Boston Gun Club. 
!; Boston, Mass.-—The usual Wednesday coterie of trap- 
shooters to the number of eighteen, easily enjoyed them- 
‘ selves to the fullest extent of the word at the Boston 
l Gun Club grounds to-day, though the weather condi¬ 
tions were somewhat opposite, ram being in evidence 
during the majority of the events, enough to dampen 
the ardor of any one except the present attendance. 
O. R. Dickey, fresh from a spring shooting trip among 
the wily brant, proved to be the man for the occasion 
I in the high average line, cleaning up nearly 90 per cent., 
| with a neat 47 out of 50 from the 19yd. mark for a 
i match score. 
Second honors for the afternoon really belong to that 
Greenfield good fellow, Dr. Newton, whose work on the 
last 95, with only 6 misses, was a decidedly clever piece 
of shooting, inasmuch as the doctor had come unpre¬ 
pared for a shoot and was dragged into it by a few of 
the Boston regulars. Such shooting with a strange gun 
is not often witnessed. Just what score would have been 
! made with his own gun is hard to be conceived, though 
evidently a big fight would have been on for high gun 
i with a familiar weapon. 
Roy, Frank and Mayor had a good race for fourth, 
with Roy finally in the lead and the others in the order 
named. 
Buffalo looked somewhat out of place with the score 
against name, but had the satisfaction of knowing that 
i with all this, more targets were broken with his gun than 
with any other, as Dr. Newton thought his the best on 
the grounds to-day, and it proved it beyond doubt. 
Jack Hardy as usual put in a card calling for nearly 
90 per cent, and it now looks as though this particular 
expert was back in the form so apparent in the early 90 s, 
1 when Jack was ready for all comers. 
Fay and Muldown, as usual, had their six-round set-to, 
1 each securing the count on three each, though Fay had 
the satisfaction of putting the crimp on his rival for total 
to the tune of 5 birds. 
Bobby Burns—not the poet, but one of the best friends 
of the trapshooting game near Boston—struck a bad 
streak with a borrowed pump gun; otherwise a much 
higher score would have resulted. Charlie Comer, too, 
seemed considerably lost with only a 70 per cent, average, 
but hopes to be in shape for the Interstate shoot in 
July, and the various other tournaments during the

see Old Shooter.

Monongahela League. 
Fairmont, W. Va., April 9.— The opening of the

with W. A. Wiedebusch, of Fairmont, second, 170. John 
R. Taylor was high professional, 492; Luther Squier sec¬ 
ond, 189. ,
