establishes ownership. A contestant who is high gun at 
16yds., shoots thereafter from 18yds. in this competition. 
Ties will be shot off at 25 targets. 
From the Shooting Times we take the following ex¬ 
cerpt: “Commenting on the contrivances used at shoot¬ 
ing schools and the amusement to be derived from walk- 
ing-up clay birds, and tin rabbits, the Daily Mail says: 
‘Such sport is yearly growing in popularity, and some 
of the best shots are men who object to shooting real 
birds.’ This is news indeed, and ere long we shall 
expect to read advertisements of ‘Artificial Game Pre¬ 
serve to let for coming season within 20 minutes of 
Charing Cross.—Wanted, a gun to join a clay bird shoot¬ 
ing syndicate. 100,000 clay birds and many gross of tin 
ground-game in hand.’ ” How about a camera also for 
those who enjoy so-called “shooting without a gun”? 
Bernard Waters. 
The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., Sept. 28.-—The closing shoot of the 
Palefaces for the season 1907-1908 was held on their 
grounds to-day, and like the majority of its predecessors, 
proved a huge success from start to finish. Some thirty- 
eight shooters in all participated during the ten events, 
with variable results, though in most cases the scores 
were good, when taking into consideration the con¬ 
ditions. 
The shoot itself was the second annual Paleface mer¬ 
chandise shoot, no money prizes being offered of any de- 
cription and all prizes donated by the enthusiastic 
Paleface members. 
That every one responded most generously to Secre¬ 
tary’s Comer’s appeal, goes without saying, as whoever 
saw a Boston trapshooter who was not ready to dig 
down deep into his jeans to further a sport so well 
liked. The result was that every shooter has a souvenir 
to remember the occasion, the expert as well as his less 
expert brother shooter. 
The surprise of the occasion was the winning of high 
average by Sands, but it was a well-deserved win, in 
view of the fact that from beginning to end he was right 
near the top and shot in remarkably good form, to say 
the least. His side partner, Powel, who led most of the 
latter part, stubbed his toe in the brush match, allowing 
Sands to tie for the lead, which he increased: one target 
by breaking the last 15 straight to Powel’s 14. 
Dinnin and Hebbard had a most interesting race, 
Hebb. coming very near to turning the trick on the 
last event. 
The team match was, as usual, full of interest, the 
teams being mixed up in such a manner that it was im¬ 
possible to even prophecy a possible winner. That there 
were five of the teams within 6 birds of each other 
speaks _ well for the handicapper, and until the last 
squad it was uncertain which team would win. 
The brush match caused all sorts of remarks, both for 
and against, but it was amusing to be sure, which was 
what was wanted Muldown, Straw and Dinnin were 
the trio to secure high guns, and in settlement Muldown 
proved the better guesser on the silver toss. 
The 120-target race had thirty-three enries, Sibley out- 
shooting the entire field and heading the procession in 
this, as well as the average. Brimley, the only other 
professional shooting through, came in for sixth general 
average, and was well up in the special contest. Scores:

Notes. 
The Palefaces were without the help of their regular 
cashier, Fred P. Miller, but every one helped, so the 
events went on with the usual speed. 
O. R. Dickey was conspicuous by his absence, but 
promises to never let it occur again. 
Charlie Marden had hard luck. Two of his 15 straights 
came in events that were thrown out on the special 
match. 
Cole and Clark had a good-natured try out for the low 
average, with Cole winning out with a few to spare. 
Sibley and Brinley kindly refused to accept their 
prizes, so the management put them up on special events, 
Sands winning one on a straight score, and Edgarton the 
other after a hard shoot-off. 
Gilmore selected a pair of chickens for his prize. As 
he won the same last year, he evidently knew what he 
came for, and had his instructions from headquarters. 
Todd was ’way off on form, but at that, was well up 
in the list of winners. 
Charles took a fishing pole for his, but does not know 
hpw or where to use it, as any spare time is spent with 
either a 16 or 12 gauge. 
