Forest Park Gun Club. 
Atchison, Kans.-—The spring tournament of the Forest 
Park Gun Club, April 14, was an unqualified success, 
both in attendance and enthusiasm. By the courtesy of 
the W inchester Repeating Arms Company and the Dead 
Shot Powder people and the kindness of Louis Erhardt 
and Chris Gottlieb, we secured Mr. and Mrs. Topperwein 
for one of their matchless exhibitions. Fully a thousand 
people saw their shooting and stayed to the last. A ball 
game nearby could not get a crowd until the Topper- 
weins were through. It was the finest thing of its kind 
ever seen in Atchison, and aroused much enthusiasm 
among our shooters. 
Unfortunately the weather was not favorable for good 
scores, but none of the professionals present need be 
ashamed of their records under the conditions. Gottlieb 
got high average. Scores as follows:

Boston Gun Club. 
Just a Word With You, Mr. Trapshooter! 
F. E. Rogers, who won the 1906 
Grand American Handicap shooting 
Winchester Factory Loaded Shells 
SHOULD some solicitous shell man seek 
to have you promise to shoot his make 
of shells instead of the winning Winchester 
Factory Loaded brand at the Grand American 
Ha dicap this year, listen not to his dulcet 
tones of persuasion but turn toward him thine 
ear with the protector in. If he persists in 
his pleadings, tell him that you are out to win 
and that Winchester Factory Loaded Shells 
are the winning ones. Remind him that the 
Grand Americans for 1905 and 1906 were 
won with Winchester Shells ; that during the 
Boston, Mass., April 24. —“Trapshooting to the four 
winds” was a good motto for to-day’s Boston Gun Club’s 
afternoon events, as not once during the entire after¬ 
noon was it otherwise than a gale, seemingly from all di¬ 
rections. The old house, which has weathered many a 
storm since 1881, creaked and groaned in its efforts to' 
remain on its foundations. 
In view of the conditions, the scores made were good, 
and no one not there could understand the adverse 
elements that baffled the shooters. Like the proverbial 
Irishman and the flea, you put your charge just exactly 
where the target was, but it was not there. Some ex¬ 
asperating experiences were the result. But, with all the 
trials and tribulations, the attendance, which numbered 
thirteen, was the usual B. G. C. gathering, solely on 
pleasure bent. Hit or miss, the fun waxed all through 
the nine events. 
Buffalo held the seat of honor, securing the high 
average, and the only straight during the afternoon. 
Burnes gave him a good argument till the last event, 
when the Wellington zephyrs were more in evidence 
than at any other time. Buffalo’s 15 in the same event 
was a pretty piece of work, the result of quick action 
and thought in the hands of this worthy expert. 
As usual, Frank was there; in fact, the club would not 
know what to do if he did not arrive on the first train. 
He cleverly held his nearest competitor, Roy, in the 
prize match. It certainly looks as though, with only two 
more shoots to go, the Class A winner is all but named. 
Class B, as has been the case since the start, fur¬ 
nished the excitement. Hardy, Muldown and Comer 
holding on in good shape. At present, it is a toss-up 
for first honors, and will not be decided till the last 
shoot. Present outlook somewhat point to Muldown, 
but Hardy just seems to saw wood and let the shooting 
count. 
Kawop put the lid on Class C first prize and nothing 
short of an avalanche can get it away from him, though 
late shoots have put Horrigan in the running. Scores:

The Paleface ShooL 
Boston, Mass., April 27. —An event which all of Bos¬ 
ons trapshooters are interested in will culminate 
'Wednesday, May 1, when the Association of Palefaces 
in - first s h°ot on their newly acquired property 
at Wellington, Mass., and open for public use the 
Paleface snooting grounds. 
-These grounds, formerly belonging to the Boston 
•i?°t. ln ^ Association, when alterations are completed, 
will be of great benefit to trapshooters in general, good 
year they won the Western Handicap, Pacific Coast Handicap, Sunny 
South Handicap, International Live Bird Championship, Grand 
Canadian Handicap at Targets ; and were used 
by the shooter making the longest amateur 
run of 235 straight, and by the five-man squad 
"which made a world’s record of 490 out of 500. 
Also that they won and hold all American and 
World’s Championship Trophies for target and 
live bird shooting. Shells that are able to make 
and hold such records as these tell their own story 
of uniformity, of reliability, of pattern, of pene¬ 
tration and all other qualities desirable in shotgun 
shells. Therefore, be sure to order 
WINCHESTER 
FACTORY LOADED SHELLS 
AND ACCEPT NO OTHERS

train service, electric car service, finest of roads for those 
interested in automobiles, making them easy of access 
from Boston; in fact, only twenty minutes will be neces¬ 
sary from the heart of the city, and the business man 
can find an up-to-date shooting ground, with facilities 
second to none in the country. 
Some of Boston’s best business men have supported 
the Association in its undertaking, and present indica¬ 
tions point to quite an influx of these most influential 
parties, whose main desire is to secure during the day 
an hour or two free from all the perplexing problems 
during the day’s business. 
The alterations to these grounds will be commenced 
immediately, and may take some little time; but this 
will not prevent special shoots being run at various in¬ 
tervals, which the Association hopes will -be of great 
interest to all shoters. The first alterations to be made 
will be in making the trapping facilities four sets, the 
same as will be used at the Interstate’s Eastern Handi¬ 
cap, giving those shooters who are desirous of visiting 
the grounds prior to July 16, 17 and 18 an opportunity 
to become accustomed to the ground conditions, as 
many shoots, both private and open, will be held on the 
grounds during the next two months. 
The grounds will be open every week day, and parties 
desiring to make arrangements for their use will be 
given every information possible pertaining to same, 
either by the superintendent at the grounds or the Bos¬ 
ton office, 23 Elm street. Special attention will be given 
to the novice who desires to secure his first practice 
without_ the publicity of the open tournament, this 
feature in itself promising a great deal of benefit to trap¬ 
shooting. 
The Association desires to extend to all lovers of the 
gun an invitation to visit the grounds and indulge in this 
most wholesome of outdoor sports. Palefaces.
