Boston and Vicinity. 
rs. C. F. Lambert of Buffalo, former Hav- 
residents, said how-de-do and good-bye 
ends last week en route to Maine. This 
day cruise in the Lambert launch around 
of the Kennebec and our good friends 
\dition to enjoy every minute. May their 
.■ grow less. 
er, Sr., was in town for the big military 
cefield, and visited the trade incidentally. 
J. Doell, the Dock Square gunsmith, died 
23, after a lengthy period of ill health, and 
the Hub’s older gun men joins the silent

iled his retirement from the bench. He

The older guard of New England trap shooters will 
regret to note the death of Richard Schaefer, who com¬ 
mitted suicide at Norway, Me., July 21, where he was 
clerking at a hotel. Dick Schaefer was a popular mem¬ 
ber some years ago of W. R. Schaefer & Sons’ gun 
house and since the dissolution of that business bad 
occupied various positions in several cities. The 
younger Schaefer was a skilful shot from boyhood and 
at seventeen years of age entered the limelight through 
fthenomenal shooting at glass balls when the Raymond 
Sportsmen’s Club was located at Medford, Mass. Mr. 
Schaefer left a widow and son, also father and mother. 
W. F. Clarke copped the honors at Wellington a 
week ago Wednesday with a nice 93 in the regular 
events. It was the hottest yet and Old Sol kept pace 
with the powder burners, going them one better as 
a heat producer. Mr. Clarke had a run of 55. This 
was the fifth and final shoot for the Jordan trophies. 
J. C. Todd won the last contest but A. E. Jones nosed 
him out on the three best totals of the five shoots. 
Both were popular wins and the totals follow: E. A. 
Jones, 149; J. C. Todd, 147; C. E. Charles, 140; R. N. 
Burnes, 139; H. Thomas, 135; W. F. Clarke, 126. 
It looks like a big Boston representation at Portland 
for this coming Monday and Tuesday. Fifteen strong 
made the former registered shoot, but twenty or twenty- 
five are booked for this trip The convenient and 
attractive journey, via boat or rail, whichever is pre¬ 
ferred, seems to have taken the crowd and the question 
is not “Are you going?” but “How are you going?” 
Secretary Jordan assures all of a hearty welcome and 
we shouldn’t wonder if this shoot should show the 
record attendance for New England, 1909. 
Cushing Todd made a hurried departure from New- 
■buryport one morn and called to his man, “Bring my 
gun; it’s Wellington day and I almost forgot it” In 
the train he found the case contained his old pump 
gun instead of the 34-inch reliable. A score of 90, and 
: consequent tie with Dickey, turned the joke on the 
shooter, as he-has been a little off form for a few weeks 
with the long gun. Moral: net somcuuuj else select 
the weapon. 
W. S. Ripley, Jr., a popular Wakefield rifle expert, 
joined the ranks of the benedicts Saturday last, leading 
Miss Eva M. Gowing to the altar in the presence of 
a large number of relatives and friends. 
In Geo. Hassam’s opinion, “It is all very well to 
shoot 90 per cent, at home, but my advice is don’t 
travel from home unless you can shoot 97 at the 
very least.” 
The alluring ball game thinned the ranks of the 
trap shooters last Saturday and a few of the erstwhile 
fans were Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Bryant, Geo. Hunter, 
Charlie Clapp, Roy Faye, Galen Woodruff, Will and 
Horace Kirkwood. 
L. Lewis and A. Neider were the match winners at 
the Walnut Hill rifle range July’s last Saturday, the 
former putting in a strong 90 at 200 yards. 
The Boston Globe credits David S. Roberts, 68 years 
young, of Farmington, N. H., with a record as sports¬ 
man, horseman, hunter and farmer which it would be 
difficult to match among men of his age in New Eng¬ 
land. His specialty with the gun is fox hunting and 
he knows the ways of Reynard like a book Mr. 
Roberts has seldom failed to shoot a fox on his birth¬ 
day and he has the record of bringing in fifteen toxes 
on as many successful trips with his gun. He is ready 
to match his skill at shooting with that of the newer 
generation. 
Each day brought forth amazing records for the rifle¬ 
men congregated at the Bay State Military Association 
