A. H. Sheppard, Sec’y. 
Boston and Vicinity. 
Good reports of this year’s game supply are coming 
1 . and, conditions having been so favorable, the know- 
lg ones are looking for some good shooting notwith- 
randmg the very short season. 
Chatham and Sandwich gunners have had good sport 
ith beach birds since the first of the month. The 
ruth shore has been in years past the favored hunting 
rounds for plover and yellowleg. the old Chatham 
each Hotel catering to gunners old and young. Since 
re hotel was given up by the Eldredges, there has 
een less hunting, and the birds have had a rest. This 
ear the toothsome birds seem more numerous, and 
ags have been made approaching old-time figures. An 
normous flight was reported around Inswich on the 
orth shore and the Johnnies-on-the-spot fared well. 
John Bell is spending some August davs at Pine 
'oint. Me., where he is enjoying sport with a 20-bore 
love my twelve, but oh! you twenty. 
Several trade visitors found Boston a cool haven the 
ast week. Haze Keller, Jr., of the Hunter Arms Co 
;as taking numerous orders, and O. E. Stull, of the 
laker Gun Co., was showing the Baker single trap 
“ n - J- S. Fanning, of Dupont fame, and F. E. Wilkin, 
f the U. M. C. Co., struck town the same day, the 
'v- ei L r J ! P ortIri S' some improvement with the sore optic 
-hich housed him in a hospital for three long weary 
Charlie Marden dropped off at the beach from the 
'ortland shoot, and had seventeen summer yellowlegs 
fithin an hour. All in knowing how! 
G. O. Higgins, of Hingham, Mass., one of the older 
eneration of sportsmen, came to town last week hale 
nd hearty. Seventy years young, Mr. Higgins still 
lakes his annual fall trip to ’Squam for wildfowl, and 
an still shoot with the best of them. He has shot 
ince a boy in knee trousers, his father carefully in¬ 
ducting him in the handling of both gun and boat, 
hich he enjoys to this day. 
The annual merchandise shoot of the Palefaces is 
lated for Oct. 9. The prizes are all donated by Pale- 
ice members, and they usually are so plenty nobody 
oes away empty-handed. Mark the date in red ink. 
Quite a party of Boston ladies attended the Portland 
hoot and enjoyed the whole programme so well they 
re asking when the next Maine shoot comes off. The 
eak s Island visit of Monday night proved a red letter 
ccasion particularly that part where Haze and Horace 
ntered the free-for-all on donkeys. Haze won but the 
pectators had the most fun, Horace says. The merry- 
o-round and the roller skating rink were popular with 
he crowd, though hitting the nigger babies was voted 
ome sport. The ladies ready to go again are Mesdames 
'-dgerton, Clark, Cole, Hassam, Marden, Sibley and 
jurnes. 
The Topperwein date at Wellington is now decisive 
nnounced as Sept. 25, and the boys are going to wo 
ip a big crowd of spectators for these wonderful artis 
Aug. 28 is now confidently expected to bring a croi 
>1 shooters and friends to Wellington. Some Portia 
nembers and their wives will join, and given go 
leather, the Palefaces will do the rest. 
Portland press devoted columns of space to t 
ecent Maine State shoot, illustrating generously Po 
and and Boston shooters, also the gun club grourn 
his helps the game wonderfully. 
The Whitman shoot was too close to the Portia 
.* to draw Boston shooters, so many of the latl 
laving left or were on the point of leaving for t 
’■Kger affair. Nevertheless, twenty-five shooters gather
