Boston Gttn Club. 
' Boston, Mass., May 11.— Shootei's of all sorts and sizes at 16yds. 
to 21, attended in a delegation to-day to end the Boston Gun 
Club spring prize series in as fitting a . manner, as, possible. Such 
a day as it was, too, with thermometer- up in the 70s and .most of 
the time no wind to speak of, making conditions that every , one 
was satisfied with, and, giving a fine chance to make very credita- 
ble scores. Some -19 straight scores were made, the, largest num- 
ber that has ever been niade bn these grounds in an afternoon's 
shoot. 
Frank easily lead on the prize match, and while high , per-, 
centage on the 70 targets shot at, had to allow the old reliable 
Tozier to walk away with high average on programme events. 
Worthing, of Brockton, also suffered in this way, though making 
high run of breaks for the afternoon. C. P. Blinn's new pigeon 
gun turned out to be just as good a shooter as a looker, and in 
C. P.'s hands will bear watching in the future; .838 per cent, is not 
half bad for a new gun, and a 90 per cent, tune is now on the 
list and expected at any time, preferably sooner than later. F. H. 
Owen, the new recruit, from the Boston A., A., bids fair to make 
his side partner, Blinn, hustle in future events. All day next 
Wednesday arid lots of straight scores are promised by these 
two. Owen came out with a big story and quite took the wind out 
of every one's sails by stating ■ that \ he had just broken 269 
straight. It did not take long, however, to recover equilibrium, 
as it turned out to be a pipe dream, and no cause for alarm. 
Finals of the series ending to-day ' found John Bell, the ex- 
Harvardite, in first position, with a lead of 4' targets over second 
position, a lead safe enough for any one, though Frank cut it 
down all he could, and moved in ahead of Griffiths, on ranking. 
having attended the larger number of shoots. Fourth and fifth 
also -ended in a tie, Roy and Kirkwood tying up- on the last shoot. 
, Capt. Woodruff finished sixth, somewhat lower than usual, but 
as the summer series starts in,' it will be another story, a new 
gun being on the way, and with loads to match, no such thing 
as low scores from now on. Burns and Blinn followed seventh 
and 
to 
eighth 
positions, the latter not allowing himself any chance 
improve, only shooting the six scores and not throwing out 
any. Burns was a trifle more fortunate, having the chance to 
throw out a previous 16, and gaining 5 points with his 21 of to-day. 
The team match ended as predicted, Frank and Bell making a 
runaway match of it the last few shoots.

Coleman — Coope f . 
Mahanoy City, Pa., May 14.— The match between Messrs. Fred 
Coleman, of Philadelphia, and Fen Cooper, of Mahanoy City, 
took place to-day. It has been pending during some weeks past. 
The conditions were 50 trained birds each, 21yds. rise, 60yds. 
boundary, gun below the elbow, use of one barrel. One thousand 
people paid 50 cents each to witness the match. The birds were 
very fast, and a strong wind added to the difficulties of the 
shooting. Mr. Frank E. Butler, a representative of the U. M. C. 
Co., acted as referee, and gave perfect satisfaction. Following 
is the official score: 
Fen Cooper 110011111111010111111] 1111011101111111111111111010-42 
F. Col eman 11111110111111111111111111101111011111111101111110—45 
After the match Cooper, in a conversation with Coleman ex- 
pressed his willingness for a return match, and no doubt another 
shoot will be arranged in the near future. Coleman and Cooper 
are also open to meet any two men in the country in the same 
kind of a live-bird contest.
