Dr. Burr did not enter the sweeps the first day, but 
on the second and third days he was right there with 
the berries. 
J. C. Todd annexed a fourth amateur average on the 
second day. J. C. is one of Boston’s newest trap- 
shooters, and looks to be a comer. A new 34in. fusee 
has helped this enthusiast amazingly. 
Frank hardly struck his clip on either day, though 
he came in among the winners in the 100 -target race. 
Chas. E. Comer was there with both feet, winning third 
average the second day. Charlie’s duties of secretary 
were hardly conducive to high scores, but it just made 
him dig all the harder. 
W. B. Darton picked up one of the prize targets and 
says the combination it is made of was a new one to him. 
In view of the years of experience this expert has had 
we can vouch for its correctness. 
Jack Fanning’s gun did not gun the first day, and 
put Jack down and out, as far as a good score was con¬ 
cerned. Jack had a perfect right to quit, but sooner 
than disappoint the boys by not shooting he accepted his 
ill luck with his usual grace. Wednesday and Thursday, 
with Old Betsey working right, how he did snuff them 
out from the 20 yd. mark. 
Winners of averages on Wednesday among the ama¬ 
teurs were given an additional yard on Thursday. Dr. 
Burr eclipsed his score very handily, but Kirkwood’s 
(21), Comer’s (19), and Todd’s (17) seemed to prove 
disastrous. 
Mayor Reed and Buffalo Smith were both espousing 
the good cause of the Liberty Cartridge Co. Gene ex¬ 
pects to be able to show some of these goods before 
long, and the boys are surely waiting to see them. 
Roy Hodsdon had hard luck, not at any time showing 
what would be called decent form. Roy ordinarily can 
be reckoned on for 90 at any distance, but somehow 
never seemed able to get started.
