straight, the total of the programme on practice day,

The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., Aug. 12.-—What was lacking in num¬ 
bers was easily made up for in enthusiasm at the regu¬ 
lar Paleface weekly, held at Wellington to-day, just 
thirteen shooters in all entering into the fray at some 
time during the afternoon. 
In the main event of the afternoon, the New England 
championship, some of the most exciting times were 
witnessed, as the consistent shooting of all entered 
made it. anything but a runaway race. Edgarton, the 
Connecticut representative, took the lead from the gong 
and held it till the fifth event, when the hard-working 
secretary of the Palefaces piled in a 15 straight and took 
a lead of 2 targets for a short time. Winters also 
made a gain, coming within one target of Edgarton 
and ready to take advantage of any slowing up on the 
part of either of the two leaders. 
In the last round the nerve-racking still continued, 
Charles having a bad half hour at the first, but pulling 
himself together at the last like a major. In the mean¬ 
time Edgarton ha'd been sawing wood, nipping two 
targets more, and was in tie for the honors unless Win¬ 
ters turned in a straight, which was an almost im¬ 
possible thing to do in such a position. Winters did 
turn in for 16, which landed him all alone for second 
position, Burnes and Nelson placing 83s to their credit. 
In the shoot-off some of the prettiest shooting was 
shown, each shooter being right on his mettle and 
desirous of taking away the coveted honor. Edgarton, 
however, being forced to change loads, was at a decided 
disadvantage, while his opponent was right in form, 
breaking target after target, and in a manner quite 
worthy of a Chief Heap Talk, 25 straight resulting, and 
the cup now sports another name to its already long list 
of fortunates. 
In the Powers cup match, our mutual friend, Burnes, 
again clipped our wings, and a possible was the result, 
which makes the second in succession, the race now 
taking on another aspect as a formidable first place 
applicant looms forth to do battle with Charles, who 
has held the fort since the first. Scores:

Bradford Gun Club. 
Bradford, Pa., Aug. 19. —The regular weekly shoot 
of the Bradford Gun Club was held on the Foster 
Brook grounds yesterday afternoon. 
We have with us J. A. Stoops, of Butler, Pa., and 
F. C. Tyler, of Dunkirk, N. Y. Brother Tyler has been 
down this week to the races, laying a little change on 
the fast ones, and it took a long line of argument to 
get him to break away in the afternoon of the shoot; 
but -when Frank Conneely volunteered him the use of 
his 95 per cent, gun, he succumbed, and accepted the 
same with the remark that he could beat the man that 
owned the gun, and just how near he came to make 
good is tabulated below. Tyle, old boy, is there when 
it comes to the scatter gnn. 
Henline has been out in the grand circuit for the 
past month, and is showing great form for a compara- 
timely green one. He won the amateur average at 
Lock Haven last week, and scored 96 out of 109 yes¬ 
terday. 
The public is cordially invited to come and attend the 
annual green
