Gndnnati Gtin Club* 
Tbe attendance on Washington's Birthday, Feb. 22, was fair. 
The weather was cold and clear. Some good work was done. 
Seven ev;nts at 20, two at 15 and two at 25 targets, a total of 220, 
were shot. 
Ihe challenge issued by Gambell and Barker to shoot a series 
of ten 100-target races against any two resident amateurs of the 
club, was accepted by Medico and Davies, and the first two 
matches of the series were shot to-day. Messrs. Gambell and 
Barker won both of them by a total of 351 to 320, which gives 
them a good lead of 31, with 800 more targets to be shot at. 
Barker shot in most excellent form, steady as clockwork, and 
scored 91 and 90. Medico was high gun in the two races with 94, 
but he fell off to 82 in the second 100. 
Ackley shot in six of the regular events, and was congrattilated 
on the good showing he made. 
Barker made the longest run in the races, breaking 43 straight 
in the first match. Medico's longest run was 3: 
Ihe scores, in a series of 20 targets, follow:

The air was cool on I^eb. 27, but not too much so for comfort. 
There was a light southeast breeze. In the cash prize shoot h:gh 
gun was won by Don Minto, with 46, a score which is nearer to 
his gait of a few months back. Roll was second, with 44, fol- 
lowed closely by Suuderbruch, with 43. 
President J. B. Mosly, chairman; H.. F. Jergen and Dr. A. B. 
Heyl, tournament committee, have prepared an exceptionally at- 
tractive programme for the third annual handicap target tourna- 
ment of the ciub. The ciub offers $2,200 in added money and 
guaranteed purses, and is prepared to take care of three htmdred 
or four hundred shooters. 
G. VV. Schuier, Emil Werk and the rest of the party which 
visited Florida a short while ago, returned home the first of the 
week. They had some good shooting and fishing, the latter 
especially being excellent, bass, sheepshead and red-snappers giv- 
ing them most of their sport. 
Lou Ahlers is slowly recovering from his sickness and will be at 
his old sport of smashing targets before long. 
Falk's score of 36 to-day is very good, when it is taken into 
consideration that he is suffering from a broken rib and his side 
was encased in plaster; left-quarterers he simply could not touch. 
Ackley is doing much better since the weather moderated a lit- 
tle,, and not a man on the grounds but what would be tickled to 
see him break 'em all every time.

BONASA. 
Boston Gwn Club. 
Boston, Mass., Feb. 27.— Forty-three shooters were convinced at 
the Boston Gun Club's afternoon shoot to-day that a Leggett 
trap came as near to perfection as could be. 
Every one was there, judging by the names that appeared on 
the score board. Bob Root and Arnold, traveling from Provi- 
dence; Griffiths, from Pascoag; Coffin, Burbank, Johnson and 
Plambin, from Wh;tinsville; Rule, from Lowell; Worthing, from 
Brockton; Frank, Hay and Everett, from Lynn; and a score of 
others from the various other clubs in Boston and vicinity. 
The occasion of this shoot was the first corner in the team match 
between Jiarvard, W atertown and Boston gun clubs, one shoot to 
be held on each grounds, and the team breaking the greatest 
number of targets to be declared the winner. 
As will be seen by the score, the Boston team, under Capt. 
Woodruff's able management, secured a 5-target lead over the 
W'atertown's Independent team, though the scores were much 
lower than we had reason to expect. The conditions, however, 
were not conducive to high averages, as the northeast wind, and 
intermittent snow most certainly played a big figure, for no 
sooner did the shooter get in position than a gust of wind would 
change the whole situation, and those who labored under the dis- 
advantage of spectacles, etc., were handicapped with the snow- 
flakes, in ways that the others were unable to realize. 
■ Three thousand eight hundred and fifty targets were trapped in 
just over four hours, something which has never been done before 
on our grounds, and does great credit to the shooters, showing 
that they were ready to shoot and in their positions at the proper 
time, helping the squad hustler not a little, as the most dis- 
agreeable part of a large shoot is a squad that is never ready. 
The club, while having a fair amount of heip ready for work, 
was not quite prepared for the sized shoot it turned out to be, 
and we are very much indebted to Hodsdon, of the Watertown 
club'; Straw, Everett and Frank, of the Birch Brook Club; Lane, 
one of the club's regular attendants, though not shooting to-day, 
and Collins. Without the help of these ever-ready helpers, the B. 
G. C. wouM have been a trifle worried; but having such friends on 
our list, it seems as though we were always taking advantage and 
remaining in their debt. We hope to be able to return the com- 
pliments soon, as trapshooting is on the rise now, and all clubs 
will .start up for summer series within the next few months. 
The compiler of scores, F. P. Miller, was easily kept busy dur- 
ing the entire afternoon, but he was there and ready, the an- 
nouncing of the winners and individual leader being made im- 
mediately upon completion of event No. 8, and causing consid- 
erable talk as to the correctness and quick way of keeping results. 
Individual honors of the shoot were ably taken care of by 
Baldwin, the old Pennsylvania crack, making his initial shoot on 
these grounds quite a memorable one, and though pushed to the 
limit by Burbank, a well placed 15 straight clinched the lead by 
just one target. 
The club's regular attendant, Frank, was very close to both, 
82 out of the 100 targets being his effort, a loss of 13 targets out of 
the first 50 being disastrous, as the last half netted an even 45. 
The next shoot in this series will take place on the grounds of 
the Boston Shooting Association, under the auspices of the 
Harvard Shooting Club, and will go quite a ways toward picking 
out the winner. Other scores:

head Bay Gun Club selected this day to decide a match of which 
the loser had to pay for a dinner for twenty-five men to be served 
at Mr. Ira McKane's hotel. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all 
shooters present. The scores were not very high, the result of a 
cold gale blowing across the traps. Mr. Montanus had to allow 
his opponent 10 targets in 50, and won by only one target.

Osdning Gun Qub. 
OssiNiNG, N. Y., Feb. 28.— The inclosed scores were made at a 
practice shoot of the Ossining Gun Club, held on Washington's 
Birthday, Feb. 22. The attendance was good, considering the 
fact that the shoot was not announced. The feature of the day 
was the performance of Abe Aitchison, the club's care-taker, a man 
seventy-si:': years old, who broke 7 bluerocks out of 10, gun be- 
low elbow. Abe has been a good one in his time and can still 
"trini" most of the young fellows at "gun below elbow" shooting. 
A gusty wind made hard shooting. Cup shoot Saturday, 
March 5.

PUBLISHERS' DEPARTMENT. 
Hr. J. H. Rushton, of Canton, N. Y., has been making canoes 
and advertising his product in the. Forest and Stream for about 
a generation, and there is no canoe builder whose name is more 
familiar to that portion of the public which purchases canoes. 
Besides canoes, he makes pleasure boats, oars, paddles, sails and 
fittings, all of which are fully described in the catalogue, wh.-h he 
offers to send to any one applying for it. 
To many a man desiring a new gun, a second-hand arm is pre- 
cisely as useful as a new one, and far more nearly within his 
means. Even if a man does not wish to purchase a gun, it is 
always a pleasure to look over a list in which guns are fully de- 
scribed. Such a list is the one for March, issued by Messrs. 
Schoverling, Daly & Gales, 302-304 Broadway, New York, which 
this well-known house offers to mail on application.