. range at Wakefield the past week. The cream of the 
uniformed cracks were all present and the favorable 
warm weather added to the excellent form shown by 
the contestants resulted in brilliant feats of marks¬ 
manship in all the events. Governor’s Day was suitably 
celebrated with the various dignitaries present and the 
entire week was one big show of the military man. 
Colonels C. W. Dimick of Lowell and J. G. Ewing 
of Wilmington were prominent visitors at Wakefield’s 
rifle fete. 
Mr. W. H. Smith of Buffalo sampled Wellington 
conditions last Saturday and the boys assembled re¬ 
gretted there were not more Palefaces out to meet the 
Buffalo-Audubon member on his impromptu visit. Mr. 
Smith took a strange pump with a long stock, never¬ 
theless, and blew the saucers into dust. Twenty-four 
out of the last twenty-five was easy. 
District Chief Fox, the commanding officer of our 
West End fire-fighters, has gone to the Cape for a two 
weeks’ vacation, accompanied with the rod and reel he 
to well knows how to use. 
Geo. Hassam led at the Paleface matinee shoot July 
31. About a dozen took part in easy fashion and the 
delightful cool day was a glorious contrast to the torrid 
Friday when the thermometer registered 96. Programme 
was 125 targets and the winner’s scores totaled 112. 
Bert Powel ran second with 111, losing out in the last 
25; Mrs. Park and Marden tied on 108; J. C. Todd, 98; 
J. Fraser, 75. Others who shot at 100 were Langstroth 
80, Freeman 67, H. Fraser 61. The team match for 
prizes was close, Powel, Mrs. Park and H Fraser 
winning by two targets on 120. 
If you haven’t seen the new Winchester banger, 
better look up your sporting goods house and secure 
one before they are gone. Everybody considers the 
pair of grouse as perfectly pictured and in such natural 
colors as to be a work of art. 
Newmanstown Tournament. 
Lancaster, Pa., July 24.—Newmanstown, Pa., is an 
excellent field, one of the beauties of central Pennsyl¬ 
vania. The wind was exceedingly high, with results 
which you will notice by looking over the scores. 
Geo. W. Hansell, the popular amateur, of Lebanon, 
Pa., was high gun for the day. 
Lee Wertz, of the Hercules Gun Club, of Temple, 
Pa., was second high gun with 132 breaks. 
Mr. Menzel was third high gun with 128 breaks, with 
150 possible targets. Miller and Coldren tied with 116 
breaks. 
Adams shot a pretty good clip to-day, breaking 127. 
Ed. is improving again. 
Bowers, of Blandon, Pa., paid us a visit and shot 
well through the programme. 
Shanaman slipped a little below his average to-day. 
Too many ladies on the grounds spying his score. 
Miss Rieker, of Lancaster, Pa., the popular lady live- 
bird shot, shot through six events. The spectators 
admired her spirit. 
Mr. Worth fell below his average to-day. He far ex¬ 
ceeded this score at Temple, Pa., a week ago. 
No straights were made in any but the 10-target 
events, and those were few. Entirely too much wind. 
Targets were thrown about 50yds.; 2785 targets were 
thrown. 
Uncle Tom was busy hustling his interests among the 
shooters. 
This was Mr. Sked’s first appearance, and everybody 
welcomed him. 
'A. A. Fink, of Reading, had charge of the office. 
Secretary F. S. Rader had an accident early during the 
day. The trap hit him in the face. He had to have 
the gash in his face sewed up by the doctor. He is 
improving. 
Dan E. Wegman arrived in the third event, and shot 
the rest of the programme. 
Twelve shooters shot through the programme of 150 
targets.

Dr. E. E. Giltner, Sec’y. 
Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
Dayton, Ky., July 25.—Miss Altherr was high ama¬ 
teur with 142 out of 150; Frank Alkire, second, 139; 
W. Link, third, 134. 
Ralph Trimble, professional, and Miss Frances 
Altherr tied for high average. 
This was the second Squier money-back shoot held 
by this club, and although twenty-eight shooters par¬ 
ticipated, there should have been at least fifty. The 
Luther Squier system is without a doubt the greatest 
wrinkle ever devised for a tournament, and will no 
doubt be more popular in the future than it has been 
in the past.

Redfield Gun Club Tournament.

112 respectively. . .
