Boston Gwn CI«b. 
Boston, Mass., Feb. 8.— The second weekly shoot of the Boston 
Gun Club was held on their grounds at Wellington to-day, and 
the perfect weather conditions were sufficient inducements to bring 
out a large number of trapshooting enthusiasts. Representatives 
were present from all the various clubs in this vicinity, E. C. 
Griffiths, of Pascoag, coming all the way just to show a clean 
pair of heels in the race for high average on 85 per cent., most of 
which was when shooting from the 21yd mark, being just about 
3 per cent, too much for the regular B. G. C. shooters. Quite 
a number, however, were placed in the honor class, Frank, Blinn, 
Burns, Willard and Silsbee all having 80 per cent, or better. ^ 
Six straight scores were made during the afternoon, Blmn 
starting in the good work on his first 10, and Frank ending up the 
straights with Griff, Foster, Burns and Fenton sandwiching one 
each between times. 
Willard's match score of 26 proved to be the real thing, though 
not without a struggle, as Silsbee and Williams were only 1 target 
behind with 25, and Griffiths, Foster and Burns with 24 in third 
position. Others met with varying success, with the hope that at 
the next shoot it will be their turn to carry the honors. Scores

Nineteen shooters opened up the Boston Gun Club's 1905 series 
to-day, and proved that cold weather held no fears for the enthusi- 
astic trapshooting contingent. 
Ten events filled out the programme, and while as a rule a lack 
of practice was evident, there were a few who made some excellent 
scores and averages. ... 
<:ilsbee's and Burns' 26 in the match was just the right score m 
the right place, and" grasped first place honors for the first shoot. 
Frank was however, not much outdone, as his 25 was only one 
target less,' and his shooting was from the 19yd. line. Roy's 24 
me next' and was the result of consistent shooting, his 80 per 
cent, average being high line for the larger number of targets.

A Long Ron» 
BoNESTEEL, S. D.— On the grounds of the Bonesteel Gun Club, 
Feb. 2, in the presence of a few of the more enthusiastic mem- 
bers, Mr. Le Roy Leach, the champion rifle wing shot of the 
world, gave an exhibition with the shotgun, and incidentally 
broke all known world's records. 
Starting to shoot 25 targets for exhibition purposes and breaking 
straight, he was requested to shoot 25 more, which he did, again 
breaking straight; and he was then requested to shoot until he 
missed, and the consequence was that he went out with an un- 
broken unfinished run of 500 straight. 
The weather conditions were very unfavorable for high scores 
on account of the intense cold, with about six inches of snow on 
the ground. 
There was no break in the shooting except to open new boxes 
of shells for the shooter and an ■ occasional pause to restore 
numbed fingers. Without cleaning the gun, and without a 
moment's rest except to thrash his hands to restore circulation, 
the shooter accomplished the Herculean task of breaking 500 
targets straight in two hours and thirty minutes. The expert 
traps were arranged Sergeant system, and the shooter shot at 
16yds. rise from five pegs, unknown angles. Starting from No. 1 
peg, 5 targets were shot, then 5 from peg No. 2, and so on down 
the line. Twice the spring on No. 1 trap broke, throwing the 
target high in the air, but aside from this, the traps worked 
smoothly. 
This performance of Mr. Leach's stamps him as not only one 
of the greatest of rifle experts, but as one of the great shotgun 
artists of the world also. 
Phenomenal as this performance is, it would be impossible 
without the wonderful perfection of ammunition and weapon which 
has been reached in modern times. J. F. Spatz, Field Captain. 
Qiestef GuQ Clob, 
Chester, N. Y., Feb. 7.— Inclosed find scores of our shoot on 
Feb. 3. The attendance was very small on account of the ex- 
treme cold. 
Messrs. Glover, Fanning, Apgar, WeUes and J. G. Heath rep- 
resented the trade. 
Mr. Heath deserves much, credit for the able manner in which 
he assisted the Club. Mr. Sim Glover won high professional 
average, 118 out of 125, and the $5 gold piece which went with it. 
Mr. James A. Ogden was high amateur, 99 out of 125. He also 
captured a ?5 gold piece. Scores of regular programme, Feb. 3:
