Boston Gtjn Clwb. 
Boston, Mass., April l.-The Boston. (3un Club's regular 
Wednesday shoot took place to-day on their Wellington grounds, 
and a more enjoyable occasion could not be asked for. 1 wenty 
shooters furnished the enjoyment. Secretary Hallam, aiid W ent- 
worth coming all the way from Dover to be there Griffiths and 
Cake from Providence. Tozier from Haverhill, and all the regu- 
lars you could think of, not forgetting the new faces of Nowelles 
and one or two friends who seemed to keep in the fast company 
without much trouble. Bell again was out for keeps, averaging 
second high for the afternoon, sharing first honors in the prize 
match and securing the only 15 straight of the afternoon. Harvard 
can well thank herself that she has such good material for future 
interests, as we are told that Yale is not far behind, and waiting 
"^One' of^the^welcome changes noted during the afternoon was 
Frank's recovered form, and now we all think it will be a, differ- 
ent story from now out. Let us hope so anyway as Franks 
shooting lately has not been what we expected from him, and we 
have been trying to figure out what was the matter. Wc did not 
do it however, but he apparently has attended to that himselt, 
and once again is on easy street. Other scores follow:

j\^pril'g_The regular weeklv shoot of the Boston Gun Club was 
held here to-day, and the inclement weather prevented a large 
attendance, just nine shooters braving the elements, and are now 
on the fence as to whether they should have been there or not. 
Tust one clean score marred the afternoon's sport, Frank making 
that' mistake, and also securing high average for the afternoon; 
not really a Heikes or Gilbert average, but very creditable for our 
grounds. Woodruff, too, was much in evidence, securing first 
position in the prize match, and running second to l<rank for 
high average. Other scores as follows

April 11,— The Boston Gun Club's annual team shoot takes place 
on their grouftds at Wellington, April 29, and we wish to extend 
ah invitation to any shooter in the United States happening to 
be in this vicinity at that time, and we assure him he would be 
more than welcome. 
This is the fourth annual contest of this kind that the club has 
held, each one going the former one just a little better, and this 
year's promises to be a repeated success, some ten teams of five 
men each having been entered, and a few more to hear from. 
The club itself has not been idle in preparing for this shoot, an 
extra set of traps having been installed with electric pulls, which 
with the regular ma^autrap, constitutes the trapping facilities and 
puts the club in position to take care of any number of shooters. 
There is also a long-felt want in Boston and vicinity to see the 
crackerjacks shoot, and while we only put up prizes for the ama- 
teurs on this occasion, tlicre would be no place that the expert 
would be more welcome than on our grounds. In fact, it is some 
years since any of the Western cracks graced our platform, and if 
there were a possible chance, we would like them to tread our 
festive boards once again, and see how they have grown. 
But, then, we realize that Boston is just a trifle out of the 
regular route, still this does not prevent us from wanting them 
to come, and nothing would stimulate trapshooting circles in 
this vicinity more than a visit by. these expert exponents of fire- 
arms, powder and shells.

Ossining Gun Clob. 
OssiNiNG, N. Y., April 11. — The members of tlie Ossining Gun 
Club, at their regular Saturday shoot to-day were glad to have 
as guests two of the best exponents of the fine art of shooting in 
and around New York, Dr. Martin and Bob Schneider. 
The competition was keen, for the Ossining boys, though not 
out in great force, were intent on getting high average on their 
own grounds. One of the members of the prize committee came 
vip during the shoot with the medal this club is to donate to the 
shoot in June. The medal cost $100, and is most appropriately 
designed, the main pendant is a clay bird, on which is the arms 
of the State of New York and proper wording. In the space 
between this and the bar is a 1-karat diamond on a small pendant. 
This medal is for the amateur championship of the New York

Island under the auspices of the Grand Island and North Platte 
gun clubs, was one of the best attended, most spirited and best 
regulated tournaments held in the State this year. There was 
three days' shooting, with a daily entry list of over forty, among 
whom was champion Bill Crosby, of O' Fallon, 111. In the two 
days he shot he dropped but two targets out of 250 shot at, but 
being a professional, was barred from getting in on the money. 
Billy Townsend, the popular sporting goods man, of this city, 
captured the Dickey Bird cup, emblematic of the State's cham- 
pionship, with 47 out of 50, against thirty-nine competitors. W. 
H. Kerr, of Concordia, Kas., won the high average. 
The Grand American Handicap at targets opens up at Kansas 
City next Tuesday, and Billy Townsend will chaperone a dele- 
gation of Nebraska shooters to the scene of action, leaving via 
the St. J. & K. C. R. R. next Monday night. In Townsend's 
bunch will be Sandy McDonald, Dave Morrell, Frank Dvorak, 
Toe Dreisbach, and Frank Togg, of Omaha; Frank Beard, of
