. Few shooters have any adequate idea of the large number of 
skilled assistants who are necessary in successfully conducting a 
Grand American Handicap. The half-tone in our trap columns 
this week was from a photograph taken soon after the G. A. H. 
of 1904 was completed. It portrays the management and staff 
which so ably made that G. A. H. so eminent as a tournament of 
tournaments. The wearied expression of many of the workers 
portrayed therein bears testimony to the strenuous efforts which 
they had undergone in their respective positions.

Boston Gun Club. 
Boston, Mass., July 13. — Just enough shooters to make a 
social gathering were present at the second last serial shoot of 
the Boston Gun Club to-day, and with conditions pretty near 
correct, the matinee was decidedly successful. High gun easily 
went to Worthing, his percentage of .85 being far ahead of 
anyone else, and by his performance has placed himself at the 
mercy of the handicapper, who might have a grudge against 
him were it possible. 
The infielders were the fun makers and went to show just how 
poorly prepared a real trapshooters is for game shooting, though 
we will have to admit that Worthing is an exception. Where 
he has the call on most shooters, is that he always holds the 
gun in the old sportsmanlike way of below the elbow. John 
Bell, too, made a mistake in one of the infielders, grassing twelve, 
and no one was more surprised than John, and very profuse 
are his promises not to give us another shock like that. 
Frank and Worthing tied for high total in the prize match, 
the former securing his position by good uphill work, breaking 
the last fifteen in good style: Worthing's first ten helped ■ him 
just a little, and after a bad half hour, in the first part of his 
second string, pulled himself together for the final with good 
results. Other scores:

Montclalr Gun Club. 
Montclair, N. J., July 16.— A very jolly crowd faced the traps 
to-day. While the sun was very hot in the open, the shooters 
were all able to stand in the shade and were very comfortable. A 
gentle breeze, lasting all the afternoon, helped to keep the at- 
mosphere cool and pleasant. 
Messrs. Mosler, Howlet and Dr. Gardiner, of the Mountain- 
side Gun Club, of Orange, and Mr. Mossbacker, of Newark, paid 
us a visit, greatly adding to the pleasure of the afternoon. Two 
or three impromptu matches were arranged. Dr. Gardiner win- 
ning the first and Mr. Moffett' team winning the second event.
