FOREST AND STREAM 
[Feb. 20, 1909. 
Bergen Beach Gun Club. 
The second contest of the series of five took place on 
Tuesday, Feb. 9, at the club grounds, Avenue N and 
East Seventy-first street, Flatlands, Brooklyn, N. Y. The 
day previous had been almost spring-like, but the club 
was fated to shoot again in a nasty, penetrating east 
wind, though with not so much moisture in evidence 
as in the January contest. The shooters who wear eye¬ 
glasses when at the score were conspicuous by their 
absence, and with good reason, as eyeglasses become be¬ 
dimmed. 
The targets were thrown, as always, the full 50yds., as 
called for by the regulations. Some miscreant almost 
broke up the sport for the day by conveying the some¬ 
what doubtful intelligence to our dark-complexioned head 
trapper, Sam, that a possum had been seen in the woods 
on the south side of Avenue N, but duty called, and 
Sam had to content himself with sending a committee of 
three youngsters with an ax to verify the report, the 
result of whose investigation, deponent saith not. How¬ 
ever, the shoot went merrily along. 
Thirty members shot in the different classes for the 
John _H. Hendrickson and club trophies. This number 
was six less than the January contest, but was a good 
showing withal, taking into consideration the weather 
and dullness of business, conditions in this vicinity. In 
Class A, Mr. Kouwenhoven (Kelly) shot from the 19yd. 
mark, and the balance of Class A went at 18yds. Class 
B stood at 17yds., and Class C entries toed the mark 
at 16yds. 
The surprise of the day was the score of Mr. Geo. 
Felix, also of the Bensonhurst Gun Club, of Brooklyn, 
a 41 out of the possible 50; Mr. P. J. May, who is also 
the president of the Emerald Gun Club, a live-bird or¬ 
ganization, being second with 36, tying • Mr. C. Pulis 
for the place. Parker and Schorty were high in Class 
A with 39, and John Voorhees led the Class B with the 
same figure. 
The programme consisted of six 15-bird events and 
the main race at 50 targets, and many extra events. 
The main event was shot in two strings of 25 targets. 
Conditions, best three odt of five contests to win. Scores:

The Palefa ces. 
Boston, Mass., Feb. 10.—Rain and wind, the latter 
easily eclipsing fifty miles per hour, prevented what 
would have been a big attendance at the Paleface grounds 
to-day. But nine shooters in all braved the elements 
and were amply repaid for any extra inconvenience they 
may have been put to. 
High average under these conditions was of course 
impossible to keep up to 1909 standard, but that it was 
an interesting contest the scores will show. Frank with 
his $400 beauty, ended with a 69, though Clarke and 
Steele, the two latest club high average aspirants, gave 
him a merry chase, one target to the rear. Fred Dag¬ 
gett lost first position by a small margin, his first shoot 
■for a month not in the leading position. 
The Powel trophy ended with Steele and Clarke high; 
Frank second. Both of these scores, however, will be 
thrown out in the end, conditions being best four out of 
six to count.

Feb. 3.—The regular weekly Paleface shoot, held to¬ 
day, proved by far the nicest kind of an outing, and 
the seventeen shooters attending were treated to a banner 
race all around. 
In the high average Fred Daggett kept up his fiendish 
work, and at the eleventh hour copped out with one 
target to spare over Kirkwood, who in turn led Dickey 
and Frank the same number. 
The first shoot for the Powel trophy brought forth 
the interest of the afternoon, and the honor was finally 
taken by Clarke with his 92 for total. Daggett, Frank 
and Chapin also made the 90 total, and were consider¬ 
ably ahead of their next competitor. 
In the Paleface match Chapin, Clarke and Jones led 
tEeir respective classes, all with good totals.

There was a high wind blowing, and the birds being 
very fast, made it very hard shooting. Mr. Stafford re¬ 
covered in the last sweep, and shot beautifully. 
There are fifteen entries for the cup shoot on next 
Saturday, a handicap of 25 live birds.

Boston and Vicinity. 
T. H. Keller, Sr., and Gil Wheeler, of the Peters 
Cartridge Co., were in town last week doing the rounds. 
Everybody is always glad to shake hands with Tee Kay. 
The shooting team of the B. A. A. has declined an 
invitation to meet the Crescent Athletic Club, of Brook¬ 
lyn, in a joint shoot, announcing that the team will take 
no part in any matches the coming season. 
The New England Hardware Association convenes at 
Springfield, Mass., next month, and the attractive pro¬ 
gramme laid out includes a day’s visit to the J. Stevens 
Arms and Tool Works at Chicopee Falls. After the 
thorough inspection of this up-to-date plant, refreshments 
will be served to the firm’s guests. 
Lawrence, Mass., is out with a bid for Patriot’s Day 
trapshooting. There are to be $75 worth of prizes and a 
good programme. A big attendance of local and out-of- 
town target shooters is expected, and the club members 
will make everybo:W welcome. 
The Watertown Gun Club will hold a shoot on Feb. 
22 for the faithful members who have stood by the 
sinking ship. It is now the intention to provide reason¬ 
able target sport for the few who desire sociable prac¬ 
tice in preference to expensive tournaments. 1 here 
is plenty of room for a club of this kind, and the idea 
properly carried out will appeal to a good class of 
sportsmen. 
P. J. Lawlor, now of Philadelphia, but a former Bos¬ 
tonian, was a visitor at Wellington recently. Time was 
when Mr. Lawlor was a regular attendant of the old 
Boston Gun Club, but this business as contractor takes 
him to distant cities, interfering seriously with his shoot¬ 
ing. At present Mr. Lawlor is engaged with some big 
work at the League Island Navy Yard. 
Quite the worst storm of the season struck Boston, 
Wednesday, Feb. 11, yet nine foolish ones went to Wel¬ 
lington for the Paleface shoot. Had it been cold weather 
there would have been work for nine doctors, but the 
high temperature meant merely soakings without serious 
results. Frank was high gun, while Cole and Steele had 
a tie win on the Powel trophy. 
Buffalo Smith is dividing his play-time nowadays with 
the sport of bowling. “Buff” is quite a wizard with 
the big pins. 
Fifteen shooters competed at the B. A. A. Riverside 
grounds Saturday, and E. H. Richards with his handicap 
amassed the high total of 99, meaning a first win for this 
constant attendant, and a very popular one. O. R. 
Dickey was next in line with 94, his net score of 92 out 
of the 100 being the best for the day. C. M. Howell, 
S. A. Ellis and T. C. Adams also made scores of 88, 89 
and 87 respeetively, exclusive of handicaps. 
Poor light and cranky traps bothered the Wellington 
contingent last Saturday, and scores ran poor until late 
in the afternoon, when a few got the hang of the puzzling 
conditions. Eighty per cent, for that crowd and no wind 
to blame was beyond the best guesser. Bobby Burnes 
picked up on the final 25 and nosed out Bob Smith for 
the high average cup. Cole scored a win on the Powel 
trophy with the aid of handicap. 
On Washington’s Birthday the B. A. A. Gun Club 
will bold an all-day shoot for prizes offered by the club.
