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 ILyOvel 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 defense of what he 
believes to be the right.

The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., Feb. 2.— The first shoot on the Pale- 
face grounds on the February" calendar was held to-day*, 
and like its predecessors of late, it was well attended. 
Some fifteen shooters in all participated in the 100-target 
program, and the high class work of the majority was 
a treat to look at. . _ , 
The club’s president, together with Henry Edgarton,. 
of Willimantic, Conn., kept things booming to the tune 
of 95 per cent., and at that were only heading Geo. 
Darton a target. As pretty a high average contest as 
was ever seen was the universal verdict, and it certainly 
put every one in a good humor, as the shooting con¬ 
tinued till the last moment possible, or just in time to 
take a hop, skip and a jump for the 5:05 train. 
While the fight in the average line was going on, there 
was just a wee bit of excitement in the added target match 
with six shooters all in the high possible class. In 
this event one of the newest Massachusetts enthusiasts. 
W R Robbins, of Beverly, delivered the goods in the 
tie' with a 24 out of the 25, leading his nearest competitor 
a target, and annexing his first win of his trapshooting 
career. Scores:

Buffalo Audubon Gun Club. 
Buffalo, N. Y., Feb. 5 .—Lambert won second leg on 
the Sidway trophy with 55 out of first 60. lid. Cox and. 
C. S. Sidway were next high with 53 each not bad 
sliobting in a stiff breeze with mercury nearly zero. 
Imhoff is a comer; his two 17s and 16 look good for a 
beginner. 
Talcott’s automatic did not seem to find the spot as 
well as usual." Seymour should have come in time to 
shoot the whole programme; 38 out of 40 is pretty fair, 
thank you. , , , , 
The Sidway brothers each dropped an even dozen. 
F. S. Wright, State champion and member, was- not 
quite in his usual form.

Fred R. Long, Sec’y. 
Walerfown Gun Club. 
Watertown, Mass., Feb. 5. —Twelve shooters, repre¬ 
senting the few Boston trapshooting clubs, made the 
Watertown grounds the headquarters for a Saturday half 
holiday pleasure, and with the thermometer near the 
zero mark found the conditions anything but the best 
for this sport. 
However, when this class of sportsmen get together, 
the good times are just the same, and we fully believe 
that it would be hard to find a more enjoyable afternoon 
than the one of to-day. 
Geo. Hassam, Guvnor-General of the Palefaces, was the 
man of the hour, his 70 out of the 75 being the neatest 
kind of shooting, and the Candy Kid was surely con¬ 
gratulated by his many friends for such a sterling per¬ 
formance in the face of such difficult conditions. 
Next in line for second average was Cole with 63, a 
dandy score, but not quite good enough to win; but
