Boston Gun CIttb* 
Boston, Mass., April 12. — Seventeen shooters took advantage of 
perfect conditions and journeyed Wellingtonward to-day, the oc- 
casion of the Boston Gxm Club's eleventh serial shoot, and it 
proved to be the right kind of a shoot, one of those that was 
purely for pleasure, and good feeling prevailed during the twelve 
events. 
Just ten of the congregation secured averages of 80 or over, 
which shows the quality of shooting .which was being performed. 
Dr. Gleason held high average with a Gilbert or Crosby per- 
centage, pegging away as visual with his Daly and shattering birds 
right and left, with no apparent trouble. His match score of 28 
completed the necessary number of scores, and now rests com- 
fortably in first place with 187, 4 targets to spare over Burns, who 
occupies second position. Frank's 29 of to-day gave him a good 
boost, dropping a previous 19, and a return of the old form will 
make the leaders hustle from now out. Capt. Woodruff, too, was 
moving some, an 89 per cent, average and a match score of 28 
v/ith his "Krupp barrel fusee" showing that the oldest standby 
of the club was still in the ring, and could be counted upon for a 
good score at almost any tirne. 
C. A. Allen, of Manchester, could not bear the thoughts of 
coming to Boston and not shooting, so he picked up a gun that 
"kicked like a mule," and gave a good account of himself, time 
alcne preventing him from making more straight scores. Other 
scores *

April 5. — The regular weekly shoot of the_ Boston Gun Club was 
v.'ell attended to-day, though weather conditions were anything but 
agreeable for the average trapshooter, it raining hard during the 
entire afternoon. Between drops some twelve events were run 
through, and judging from scores made, etc., every one was very 
well satisfied, even if put to the inconvenience of a ducking. 
Visitors came from far and near to enjoy the afternoon. Sec- 
. retary Burr, of the Montpelier, Vt., Gun Clvib, and Mayor 
Eugene E. Reed, of Manchester, N. H.,. were from the most 
distant points. 
The prize match, which is now taking up all the interest, as 
there are only four more shoots to secure scores in, and the 
regulars are attempting to drop poor scores, did not bring forth 
the usual high scores. Reed's 25 was in a class by itself, 4 targets 
ahead of the second man, Roy, with 24, who in turn led Gleason 
and Baxter by one target.

Inglewood (Ontario) Gun Club's Annual Tournament. 
The annual tournament of the Inglewood, Ont., Gun Club was 
held on April 7, with a very good attendance^ of shooters. This is 
a young club, composed of a few enthusiastic shots, who did all 
in their power to make their visitors enjoy themselves. The day 
was fine, and the targets hard on account of the height to which 
they were thrown. 
High average was won by Mr. Thomas Upton, Hamilton, Ont. 
Second went to Dr. Hunt, Hamilton. Third high average to Mr. 
Thomas A. Duff, Toronto, and fourth to Mr. J. H. Thompson, 
Toronto. The following were the scores:

"Amateur" is Corrected. 
Easton, Pa., April ^.—Editor Forest and Stream: In your issue 
of Forest and Stream of March 4 there appeared a communica- 
tion under the caption "Clerks and Professionals" and signed 
"Amateur." 
As a committee, commanded by a unanimous vote of the Inde- 
pendent Gun Club, of Easton, at its first meeting after ^the ap- 
pearance of "Amateur's" communication, to voice the club's senti- 
ments in the matter, and as it seemed possible that "Amateur's" 
cowardly attack was made on one of our own members, to make 
a public statement in his defense, we ask the courtesy of your 
columns. 
As to the sentiments of our club, it ought to suffice to say that 
we vote as we shoot; that is, according to our best judgment; 
and that judgment has enabled us to win every match in v/hich 
we have taken part, and they are not few in number. _ That 
same judgment, exercised on "Amateur's" no-name, stab-in-the- 
back methods, condemns them as the efforts of a jealous rival. 
On behalf of our brother member, Mr. Ed. F. Markley, who 
was supposed by some to be the object of "Amateur's" attack, 
we take pleasure in stating that he is held in the highest esteem 
by our club. In "Amateur's" communication, the only statement 
truthfully applicable to Markley is that he is a clerk in a whole- 
sale house. Surely that fact will not bring him under suspicion 
unless a diseased imagination like "Amateur's" comes in to 
bolster it up. ..... 
We hope we may be pardoned for venturing the opinion that 
"Amateur," who talks so glibly of "sharks" and the killing of 
the sport, might better turn his attention to his own reforma- 
tion as an "assassin of character," and that none but mischief- 
makers write anonymous communications.

