The table shows that Saunders shot at 35 and scored them all,

The club added a sum equivalent to 10 per cent of the purse in 
to-day's event. The weather -was again fine. 
General Averages. 
In this respect the showing is not so good, for the reason that 
but few remained over for the fourth day, as- there was practically 
nothing to hold the shooters, and there were no general average 
prizes. Thus it is that but thirteen shot through. Of these, Gil- 
bert, who has been shooting an extraordinary pace throughout, is 
high with .973; George Peterson is second with 943; 
Klein third, .935; Budd fourth, .933, and Mortenson fifth, 
.927. The others appear in the table in the order. To the 
credit of the local club it must be said that four of the thirteen 
whose names appear in this table are its representatives. One 
other, Hunter, was forced to withdraw from the last two events.

Fitctifaorg' Shots in a Wind, 
FiTCHBTJEG, Mass., June 7.— In spite of the excessive heat there 
were eleven shooters in attendance at the shoot of the Fitch- 
burg Rifle and Gun Club Monday, June 5. It was by far the 
hardest shooting we have had this season, owing to the high wind, 
which seemed to whirl in from every quarter, playing havoc 
with the targets and keeping the shooters guessing. The 
team shoot came just in the thickest of it, when an ad- ■ 
vancing shower was preceded by a liberal amount of wind 
that twirled the targets in a way that was. anything but 
gentle. The result can be obtained by a perusal of the scores. 
Oh, no! we don't claim to be experts; if we were, such trifles 
virould not trouble us. Dix and Edwards had to step down into 
the ranks, while Converse and Hawkins rise to take their places, 
only to fall again at the next shoot. The scores:

Haverhill Gun Clitb. 
Haverhill, Mask, May 'M— Our Memorial Day skoot .is now 
l3ut a pleasant memory, made so by the fact that it was the 
best of our many good. ones. 
If the visiting shooter's succeeded in extracting a Httle of the 
pleasure that it gave us in trying to entertain them, we are in- 
deed satisfied. ' ' 
We were favored with good weather, which would seem to 
prove the efficacy of hoping for the kind we had, as our club to 
a man have been chanting wishes in many different languages for 
a good day, these many weeks. 
We were expecting' a good attendance, but not in any such 
numbers as invaded the quiet of Hoyt's Grove between the hours 
of 10 and 11 A. M. In the advance notices of the shoot, and also 
on the programmes, we proposed giving a limch complimentary to 
shooters and their friends, and the promise was adhered to down 
to the smallest particular, for it was just a lunch— for the number 
present— and nothing more; they all assured us in an extremely 
well-bred manner that it was ample, and while we appreciate their 
kind indulgence," we still think it would have been better to have 
had enough left . over to make one fly think life was worth the 
hvmg. 
Our specially invited guests, the Portsmouth Club, responded 
with a full squad, and were accompanied by several ladies. Thos. 
Howe, of Hingham, with his "Gatling gun"; LeRoy, shooting 
jus usual rapid gait and murmuring something about "Du Pont's"; 
BiUy Allison, wearing the same old hat, and shooting with his 
usual skill; Miskay, Williams and Horace, who are very near 
relatives, and who in their early days were given, not tin rat- 
tles and drums for toys, but such articles in the shooting line 
as they now use so effectively, in all probability; Climax, better 
known to us as Jimmie Burns; Rule, who said he was coming to 
visit us again, and would on that occasion have some shot in his 
loads, and many other shooters from the dift'erent cities and towns 
of our own State, in additiion to several from New Hampshire. 
Shooting began at 10:45, and notwithstanding the lateness of the 
hour we trapped nearly 5,000 targets, with but twelve broken in 
trapping by actual count. The members' handicap prizes were 
won by the following: First, sole leather gun case, by President 
George; second, 6'/4Ibs. Du Pont smokeless, by Merritt; third, 
100 loaded shells, by Graffam, our latest recruit. 
The shooting on the whole was very good, taking into consid- 
eration the strong wind; but the contest for the prizes was not 
so sharp as was the case at our April 19 shoot, most probably 
caused by the sleepless nights of the prospective, winners, num- 
bering possibly the entire list of contestants, who were doubtless 
lying awake for the purpose of practicing an unconcerned look 
when they should be declared the winner of one of the prizes. 
"We are inclined to have a warm spot in our hearts for the 
Portsmouth boys, and fear they might have been neglected more 
or less during the day, as we are still bunglers at running a shoot, 
and doubly so while trying to act the role of entertainers, with 
all the details to look after. This same Portsmouth Club are 
past masters in the art of royally entertaining visiting shooters, 
which fact was demonstrated to the writer, who made one of a 
delegation from the Haverhill Club a few years ago. Scores:

