The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., Feb. 22.— What proved to be the nicest 
shoot ever held on the Paleface grounds was the Wash¬ 
ington’s Birthday shoot to-day, and it will certainly be 
held up as a model for many moons. 
The attendance, while not quite as large as expected, 
was big enough to keep one trap busy the entire day, 
and at intervals the extra set was used for the extra 
events, which were as numerous as fleas on a dog’s back. 
The programme started promptly at 9:30, and the last 
shot was fired at 3 o’clock, which pleased all to be able 
to get away in ample time for getting home easily. 
Many visitors were welcomed. Geo. B. Prest coming all 
the way from New London; Daggett and Parker from 
Winthrop; Henry from Connecticut; Cavicchi from Whit¬ 
man; Frank Hilliard and Straw from Lynn, not forget¬ 
ting the old reliable Palefaces who never miss an event of 
this kind. 
All the honors were taken by Frank, who deserved the 
win if any one did, his 92 per cent, being of the best 
kind of work, and at no time of the day was he any¬ 
where but in the best of form. Geo. Hassam also came 
in for his share as third average and fourth in the 100 - 
bird match, going into his game sack. 
Straw, Parker and Charles took care of the remainder, 
the latter winning his on a shoot-off with Daggett and 
Cavicchi.

Feb. 27.—The final shoot for February, 1909, was held 
here to-day, some twenty Palefaces gathering for the 
occasion. 
The afternoon was replete with enjoyment and can 
up as one of the club’s nicest shoots.. 
To begin with we were again favored with Mayor Reed 
presence, which, together with Frank 
Hilliard, Geo. Hassam, Fred Daggett, Rob. Burnes, and 
others, gave us a banner shooting crowd and a hot 
one, to say the least. 
One Arthur E. Sibley was the particular shining 
light, and certainly deserved to win out, as his shooting 
was as good as we have had for a long time, and only 
the last event, due somewhat to a change in squads was 
otherwise than a 93 per cent. gait. Frank Hilliard also 
kept up his good shooting and took care of second 
average with almost 90 per cent, for an average. 
In the fmal for the Powel cup Frank was high for the 
day, but Cl^arke shot just well enough to hold on to it 
for good. Scores:

March 3.—The twenty-one shooters at the Paleface 
grounds to-day were treated to one of the most discour- 
aging \vinds that has visited this section for some time, 
and made targets dip and raise to such an extent that it 
was impossible to judge with any degree of certainty 
just where and when you wanted to place your gun and 
load. 
Glover kind of put the crimp on the bunch with 
his 83 per cent, average, and deserved the win, his con-

sistent work being A1 and excellent for the conditions. 
In all probability, it would have been 95 per cent, for 
him, if he had been given half a show. 
Gene Reed was the amateur in the lime light and 
cleaned up the list with 3 targets to spare, Clarke’s last 
20 being his particular Waterloo, as in entering the last 
event he was one target ahead. Gene’s experience here 
exhibited itself, and by steady plugging, annexed a 16, 
which was enough to win the laurels for high gun. 
After noting scores, the conditions can be somewhat 
guessed at, as there was only one score better than 17 
during the afternoon, and that was on Glover’s fourth try.
