The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., Oct. 16. —The Paleface special mid- 
veek shoot was held on a Thursday, to enable us to 
lave present Fred Stone of the Red Mill fame, and 
some fifteen shooters shot during the six events, which 
Were brimful of interest from all standpoints. 
To begin with, the race for high average was a corker, 
md it is safe to say that a prettier exhibition of sboot- 
ng has not been seen here for some time than that as 
served up to us by Stone, Comer and Kirkwood. To 
. start in with, Fred broke the first two events straight 
and was well into the third event before his first c’pher 
j appeared in the score, ending high for the first 6Q with 
jmly one misplay, with his nearest competitor another 
| target less. The second 50 was almost a repetition of 
the first, though in the second 15 Stone dropped two 
targets and then cleaned up the last 20 in fine shape. 
Meanwhile Comer had been sawing wood as well, 
though the last 20 saw him with three misses, which 
gave him a well-earned third average, though at the 
time it looked like a 95 for Charlie. Kirkwood’s last 50 
was straight. Fred’s lead of one target was wiped out 
and a 98 was the result, ending a most strenuous struggle 
for average, as every one admitted. 
Keen as the average race was, it was no more inter- 
f esting than the added target handicap, every shooter 
securing his alloted share, some five shooters securing 
the possible. Charles scored heavily on this his handi¬ 
cap and good shooting. 
After the programme two team matches were shot, 
Stone and Buffalo shooting against Todd and Kirk¬ 
wood, each team securing a win, the former on a 3-tar¬ 
get lead, and the latter had to be content with just one.

Oct. 8.—Ten shooters greeted Fred Stone’s first visit 
1 to the Paleface grounds since 1907, and made merry for 
the two and a half hours allotted them. 
One Dr. Gleason was all the candy, securing high 
j average after a tryout with the genial Fred himself, the 
! former securing an 86 per cent and the latter an 85 
1 per cent. Buffalo easily copped third with an 82 per- 
' cent., a no mean score when you consider that through 
I none of the regular officers being in attendance, it fell 
to his lot to be the maid of all work and run office, 
traps, etc. 
An impromptu 50-target match was arranged in a 
hurry under the handicapping of Buffalo, Steele annex¬ 
ing enough broken targets to secure the possible of 
50 with his handicap of 12, making it an easy task to 
get into the finals. Stone’s 97, with 10 added, gave 
him second high, while Kirkwoods 98, with 6, made 104 
for him. Burnes and Marden each got home, the latter 
just reaching the coveted mark. 
In the shoot-off some of the boys went way wrong, 
1 Charles and Kirkwood again making the possible and 
agreed to shoot it off on the 21yds. line in hopes of 
ending the suspense. Charles carried off the palm, his 
20, with 5 added. nosing out his side partner whose 
efforts of 23 and 1% coming just a hair breadth shy. 
; Burnes and Stone also had a run for third, Stone 
j holding up in nice style, but Bob having been forced 
to change loads, fell off targets way too many and made 
his first poor showing in many moons.

WINCHESTER 
“Brush” Guns And “Brush” Shells 
The Winchester “Brush” Gun is made in 12 and 16 gauges 
and lists at $27.00; the retail price is lower. It has a 26 
inch, cylinder-bore barrel and pistol grip stock with rubber 
buttplate, and weighs about 1 % pounds. Its specifications 
and price, and the long established reputation of Winchester 
guns for entire reliability and exceptional shooting qualities, 
make the "Brush” gun worthy of careful consideration by 
any one wanting a trustworthy arm for bird shooting. You 
can easily spend more money for a gun, but you can’t buy 
one at any price that will give you better satisfaction than 
the Winchester "Brush" gun. 
“BRUSH” SHELLS 
If you don’t own a field gun and don’t want to buy one, you 
can get along nicely with your duck or trap gun for bird 
shooting if you will shoot Winchester "Brush” shells. If 
you do, the results will be surprisingly satisfactory, for these 
shells are so loaded that they give a big, even spread of shot 
at from 25 to 30 yards when used in choke-bore guns. 
They don’t lose velocity, penetration or uniformity, and 
make many kills which otherwise would be misses. J ust 
be sure to get Winchester "Brush” shells and you will be 
mightily well pleased with them.

Burnes and Comer, gave the two a chance, but Charles 
was the one to take advantage of it and made good 
with a vengeance.

Montclair Gun Club. 
Montclair, N. J., Oct. 24.—But seven men showed up 
at the traps to-day, many being away on hunting trips. 
The trade was represented by H. L. Brown, of the 
Western Cartridge Co. 
Event 1 was for practice only. 
Event 2 was the seventh leg on the Ballistite gold 
medal, and was won by Palmer with 23 breaks to his 
credit. 
The third event was the third leg on the Du Pont 
trophy, and also was won by Palmer with the same 
score. 
Event 4, a three-man team race, was won by team No. 
2, composed of Messrs. Brown, Bush and Hunt. A 
strong easterly wind, which prevailed at times, had 
something to do with low scores.