Sberbrook(;'s Tournament. 
The annual event of the season in the Province of Quebec 
is the Dominion Day shoot of the Sherbrooke Gun Club.~ They 
have been giving good shoots up at Sherbrooke for the past 
five years, and the attendance and interest have steadily increased. 
The club is amateur in every sense, but very enthusiastic. In 
the management of their shoots they excel many more pretentious 
associations. 
The smoothness with which the events of a programme follow 
each other throughout the day is delightful — no hurry, no noise, 
no confusion. The "squad hustlers" never hustle; they just 
whisper, "You're No. 3 in the next squad; be ready, please." 
The secret of their success lies in the fact that all departments 
of management are in charge of experienced paid help. The 
cashier is a professional accountant. The puller is attentive 
and responsive. The referee is an experienced man of positive 
convictions. The scorer has no opinion of his own, but has 
unbounded admiration for that of the referee, and records it 
with mechanical precision. The trappers are entirely without the 
sense of humor. They were boys once, but you would never 
suspect it. There isn't a trick left in them. 
The grounds are beautifully located, and reached by electric

cars in ten minutes frorli the Grand Central Hotel. The club, 
hou§e is .large enough to comfortably accommodate a large num- 
ber of shooters, and the veranda and score are broad and amnle. 
The programme for Dominion Day, July 1, provides for one; 
event at 10 targets, ten at 15, two at 20, and one at 5 pairs. 
Rose system, four and live moneys, in all events. 
A merchandise match, in which re-entries are unlimited, will 
be shot over an extra set. This is always lots of fun while waiting 
one's turn at the regular set, and this year the club offers an 
extra large list of valuable prizes. 
The shoot is open to all amateurs. Experts and agents may shoot ■ 
for targets at half price. 
Shooters from Northern States have been among the regular 
pilgrims to Sherbrooke, and the club hopes for a still larger 
number on July 1. Several new clubs are forming in the 
Province, and there is every prospect of an extra large attendance 
C. H. Foss is secretary, and will be glad to send you a pro- 
gramme. 
"Woonsocket Gun Club. 
WooNSOCKET, R. I., June 3.— The Woonsocket Gun Club has

ed the members of the Auburn Gun Club to-day, the date of their 
second annual tournament. Although the weather was threaten- 
ing, there were twenty-six shooters in attendance, seven of them 
being from Portland, besides many spectators. 
About noon the sun came out and a strong wind set in, making 
the targets unusually fast; but in spite of this many good scores 
were made. Doten, of Lewiston, was high gun for the day; Rich, 
of Rutland, second, and Hunnewell, of Auburn, third. 
A good time was enjoyed by everyone, and the new club house, 
which is nearly built, was voted a dandy. Dinner was served in 
the dining hall upstairs, from which a balcony overlooks the 
grounds. 
Further improvements will be made at the grounds before the 
State shoot, which will be held in this city Aug. 30 and 31, to 
which all shooters are extended a hearty welcome and a good 
time is assured to everyone. Following are scores for the day's 
shoot: ■

A. Barker, Sec'y- 
Boston Gtm Club. 
Wellington, Mass., June 9. — The Boston Gun Club's ninth 
shoot was but slimly_ attended, partially owing to the disagreeable 
afternoon. The day, which was cool enough for sweaters and 
overcoats, succeeded two of fierce heat, and the change was too 
severe to be pleasant. Add to this the promise of rain, which 
afforded poor light, and pehaps the thoroughly bad shooting 
shown in the different events is accounted for to a certain extent. 
The scores were uniformly poor throughout, and nobody felt 
that the afternoon had been profitably spent. Events 10, 11 and 
12 were the most enjoyable, providing as they did a little more 
novelty than regulation singles and doubles.
