Boston Gttn Clttb. 
Boston, Mass., March 2. — Fifteen shooters journeyed Welling- 
tonward to-day to take advantage of the best afternoon for trap- 
shooting that could be had at this season of the year, and not 
one of the attendance went away without being very well pleased 
with his weekly outing. A quiet afternoon at Wellington is a 
great treat, most shooters in this section think. The old gun 
club house now seems to ring each week with the jovial feel- 
ing that finds vent within its walls. 
No exceptionally large scores appear at Boston Gun Club shoots, 
as the club caters more to promoting the sociability of trap- 
shooting than the riiSking of records; but the good times that 
take place on week and then give way to the next, are too far 
apart, according to some of the regular attendants' ideas. 
Not so with Henry, the skillful manager of the magautrap, as 
he thinks- Wellington the last place made, having this winter 
shoveled his way through six storms and SYz feet of snow and 
ice; therefore it is no wonder that his ideas are what they are, 
and dead' set, too. 
With all its faults, however, storm or no storm, it is the ideal 
place for a gun club, being only eight minutes' ride from Boston. 
With the conveniences afforded by the Boston Shooting Associa- 
tion, as well as the Boston Gun Club, any shooter can have as 
matly targets thrown for him at any time that he can find an 
hour's time for tecreatioil. Many shooters take advantage of it 
fot- jiist this reasoii, quite a few of to-day's assemblage being busi- 
ness meti .desiting a few hloirierlts' leisure frorh office cares, and 
being sure to find with thfc guri erijoyrtlerit they would not get 
without it. It goes all around, arid trapshootet after tfapshooter 
journeys to Wellington knowing well enough of finding sohie 
kind of trapshooting to satisfy his ardoir a tHfle, if riot all 
through; it really seems as though a trapshooter never has 
enough. 
To-day's events passed Off in fine style, each and every shooter 
being alone on pleasure bent. With our magautrap on its very 
best behavior, which it is most of the time, what more could be 
asked for. 
One of the welcome shooters to-day was Blinn, of the B. A. A., 
entering the trapshooting arena again after an absence of quite a 
few years. The scores hardly show the old-time forrii, but oc- 
casionally a sharp angle would get smothered, so to speak, show- 
ing that the old skill was still there, and just waiting for a little 
use to come round in good shape. 
Another B. A. A. member present was Owens, a new comer in 
the ranks of trapshooters; but. if reports are true, which they 
are, he may be new at one part of the game, but as to breaking 
targets, nearly a 70 per cent, average— not so much newness to 
that. 
The honors of to-day's scores were taken by Frank and Bell, 
leading in the match and team race, and Bell securing the aver- 
age for the afternoon. It was not a runaway, however, as 
Climax, even with a 21yd. mark, was within good hailing distance, 
and with his team mate, Rule, gave good account of themselves 
in the matdh, which is now Hearing concert pitch.

in 1903, shooting a total of 12,030 targets, Mr. Fred .Gilbert, 
using a Parker gun, averaged 93.4 per cent. Many of his' scores 
-were made from the back marks, 22, 21 and 20yds, At live birds, 
in events at Gwensburg, Paducah, St. Louis and Davenport, he 
killed- 219 out of 220 shot at. 
"The Sporting Dog," by Joseph A. Graham, is the latest addi- 
tion-.t'o the American Sportsmen's Library, edited by Caspar- Whit- 
ney. It contains 314 pages of reading matter, written in an enter- 
taining vein, but abounding in much that is historically inaccu- 
rate, and much more that is erroneous concerning the ■ types, 
characteristics, etc., of the dogs 6f which he treats. For in- 
stance,' he confounds mere size with type," whereas a dog, be he 
large or small, may have the same type, and a small dog may begfet 
large progeny and vice versa. Again, he confounds- mere vari- 
ability of species with type, so that between "light type," "large 
type," "field trial type," "any number of Llewellin types," all-i 
idea of type is lost by confounding individual variations as class 
characteristics* ■

Jn considering the purchase of gasoline motors there are certain 
furidaiiieiital matters that the buyer can never afford to negrect-i 
Of these the first is safety, which depends on construction, land 
character , of material used; the second is design, which means 
economy of size and weight — compactness, in^ other words- 
smoothness of action, and symmetry. In so complicated a machirie 
as a motor there are many other points with which perhaps the 
expert alone is familiar, but Vvfithout this foundation no . rnotpr 
can be satisfactory. All these points are claimed for the Toqti'^t 
motor, of Saugatuck, Conn., whose very beautiful circular, ' No. 'S, 
well deserves examination by those who contemplate, building .p-r 
purchasing motor boats. ....
