The Melrose Highlands Gun Club is a new one in the 
field, with H. Worthen, President; G. E. Steele, Sec¬ 
retary-Treasurer, and J. T. Moore, Captain. In its 
first shoot on the Paleface grounds, F. H. Maine won 
the cup with his handicap. Convenient grounds with 
trolley service have now been secured, and good shoots 
are looked for during 1909. 
Twenty-four shooters competed at Wellington on 
Wednesday Jan. 27. Frank’s improved gun stock was 
equal to 74 out of 80, assisted, of course, by the man 
behind, and his slump in the last event was due to his 
haste in making a tram. This left Dickey and Kirkwood 
in the race for high gun honor, and the tie was settled 
in the final event, the place where a straight counts. 
The Baker Gun Co., with comrnendable generosity have 
favored their agents with a Louis Agassiz fuertes game 
bird calendar, a collection of beautiful pictures suitable 
for framing and fit to ornament any parlor or den. 
J. K. Burgess is back from Pinehurst. Says the North 
is too cold, anyway, and the place to make winter scores 
is in the South. 
W. D. Hinds, the Portland taxidermist, called on 
Boston friends en route from Pinehurst. Mr. Hinds 
promises a good three-day tournament during May or 
June, at Haines Landing, Me. 
Belmont won the W. F. Clark trophy on the Paleface 
grounds, having the best selected total out of the four 
November shoots with added handicap. 
The Riverside grounds of the B. A. A. Gun Club are 
popular of a Saturday afternoon, and a dozen members 
can be depended upon to practice with the scatter gun. 
T. C. Adams made a very creditable score, a fortnight 
ago, breaking 94 out of 100, as nice as you please. Last 
Saturday Roy Faye was the winner of the day’s shoot, 
totalling 94 with the help of his handicap of 3 added 
targets. Three guests were among the participants, one 
of whom, F. J. Daggett, made the best net score of 92. 
From an exchange we glean the fact that Mrs. Marshall 
Wild is the only woman in Berkshire county who has 
taken out a hunter’s license since the new law went 
into effect. Last fall Mr. and Mrs, Wild fitted up a 
canopy top vehicle and made a trip through the wildest 
part of the Berkshires. Mrs. Wild bagged a half dozen 
partridge, a dozen woodcock and a couple of foxes, and 
voted it the most enjoyable outing she had ever had. 
Antonio and James Severa, brothers, were fined $100 
each in the Saugus, Mass., court last week for sport 
with a deer m close season. Two deer came down the 
Salem turnpike and went into a fie'd near the Severa 
house, where the brothers fired five shots at them with a 
rifle, only one of which took effect. The deer with a 
broken leg plunged into the Saugus River and was car¬ 
ried out into the ocean. 
W. F. Clark is coming fast as a target shooter. Sec¬ 
ond average in a field of twenty classy ones is meritor¬ 
ious for a Paleface of six months’ standing. It’s all in 
starting right and seeking the best company to properly 
cut the eye teeth of a new shooter. The two Cs, Clark 
and Cole, are the most enthusiastic trapshooters here¬ 
abouts, and the fun they have sitting up nights loading 
shells is the educational treat which the consumer of 
factory goods misses entirely. 
Mr. Eugene Lynch, of this city, who died from in¬ 
juries received in the Republic disaster, held the record 
for the number of trout and salmon taken on the fly 
at the Upper Dam in the Rangely Lakes region, Maine, 
last summer, says a writer in the Boston Post. Fly Rod, 
Maine’s noted woman writer on the sport of fishing, 
mentioned in a local paper the start of Mr. and Mrs. 
Lynch for their European trip and wished them bon 
voyage. Hardly had the notice appeared in print before 
news was received that Mrs. Lynch was instantly Rilled 
and Mr. Lynch seriously injured. Frank Philbrick, who 
[ guided for Mr. Lynch for twelve years in the Rangeley 
region, came to Boston to attend the funeral. In his 
j opinion Mr. Lynch was more than a fisherman, for he 
was always experimenting with new flies, trying new 
. tips and keeping careful account of the way the fish rose 
I to the bait. For days together he would studv the 
pools in the streams about the camp and the differences 
of weather that affected the biting trout. Last sum¬ 
mer he landed an 8%-pound trout, one of the largest 
ever taken in that section. ^ 
The Iver Johnson Sporting Goods Co. have on exhibi¬ 
tion in one of their large show windows a moose head 
of note. So far as known it is the largest one ever 
^ taken by a woman hunter in the New Brunswick wilds. 
The animal that sported the 55%-inch spread of antlers 
which decorate this head, was killed by Mrs. Ward N. 
Boylston, of Princeton Mass., in the wild country back 
of Boisetown, N. B., last October. 
Here are two opinions on the price of hunting licenses: 
All \'ermont hunters must have licenses next fall, 
but the bargain-counter price, 50 cents, is enough to 
make envious Massachusetts sportsmen, who are obliged 
to pay $1 for a similar privilige, feel like moving. — 
I Boston Globe. 
And it is just enough, too, to make \'ermont ridiculous. 
But it was a compromise for the recognition of a prin- 
; ciple, and if if was bought cheap it may improve our 
1 own hands. The most unsatisfactory feature of the whole 
I business was the manifest disposition of the lawmakers 
to haggle over a few cents in fixing the amount of the 
license fee. It was an elaboration of the idea of thrift 
to the point of cheeseparing. — St. Albans Messenger.

Englewood, N. J., Jan. 30. —Following are the scores 
made on our grounds to-day. Sortor and Lewis were in 
their usual good form and did excellent work. Lydecker 
0 little off owing to a little bet he had with one of 
the boys, which made him rather nervous. But he made 
good after the shoot. His bet was that a certain member 
would clean up the field in the first 100 shot at. Well,
