Boston Gun Club. 
Boston, Mass., April 29.— The Boston Gun Club's fourth annual 
team shoot was held on their grounds to-day, sixty-one shooters 
being in attendance, making the tournament one to be remem- 
bered as time flies by. The weather clerk simply outdid himself, 
furnishing a June day, warm and balmy enough to allow all to 
divest of coats, sweaters, etc., and take things easy in shirt 
sleeves, which was quite sufficient evidence that each particular 
shooter was enjoying himself to the limit. 
To state who was there would take a good long time, and even 
then, we doubt our ability to speak of all; but not a few came 
from long distances to join us on this festive occasion. E. C. 
Griffith, Pascoag, R. I.; Root and G. A. Clark, Providence, R. I.; 
N. A. Cutler, 1. O. Converse and S. P. Wilder, Fitchburg; Sec- 
retary Hallan, Corson and Fisher, Dover, N. H. ; S. M. Gon- 
zales, N. C. Tozier, H. Webster and Childs, Haverhill; F. Mill- 
iard, W. Hay, C. A. Alley and Rowe, Lynn, Mass. ; C. F, Kneil, 
Brockton; P. H. Powell, Newport, R. I.; Tenney and Andrews, 
Leominster; H. Boynton, Lowell; S. B. Adams, Portland, Du- 
pont, Ingalls, Phillips, Corbett, Marsalis and Marshall, Harvard 
Shooting Club; R. D. Hodsdon, R. W. Dennison, H, A, Phil- 
brook, Dr. Gleason and Fairbanks, Watertown; E. G. Bullard, 
New Bedford. 
The trade was quite ably represented by B. L. Woodard, 
though at present he is not himself, but improving each day, 
so it will not be long before he is around again, and welcome he 
will be when he begins his regular attendance with us again; 
T. H. Keller, Jr., Neaf Apgar, W. D. Thompson, O. R. Dickey, 
and H. C. Kirkwood. 
The club itself was amply prepared for the large attendance, 
an extra set of expert traps being installed about 30yds. to the 
left of the magautrap, the two sets of traps making a combina- 
tion hard to beat, and able to give a good account of themselves. 
The tournament itself was under the direction of H. C. Kirk- 
wood, most ablv assisted by Mr. F. P. Miller in the office, and 
Mr. J. H. W ild and F. L. Baker as scorers. We also must not 
forget the trappers and pullers, as they are part of a successful 
shoot, and they certainly did work like Trojans, and never quit 
till the shooters packed up their guns and grips and departed. 
At 12 o'clock the club's upstairs room was thrown open for 
lunch, and safe to say there were very few but full squads that 
made their way there. This part of the programme was in charge 
of Miss H. J. Kirkwood and Mrs. H. C. Kirkwood, and needless 
to mention each indr\'idual was looked after in the best possible 
manner. The club certainly fared well in having such managers 
of inner-man necessities as the two ladies proved to be, and 
many congratulations were received on this point. 
The conditions for shooting were indeed very good, at one time 
a slight drawback being a strong southeast wind; but as it soon 
died aw'ay, there were no kicks coming on this. Naturally 
enough, the interest centered in the team match, Fitchburg 
Watertown, Haverhill, Birch Brook, Harvard and Boston lining 
UD for honors with the Providence Gun Club and Keller Dubs, 
shooting along to increase the interest. After the last pop of the 
guns was heard, totals summed up and certified, the Fitchburg 
"farmers," as they style themselves away from home, were easily 
first with 121, a lead of 6 targets ; Boston second with 115, Har- 
vard third with 112, Watertown fourth with 110, Haverhill fifth 
with 99, Birch Brook sixth with 98. The Providence team, shoot- 
ing as an extra team, broke 1 more target than the Fitchburg. 
but were not eligible for the prizes, which consisted of five ster- 
ling silver-mounted stag handle cork screws, and it was not 
long before the winners were wanting to get to Boston to use 
them, and see what kind of luck they brought with them. Tn 
the team match the individual honors rightly belong to Andrews, 
breaking 28 out of 30 in the prettiest way imaginable, each target 
being covered in just the right way, and leaving no doubt as to 
the scoring end. 
Individual honors of the day were taken care of by Griffiths 
in the same old quiet and enviable way of his, his percentage of 
.886 being a good one sure, 70 of his targets being at the 19yd. 
mark. Cutler was a good second in the amateur class, .840 being 
the result of his efforts. Sarge, third with .823. In the expert 
class Apgar led with .846 to his credit, Leroy following close with 
.829. Other scores as follows:
