FOREST AND STREAM 
[Jan. 2, 1909. 
A social team shoot between the Palefaces and Norfolk 
Country Club took place Saturday, Dec. 26, on the 
latter’s grounds at Dedham, Mass., and proved a very 
pleasant affair. Seven Palefaces attended, so an equal 
number of Norfolk’s men engaged in the battle at _50 
targets for each shooter. The results were 258 to 250, 
leaving a margin of only 8 targets in favor of the 
Wellington cracks. Scores were as follows: Palefaces—• 
Kirkwood 45, Hassam 42, Charles 36, B. Smith 36, 
Burnes 37, W. Clark 23, J. Wirth 39; total 258. Norfolk 
Country Club—Baxter 37, Nickerson 39, Rice 39, Roger 
Smith 37, E. Clark 32, Crane 31, Burgess 35; total 250. 
In a subsequent match at 25 targets the Palefates won by 
20 targets. Scores were better than they look, owing to 
the difficult conditions. Mr. J. K. Burgess, through 
whose efforts the match was arranged, presented the 
high gun with a Norfolk Country cup as a souvenir of 
the friendly competition. 
A white swan was recently killed near New Bedford; 
said to be the first for many years in that vicinity. 
P. H. Powel, of Newport, has presented the Palefaces 
with a beautiful trophy for competition at Wellington, 
conditions to be arranged and announced shortly. Other 
trophies to be shot for on the Paleface grounds are the 
Burnes, Sibley and W. Clark cups. 
The fierce day at Wellington, Dec. 23, furnished scores 
that looked embarrassing in the next morning’s paper. 
Veteran Dickey made the best showing for the ex¬ 
perts, while for the amateurs a notch below 70 per 
cent, took the main event. 
“Buffalo, Jr.,’’ is but another name for the well-known 
shooter “Roy.” 
A Christmas remembrance, relished by the trade here¬ 
abouts, was the exquisite silk-lined leather bill book sent 
out by the Hunter Arms Co. Appropriate sentiments 
were attached to the very useful gift by the Hunter boys. 
Charles Dana Park, of New York city, spent the holi¬ 
days in Boston, the guest of his sister, Mrs. C. M. 
Carpenter, and Dr. Carpenter. \Vhile not so actively 
connected with the shooting game as his brother, the 
late Will K. Park, there are few more enthusiastic canoe¬ 
ists or fishermen than Mr. Park. A trip to the Car¬ 
penter camp at Sudbury was one of the outings enjoyed. 
T. H. Keller, Jr., the Hunter Arms Co.’s new ac¬ 
quisition, is chaperoning Neal Moore, of the same com¬ 
pany, during the Sportsmen’s Show here. Haze Keller’s 
success, while with the Peters Cartridge Co., was 
phenomenal, and his legion of friends predict fresh 
laurels for the young representative in the Smith gun 
field. Mr. Moore is making his initial trip for the 
firm with which his stepfather, Harvey McMurchy, has 
been closely identified for some years. 
Dr. E. F. Gleason made a fine score at the B. A. A. 
regular vveekly shoot last Saturday, breaking 93 cut of 
100, which, with a handicap of 2, made a gross total 
of 95. 
^The Sportsmen’s Show opened to the public Christmas 
Eve, and is proving attractive entertainment for the 
sportsman and his family. The bird and fish exhibits 
are well arranged. Various contests with rifle and 
revolver under the supervision of New England Military 
Rifle Association are being held nightly with a number 
of fine trophies to reward successful shooters. 
The Marblehead vs. Dynn team race failed to material¬ 
ize, as the one team attended in the morning and the 
other in the afternoon. A two-man team race was sub¬ 
stituted, in which 10 pairs placed scores. Geo. Courtis, 
of the home crowd, was high gun with 88 per cent. 
Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, O., Dec. 25.—A 100 bird race was shot be¬ 
tween Johnny Taylor and R. S. Rhoads against W. R. 
Chamberlain and D. D. Gross. Taylor and Rhoads won 
by one target. Scores: Rhoads and Taylor, 192; Cham¬ 
berlain and Gross, 187.%i Taylor and Chamberlain scored 
96 each. The race was extremely interesting and very 
close. Wm. Webster started off with two 25 straights. 
B. F. Bolin broke 92 out of his 100, and Dr. Van Fossen 
48 out of 50. The shooting of Mr. Fred Le Noir was 
very clever indeed, and it was all done with a new gun. 
Mr. J. Y. Bassell came out with his new gun after 
having the toe cut off a little, and it had the desired 
effect of making the point to the place. Stanley Rhoads 
made 94 in his 100 birds, which was fine work, consider¬ 
ing that he has not shot any during the past year. The 
boys were all delighted to have “Stan.” with them, as he 
is a valuable acquisition to any shooting event. 
John Taylor and Fred Le Noir are very much for 
turkeys, and thejf both have a good supply on hand, 
owing to their skill in the matches here. 
The new gun fever has broken out afresh, and if the 
improvement keeps up with the lucky purchasers as it 
has started, there will be some incentive for more of us 
to invest. 
Seems like old times to see Dell Gross about; and that 
he is enjoying the stay in Columbus is very evident by 
the large smile that won’t come off. 
Ben Bolin has been in hiding for some time past, and 
must have been getting some practice, as he came out 
and very easily tuned up 92 out of the 100. 
Frank Ford, the congenial hunter and fisherman, who 
is well known to Ohio sportsmen, tried 100 of the flying 
clays and did remarkable for the little practice he gets. 
G. M. Smith is interested in the coming prize events for 
1909. 
Mr. Howard Sims brought Mr. Jay Trowbridge over to 
the Christmas shoot, and Mr. Trowbridge, while a game 
hunter and never having shot clay birds, his success on 
a trial was so pleasing that we are likely to have a new 
member, and a good one, as Mr. Trowbridge is a very 
enthusiastic sportsman. 
Dr. Van Fossen, awful busy, stopped a minute and hit 
the high place of 48 out of 50. 
J. C. Pancake was here, none more jolly than he, and 
he will go a long ways to get a good smell of powder. 
Harry Selbach shoots well all the time of late, and with 
a little tournament practice will be strictly in the game. 
Dr. Wm. Todd and his son. Master Todd, were out, 
and for a lad the young man has a very promising future 
as a shooter of flying targets. 
William Weatherholt, the gun-maker, was on hand, 
and reports that the past hunting season kept him very 
busy with lame guns. 
Billy Weinman was the first man up Christmas morn¬ 
ing, and he took a few shots and hurried back to look 
after the Christmas tree. 
Frank Burris has been missed during the holidays. 
Mr. Hart Stanbery, of Pomeroy, writes that he had a 
very pleasant shooting trip in West Virginia during last 
week of the season, accompanied by Mr. George Stein- 
bauer. 
Have you seen anything of Cumberland? 
Mr. A. E. Shatford was missed during the holiday 
shoots, having gone to Missouri. He has just returned 
with Mrs. Shatford, and will be here for the tournament 
of the 31st.

