Boston G«n Club. 
Boston, Mass., March 23. — Just eleven shooters toed the mark 
at the eighth weekly prize shoot of the Boston Gun Club to-day 
and found the conditions for shooting just to their liking. No 
wind to speak of, and light just right for all, made good targets 
a reality, a 45yd. steady target, with no hop, skip and a jump, that 
sometimes play havoc with the straight lines on the score sheet. 
And such a day it was; with a warmth like the middle of June, 
and soon made the regulars doflf sweaters and outer garments 
and shoot in the old light jersey, which at all times is a pleasure 
to shooters. 
Many were the straight scores made in the nine events, Rule 
leading with three; Griffiths and Bell next with two; unusually 
good for these grounds. 
But with all the good shooting, the social part of trapshooting 
■was not forgotten, and the remarks made between squads were 
more than humorous, and went to show how really Well a thor- 
ough sportsmanlike attendance enjoys itself. It was also inter- 
esting to note the spirited rivalry between the two high average 
winners cf to-day. 
John Bell has for a long time been thinking (something unusual 
for him) "that it do be funny how that Pascoag, R. I., representa- 
tive comes to our shoot and invariably walks away with all the 
honors, and the next time there will be something doing." John 
was there to-day, and there with both feet, too; and was shooting' 
for keeps, though Griffith dug almost as deep; and when the 
smoke had cleared, just one target separated them on the total, 
and a tie score in the match. John's face fairly beams, the smile 
usually on his face having broadened just a little, a .925 per cent, 
not being generally on the trapshooting seore books of this 
section. 
Griffith, in his usual quiet way, only waits for next time to get 
even, and with that gun and powder combination, is more than 
liable to show us the way to do it. Welcome he will be, sure, 
and the oftener the better. 
Capt. Woodruff's misfortune with a burst barrel in the second 
•vent naturally put a damper on his shooting, but a gun bor- 
rowed from the trapper boy renewed the enthusiasm, and a 90 
per cent, average from then out was the result. After the shoot, 
while receiving the congratulations of all present upon his lucky 
escape, he remarked that "he guessed there were still a few more 
trap shoots for him, as this one was the first of any kind of acci- 
dent in twanty-five years, and unless they come oftener than that 
I shall not worry." 
Another welcome visitor to-day was Fenton, of "gun-below-the- 
elbow" fame, and as usual was right up with the procession, barr- 
ing his 15-target events, which did not net the required amount, 
due wholly to not using the care necessary at all times. Joe, 
however, is not out for the average, just taking one day a week 
with his gun and dog, trapshooting being to him a school f©r 
game hunting. It was a caution, though, to see him handle that 
12-gauge, and would give the advocates of small gauges a good 
deal to think about if they ever should shoot with him in the 
brush. 
The prize match scores proved a boom to all to-day, Frank's 
21 jumping him up to first in the standing, with Bell second, 4 
targets less, and Woodruff 6 targets to the rear. Wait a few weeks 
and the results may be different, as there are a number of good 
scores unfinished as yet. 
Frank and Bell are now making a runaway of the team match, 
a lead of 6 points over the second team being a lead hard to 
overcome.

Mermod-Cabanne and Spencer-Thompson. 
St. Louis, Mo., March 21. — Herewith please find scores of two 
matches at 50 live birds each; one between Messrs. Mermod and 
Cabanne, and the other between Messrs. H. B. Spencer and Sam 
Thompson. The birds were a very fair lot, only about three sit- 
ters in the 200. In the first match, Mr. Cabanne had a little the 
worst of tke deal, and made some beautiful kills with his second 
barrel. With the exception of one, the birds he missed were tow- 
ering incomers. This match between Messrs. Cabanne and Mer- 
mod is one of the three which Mr. Cabanne expects to shoot in the 
near future; the other two being with Mr. Harlow Spencer and 
Mr. Joe O'Neil. 
The match between Messrs. Spencer and Thompson was at 50 
birds, but at the end of the thirtieth round, one of the con- 
testants proposed that they double the number of birds, and double 
the bet; the other 50 to be shot some time this week. A target 
match at 50 pairs resulted in the defeat of Mr. Spencer. 
Interest in the Missouri State shoot, May 23 to 26, is mani- 
festing itself in many ways, and indications are pointing to the 
most successful and best attended shoot ever held in St. Louis. 
The management of DuPont Park, who are promoting the orig- 
inal World's Fair Tent City, and which will be known as "Can- 
vasback Camp," will be ready by May 1 to take care of the 
shooters who may visit St. Louis, and the World's Fair. During 
the State shoot, the last week in May, tbey expect to be able to 
accommodate every shooter attending, which will be a great 
advantage to both shooters and management, saving much valu- 
able time, and giving the shooters a chance to attend the Ex- 
position evenings, etc.

