The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., Jan. 12. —Just fourteen shooters took 
the 1:47 train for the Paleface shooting grounds to-day 
and vied with each other for some six events, all of 
which were replete with good features and high and 
low scores. 
At the start it certainly looked as though the candy 
kid this time was to be one Frank, who annexed as two 
pretty 15s as it is possible to get, but the 20-bird events 
seemed to have a special grudge against him, and he 
had to relinquish the lead to the club’s-secretary. 
President Charles also proved a most dangerous 
aspirant for the premier honors of the afternoon, his 
only bad event of the program being the last, which 
can hardly be laid to his door, as his gun at that time 
failed to do its usual stunt, and Charlie had to finish 
with it in its broken condition or use some other 
weapon. 
Considerable rivalry was in evidence among the pro¬ 
fessionals, with the inimitable Sibley as the final leader 
with Geo. Darton next in line. 
In the team match, Kirkwood and Morse had things 
all their own way, a handicap of 12 targets being too 
much the way Morse was shooting: but nothing pleases 
a trapshooting crank so much as to tip the slate. The 
other six teams shot for all they were worth to over¬ 
come the lead of the leaders, but Dickey and Higginson 
came the closest with 95; Marden and Hassam being 
next in line with 93. Scores:

Passaic County Gun Club. 
Paterson, N. J., Jan. 15.— The team match with the 
North Caldwell Gun Club was called off to-day, on 
account of the great snowstorm, which was raging all 
day Friday and early to-day. The boys from Caldwell 
thought it impossible to get here. The match will take 
place next Saturday, Jan. 22, at Clifton, if the weather 
is favorable. Jack Fanning and H. L. Brown were here 
and were loud in their praise of our new grounds. We 
expect to install a new automatic trap as soon as the 
weather is favorable, and then we shall be second to 
none in regards 
to grounds 
and 
equipment.

Small-Bores. 
Port Richmond, N. Y. — Editor Forest and Stream: 
Although not in the aged class, I can claim some ex¬ 
perience of shotguns and shotgun shooting. I own 
trap guns of 12, 16 and 20 gauge. All of them I have 
tried out afield and at trap with due allowances for 
differences of load and boring, and while for years I 
have been a persistent “12-gauge man,” I have arrived 
now at the conclusion that for ordinary day-in-and-out 
shooting the 20-gauge is the most of all satisfactory. 
As a matter of fact, my father bought the 20-gauge for 
my son, who is nine years old, but I found it so 
perfectly satisfying that I use it when he allows me to 
do so. It shoots like possessed; and rabbits and wood¬ 
cock are elected to places in my game pockets with 
regularity and ease. 
Even the nine-lived house cat, always encountered in 
woods, falls dead to the snap of the vicious little 20- 
gauge at fifty to sixty yards distance. At thirty yards 
my stable-boy throws clay pigeons into the air and the 
2C-gauge puffs them into black smoke. It is light, too, 
so light that I make successful one-hand shots with it 
when, beating the briars with a stick in my left hand. 
Bonny bounds out of his nest. Some day I shall try 
it on small ducks and perhaps I shall kill an old 
“honker” with it. 
To sum up in slang of the day, I love my 12 and 
my 16—but, oh! you 20. •>* - Sidney Edwards. 
The Only Practical One=Trigger 
The Hunter One-Trigger makes the superiority of Smith Guns more pronounced than 
ever. It is the ONLY perfect, non-frictional, practical one-trigger ever produced. Smith 
Guns, equipped with the Hunter One-Trigger, are unequalled for any kind of shooting—field, 
duck or trap—and they hold the world’s record. 
SMITH GUNS 
Hunter One-Trigger 
The Hunter One-Trigger construction absolutely prevents balking or doubling. It gives 
exactly the same control over the firing possessed by a two-trigger gun, with the greater speed, 
accuracy and convenience of one-trigger. 
There is already an enormous demand for the new 20 Gauge Smith Gun —weight 5 % 
to l lbs., and a little beauty. If you do not know about it, be sure and write.

Sam Lovel's Boy. 
By Rowland E. Robinson. Price, $1.25. 
Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danvis 
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.