The Columbus Gun Club for the holidays very much 
resembles the old pine forest, with the abundance of 
pine and holly, together with the snow scene. The 
odor of the pine is very noticeable on coming into the 
big assembly room, and the boys say that it has in¬ 
creased their appetites so much that the good old times 
they had out in the woods came back to them. 
New York Athletic Club. 
Travers Island, N. Y., Dec. 26. —Christmas Day com¬ 
ing on Friday, our regular holiday competition took place 
to-day. Eighteen guns were in attendance. The day was 
cold, and a strong wind from the w'est made the shooting 
difficult, the scores suffering in consequence. In fact, 
the only shooting of note was done by Billings in the 
practice round, when he got the only straight of the day, 
but he fell down to 16 actual breaks in the next string. 
Six events of 25 targets each, were run off, as follows: 
First event, practice: Billings high gun. 
Second event, December cup: Leg won by Elias, but 
Owen having two previous legs, wins,cup. 
Third event, holiday cup: Leg won by Greiff, as¬ 
sisted by 4 handicap. 
Fourth event, Sauer gun: Leg won by De Wolf. 
Fifth event. Stevens gun: Leg won by Crowe. 
Sixth event, Special holiday cup: Won by Billings 
with full score, assisted by 3 added targets.

Salem, N. J.— The Salem County Rod and Gun Club 
held a very interesting tournament on Christmas Day, 
notwithstanding the rain, which began falling at noon 
and continued at intervals during the afternoon. This 
being the anniversary of the club’s organization, a large 
number of sportsmen gathered to help celebrate the 
event. No entrance fees were charged and all were open 
to all amateurs except No. 1, for the club cup, which 
was restricted to members only. A brass gun cleaner 
was the booby prize in all events. 
J. E. Hall won the club cup and $2.50 prize. Presjdent 
H. G. Hart was high man for the leather gun case.

Notes from Salem. 
The Salem County Rod and Gun Club is putting the 
sting of life to sporting affairs in this section. New 
members are being elected at each meeting night. The 
club now boasts of the largest membership of any club 
in South Jersey. 
The members are proud of their achievements during 
the first year of organization. A fine club house, 20x30ft., 
has been built and furnished complete, with all bills paid 
for and a neat balance in the treasury. 
With a. view of increasing the attendance at regular 
meetings, the entertainment committee arranges a musical 
programme and refreshments after the business session. 
It’s a great seneme. 
The suggestion of the State Fish and Game Commission 
that a law be enacted placing a resident license fee on 
every gunner has aroused a voice of indignation from all 
sections of the State. 
The following members have been appointed on the 
legislative and game committee: Messrs. H. G. Hart, 
L. D. Compton, Dr. W. H. Carpenter, J. F. Anderson, 
Paul Erhardt, I. C. Smashey, and William H. Harris. 
The committee is getting busy and will appear before the 
game committee of the New Jersey Legislature with 
some suggestions that will be of benefit to the sports¬ 
men in this section. 
Through the efforts of Congressman Loudenslager, the 
club has been placed on the list to receive an appropria¬ 
tion of trout fry from the United States fish hatchery. 
■The following officers were elected at the last meeting; 
H. G. Hart, President; William H. Harris, Vice-Presi¬ 
dent; Harvey Bossier, Recording Secretary; L. D. Comp¬ 
ton, Financial Secretary; Paul Erhardt. Treasurer; Ernest
