FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Nov. 14, 1908. 
The Palefaces. 
Boston, Nov. 4.— The first shoot after the closing of 
the game season was held on the Paleface grounds to¬ 
day, a small number of the regulars attending. 
The cortditions could hardly have been worse, a stiff 
southerly breeze playing havoc with all angles, and 
forcing trapper boys to the limit to get even a decent 
target. 
O. R. Dickey was one of the bright lights, tying for 
high average and continuing his goodwork in the 
November cup contest with the result that a possible 
was annexed on his side of the ledger. 
Todd, Sibley and Frank also made the full count in 
the November cup, but were somewhat out of it in the 
average race. 
The deciding match on the Lewis trophy was shot 
though it was known beforehand that conditions would 
not let any one shoot 96 per cent., which it was neces¬ 
sary to do to dislodge Burnes, so it is now only a past 
recollection, and the cup will adorn the den of one of 
Massachusetts’ most enthusiastic sportsmen.

Oct. 28.—To-day’s shoot for the Massachusetts cham¬ 
pionship brought forth a new holder, one Albert Nick¬ 
erson, of the Norfolk Country Club tuning up to 90 
per cent., and walking away with it with a good 5-target 
lead. That it was a well-earned victory goes without 
saying, as he continued his work during the entire after¬ 
noon, and walked away with high average, leading 
Charles, the second place holder, some 5 targets in the 
rear. 
Most of the interest in the cup matches lay in the 
Powers, Burnes and Charles making a stand that was 
worth a lot to witness, with Bobby having decidedly the 
better on the argument, though Charles re-entered many 
times in his efforts to make up lost ground. With the 
finish in sight, 
some 1 
lively 
work is 
due, 
and a 
battle 
royal is sure 
to 
take place.

Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Nov. 8.—Herewith find scores of 
the Hudson Gun Club bi-monthly shoot, held to-day. 
Event No. 3 was the Western Cartridge Co. trophy 
shoot, and Williams, shooting from 20yd. mark, was high 
with 23, tying Sigler, who stood at 18yds. Williams and 
Putney were also the winners in the three “help-your- 
neighbor” team matches that were shot, with a 20 straight, 
a 19 and an 18 to their credit. 
Dr. Moeller was a visitor at the grounds, too. for the 
first time to-day. We were all pleased to see him, and 
hope that he will not forget to call again. He is always 
welcome. 
Dr. O’Brien, Burlington, Whitley, Brown and Putney 
all shot strange guns to-day, their own breaking down 
with broken springs, ejectors failing to work, rr their 
single triggers failing to act properly. The gunsmiths 
will have an extra force working overtime next week 
to put them in 
shape for the opening 
of 
the 
game 
season.

Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, O., Oct. 31.— Saturday afternoon was one 
of the coolest afternoons that shooters have had to con¬ 
tend with this fall. However, a very nice little crowd of 
shooters found their way to the club grounds to enjoy 
an afternoon of practice, in view of the near approach 
of the game season, which opens in Ohio on Nov. 15. 
John R. Taylor came through from West Virginia, 
and with his easy way of hitting them broke the first 
75 straight, when Bill Weinman dropped in and asked 
him what dog he was going to use for quail shooting. 
John had just called pull, and at the same time told Bill 
the “red setter,” and forgot to hold where the bird was. 
Billy talked him out of two more before the hundred were 
finished. 
Mr. Ward, of Asheville. O., was a guest of the club, 
and did well with the use of a strange gun. 
Wm. Webster, Shatford, Weinman, did nice shooting. 
Dr. J. A. Van Fossen leaves on Election Day for 
Alabama to have a little rest and take a look at some 
of the old-fashioned wild turkeys and the quail shooting 
is very fine 
also in the vicinity in which 
he 
is 
going. 
The boys all 
wish him a pleasant trip 
and 
good luck.