Analostan Gun Club. 
Washington, D. C, April 15. — The Analostan Gun Club held a 
practice shoot on Thursday, April 13. Several new members, who 
never shot at the trap, were present. The wind was high, but 
notwithstanding the breeze, some good scores were made, espe- 
cially that of Mr. Jos. H. Hunter, who shot a professional gait. 
The scores:

Chicago Trapshooters' Association. 
Chicago, April 8.— The Chicago Trapshooters' Association wish 
to announce the dates of its big midsummer amateur target 
shooting tournament on Aug. 18, 19 and 20. These dates will be 
just preceding the Indians' annual tournament at Spirit Lake, 
la., that comes on the 22d to the 25th, inclusive, believing that 
many of the Indians and friends from the East and South would 
like to take m our shoot on the direct route and spend three 
days m the great metropolis of the West. 
There is probably no city in the country to-day where as much 
enthusiasm is shown by local trapshooters as here. This Asso- 
ciation has probably done more than any other organization to 
promote the sport. 
The attractions offered a shooter in Chicago, outside of the 
shcotmg, cannot be excelled by any other Western city. The 
shooter here in the evenmg can find all manner of amusements, 
and a three days stay will be a splendid vacation for any one. 
We are going to give $500 average money for the three days, 
the programme will consist of eight 15-target events, and four 
20-target events with entrance of $20. 
One hundred dollars will be divided between high guns each 
day, as follows: $20 to first, $18, $16, $14, $12, $10 and $10. 
Iwo hundred dollars will be given for the general average for 
«ir*'«.-,^''y^' t° ^'^^ ?25 to first, $20. 
?>io, $1^, and $10. 
The low guns will be given first four $15 each; next four low, 
$10 each. ' 
The moneys will be divided on the Chicago system of divi- 
sion, which provides for three places in 15-target events, and four 
places m 20-target events, all shooters getting a place will divide 
eqiially the entire purse. 
This gives a shooter who breaks 13 the same amount as the 
shooter who breaks 15 straight. While this makes the fairest 
division for the real amateur, it is also greatly in favor of the 
more expert shooter, for if he stays in the money only ten times 
in the twelve events, we can assure him that he will draw out as 
winnings more than one-half of the entrance money, and then 
he IS almost certain of pulling down one of the good average 
While it may seem a little early to go iiitoi such a detailed 
description of this shoot, we want our target-shooting friends to 
study this programme very carefully, and if there is any one that 
does not clearly understand the Chicago division, I will be 
pleased to give him any information desired. 
_ From present indications we will have one of the largest shoots 
**^,?"*^"<i3"'=?„'^^^'l in *^he West this year, outside of the G. A. H. 
Mr. E. B. Shogren and Fred H. Lord will have the management 
of this tournament. 
Any information desired, or requests for programmes should 
be addressed to E. B. Shogren, Secretary of the Chicago Trap- 
shooters Association, 940 First National Bank Building, Chicago 
. E. B. Shogren. 
Anafostan Gun Club. 
Washington, D. C, April 11.— The Analostan Gun Club of this 
city held a very successful shoot yesterday. The occasion of the 
same was the arrival m the city on Sunday of the famous squad 
of experts— Messrs. Marshall, Heikes, Heer, Stevens and Butler- 
Mr. John E. Avery, the general sales agent for the South, and 
Mr. Heath, of the advertising department, were also along and 
kept tab on the shooters. A large number of local members' were 
present, and also visitors from the Rockville, Md., Club and 
the Eastern Branch Club of this city, besides a large number of 
spectators. 
The weather was beautiful, but a very high wind made dif- 
ficult shooting, and a glance at the scores tells the story:
