Boston Gun Club. 
Boston, Mass., May 27.— The third weekly shoot of the Boston 
Gun Club was held at Wellington to-day, eighteen shooters toeing 
the mark, for their regular weekly outing with all sorts of .com- 
binations. 
It is really surprising to see the different ideas of eighteen' or 
twenty shooters, all with some distinct preference, and invariably 
ready to defend it with all the powers of a Henry Clay. One 
with a double-jointed, krtock-knecd weapon for shooting left eye 
from right, seemed to find considerable difficulty in hitting any- 
thing but his nose, stoek of gun being too short, and not quite 
the proper dimensiorts, and 20 shots with this killing both ends 
weapon settled it for once and for all. 
Charlie Kneil's single trigger also was out of kilter, and acted 
at times like a balky automobile; but that did not bother him in 
his afternoon's sport. 
Individual honors in the prize match were taken care of by the 
worthy president of the Watertown Gun Club, at the present time 
one of the liveliest clubs in the State, and everything points to 
it being one of the leading clubs, some 100 names being on its 
membership list. 
Kirkwood, of the home club, was second, pairs being his 
\\'aterloo. Andres third with 18. Other scores as follows;

Topefca Gun Club. 
ToPEKA, Kans.— Tuesday, May 26, was a sort of field day for the 
Topeka Gun Club. It was the date of the match between the 
two teams composed of Dr. F. C. Burkett and C. H. Morton, and 
J. J. Gorman and Chas. Kleinhans. The two last named chal- 
lenged Burkett and Morton to shoot a team race at 50 blue- 
rocks each— 100 to the team— and in spite of the threatening weather 
the match was shot to a finish before an interested and enthusi- 
astic audience. A hard south wind prevailed; rain fell all morn- 
ing, ceasing about noon. A dark, lowering sky made a miserable 
hackground, against which it was almost impossible to see the 
fast-flying clay birds, which were thrown from three expert traps 
screwed up to the last notch. With good weather conditions, 
much better scores would have been made, and as it was, the 
shooting was of a very high grade, considering all the diawbacks. 
Gorman and Kleinhans have attended many large tournaments, 
and are considered crackerjacks. In fact, the odds seemed all 
in their favor, and it was thought presumptuous on the part of 
the other two shooters to engage in a match with them. But 
Burkett and Morton had a shot or two coming, and worked in a 
surprise part}-, winning the match by a close margin and by hard 
and excellent shooting. So close were the scores that near the 
end, with but 10 more birds to shoot, the teams were tied. Gor- 
man and Kleinhans each lost one bird, and Burkett and Morton 
finished out with straight kills, which gave them the match. 
Following are the scores, 50 bluerocks per man, 100 birds to the 
team. Referee, L. Biscoe; 
Dr F C Burkett. .11110010111011100111111110101001111001111010011111—35

The feature of the shooting was the remarkable work of Charlie 
Kleinhans, who was high man with but 6 misses. Morton was 
next with 8 misses, while Burkett and Gorman shot away below 
their usual average. This was mainly due to the high wind, which . 
made the flight of the birds so uneven. 
Grantville, seven miles east of Topeka, where Charlie Kleinhans 
lives, has quite a flourishing gun club. Three of the members, 
Geo. Zarns, Dick Burrows and Chas. Cox, came down through 
the mud to witness the match and participated in the usual club 
event at 25 bluerocks. In this match the following scores were 
made: L. Biscoe 18, D. Burrows 17, Geo. Zarns 17, J. C. Elliott

Hell Gate Gun Club. 
Carlstadt, N. J. — Little Johnny Schlicht was very much in 
evidence on Tue»day of last week at the monthly club shoot of 
the Hell Gate Gun Club, which was held at Cutwater's ground, 
Hackensack River Bridge, N. J. Thirty members faced the 
score, Out of which Treasurer Schlicht was the only one to kill 
10 straight, thereby making four points that count on the yearly 
average, and it was a case of an apple on Johnny. 
Pierce, Brennen and F"oster had the misfortune to lose their 
ninth bird, while Billy Sands' fourth dropped dead out of 
bounds. Louis Muench, Lang, Little Pete scored 8 kills each. 
The birds were a very fast lot, especially the first 60, out of 
which only 31 were retrieved. W. G. Wilson, a former member, 
shot along as a guest, while J. Hughes, scorer, failed to count, 
as the time limit is 3:30. 
Refreshments were in order, as usual. . Scores, with handicaps,

Chesapeake Gun Club. 
Newport News, Va., May 28.— The Chesapeake Gun Club 
pulled off the biggest shoot of the season at the park at Riverview 
yesterday afternoon. A live-bird shoot was scheduled, but the 
club was unable to get the birds, and the shooters had to con- 
tent themselves with clay targets. 
Mr. A. W. Du Bray, of Cincinnati, representative of a large 
wholesale gun company, and a well-known crack field shot, and 
Mr. P. J. Gallagher, of the Portsmouth Club, were the guests of 
the club. 
Mr. Gallagher led the field, making 90 out of 100. Mr. T. F. 
Steames followed him closely with 89, and good scores were made 
by nearly all of the shooters. Messrs. Westacott and Robinson 
made especially good scores considering that they are compara- 
tively "green" at trap shooting. The scores follow:

West Baden Shoot. 
CuicAGO, May 28. — The West Baden Gun Club, of Indiana, 
claims dates of Oct. 14 to 17 inclusive, for the grand tournament 
of the West Baden Handicap at targets, $500 added money. The 
West Baden Hotel management, very well known in the resort 
world, is putting up this added money, and will take the greatest 
interest in making the shoot a success. Any one familiar with 
the lines upon which this company generally acts will understand 
the significance of this. The management confidently expect one 
of the biggest shoots of the season, and certainly the biggest shoot 
given in Indiana this year. The location, surroundings and con- 
ditions for handling a big crowd are ideal. The grounds will be 
located on the lawn directly in front of the hotel. As this, tourna- 
ment will come in the fall, after the heat and burden of the 
regular summer trapshooting season, when all good trapshooters 
may naturally be expected to be somewhat weary, the event ought 
to appeal to the fraternity at large. It is interesting to note that 
that old-time shooting enigma. Jack Winston, is secretary and 
manager. It" will be worth the trip to witness Jack's old and 
newly acquired curves. It is believed that this will be one of the 
biggest of the fall events. E. Hough.
