Atglen Gun Club. 
Atglen, Pa., Dec. 26. —The Atglen Gun Club held a 
very successful closing shoot for the season to-day, 
seventeen taking part. The program was run off m 
two parts, 100 targets, Jack Rabbit, and 50 targets, per¬ 
centage system. Wilson was high amateur on the 100 
with 90. Jebb was high in the 50 with 45, also high am¬ 
ateur on all targets shot at with 134 out of 150. Vernon 
Williams, the local crack shot, fell down on the last 
string, putting him out of the coveted place. Lloyd R. 
Lewis was the only pro present, and finished with 137 
out of 150, losing 9 of these in two events via the flinch 
route. William Fielis, Jr., shot his first string to-day 
and did well with his 20-gauge. \Ve look for him to 
clean up the bunch in even better shape than “Bill” did 
in the good old days, when he made the rounds with 
his old friend Kruger and “eat ’em alive” with the old 
Greener that you cannot buy for love or money. 
The club is starting to work on their registered 
shoot, to be held April 10, W'hen they expect to have the 
biggest one ever, and that’s some big. Notice will ap¬ 
pear later. Scores:

Paleface Shooting Association. 
Wellington, Mass., Dec. 21. — An all-day shoot was 
on the card to-day, which, with the high price of tur¬ 
keys, and the fact that turkeys were the burnt offerings, 
brought out twenty-one shooters to-day. The largest, 
heaviest and most luscious gobbler went to the table of 
Frank Flilliar^ who in a special Turk-Balk event broke 
25 straight. Two pros from Brunswick, Me.—Wheeler 
and Chapin—shot a team event with P. E. Osborn and 
A. E. .Sibley from Portland. It ended in a tie on 261 
out of .300. Archibald took the 100-target handicap with 
103 from a gift of IS. High gun went to Wilder with 
142 out of 150.
