a fine carving set. The way the boys smashed targets was 
pleasing to all beholders. The handicaps were made by Mr. 
Edward Banks, who made his estimates very ably. There were 
three ties shot off before tlie losers were eliminated. Dr. Creamer 
finally landing the treasure. He was shooting in much better 
form than usual, and shows decided improvement. Competitors, 
scores and handicaps in the first ties at 15 targets were: vVaters, 
2, 10; F. A. Thompson, 2, 15; C. von Lengerke, 1, 12; Hagedorn, 2,

Naromafce Gun Cltib. 
May 30. — The Decor.ation Day shoot of the Naromake Gun Club, 
of Norwalk, Conn., was a most pleasant affair. There were 15 
events on the programme, and these, with some extra events, were 
finished before 5 o'clock in the afternoon. A substantial lunch 
w'as furnished for the shooters by the club. The weather was clear 
and warm, a stiff, pleasant wind blowing from nearly left to 
right across the traps. The wind made the targets fly irregularly 
occasionally, and made the shooting somewhat difhcult, though 
(lie targets were not thrown hard. A magautrap was used, which 
was somewhat novel as to arrangements. The club house is 
Hiluated on the marsh, just above tidewater. The tide ebbs and 
flows under the platform. The magautrap rests on a miniature 
floating dock, or rather a big water-tight box, so that let the 
water rise as it may the trap cannot be submerged. The targets 
are thrown against a sky background, and all the surroundings 
are exceptionally pleasant. The view is part of land, and part of 
ocean. The grounds are Dorlon's Point, a short ride by trolley 
from Norwalk. The scores made were as follows :

Boston Gun Club. 
WELLiNGTOisr,^ Mass., June 2.— The eighth shoot in Boston 
Gun Club's series was considerable of a success, notwithstanding 
that it followed immediately a holiday very much used for prac- 
tice at the traps in this section. 
Nine enthuisasts thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and more 
could not be asked of a day that was distinctly warm and sunny 
at Wellington and fiercely hot in Boston. The diminished num- 
bers allowed of some variety, and Leroy's suggestion of discuss- 
ing bluerocks from in front of magautrap, one man up, was fol- 
lowed. Events 10 and 11 were thus shot, the shooter standing 
some 15yds. to right of trap and puller at club house dislodging 
a target wlien he saw fit after gun was loaded. Mr. Howe, with a 
repeater, loaded his gun and accepted fire; one ■ after the other, 
without delay. r , . 
It had to be gun below the elbow, wait for the target without 
calling pull, then break it if it was within the shooter's power. 
This was where the stiltiness of the present trap-shooting system 
was painfully apparent. Those whose experience was limited to 
trap work wholly were at a disadvantage; the more favored mor- 
tals who have shot over a good dog in the field and felt the ex- 
hilaration of partridge and quail qiiickly starting from cover were 
quite at home. The trial was a pleasing feature of the afternoon's 
play, and a small crowd in "the future will be the- signal for more 
of the same kind. 
At conclusion of events, Messrs. Lerpj' and Howe practiced at 
16yds. in expectation of similar work at Buffalo this coming 
w'eek.
