The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., Feb. 17. —The fifteen Paleface shooters 
that presented themselves at Wellington to-day were 
treated to one of the rarest kind of winter days,, the 
thermometer registering well up in the 30s, and the sun 
putting its best efforts of warmth, a combination wholly 
to the liking of the trapshooters. 
Frank Hilliard was easily the star of the occasion, 
shooting consistently through the six events and nosing 
out just one target better than any of his competitors. 
• W. F. Clarke had the upper hand till the last event, 
when an unfortunate 12 out of 20 put the chance of 
first high down and out. His win of the Powel cup was 
a fine piece of work, and it looks as though the winner 
has been found even if there are two more shoots to be 
heard from. 
Tn the class matches, Frank, Clarke, and Jones were 
high with very creditable scores and with only one 
more shoot to come, the interest is at fever heat. 
O. R. Dickey was the only trade representative present, 
and as usual shot way up among the high averages.

Columbus Gun Club. 
CoLUMBiTS, O., Feb. 20.—The Saturday shoot was well 
attended, and the afternoon was very pleasant, with the 
exception of a strong wind that came across the flight of 
the targets from the west, making it necessary to have a 
good eye and a steady point to shatter enough of the 
curlers to rnake a good count on the score sheet. 
The handicap from 16 to 21yds., was won by the very 
popular Ml. .Shilling with 44 out of his 50, breaking 25 
out of his first 30, and getting 19 out of his last string 
of 20. And Mr. Bolin was second high with 40, winning 
second prize. 
Some very good work was done by Mr. Chas. Young 
and Webster, Shilling, Smith and a number of others, 
considering the breeze. Arrangements for the big spring 
tournament are going 
on, and 
it 
is 
expected 
to 
be 
one of the largest spring shoots 
ever 
helc 
here.
