Boston Gun Club* 
Boston, Jan. 29— Twenty-four shooters were on hand to smash 
bluerocks at the fifth serial prize shoot of the Boston Gun Club, 
held on their Wellington grounds to-day, and though the ther- 
mometer was 'way down the majority stayed right through the 
programme, first getting half frozen "trying to find 'em," and then 
warming up for a while at the fireside listening to the various whys 
and wherefores of the unfortunates. 
Looking at the scores and summing up the number of straights 
made, it would seem as though no one was shooting, Worthing 
being the only party guilty of such an offense, and he seemed 
very well pleased with one in a 10-target event. 
The prize match had to be started late, owing to the raagautrap 
needing a little repairing, but after getting started was doubly 
interesting. Howe turned out to be the right man in first position, 
and ably took care of it with a 21, none of which were doubtful 
breaks. Leroy, as usual well up in the bunch, came in <--cc-M 
tied with Ford, with 19 to their credit. Next in line were Dickey 
and Whitten with 16, the former keeping company with Leroy on 
the 21yd. mark, and was a welcome visitor, it being his first ap- 
pearance on the ground for quite a long time. Other scores as

Glover vs, Knowltoo. 
Interstate Park, L. I., Jan. 29.— The match between Dr. J. G. 
Knowlton and Mr. Sim Glover, shot at Interstate Park to-day, 
was one of unusual interest. It was a fine up-hill race on the 
part of Dr. Knowlton. Out of his first 7 he lost 3 dead out and 
losing 2 more in the first 25, he scored 20. Mr. Glover scored 24. 
the first misses in the 25 practically decided the race. 
In the second 25 Glover killed straight, while his opponent was 
but one less. The third 25 was a tie on 23. In the last quarter, 
JJr. Knowlton shot a splendid up-hill finish, scoring 24 to his 
opponents 22. The total was: Glover 94, Knowlton 91. A snow- 
storm, steady but light, prevailed, and this, in the absence of 
wind, made the birds, which were a good lot, slow flyers The 
match was for a purse of $200. Dr. Knowlton has been shooting 
very little of late, was out of practice, and therefore far from his 
best torm. Mr. J. S. Fanning acted as referee. The scores follow:

WESTERN TRAPS. 
Chicago, III., Feb. 1.— The Chicago live-bird shooters to-day 
will not be out m very great force, and those who do will meet a 
typical raw bleak Chicago air. It is time there was a bigger 
entrance at Watson s Park of men who want to get into training 
for the Grand American Handicap. 
At Racine. 
Mr. Oswald Von Lengerke, who tied with Mr. H. S. Blake of 
Racine, at Watson's, on 45 out of 50 live birds a couple of weeks 
ago, shoots a second race to-day with Mr. Blake at Racine under 
the same conditions. The same shooter meets another Racine 
man, Mr. Jackson I. Case, soon after the close of the Blake race. 
South Side against Racine. 
The winning of the team race bv Racine this week at Milwaukee 
in their contest with the South Side Gun Club, of the latter city, 
by a score of 46 to 40, six-man teams, has put the South Side 
shooters on their mettle. Heretofore the shoots have been for fun 
hut the South Side men on Feb. 8 will go to Racine and shoot 
the Racine team for the price of the birds and expenses. 
Chicago Party for the Grand American. 
Mr. E. S. Rice, of the Dupont Powder Company, will get up a 
special car party to start from Chicago for Kansas City for the 
(.rand American Handicap. At this date it is stated hat eighteen 
members have been signed for this trip, not all of these, however, 
coming from this city. It is certain that Chicago and all our 
adjacent towns ought to send strong delegations to the big event 
this spring. The Legislature of Missouri is not going to monkey 
with the live-bird business, and there will be a wide open good 
time for everybody. 
Ht. Carroll Gun Club of Iowa. 
Interest attaches to the amateur shooting tournament of the Mt. 
Carroll, la., Gun Club, Feb. 25-27, from the fact that this is a 
young club holding its first tournament. The citizens of Mt. 
Carroll subscribed $400 in added monev within twenty-four hours 
after it was decided to hold the shoot. The tournament will be 
nicely handled at the fair grounds under the management of j. L. 
Forquer, of Lake View, whose record is one of success. ' Mr 
Forquer will furnish programmes at Lake View, la., on applica- 
tion. The shoot will be at 10-target events each day, $10 added to 
each event, 200 birds per day. Sergeant svstem. In addition there 
will be three average cups offered; one for 85 per cent, or better, 
one to those less than 85 per cent., and one to the manufacturers'' 
agent making the highest average through the programme. , This 
'if a i_ Very courteous wa Y of treating the manufacturers' agents, and 
both the latter and professionals are cordially invited to attend 
an T to r ?, hoot for t5le P r ice of the targets. Cup ties will be shot 
off at 50 targets, purses divided four moneys. On the last day 
there will be a 20-live-bird handicap, $10 entrance. Go to Mt 
Carroll. 
Hartford Building, Chicago, HI. ^' ^ OUGH ' 
Garfield Gun Club. 
Chicago, Feb. 1.— The appended scores were made on our 
grounds to-day on the occasion of the second shoot of the second 
series. A. D. Dorman and Dr. Mathews divided the honors in 
Class A, both killing 11 out of 12; F. G. Barnard won Class B 
trophy on 9, and A. McGowan class C on 8. 
o/, T1 15- birds were a good ,ot < on,y three sitt ers developing in about 
300 birds trapped. The ground was covered with snow and the 
sun shining on it made it dazzling to the eves, and a white bird 
was almost invisible. 
No wind and not too cold. All things considered, it was a very 
decent midwinter day for trapshooting. Mr. Lard, of New York 
came out to show the New Westley-Richards single trigger gun' 
In the opinion of the writer, the single trigger is sure to be the 
next step in advance in modern shotguns, and in a few years the 
double trigger gun will be a back number.

