Boston, Mass., June 22.-Just an even dozen shooters journeyed 
Vellingtonward to-day, and though a small attendance, .it lacked 
othing in enthusiasm. 
While no grand American handicap was being shot, there 
,as interest shown by all, the prize match seeming to have the 
ttention first and then the team match, which proved the fun 
naker of the afternoon. . 
Capt Frank vows that a rabbit's foot will bring him better luck 
lext time, and is on the lookout for the largest one he can 
ecure, as Bell is not going to monopolize all the winning teams 
f he can prevent it. Bell still intends to dig and promises 
-lothing, except to see that his team is in Al shape for the fray 
Nothing would suit him better than to take another fall out of 
11 comers. • , , 
Worthing ventured forth for his first match score to-day, and 
nnexed a nice 23, which was just too good for the rest and 
ame near pocketing the high average. It would have done so 
f he had left the 21yds. mark alone, which accounted for his 19, 
n the last event. But Charlie was always enthusiastic, and 
never could see anyone shoot, without his being in it, and con- 
ditions count nothing where he sums up the enjoyment. Wood- 
ruff and Co. were in the best of trim, too, high average being 
. of the honors bestowed upon them, and 22 in the prize 
match cutting out all told 17 and incidentally securing second 
place in the totals,

Trap at Landisburg, Pa. 
Landisburg, Pa., June 23.-The first shoot of the series of 1904 
jfor the Bloomfield cup was held at Landisburg on Saturday, when 
:the best averages ever made at a Perry county shoot were re- 
' corded. The 25-target event for the cup was won by W. H. Wil- 
son, of Marysville, with 25 straight. Charles Shick, of Kennedy's 
[Valley, also broke 25, but lost to Wilson on the shoot-off of the 
: tie, 5 to 4. . ... 
The team shoot was won by the Marysville team on a tie with 
■the Bloomfield team, both teams breaking 64 out of 75. Marys- 
ville won out on the shoot-off with a score of 15 to 14. 
The shooting grounds were ideal, giving a clear sky background, 
which in great measure accounts for the good scores. Most of the 
j boys were in the 807 gait or better. 
The success of the shoot is largely due to the efforts of Milton 
! R Bower, who had charge of the affair. 
The next shoot will be held in this place in two or three weeks.

North Dakota State Shoot. 
Minot, N. D., June 15.— The North Dakota State tournament 
was held here last two days. The attendance was not large, as 
this town is the extreme northwestern limit of the towns having 
clubs. However, those present shot through both days, and all 
were well pleased with the entertainment furnished by the home 
club. Mr. Parker, the president, was the man for the place. 
One of the many enjoyable features was the shooting at the 
traps by Mrs. C. H. Parker, and her scores were a surprise 
to all. ' ... - : ■ ■ . • .- 
B. O. Seymour and H. C. Hirschy assisted the management, 
and Herman is a whole team in himself. Mr. Seymour was caught 
in the hotel fire and was not himself the first day, as his scores 
will show. . 
D. C. Rand, of Jamestown, won the high average for State men, 
closely followed by Gus Evander, with 270. Hirschy was the 
high amateur, though Seymour tied him the second day. 
The championship medal was won by F. H. Sprague, of Grafton. 
The Simpson trophy fell to the lot of Capt. N. N. Main, of Condo. 
The Minot team won the State team trophy. 
The next State shoot will be held at Grand Forks. G. E. Dies 
was elected President; R. W. Main, Vice-President; C. H. Parker,

SIDE LIGHTS OF TRADE. 
In the preliminary events of the Grand American Handicap, 
last week, J. A. R. Elliott, with his Winchester repeating shotgun 
and Winchester shells, broke 179 targets out of a possible 180. 
In the preliminary handicap, honors were even between S. H. 
Cummings and W. H. Clay, with scores of 98 out of 100. Mr. 
Cummings won the shoot-off. Both used Winchester factory 
loaded shells, and Mr. Cummings a Winchester repeating shot- 
gun. In the Grand American Handicap, R. D. Guptill, using 
a Winchester repeating shotgun, and W. N. Randall, using 
Winchester factory loaded shells, tied with a score of 96 out of 
100. Mr. Guptill won the shoot-off. 
Tom Marshall, of Keithsburg, 111., and everywhere else, stated, 
"I have won the G. A. H. twice with U. M. C. shells, and the 
unexcelled quality of the U. M. C. products appeals as strongly 
to the expert as they do to such amateurs as Mr. Diefenderfer, 
the last year's winner, and to Mr. Guptill, the plucky Minnesota 
shooter who took the highest honor in the shooting world last 
week." 
Mr. R. D. Guptill and Mr. W. R. Randall, respectively the 
winner and the runner-up in the competition for the G. A. H, 
honors s,t Indianapolis last week, used Infallible powder. 1
