Boston Shooting: Association Towrnament. 
Boston, Mass. — The finest tournament held in Massachusetts 
since 1888, M'as the verdict rendered by the old-timers upon the 
Boston Shooting Association's two-day tournament at Wellington, 
Mass., .Tune 21 and 28. There were two reasons for the success 
of the meet; first, the managers of the shoot were blessed with 
fair weather on both days, and secondly, the team matches among 
five-man teams from Maine, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and 
Massachusetts, and a special ten-man team match between Maine 
and Massachusetts, drew shooters and spectators from all parts of 
New England, and the shooting of each member of the various 
teams was keenls' watched by a large and enthusiastic crowd of 
friends. 
The five-man team match was the first of a series of four which 
will be held in the New England States for a purse of $200, 
$100 of which is the entrance money from teams from the four 
States entered, and $100 which has been donated by the Chamber- 
lin Cartridge and Target Company through Paul North. In this 
contest Maine secured a lead of 8 birds over Massachusetts with 
a score of 451 out of 50O. Massachusetts came second with 43, 
Rhode Island third with 435, and New Hampshire fourth with 398. 
The conditions m this match were 100 birds for each man at 
unknown angles. The next shoot in this series will be held at 
Providence, R. I., in July, and the winner will he. determined by 
the aggregate of bifds broken in the four shoots. 
The greatest interest, however, was taken in the match between 
ten-man teams from Maine and Massachusetts for a purse of $100, 
and it certainlj' was the closest and most exciting contest ever 
shot between ten-man teams. The averages made by both teams 
must surely be new records. Massachusetts averaged .912 per 
cent, per man, and Maine .90S per cent, per man, each man shoot- 
ing at 100 birds, 50 unknown and 50 known angles. Massachusetts 
won by the small margin of 4 birds in 2,000 in a hair-raising finish, 
and the members of the team were heartily congratulated by their 
•courteous opponents from the Pine Tree State. 
A similar match will be shot in Maine in August, and a third at 
some neutral ground later. 
Two sets of traps w-ere used, one Sergeant system and one set of 
five bluerock expert traps. More than 20,000 birds were thrown in 
the two days, and the traps worked very smoothly. The fine 
breaking qualities of the birds manufactured by O'. R. Dickey 
called forth many favorable comments from the visiting shooters, 
as there were certainly not more than half a dozen dusted targets 
during the. two days. 
On Saturday every train that stopped at Wellington poured out 
its quota of sljooters, so that the management was fairly swamped, 
and at 3 P. M. all further entries had to be rejected in order 
that the team matches might be finished. Shooting was continuous 
from 9 A. M. until 7 P. M., with the. exception of an hour for 
dinner. Mr. Dill, the caterer, a member of the Association, pro- 
vided the dinner each day, and it was 'deserving of the many 
praises it received. 
Among the celebrities present outside of New England, were 
J. A. R. Elliott, who shot in splendid form, winning high average 
both days: E. Banks, S. Glover, T. H. Keller, Haze Keller, 
Doremus, T. Morfey, Dick Swiveller, and S. Van Allen. 
The weather conditions the first day were unfavorable to high 
scores; the wind blew the targets about in rag-time melody, and 
nearly every miss was caused by over-shooting. 
On the second day the same conditions prevailed in the morn- 
ing, but after dinner the wind softened down, and fine conditions 
prevailed for good scores. 
The scores for both days, including the record of the team 
matches, follow :

The Wellingfton Tournament. 
DuNBARTON, N. H., July 1. — Editor Forest and Stream: The Bos- 
ton Shooting Association were favored with good weather and a 
large attendance at their recent tournament. It was a great pleas- 
ure to me to meet so many of my old friends of the shooting 
fraternity, and also numerous new men whom I know only by 
reputation. 
First of all comes J. A. R. Elliott. I had not seen Elliott since 
February, 1885, when I met him in New Orleans. Elliott was the 
star of the tournament. Old gray-headed shooters and their 
numerous younger brothers were eager to see and know him. 