New England Interstate Team Contest. 
To the trapshooters of Maine, Connecticut, New Hampshire 
Vermont and Rhode Island: 
In 1901 the proposition was favorably received that an interstate 
match among teams from the above-named States and Massachu- 
setts could be arranged; but owing to the lateness of the season 
the matter was not definitely settled. 
In order to make such a match and furnish an opportunity for 
a friendly contest at the traps, we make this proposition in behalf 
of Massachusetts: 
Massachusetts will enter a team of five men or more in a con- 
test with teams from any or all of the other New England States. 
The contest to consist of a shoot in each State which enters a 
team; each man on the respective teams to shoot at 100 birds at 
each shoot, and the aggregate of the scores in all the shoots to de- 
termine the winner. 
Entrance fee, times and places for the shoots to be mutually 
agreed upon. 
Communications from shooters in New England upon this sub- 
ject are hereby requested,

Brooklyn Gun Club. 
Brooklyn, L. I., Jan 30.— There were fourteen contestants at the 
100-targe handicap of the Brooklyn Gun Club to-day, notwithstand- 
ing the cold fierce wind and wintry aspect of the landscape. The 
conditions of the 100-target race were as follows: "Three trophies 
to tne three high guns. Entrance $2, targets included; handicap- 
a lowance. The management will also donate $10 in gold to the 
shcoter making the highest score in this event, handicap allow- 
ances not being counted. The winner of this cash prize will not 
be entitled to win one of the trophies." 
Capt A. W Money annexed the $10 in gold with a score of 95 
without any handicap allowance. Considering wind and weather, 
it was an extraordinary performance. The contestants, handicap 
allowances, and scores at 25 targets, and the totals without the 
handicap allowances and with the handicap allowances, follow;

Arkansas Championship. 
LinxE Rock Ark., Feb. 1— I beg to inform you that the in- 
augural contest for the live-bird championship of Arkansas will be 
held at Little Rock, Feb. 26. This will be a 25-bird race, the en- 
™f to .which will simply be price of birds, though there will be 
a $10 optional sweep for the benefit of those who desire to make 
the attair more interesting. Interstate rules will govern and all 
contestants will shoot from the 30yd. mark. Entries for this event 
must b e> accompanied with a forfeit of $5, and be made not later 
than be*. 20. This is necessary for the reason that pigeons are 
very scarce and the management must have some way of knowing 
how many birds to provide. 
Heretofore the sportsmen of Arkansas have had no live-bird 
trophy to compete for, but recently the Peters Cartridge Co 
with characteristic liberality, have generously donated a beautiful 
emblem m the shape of an elegant watch charm, of appropriate 
design and inscription. - v 
The winner in the inaugural contest will be subject to challenge 
and must defend the trophy every thirty days if called on, though

Smithtown Gun Club. 
Smithtown Jan. 28.— The weekly shoot of Smithtown Gun Club 
was held on Monday, Jan. 27. The attendance was small on ac- 
count of the unpleasant weather. Event No. 7 was for a gold 
medal and was won by E. E. Smith. The fresh breeze from the 
west, blowing across the traps, made the targets dip and twist, 
and some of the boys had quite a lot of trouble in finding them 
as the scores will show:
