Boston and Vicinity. 
Chas. E. Comer, the popular Paleface Secretary, has 
been more than busy moving his Commercial College 
from Boylston street to his new rooms on Washington 
street. We all wish him the best of luck at the new 
address. , , , 
Henry Powers, late of the Boston bunch, but now of the 
Chalfonte, Atlantic City, made a flying visit last week 
to escort his family to the City by the Sea. All Henry 
is wait'ng for now is to entertain his old friends at the 
Westy Hogan annual. , . , 
Quite a detachment of “pros spent the holiday m the 
Hub precincts. W. B. Darton, of the Marlin Co.; E. P. 
Wilkin and Geo. Darton, of the U. M. C. Co.; John 
Brinley, of the W. R. A. Co., and Gil Wheeler, of the 
Peters Co., were mostly in evidence. 
Everybody is ready for the Paleface banquet, and a 
dandy visiting bee is expected. If only Tom Marshall 
were here to help. , , . 
Perhaps Dr. Gleason’s 44 out of 25 pair at the B. A. A. 
holiday shoot didn’t cause a lot of whooping and snort¬ 
ing. It’s the Doctor’s winning way to cut out his regu¬ 
lar practice for a while and then shoot all the better for 
the rest. He won a dandy prize with the corking score 
on doubles, as Roy Faye had him one in the contest at 
singles. 
The New England Kennel Club’s annual bench show 
was the usual success last week, when dog lovers 
thronged Mechanics’ Building for the four days and 
evenings. 
Marblehead had a good turnout on the holiday, about 
twenty shooters participating, which included a few 
visitors from Boston. Robert Smith was high on 100 
targets with 90; Courtis second, 88; Caswell third, 85. 
Chamberlain and Courtis were the best pair in the handi¬ 
cap team race with score of 95. 
The beautiful trophy presented to the Palefaces by 
P. H. Powell, of Newport, has gone to one of the newest 
shooters at the Wellington grounds. The final shoot oc¬ 
curred Feb. 27, and considerable interest has been shown 
in the placing of scores. W. F. Clarke shot the four 
best scores, with his handicap making a total of 376. 
Capt. J. H. Daggett carried off the honors for month 
of February over the Riverside traps. He was high gun 
for the day at the final shoot, and led the field with the 
best six scores of 50 targets out of the eight for the 
month with a total of 275. 
The kids assembled at Wellington, Feb. 22. They were 
all ages and sizes, but as a unit in interestedly watching 
the game. “Gee,” one says, “that fellow bings ’em.” _A 
couple of husky ones risked pneumonia by taking a swim 
in the river nearby, slightly mistaking the balmy day for 
a sample of the good old summer time. 
B. A. A. members shot at more than 6,000 targets on 
the holiday, showing in the best fashion their apprecia¬ 
tion of the committee’s attractive programme. The shoot 
at j 50 targets under special conditions for a fine dueling 
pistol was won by Dr. Gleason on 134. Roy Faye was 
second with 130. Prizes on the first 100 target handicap 
went to C. C. Clapp and G. B. Tucker. O. R. Dickey 
put up the best net score in the afternoon with 92 breaks 
out of the 100. Roy Faye won the high gun prize on 
single targets for the entire day with 176 out of 200. 
The Washington’s Birthday shoot at Wellington was a 
particularly pleasant one. Everything worked to a charm, 
and everybody left the grounds conscious of a day well 
spent in the glorious outdoors. Conditions were simply 
perfect for the time of year, and a half dozen ladies 
graced the occasion. Lunch was served by the club 
all except that portion forgotten by Secretary Comer. 
The cheese was enjoyed later in the day, and Frank 
Hilliard found the remnants as a prize package in his 
nice English bag on the Lynn train. 
The presence of a thirteen-year old enthusiast rather 
disconcerted one squad at a recent shoot. _ The young¬ 
ster is crazy over shooting, and recently punished himself 
with 12-gauge loads of 3% drams, when he found they 
broke more targets than 2% drams. He stuck it out, 
however, and with a man’s gun broke 6 straight before 
crying quits. The little coterie have organized a gun 
club, and the next afternoon’s shoot comprises 15 targets. 
Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y., Feb. 27. —To-dav was not the regular 
shooting day of the Ossining Gun Club, but a few of the 
members got together and shot several strings, with the 
following result. Dr. Chas. Sweet shot clays for the 
first tim.e to-day.

The Gui\ for 
all Purposes 
The Hunter One-Trigger is the latest and greatest achieve¬ 
ment in the manufacture of shotguns. Smith Guns equipped with 
the Hunter One-trigger have a tremendous popularity among 
the sportsmen everywhere, both for field and trap-shooting.

SMITH GUNS 
Hunter One-trigger 
The Hunter One-Trigger is the only perfect, practical, one trigger 
action ever devised. It cannot balk or double, it meets every requirement, 
and it overcomes all the familiar drawbacks of two trigger action. 
There is already an enormous demand for the new 20 Gauge Smith Gun 
—weight 5X to 6 lbs., and a little beauty. If you do not know about it, be 
sure and write.