Cincinnati Gun Gub. 
Cincinnati, O. — The following members were unable to shoot' 
tlieir scores in the Parker gun event on March 19, and did so 
later: Modico (12) 100, Barker (14) 100, Dick (22) 100, Harig (40) 
100, Hake, (50) 100, Payne (50) 100, Gambell (10) 98, Muhleman 
(50) 97. 
A three-cornered match was shot on March 21 at 100 targets. 
The scores: Medico 88, Barker 86, Gambell 80. 
March 26 was cold, cloudy and a high wind made the targets 
very erratic. In the cash prize shoot Gambell was high with 43. 
Nye put in an appearance, and in the main event tied Medico for 
third place. Eaton's score of 38 put him near the top. The at- 
tendance was light, owing to the weather, and to the absence of 
some members duck shooting. 
Cash prize shoot, 50 targets, distance handicap: Gambell (16) 43, 
Trimble (22) 40, Maynard (19) 40, Medico (18) 39, Nye (17) 39,

For spring shooting no arm appeals to the sportsman more than 
the .22 caliber rifle. Among arms of this type the Savage .22 
caliber repeater is noteworthy, using the best of the .22 caliber 
ammunition— the short "and long rifle cartridges all in the same 
arm. Perhaps the two strong points of the Savage are accuracy 
and the smooth and easy manner in which it works. "Savage 
quality" is a commonplace term, but it means everything to a 
shooter. Being honestly made. Savage products are sold by the 
manufacturers under the strongest guarantee. The Savage Arms 
Co., P. O., Utica, N. Y., will send catalogue on application.

Mr. Chas. Lancaster, of New Bond street, London, Eng., is 
sending an exhibit of his guns to St. Louis, where they can be 
seen in the Fish and Game Department. The booklet describing 
them is interesting, and the figures show thern to be graceful and 
beautiful weapons. Among them is _the special "Colindian," ball 
and shot gun, which shoots a ball ' accurately up to 100 yards. 
Interesting, too, to the average American, will be the gun with a 
"cast off," for a man shooting from the right shoulder, but using 
the left eye. 
Messrs. Burgess & Packard, whose advertisement is found in 
another column, have taken the business of Mr. Hollis Burgess, 
who has given up yacht brokerage to assume the position of 
treasurer for the Southern Lumber Company, with offices at 
Boston. Mr. W. Starling Burgess has long been well known as a 
naval architect. 
New Adveftisements. 
That is a capital heading which John C. Hopkins & Co., New 
York city, have chosen for their new advertisement. It touches 
the foundation cf things. Camp ought to be "where the weary 
rest" and where one is free from anxiety and worries. Out- 
fitting in these days has become a science as well as an art, and it 
is possible before starting for a man to provide himself with every- 
thing that he needs, so that his outing shall be absolutely free 
from worry. 
The Union Fire Arms Co., Toledo, O., are just_ beginning a 
campaign of advertising to popularize the Union Fire Arms Co. 
They manufacture six-shot repeaters, double-barrel hammerless, 
and double-barrel hammer guns, at prices which are very attrac- 
tive. From their advertisement we understand that they do not 
sell at retail, but refer all inquirers to dealers who are carrying 
their goods. The}' furnish a catalogue which contains much that is 
interesting to gunners, and for which it would be well to apply. 
The large and handsome fishing tackle catalogue of W. J. 
Cummins, North of England Rod Works, Bishop Auckland, 
England, contains in its nearly 200 pages not only everything that 
the angler needs, but also much practical information. Through 
his advertisement in the Forest and Stream Mr. Cummins has 
sold hooks, gut, flies, rods, etc., in many parts of the United 
States. He writes us that he knows of several salmon rivers to let 
in Norway, and in Scotland, and that he will be glad to give 
advice to American anglers who are thinking of going to Norway. 
We have had occasion in previous years to call attention to the 
admirable fishing for brook trout in the streams and lakes of 
western and northern Michigan in the territory traversed by the 
Grand Rapids & Indiana Railway. The road's booklet, "Where 
To Go Fishing," contains a great deal of practical information on 
this popular region, and will be sent on application to Mr. C. L, 
Lockwood, G. P. A., Grand Rapids, Mich. 
The reputation of the Divine hand-made rods was not made 
yesterday, nor is it necessary to say very much about them. They 
come in split-bamboo, Bethabara, Maltese, Greenhart, Dagma and
