Boston Gtin Club* 
Boston, Mass., March 22. — Twenty-six trapshootitig enthusiasts 
cleaned up a bunch of them at the regular weekly shoot of tlife 
Boston Gun Club to-day, arid from all appearances, wfere soiile- 
what reluctant to let go, even after time was called at 5 o'clock, 
wagering that the next time they got the ehariee; which would bfe 
next Wednesday, they would come with all the necfessafy jJafa- 
phernalia to stick it out, and attempt to do sotrle' of these ^07 
straight stunts that seem to be hanging on some of the Westerii 
plum trees. 
Dr. Weld's 97 per cent, certainly showed that something was 
brewing, and Adams' ground record of two weeks back is now a 
thing of the past, and it was thought to be up high enough now 
that it would hold for a while, though from the looks of the 
quality of shooting during the present series, no one can see the 
final result. Dr. Gleason all by himself figured it out this way, 
that way and the other way, and whacked away a nice 96, coming 
one short of the coveted mark, though topping the straight run 
held over a year by Rule, and putting that at 53, which was satis- 
factory to all present. 
Just nine long-distancers presented themselves for the fray, with 
Dickey and Climax having the 21yd. mark all to themselves, and 
while not quite up to the usual standard, made some very credit- 
able averages, "Jimmie's" last 15 enabling an honor mark in 
averages to be chalked up against him. 
Burns, Dickey and Frank complefed their seven scores to-day 
and now have the chance to cut out old low ones and put in new 
and better ones. Burns at present has a clear lead of 13 targets 
over Didkey, who in turn leads Frank by a similar number. Burns 
says he is goitig to holl that lead till the last gun is fired, and as 
he is shootitlg some at present, it certainly looks as though he 
mearlt it. There ate; however, a few others who have some trap- 
shooting thinks movitlg, arid siinply won't be relegated to the 
tall timbef without a sttuggle. 
Dr. Gleason thinks that his gun w:ll chop out just a few from 
now on, and with three 29s as a starter, a good score is assured. 
E. C. Griffiths, with his old corrugated butted "puffip," also in- 
tends pushing just a little, and that means that the credit side of 
the ledger will be close to all one figure, and not of the round 
variety. John Bell, too, has been attempting to regain old-time 
form, and with a new single-trigger ejector and the old confidence 
will make the leaders hustle before many moons have passed by. 
The second appearance of one of the club's lady members 
brought forth very gratifying results, 60 per cent, of targets fall- 
ing victims to the little 2^4— 1— 16-ga load, and in the majority of 
cases the trick was done in real expert fashion, and proved con- 
clusively that the modern heavy load was not wholly essential to 
the breaking of targets. 
Ford and Massure's friendly set-to in the match proved to be a 
fun-maker, and the latter with his o-target handicap proved too 
much for the dense powderite, and now wears the smile that 
won't come off. Other scores:

Ctescent Athletic Clttfe. 
Bay Ridge, L. L, March 25.— The first annual championship 
contest was an event of special interest to the shooting contingent 
of the Crescent Athletic Club and their friends. It was won by 
the renowned expert Mr. J. S. Schenck Remsen, with a score of 
184 out of 200. It was a severe test of marksmanship and endur- 
ance, being at 200 targets, all the contestants standing at scratch. 
It was at first contemplated to hold the championship contest in 
two shoots, but owing to the team match with the Boston Athletic 
Association last Saturday, it was decided to make it one contest. 
Mr. Remsen had recently returned from. Palm Beach, Fla., where 
he distinguished himself as being of the first class in skill with 
the shotgun. 
Eight contested for the championship, 200 targets, as follows:

a full score, the former from scratch, the latter with an allowance 
of 5. Messrs. Foster, Hegeman, Brigham and Southworth tied on