Buffalo made the selection of a glass pitcher, prob¬ 
ably to use with pink lemonade. No cherries in it, 
sure. 
Roy Hodsdon, just heme from Maine, arrived too late 
to shoot in the programme, but made a swell judge of 
position in the brush match. 
Squad No. 1 was supposed to be the crackerjack, but 
not one of them got into the averages. 
A. L. Dinnin only missed one out of the first 45. A 
new pump gun has made big strides for Jimmie. 
Henry Powers was here, there and everywhere, look¬ 
ing after his company’s interests. 
The ladies turned out in full force, some thirty in all 
being present during the afternoon. Among the regulars 
m the Ladies’ Paleface Auxiliary were Mrs. C. C. Comer, 
Mrs. C. F. Marden and Miss Kirkwood, all having a 
hand in the proceeding at some time or other. 
One of the nicest prizes in the whole list was a sofa 
cushion made of leather, with the Paleface emblem 
burnt in. Needless to say, this was selected first, but 
Newport would not be denied it eventually, Sand’s fine 
shooting doing the trick to perfection. 
Edgarton was the only Connecticut amateur, and took 
home with him a candle stick for the purpose of finding 
a few more averages next season. 
Straw took the box of smokes away with him, but 
could not give them away to a friend next day. Some 
say it was because Horace bought them, but you never 
can tell. 
Next year’s will be still beter if Buffalo Smith’s appeal 
to the shooters works well. Buffalo, as usual, led the 
Jolly Fellows’ Club on all occasions. Henry Edgarton 
felt the force of his remarks, as all can testify. 
Last, but not least, Duke, the friend of all Wellington 
shooters, watched with his usual good luck over the 
one set of traps.

W. C. Wootton, Sec’y. 
Western Pa. Trapshooters’ Tournament 
TiiE sixth and last tournament of the Western Penn¬ 
sylvania Trapshooters’ Association was held on the 
grounds of the Lawrence Gun Club, New Castle, Pa., 
Sept. 24 and 25, under the most favorable conditions, 
the weather being fine, with scarcely any breeze. The 
traps in good condition, there was nothing to mar the 
flight of the targets. 
The first day opened with twenty-two shooters, twenty 
of whom shot through the day’s programme of 200 tar¬ 
gets. The second day, just twice that many shot 
through the entire programme of 150. 
The trade was represented by Mr. W. B. Darton, 
Harry Welles, Luther Squier and Homer Young. 
High professional average for the two days was made • 
by Luther Squier, making 333. 
High amateur average for the two days was made by 
J. T. Atkinson (Lawrence Gun Club), he having broken 
336. Other high amateur scores were made by S. W. 
Bilsing (Lawrence Gun Club), 335; Robt. Frost, Belle- 
vernon; C. D. Henline, Bradford, and Lew Fleming, 
of Pittsburg. 
The first day resulted in “our Jimmie” Atkinson win¬ 
ning high average, breaking 189 out of a possible 200, 
with S. W. Bilsing second with 188, and Frost third with 
187, and Squier fourth with 186. 
Second day: Atkinson, Bilsing and Squier tied on 147, 
each dropping three out of the day’s programme, this 
giving Atkinson the high average by one target over 
Bilsing for the two days. 
The office was taken care of by Luther Squier and 
Chas. G. Grubb, who are so proficient in this line that 
the last shot was scarcely fired before they were ready 
to settle with each shooter. It is certainly a pleasure 
to have such men in the office, and the club wishes to 
extend its heartiest thanks to these gentlemen. 
Another pleasing feature of each day’s programme was 
the exhibition of fancy shooting given by our good 
friend, E. W. Kelly. His demonstration was wonderful, 
was much appreciated and won great applause from the 
large audience present. The club wishes to extend its 
thanks to him for his efforts in making this tournament 
so much of a success. Following are the scores:
