New York A. C. Ch&tnpionship. 
The New York A. C. trapshooting season at Travers 
Island came to a close May 8 , with the second half of the 
club championship of 200 targets. The day was ideal for 
shooting, and the scoring close and the result unex¬ 
pected. In the first 100 targets, shot a week ago, Hodg- 
man was in the lead, and a strong favorite for the title 
yesterday when the shooting began, but F. H. Schauffler 
was on edge, and he shattered 93 out of the 100, beating 
Hodgman 6 targets on the day’s work and making a 
grand total of 181. Hodgman and C. W. Billings were 
even, with totals of 178, and there being second and 
third prizes, they had to shoot off the tie. The pair 
were content to have 25 targets trapped. Billings made 
a grandstand finish by shattering the entire string. 
Hodgman made 23. Schauffler was presented with a dia¬ 
mond studded medal, having the winged foot on one 
side and an inscription on the other. ■ 
Dan Bradley, W. J. Elias and F. C. Durham took 
part in yesterday’s shoot, but as they were not present 
at the first session, their work did not count.

The final event of the day, a Dixie shoot, for prizes 
presented by Mr. T. C. Durham and P. R. Robinson, 
was won by R. M. Owen, with W. J. Elias second. 
Shooting will be begun again about the middle of Oc¬ 
tober, and in the meantime the boys are going to try 
to console themselves with golf and fishing. 
P. R. Robinson, Sec’y. 
Boston and Vicinity. 
An afternoon holiday shoot is scheduled for the Pale¬ 
face grounds May 31, to suit the stay-at-homes. Some¬ 
thing interesting in the way of a programme may be 
expected. 
C. E. Comer was under the weather last week, and 
not able to join the target smashers at Wellington on 
Wednesday. Safe to say that he was missed, and every¬ 
body will gladly hear of his speedy recovery. 
Practical demonstration of the Maxim silencer was 
made last week for the benefit of Boston sportsmen at a 
prominent gun house, creating considerable interest. 
Programmes of the Haines Landing, May 31-June 1 
shoot are on deck, and a Boston party is scheduled to 
leave for Rangeley, May 29 under the able direction of 
Geo. Hassam. 
G. L. Osborne, of the B. A. A., has gone to Maine for 
his annual fishing trip. 
The Melrose Highlands Club have a match with Phil¬ 
lips-Andover at Melrose, May 15. 
Any holiday or Saturday will find the Marblehead 
members busy shooting, for their schedule for 1909 season 
includes every available date. 
Portland, Me., has a good shoot promised for May 28. 
Paleface perturbation was short-lived with regard to that 
proposed slaughter house addition to Wellington. The 
project was killed by the Medford Board of Aldermen, 
so there will be no public hearing on the matter. 
Frank Hilliard was in a right destructive mood at the 
Wednesday shoot, and nothing less than 97 out of 100 
satisfied him. According to the boys, the glory rests with 
the right party, and the congratulations were loud, long 
and sincere. If only Frank had been in form the pre¬ 
ceding week, Dr. Burr wouldn’t have had such a snap. 
Charlie Comer’s handicapping put nine in the tie at the 
last Paleface shoot, and 50 targets in the tie eliminated 
but two aspirants. The reason was easy to find, with 
everybody the last two months shooting so poorly that 
their handicaps were big, and all had a look-in. This 
is as it should be. The draw was settled by numbers 
from a hat. Horace held the hat and numbered the slips, 
while Buff drew the winning number for Mayor Reed. 
Buffalo visitors the past fortnight were Chas. F. Lam¬ 
bert and E. H. Smith._ The former violated the feelings 
of his friends by missing the three-day shoot, and if it 
should ever occur again, we refuse to think of what 
might happen. 
Some excellent marksmanship was shown at the Yale- 
Harvard shoot on the Cambridge grounds May 1, under 
adverse weather conditions. The Yale team amassed the 
wonderful total of 230 out of 250, while Harvard had to 
be content with 216, a score that will win more often 
than not. Morrison, of the Blues, missed his first two 
targets, then put the next 48 straight out of business. 
Morrison and Dickey tied on 48 and had to shoot off for 
the individual high gun trophy under miss-and-out con¬ 
ditions. Dickey missed his first _ and Morrison broke, 
which settled it. Mr. Buffalo Smith refereed the match 
with satisfaction to all. 
A meeting of the Palefaces was held Monday evening. 
May 9, after a delightful dinner at the American House. 
Officers were elected as follows for the ensuing year: 
Geo. Hassam, Governor General; E. B. Buldown, Lieu¬ 
tenant-Governor General; H. C. Kirkwood, Seeretary- 
Treasurer. Together with these officers, Ray Richardson, 
R. N. Burnes, C. F. Marden, H. T. Bryant, C. E. Comer 
and A. E. Sibley will compose the council board. The

shooting grounds corps elected C. E. Comer, President; 
Geo. Hassam, Vice-President, and H. C. Kirkwood, Sec¬ 
retary-Treasurer. 
The five-man team, 30-shot match, revolvers only, be¬ 
tween the Boston Revolver Club and the St. Louis Club 
last week resulted in a win for the latter, according to 
the telegraphed scores. The St. Louis team won by the 
score of 1290 against Boston’s 1237, and a return match 
may be shot later. Individual scores were as follows: 
St. Louis—S. E. Sears 264, M. R. Moore 264, W. C. 
Ayer 250, Chas. Dominic 262, C. C. Crossman 250; total 
1290. Boston Revolver Club—K. D. Jewett 255, B. W. 
Percival 250, O. E. Gerrish 247, C. E. Heath 245, W. R, 
Baldwin 240; total 1237. 
Mr. Rudolph R. Thanisch, an honorary member of the 
B. R. C., has offered as a prize a Luger automatic pistol 
for a 500-shot handicap pistol and revolver match open to 
members only. The club is arranging another handicap 
match for three prizes, from May 15 to June 15, pistol 
shooters being handicapped 2 points on each ten shots, 
five best strings of 5 shots each to constitute a score. 
The annual meeting of the Boston Athletic Association 
disclosed a very satisfactory financial condition after a 
singularly prosperous year. Last November the club 
paid $15,000 into the sinking fund, making a third pay¬ 
ment of this amount since the new bonds were issued. 
The club has 666 candidates on the waiting list for active 
membership and 59 for non-resident membership. It was 
announced that more individuals had taken part in the 
gun club shoots than ever before. 
Yellow-legs, plovers and sandpipers of a dozen species 
are now being shown in the Boston Society of Natural 
History building at Berkeley and Boylston streets. This 
latest acquisition is the gift of Dr. John C. Phillips, and 
the specimens were collected and mounted in life-like pos¬ 
tures by C. Emerson Brown. Mr. Brown has also in 
preparation a collection of winter shore birds, which Dr. 
Phillips pioposes to give to the museum. 
Yale won the intercollegiate trapshooting contest last 
Saturday, with the score of 416 out of a possible 500. 
Harvard was second with 398. Princeton third with 393, 
and Pennsylvania fourth with 284. E. H. Wright, of 
Princeton, won the individual honor. 
A. Knignt, with a handicap of 24 targets, won the 
May 8 shoot of the B. A. A. at Riverside, Mass. Dr. 
Gleason was high scratch man with 90 in the regular 
event, and put up a score of 98 in practice later. Four¬ 
teen members and two guests competed.
