Boston Gun CItfb. 
Boston, Mass;— May 17; the date of the Boston Guii Club's 
sixth annual invitation team shoot, did not prove to be the ideal 
weather for the trapshootef, but honors seemmgly being about 
even between Old Pirob arid Old Sol. Sixty-six shooters ven- 
tured Wellingtoriward, and froiii morriirlg^ till riight kept peggirlg 
av/ay, with results, iti the majotitv of eases; most gratifying. 
With this number of shooters on hand, each with a good-sized 
bee buzzing underneath the hat band, it is sufficient to say that the 
trapper boys were brought to play with a vengeance, and by 
keeping steadily at their work, threw the necessary ten thousand 
targets to complete the day's sport. With two automatic traps 
in the pink of condition, the club was amply prepared for the 
onslaught, and barring the one or two delays that never can be 
forestalled, the traps performed faithfully for the entire day, and 
the trapping brought forth comments that the trap crews liked 
to hear, as there was no doubt they were putting forth their best 
efforts to have their part of the programme performed in the most 
thorough mariner, and were highly pleased to find their work was 
appfeeiatedi ... ^ ^ , 
The office was irt chatge of Ml". F.- P. Miller, who, it can be 
said, had a decidedly busy day; the two sets of traps keeping 
things ort the hum; but as the winriers were made known im- 
tiiediately Upoft the last event beirig fittished, it eall be seen ttiat 
the goods wei-e delivered fight oii time. 
The tfade was well represented by J. E. Bufris (ChmaJc), ii. 
Butler, O. R; Dickey, S. M, Wheeleir, H, B. leiilby, Ray Rieh- 
atdsott, S. D. Hebbai-d, J. E. Burris easily eaptufed fifst expert 
horiol: F. E. Butlef, second, S. M. Wheeler third. Diekey s 00 
per cent, was the high mark of the day, but, not shooting the 
entire programme, did riot Count fot the average. 
Rule, of Lowell, arid Tozier, of Haverhill, had a rieck-and-rieck 
face for high amateur average, Tozier's second 20 being his un- 
lucky event, and the captain of Engine 10 was most willing _to 
tfcke advantage of the loss, and now sports found with a nice 
new leather traveUng bag, just intended to hold the proper 
amount of shells, etc., for a day's trap shoot, 
Tozier's win of second average pleased the crowd i.mmertsely, 
and no one was there but was ready wrih the glad hand, ihere 
will be times doing in Haverhill, however as there is to be no 
hiding this light under a bushel, as. "Ned" has quite a chest exj 
pansion, which, with the accompanying handsnri-pocket style, will 
give all a chance to view the sterling silver watch fob offered 
for second prize. , i i- t i 4-„ 
Charlie Allen, of Manchester, brought his old reliable to an- 
nihilate everything in sight, and proceeded to do so, with the 
exception of the third event, which lost him ground that he was 
never quite able to regain. Charlie insinuates he did not want 
the bag anyway, as a previous shooting trip had netted him one, 
but in an entirely different manner. Charles got it, however, and 
Derryfield heard^of it, if Gene Reed could help a good cause 
along, and they do say a joke goes a long ways up m their burg 
The team shoot, which was the most interesting event of the 
day, had eight teams entered, and as the results were m doubt 
till the last squad had shot, the interest never waned one atom 
Five teams had a look in for first place, and hung on to each 
other like leeches, but the Watertown boys under Roy s guid- 
ance held on the best of all, and at the end led by two targets. 
, They are now styled the Watertown World Beaters, or the Kmghts 
of the Scatter. Gun, with Hebbard Chief Knight through being 
'^Capt" Woodturs^^'aggregation shot a good race, but i_n one 15 
Tohn Bell got off the target breaking wagon and try as he 
could, nev'er recovered till the next event, and then the old form 
nresented itself, bvit just too late. r *t,„ 
^ The Watertown's end man, Lee, proved to be the anchor of the 
boat (2501bs.), and it was mainly through this ballast that they 
S together, but it surely showed go.od generalship on some 
one'i Dart to have the right man in the rights place. 
The Derryfield boys, minus the services of the Reeds were, 
to say the least, considerably handicapped; but for .all that, did a 
f?w shooting s unts. Corson, their latest acquisition, tying for 
Hsh individual honors in the team match, and Goss just one

whft out of form, and, coupled with shooting a strange gun, was

vear and anothir story will be told, as from looks - the Derryfields 
have got considerable- up their sleeves which they intend to let 
^°The''st*ughtoT'team put up a good fight, but right in the 
first event their top-notcher. Worthing, , strained his gun, and 
could not use it after the first shot. A trial o three guns proved 
d?sastrous but a Watertown winner had a "corker of a gun, 
fnd Worthing found it just the gun he wanted, as he proceeded

Nebraska State Towfnament. 
Hastings, Neb., May 12.— The Nebraska State Sportsmen's As- 
sociation concluded its twenty-ninth annual tournament at Hast- 
ings to-day, and, notwithstanding miserable weather, it was a 
success, 38,000 targets being thrown. 
The office was handled by the only Fred C. Whitney, of Des 
Moines; the management was assisted on the outside by Marshall 
Sharp, of Bridgeport, Conn., and Plarry Duncan, of Gibbon, Neb., 
and with two practical shooters, Mr. Oswold, of Falls City, and 
Mr. Crabill, of Hastings, at the score boards, everything moved 
on without a murmur of dissatisfaction from any quarter. 
The Association, was favored with the presence and assistance 
of A. H. Hardy, of Lincoln; W. A. Waddington, of Beatrice; 
Hon. Tom A. Marshall, of Keithsburg, 111.; C. B. Adams, of 
Rockwell City, la.; W. H. Heer, of Concordia, Kans; Marshall 
Sharp, of Bridgeport, Conn.; Chris. Gottlieb, of Kansas City; Fred 
C. Whitney, of Des Moines; Walter Huff, of Macon, Ga., and 
Chas. Plank, of Denver, Colo. 
On the preliminary day we were greeted with a severe wind 
and hail storm. But forty shooters faced the traps, and Adolph 
Olson, of Holdrege, Neb., who shot under the name of Adolph, 
won the handsome watch charm on a score of 91. 
The first day of the regular programme opened clear and 
bright, with seventy shooters on the ground, 61 of which were 
Nebraskans, which again demonstrates that Nebraska has more 
shooters within her boundaries than any other State in the 
Union of a like population. On this day, Mr. W. H. Heer was 
high professional with 196, and Wm. Veach, of Falls City. Neb., 
was high amateur with 191. J. . 
The Mullerite powder event was shot with forty-five entries, and 
resulted in a tie with a straight score of 25 for Bray, of Columbus, 
and -l^eed, of Chiowa. In the shoot-off Bray won on a score of 
■ u ?a'' ^, , Thursday, the second day, rain began fall- 
ing by 10 o clock, and at 11 o'clock shooting was almost impos- 
^ ,a'^'^°"nt of ,wind and rain, but was continued at 2:30, 
and targets of the regular programme were shot, but the 
Uenver Post trophy and State championship events were post- 
poned until Friday, 
Friday morning was clear, but with a strong wind. Interest was 
centered in the Denver Post trophy race, and the State cham- 
pionship. The Denver Post trophy was at lOO targets, handicap, 
and was won by Geo. Maxwell, of Holstein, Neb., on a score of 
Jo, trom the 18yd, mafk. Let it be remembered that Mr. Maxwell 
has only one arm. What would he do if he had two. The scores

of Linco n, and Bray, of Columbus. The score in the regular
