Boston Gun Club* 
Wellington, Mass.— The final shoot in Boston Gun Club sprnig 
Prize series occurred at Wellington, April 25.- Everything but the 
scores conspired to a noteworthy close, weather and attendance 
being fine. The scores were noteworthy in a way — that of mediocre 
qualitj', but one or two shooters approaching their regular average. 
The wind was partially responsible for this state of affairs, but 
the day being mild and sunny few complaints were heard. 
The Haverhill and Brockton clubs were well represented, and a 
number of ladies also graced the occasion. Mrs. C. F. Lambert, 
who came out with her husband, thus celebrated a first appear- 
ance, after a lengthy and severe siege of typhoid fever. Mrs. 
Kirkwood, the Misses Horny, Innes, Potter and Kirkwood were 
the other ladies who honored the club, apparently much inter- 
ested in the work of the shooters. 
Scores are fully given below. It will be seen that Mr. B. Lcroy 
secured possession of the gun cabinet, first prize, and it proved 
a very popular win. In a class by himself as regards handicap 
he attended ten of the fifteen shoots and invariably shot a steady, 
consistent gait. Mr. A. H. Baker, 16yds., won second with 
practically as good a score. Spencer, ISyds., was close behind, 
winning third prize. The handicaps seemed fairly adjusted to 
bring about so close a result. 
A new series follows imnicdiatelj', on Wednesdays, just the 
same, excepting holidays, and tinder similar conditions. Scores

Pcntz Pin and Macalester Cup. 
Baltimore, Md., April 29.— You may be able to use the in- 
closed from my pen in regard to the Macalister cup and Penlz 
pin : 
At the opening of the live-bird shooting season last fall the 
Baltimore Shooting Association had two prizes donated— a hand- 
some cluster pear! pin, the gift of Mr. Jacob Pentz, ot New^ ork, 
and a silver loving cup, donated by Mr. Charles Macalester of 
this citv. The latter has just been won by H. P. Collins, ine 
conditions governing the contests for these prizes were formulate/ 
by the board of governors of the Association, and provided tlia.. 
they should be open only to members of the Association, and 
consist of seven races of 10 live birds each, handicap races, the 
first race for the Jacob Pentz pin to be held on the second Saturday 
in September last, and the final race on the second Saturday ot 
last March; and that in order for a contestant to qualify it would 
be necessary to shoot in at least five races of the series, and the 
total of a contestant's five highest scores would determine his 
standing as regarded the prize. Mr. James R. Malpne was the 
furtunate winner of the pearl pm, finishing the race with a total ot 
50 points; Mr. Hood Waters was second high man with a score 
of 48; Mr. John W. Edel was third with 4(, and H. P. Collins 
^°The fi'rst race, for the Macalester cup, was shot on the third 
Saturday of October last and continued through November, Ue- 
.ember" January, February, March and April. The conditions 
governing contests for this cup provided that the final race should 
be shot on Saturday, April 21 (last Saturday), and all ties, if 
any were to be shot off, on Saturday, the 28th. 
Owing to the unseasonable weather there were but a stnaU 
number of the members out on last Saturday, and the seventh and 
final race for the cup was not shot. At that time there were no 
ties and only two who had any chance of winning viz.: ±1. 1. 
Cofiins wi?h a score of 46 out oJ a possible 50 and Hood Waters 
with 43. Mr. CoUins had contested in six of the seven races, and 
Mr Wkters in five. The board of governors of the Association 
have decided that inasmuch as the final race was not shot on last 
Saturday as required by the conditions, the series of races 
was closed and upon the showing made by the scores that Mr. 
Collins was the high man, there being no ties, awarded the cup 
^°MrTa«es R. Malone, the winner of the Pentz prize announced 
him'^elf early in the contest that he was not contesting for the 
iXor dse^here might-and would in all P^t'^b^V'^^t ofa oos"^ 
another ending to this story, as he had a score of 47 out of a pos 
sible 50, and has been shooting in fine form of late. i-RYOR.

The third event, according to the programme, was to be at live 
birds, but owing to their scarcity this event was omitted and the 
remainder of the day was devoted to target shooting. In the first 
target event the three ties on 25 targets Were shot off miss-and-out. 
Sievers won first prize; Connor second, after a spirited shoot-off 
with Herr, in which he broke .31 straight. Third prize was won 
by Burk, fourth by Townsend, and fifth prize by John Dorgan. 
Second Day, Thursday, April 19. 
There was fine weather, favoring the shooters, and good per- 
formance marked the competition. Mr. W. R. Crosby, of O'Fallon, 
111., broke 105 targets straight, raising a doubt as to whether he was 
able to miss a target at all, and in the 25-live-bird event, standing 
at 31yds., he killed all of them. 
In the squad shooting Parmelee, Bray, Crosby, Connor and 
Rogers made an excellent competition. IJray scored 212 out of 
215 shot at, a performance of a first class degree. 
In target event No. 7 for the silver cup, Mr. H. J. Taylor of 
Meckling, S. D., won. He had a handicap of 1 target, and it 
enabled him to tie with J. W. Garrett, of Colorado Springs; W. 
1-1. Herr, of Concordia, Kan., and George Peterson, of Coon 
Rapids, la., who broke straight. Taylor and Garrett tied on 25 
each in the shoot-off, and the former broke 24 to 23 by the latter 
in the second shoot-off and won. In the merchandise event at 50 
targets the 5 allowed John Dorgan enabled him to score 50, he 
breaking 45. and he won the Winchester shotgun. Crosby got
