FOREST AND STREAM

Blandford led the way to the dining' room, where a 
hot supper was served. Good fellowship reigned 
supreme. 
Bernard Waters. 
Boston and Vicinity. 
Roy Jlodsdon got his share of birds this fall, notwith¬ 
standing the short season. Roy is a good all-round shot, 
and if he had the time to follow the sport of trapshooting 
he would make the “bunch” hustle. 
O. R. Dickey and Frank Hilliard were the guests of 
Dr. C. G. Weld, at the Kennel Club traps recently, and 1 
anybody conversant with the Doctor’s success as an enter¬ 
tainer, needs little assurance that the party enjoyed their 
visit. Some low scores were made under the tower 
arrangement, where the host was inhospitable for once 
and defeated his guests at this style of shooting. 
The Harvard boys shoot a sociable match with the 
Palefaces at Wellington, Dec. 12. 
Boston’s big retail houses complain of the slump in 
retail trade the first of this month. With the summary 
closing of the partridge season the demand for gun 
goods petered out promptly. 
Geo. Clark, of the B. A. A., secured another fine 
moose head this year in the northern country. 
Bobby Burns has returned from his game trip, and re¬ 
ports a fine time, also considerable success. Bobby has 
the Lewis cup practically cinched at the Paleface grounds. 
Tuesday evenings are the regular nights at the Boston 
Revolver Club. Visiting rifle, revolver and pistol cranks 
receive a cordial welcome from all the members. The 
Lynn Club has started the season, and rival team matches 
are a winter possibility. 
Marblehead, Winthrop, Lawrence, E. Lexington and 
Clarendon Hills all'have Thanksgiving programmes out, 
so the Bostonian looking for a trap shoot on the hobdav 
can take his choice. The morning hours show the best 
crowd in this vicinity, for “all the comforts of home.” 
including turkey and fixings, prove too attractive in the 
afternoon. 
There is no truth in the statement printed by a Boston 
daily paper that the Eastern Handicap would again be 
held in Boston. The city of Buffalo wants it badly, and 
is likely to get it, from all accounts. 
This tale of a duck shooting stand, one- of the many 
which dot the shores of Massachusetts, is too good 
to keep, besides showing a rather novel method for the 
testing of a gun. A visiting youngster with a new 
autoloader, in boasting of its penetration, made a swee_p- 
ing statement that “it would kill at 100yds.” The skeptic, 
an old Cape shooter, offered his live decoy for a pene¬ 
tration pad at 100yds. at the price of 50 cents per. Five 
half dollars were squandered with nary a kill at the 
excessive distance, though a single pellet actually drew 
blood. And at 60yds., so the story goes, the gun put 
shot through a barrel-head, which ought to satisfy any 
reasonable duck hunter. 
The Remington poster “Redheads Coming In,” is an 
admirable pne for framing. The advertising matter can 
be trimmed and leave a beautiful picture 16 by 20 inches, 
exclusive of a two-inch mat. Try it. 
Some funny questions are asked by the novice in the 
gun world, and in view of the profuse and complete adver¬ 
tising by the various interested companies, ignorance, on 
certain subjects would seem inexcusable if the party can 
but read. This purchaser on being shown .22cal. rifles, 
by request, innocently inquired, “if the .22 was suitable 
for moose.” The clerk smothered a smile, but stacked 
the mouse (merely the change of one letter) gun and 
exhibited some bigger bores. 
Dr. Weld is receiving congratulations at present. An¬ 
other new motor yacht being built in Eau Gallie, Fla., 
is now ready for launching. The new boat, which is a 
model of its class, will afford much pleasure to the 
fortunate sportsmen invited to partake of its delights. 
Intercollegiate Championship. 
New Haven, Conn., Nov. 21.— The annual inter¬ 
collegiate championship contest, held at New Haven, 
Conn., to-day had four entrants. The conditions were 
five men to a team, 100 targets per man. This was Yale’s 
fourth consecutive championship victory. There were 
favorable weather conditions. 
For the individual championship Capt. Thaw and 
Hebard, both of Yale, tied on 89. In the shoot-off, Thaw 
won. Scores:

Marine and Field Club. 
Bay Ridge, L. I., Nov. 21. —There was a small at¬ 
tendance, the Yale-Harvard football game being a greater 
counter attraction to many members. Three of the regu¬ 
lar contestants, however, shot through the programme, 
Mr. Davol being easily in the lead in the totals of the 
day’s doings. Scores:

New York Athletic Club. 
a 
Travers Island, N. Y., Nov. 21.—Conditions for shoot¬ 
ing to-day couldn’t _ have been better, and high scores 
were the rule. An interesting and varied programme of 
nine events were run off. Elias was high gun, and he 
certainly did great work, breaking 165 out of 175 targets 
shot at. 
First event, practice: Elias, Pelham and Schauffler 
tied at 23. 
Second event, November cup: Leg won by Schauffler 
after tie with Lenane. 
Third event, Sauer gun: Leg won by Elias after tie 
with Hibbard. 
Fourth event, Stoll trophy: Leg won by Kuchler after 
tie with Thomson. 
Fifth event, trophy shoot: Won by Schauffler. 
Sixth event, trophy shoot: won by Owen after two 
shoot-offs with Schauffler. 
Seventh event, trophy shoot: Won by Elias with full 
score from scratch. 
Eighth event, trophy shoot, team pick-up: Won by 
Pelham and Billings with full score. 
Ninth event, trophy shoot, team pick-up, miss-and-out: 
Won by Pelham and Billings. 
A two-day tournament will be held by the club on 
Dec. 17 and 18, the first day, a preliminary, merchandise 
prizes, and the second day, the amateur championship, 
100 targets. Circulars giving full information will be 
ready in a few days.

Hud son Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J.. Nov. 22. — The Hudson Cun Club 
Fnd a splendid dav for its regular bi-monthly shoot on 
Nov. 22, and a good number of the members turned out 
to avail themselves of the change to enjoy their favorite 
pasiime. 
The day was verv pleasant with an absence of wind 
and the sun hid behind the clouds, made conditions 
almost perfect for good scores, of which there were very 
few. 
Ti-» club trophy, event, No. 1, was won by H. Pape, 
breaking 20 and scoring 6 points, thereby giving him 
a leg on the same: No. 4, was shot from the 24yd. mark, 
and the scores of Putney and Williams are very creditable 
for men who shoot never better than 80 per cent. 
The next shoot of this club will be held on Dec. 6, 
and to reach the grounds take the Turnpike car from 
Newark, or the P. R. R. ferry at Jersey City to the 
Hackensack River; then walk north along the dike to 
the club house, where everybody is always welcome.

The P&lefaces. 
Boston, Mass., Nov. 21.— Just a select few shooters 
took the 1:47 train for Wellington to-day, and spent one 
of those enjoyable afternoons where point of numbers 
carries no weight and enthusiasm is at the top round 
of the ladder. 
The weather, being somewhat off color, kept away a 
number, and the thoughts of next Tuesday’s annual 
turkey hunt kept away a few more; but the shooting 
was incessant, and the number of shots fired was as¬ 
tonishing for so small a gathering. 
Of course, the team race was the fun producer. With 
four teams in it, no end of amusement was in sight, 
especially in the combinations drawn. 
The Hassam-Todd team, however, took the lead at the 
start, and held it, much to the discomfiture of the 
others, whose efforts were in vain, as to catching up 
with opportunity in plenty, one team taking for its last 
chance the securing of 33 out of 40 to win, but had to 
be satisfied with 31, or just a target less than a tie. 
The Frank and Herbert team were the dark horses, 
Herbert shooting above the average, but his partner 
was unequal for the necessary number to win, though 
team shooting is usually Frank’s strong point. 
The November cup race found four full scores, making 
three ties to be shot off next trip.

Montclair Gun Club. 
Montclair, N. J., Nov. 21. —Possibly owing to the 
Harvard-Yale football game and the fact that many of the 
club members are away on hunting trips, but five men 
participated in to-day’s shoot. 
Frank Butler, of the U. M. C. Co., an ever welcome 
guest at the Montclair Gun Club, was present and shot 
along. None of those present were in very good form, 
although weather conditions were quite favorable.