Elliott came East, hunting for clams and sea breezes — crops which 
the v.'ooly West did not produce. From force of habit he came to 
Wellington. As to his shooting, the scores tell the story. I can 
onlj say that it became somewhat monotonous to see him break 
targets. There was no variety to it — a broken target in front of 
his pump and an empty shell flying from the breech at the same 
time seemed to be about all. 
There were many others of considerable fame in the shooting 
world: T. H. Keller, of Ideal Cartridges, was on hand, as lithe 
and graceful as ever. I think that Tee Kay and I mutually ad- 
mire each other. Now I am quite sure that Tee Kay has dis- 
covered the fountain of perpetual youth, and I think it is mean of 
him that he does not print of how he found and uses it and 
inclose a copy in everj' box of his best-on-earth cartridges. It 
woiild beat the prize candy package out of sight. For some time 
he shot in his usual old-time form. A certain event on the pro- 
gramme was called, and Tee Kay was one of the squad. Some of 
his ardent admirers (I think Ed. Banks started it) formed a line 
and followed him to the score. 
When he took his position before calling pull, his admirers 
formed a half circle close by and gave him no end of advice as to 
holding. Some men wouici have been rattled by such doings. 
I think Tee Kay's nerves are made of the same mixture as the 
shot he uses. At all events, I never saw him shoot so well, and 
I decided at once to withdraw my standing offer to shoot him a 
match on the Concord grounds for a million or so a side. The way 
he centered target after target made me think that any one could 
learn to shoot. When the score was finished, he bowed gracefully 
to his supporters and said, "No charge, gentlemen, for the lesson 
I have given you. Shoot Ideal cartridges, hold as I do and you 
will get there every time." 
As for the inter-New England team match, Massachusetts ought 
to have won. For some reason their crackerjacks failed to 
cracker. At the last moment New Hampshire entered a team. 
For what reason that team entered I fail to see. The first match 
went to the Pine Tree State, and they earned it. The Maine men 
were good fellows, even if one of them did try to inveigle me 
into a match. 
A stranger came to me and said, "I read your offer in Forest 
ATiv Stream to match two old fellow-s up your way against any two 
of equal age, and I will take it up." I had no idea this man came 
from Skowhegan or some other settlement in Maine where the;' 
have moose, bears and other things, but when I found he intended 
to put up two Maine men, I told him to read again my challenge 
and he would find that it was surrounded with a barbed-wire 
fence forty feet high, which ran straight around the boundaries of 
New Hampshire. 
We all had a good time at Wellington. Those who won did not 
have to waste much time counting their winnings. Elliott has 
no doubt blown his in on clams and sea air. There is just one 
point I criticize about this tournament: There were not assist- 
ants enough to handle it. Dickey and another man struggled with 
the scores, figuring out who won and the amount, and got some- 
what balled up, The scorers usually acted as judges. This is not 
the way to run a tournament according to my old-fashioned idea. 
C. M. Stark. 
, ,, The Fourth at Omaha. 
The shooting fraternity of Omaha celebrated the Fourth of 
July in very appropriate style. The Dickey Bird Gun Club gave 
an all-day tournament at its elegant grounds north of the city. 
This is a new organization of 40 odd members, and will do much 
good work before the year is out. The day was very favorable, 
except for a hard cross wind, which made the flight of targets so 
erratic that but few straight scores were made all day. F. C. Riehl 
won first and H. S. McDonald second average on the regular 
programme, and in all, fifty men participated. 
Two club trophy contests were held in conclusion, for Class 
A and B medals. Parmelee and Fogg tied on 25 in Class A and 
did not shoot off. The Class B honor was won by W. Hooper 
with 24. 
This was Frank Parmelee's first appearance at the traps in many 
months, and it will be seen that he has not lost form. The scores 
follow: 
No. 9 was Class A medal; No. 10 Class B medal.
