Montclair, N. J., March 19. — A goodly number of the members 
of the Montclair Gun Club were present to-day at the weekly 
shoot of the club. 
The weather conditions were all that could have been desired, 
and there was no excuse for low scores unless it was that the 
birds were thrown very swiftly. 
This club depends mainly upon its own membership for sup- 
port, and to a very small extent upon outsiders, and has made 
no particular feffort td secure high scores by throwing an easy 
tatget. 
The members' Cup contest continues until the middle of April. 
Ovef 1,500 targets were thrown. Mr. Sim Glover was present to 
demonstrate his powder, and shot along with the club. 
Messrs. Holzderber arid Cross, of the Montclair Golf Club wer§ 
the guests of the club. The scores are appended:

Boston Gun Club. 
BosTOJJ, Mass., March 16.— The patience of fourteen shooters 
was tested to the limit to-day at the regular Wednesday shoot, 
trapping facilities having a matinee for the first time in the history 
of the club and preventing the usual amount of targets from being 
thrown in the endeavor to satisfy the desires of the trapshooting 
aspirants. 
The friends of the club were, as usual, in the majority and did 
not miss one chance in endeavoring to right matters, though it 
was an impossibility, and as a last resort the club set up an 
improvised system, and by the shooters making allowances for 
mistakes, etc., the events were run off in fair style. 
The honors of the afternoon were taken care of by the visitors, 
Griffith and Thomas securing the two leading positions in the 
prize match, and the former averaging high for the afternoon, 
.812 per cent., showing an average of more than the usual from a 
Boston Gun Club standpoint.

Aquidneck Gun Club. 
Newport, R. I.— This week's shoot, postponed from Wednesday 
to Thursday, March 17, was made the occasion for a somewhat 
more pretentious affair; a longer programme was arranged, and 
we had with us several well-known outsiders. 
From Providence came a squad headed by Griffith, including 
Messrs. Root, Bennett, Bain and Arnold. The Canonchet Club 
sent over McArdle, Sorenson, Winter and Burns. These, with 
nine of the locals, made up a very respectable party. 
The day was a raw one for March. A bright sun and no wind 
made shooting a pleasure. 
High average was taken by Griffith with 92 per cent., his score 
including a run of over 40. Second place was taken care of by 
Manchester, who also shot well, running his first 25 straight:

There is nothing more useful, and perhaps nothing more dif- 
ficult to get, than a coat which is waterproof, and at the same 
time comfortable to wear. Rubber clothing— especially for those 
who are performing hard physical work — is uncomfortable on 
account of its lack of ventilation. The Duxback sportsman's 
coat is so called because it "sheds water like a duck's back," and 
we are told that it is made of smooth cloth that will not wrinkle 
or crack. It is said also to be excellently ventilated. A coat 
that will keep out the moisture from without, and permit the 
escape of the moisture from within is an ideal garment, whether 
for fishermen or hunters, and the Duxback clothing appears to 
us well worth investigation. 
With spring and warm weather comes the season for fishing 
upon the wider waters, and for this pursuit nothing is more 
essential than a good boat. The value of the St. Lawrence River 
skiffs and canoes, their durability and the ease 'with which they 
are propelled, are well known, and persons interested in craft of.
