The Yazoo City squad led all the squads on the thre|| 
days’ shoot. They were the highest amateur squad, de 
feating Vicksburg and the “Gin squad” of Memphis: 
Tenn. Vicksburg team having accepted a 100-targel 
match for $500, it will probably be shot between YazoJI 
City and ,\ ickslntrg, at the big tournament at Natche 
Miss., the fourth w r eek in September, 
The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., Sept. 9. —Eleven Palefaces braved : 
strong southwest breeze, at Wellington, to-day and fount 
conditions poor, to say the least, the targets ducking an< 
rising at every angle, and making straights or even gooi 
scores an impossibility. 
The programme for the afternoon contained the secon 
last leg for the New England championship, ancf suffioj 
it to say, this event has never had such an interestin; 
finish, five shooters coming within a bird of each other 
it was anybody’s race tili the last target. P. H. Poweii 
of Newport, had the right end of it, and made a grea 
finish after a poor start, though for a time it looker 
like Hassam with his first 50 shot, and only 4 down 
Burnes and Marden were also in the swim. Sam Heb 
bard, though not entering into the contest, came veryl 
close upon topping amateur high score. 
In the cup match, with every one standing even, th< 
handicaps, while not small, did not completely shut ou 
the scratch man, and 5 out of the 11 entered pulled ii 
for the full count. Todd easily deserves the palm, a- 
his 24 was a beaut, and proves that even straight score.- 
may come his way with a little more experience. Scores
