W. R. Zappey, the noted taxidermist, returned last 
week from some extensive explorations in the interest 
of wealthy scientists, and is reported to have gathered 
a choice lot of specimens. 
Boston loses two well known sportsmen in the deaths 
of Benjamin C. Clark, of the Back Bay, and E. E. Clapp, 
of East Weymouth. -Both were enthusiastic wielders of 
the scatter-gun, and in their life-time had killed con¬ 
siderable game. Mr. Clark was well known for his 
kindly acts to the poor and needy, as he gave much 
time to philanthropic work. His efforts toward the 
reformation of prisoners and discharged convicts will 
long be remembered. 
A Boston daily has been publishing opinions of dif¬ 
ferent shooters on the killing of shore birds. The pro 
and con of the matter is as two-sided as the argument 
between the partridge hunters and the fox chasers. 
There’s a reason on both sides. 
J. H. Cameron, Sim Glover and T. E. Doremus were 
trade visitors of the past week. 
Dr. Wm. Lord Smith and Gorham Brooks with their 
party left Boston, May 22, for Mombasa, British East 
Africa, equipped for four or five months’ hunting in 
the interest of certain museums. 
A recent Sunday Herald devoted considerable space 
describing the interesting collection of skins and 
mounted game now on exhibition at the Milton Public 
Library. They form but part of the mementoes which 
Gerrit Forbes secured in his African travels of 1908. 
Pictures were shown of the noteworthy kills, and much 
interesting information given 'of the trip. 
Roy Faye captured the honors in the B. A. A. shoot 
of last Saturday, at Riverside, by breaking 96, which 
his added handicap increased to 98. Fred Whitney won 
an extra 25-target event, with 23 breaks and 4 handi¬ 
cap, total 27. Dr. Gleason and Faye tied in the second 
extra on 24 breaks from scratch. 
A party of fifteen Palefaces visited Portland, Me., for 
the one-day registered shoot of May 28, and to a man 
all are enthusiastic over the courteous treatment ac¬ 
corded by the Portland Gun Club. The home party 
could not do enough to make the visitors feel at hoitie 
and seemed delighted to entertain the large party. The 
fact that the five prizes went to Boston made no dif¬ 
ferences either. A splendid dinner was served on t^e 
grounds, and only the weather was in a disagreeable 
mood, it raining hard most-of the day. ; 
Everybody has. taken a look at the sample Da;ly 
single-barrel trap gun, which came to Boston last week, 
and voted it the slickest proposition yet'shown for the 
purpose. Modeled after the single-stickers used by the 
leading amateurs -in the big tournaments last year, Jt 
had beauty; and stability to the gunmaker’s taste. 1 
Acceptances for -the Paleface re-union, June 12, are 
coming in thick and fast, denoting a successful after¬ 
noon shoot on the Wellingtton grounds. A mammoth 
team , shoot is being arranged with prizes enough (o 
make . it interesting for all. Programme is 100 targe^, 
with prizes for high averages. . There will be a novelty 
match on a special trap with everything ■ furnished by 
the Palefaces at 3 shots for 5 cents. ' 
:Capt. Mars-hall is trying to -arrange the second team 
match between the ' Eastern Game Protective Associa¬ 
tion and the Lawrence Fish and Game Association. 
' June l9 is-talked of as the likely date. 
A Prejudgmeni. .... 
California, May 20 . — Editor Forest and Stream: .-Vs a 
sportsman of- many years’ experience in the use of rifles 
and guns, J cannot read' the advertisement of the ap¬ 
pliance called the'“Maxim Silencer” without making a 
protest against its use and manufacture. 
I assert that it .is against all reasonable and humane 
sentiment to countenance this latest contrivance attached 
to the too deadly and cheap instruments of de.structiqn 
with which men kill other animals and themselves. 
If the contrivance is what it is claimed to be, pre¬ 
ventive of all “explosion noise,” and which “can be 
carried in the vest pocket and attached and detached to 
or from a rifle in four seconds,” I consider it to be tile 
most infernal machine human ingenuity could devise, .r 
If there is honest sentiment, and any influence at all 
. among sportsmen, laws, will certainly be made and en¬ 
force throughout the world to prevent the use of a de¬ 
vice that will enable murderous skulkers to assassinate 
. with silent guns. , , , 
I regret that I should see the infernal appjiance ad¬ 
vertised for the first time in Forest and Stream, and 
I have neither the time nor patience to offer any argu¬ 
ment against a thing that must be universajly condemned 
as soon as it is offered or seen.

Bosfon and Vicinity. 
High scores ruled at the Paleface shoot of May 26, 
weather conditions being ideal and the boys in a mood 
to do it justice. A. E. Sibley and J. H. Brinley tied 
on 96, and Jack lost his last target through a balk at 
that. Everybody thought him due for a 97,, as he was 
working like a machine'and smashing them fine. J. C. 
Todd, the Newburyport amateur, was not far from 
the leaders with a 92. Targets were a good 50yds., but 
the flights were regular.- 
Mr. J. H. Anderson, of Philadelphia, favored us with 
a call last week en route to the Haines Landing shoot. 
Mr. Anderson is to sample trap conditions around Bos¬ 
ton this summer, having located at Oak Bluffs, , 
C. F. Jordan has donated a prize for some Paleface 
shoots, to further emphasize the cordial feeling existing 
between the Portland Gun Club and the Paleface As¬ 
sociation, 
Bergen Beach Gun Club. 
Bergen Beach, L. I., May 29. — The weather was de¬ 
lightfully pleasant, and there was a fair attendance qf 
trapshooters. Good scoring was frequently in evidence. 
Each event was at 25 targets.
