JERSEY CITY. N. Jl. 
Sam Lovel's Boy. 
By Rowland E. Robinson. Price, $1.25. 
Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danyis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Lovel and 
Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books 
in the series, and the boy is young Sam, their son, who 
grows up under the tuition of the coterie of friends that 
we know so well, becomes a man just at the time of the 
Civil War, and carries a musket in defence of what he 
believes to be the right.

The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., Jan. S.—With the regulars all away, just 
four shooters were present at the first Saturday Paleface 
shoot, and the program was run off in double-quick time. 
W. F. Clarke was easily amateur leader, with Jack Brin- 
ley the only professional, just a target too good for him. 
On the aded target race Gov.-Gen. Hassam was the 
final leader, his 8-target handicap being too much for 
the rest to overcome. Scores:

Jan. 5.—The first January shoot of the Palefaces was 
held to-day and the unsettled weather prevented a large 
attendance, but those that did show up were treated to 
the best kincj of an afternoon’s entertainment. 
The program called for 100 targets, with prizes for high 
average amateur and high score, with added target han¬ 
dicap, which made things interesting for all. Frank with 
his 88, put the high average in his game sack, but one 
Charlie Marden gave him a good rub with his last 34 out 
of 35, but ended with a target too little. On the added 
target race Charlie was again a target off, as Jones with 
a handicap of 24 nosed him out of the honor position.

Dec. 31.—The Palefaces ended the year 1909 in a blaze 
of glory by holding on their grounds at Wellington, 
Mass., one of the nicest all-day shoots imaginable, at 
which were assembled New England’s best crackerjacks, 
as well as a goodly bunch of professionals from New 
York and vicinity, which made a gathering that would 
be hard to beat from all standpoints. 
The program called for 175 targets, arranged so that 
every shooter secured his fill and was given a fair 
chance to secure something as a souvenir. 
H. Rule somewhat surprised the talent and showed a 
clean pair of heels to the entire bunch, and after taking 
the lead, relinquished only once to again secure it and 
shoot out the program with a dandy 40 straight. Frank 
also had aspirations that loomed up pretty well, and 
would have squeezed out the win if those two events. 
Nos. 6 and 7, could be shot over again. 
Jim McArdle and ’Gene Griffiths looked natural and 
gave evidence of not losing any of their old cunning as 
the scores will show 160 and 163 respectively, being good 
enough to win under anything hut unordinary con¬ 
ditions. 
On the professional average for a special trophy, Jack 
Fanning and Hank Stevens tied, though Hank had to 
do the last 20 straight to do* it. As the tie was settled 
mutually, we did not have the pleasure of seeing the 
shoot-off we expected, which was certainly missed. 
The added target race gave plenty of chance for the 
lesser expert, and some twenty-two shooters entered for 
the twelve prizes, which ranged from the largest to the 
smallest sized cups. As they were some of the prettiest 
of designs that the club has ever given, it was no small 
wonder that every contestant strived his best to secure 
one. At the finish four shooters, were tied for the honor 
and a shoot-off was necessary, with the result that Hodges 
took first, Charles second, Steele third and Marden 
fourth, the latter not being able to stay to the shoot-off, 
and having to be content with the last choice. Frank, 
Kawop and Cole tied for the next three positions, which 
were adjusted with silver shot. Burgess alone in the 
eighth place. Two scratch men came in 9 and 10, the 
home shooter having the advantage on the shoot-off, 
though a very small one. Clarke neatly annexed the 
eleventh prize, though only after an uphill task. Walter 
Hinds and Griff tied on the last, with Hinds having 
the long end on the toss. Scores:
