Keep in mind the Westy Hogan tournament at At¬

vouchsafed to mortals here below.

Under date of Aug. 24, Mr. Frank E. Butler writes us 
as follows: “Here are a few of the prizes that will 
contested for at the Westy Hogan shoot: General 
teur average, solid gold diamond fob; Westy Hogan 
champiofi, first, solid gold diamond fob; next nine 
places, solid gold fobs. Dupont trophy, silver pitcher 
for the longest run; Westy Hogan double championship 
of the world, 50 pairs, entrance price of targets; this is 
for the Young’s Hotel trophy, valued at $100. There are 
so many other prizes that they are too numerous to 
mention. In addition, you must remember that there is 
one cent for every target for average money. This will 
amount to about $1000. Remember that if you attend 
this shoot that every Westy Hogan is working to make 
your trip a pleasant one. The highest ambition of the 
Westy Hogans is to send you home feeling that you 
will attend again next year. Also the Seaside Hotel has 
donated a trophy to be given for the second general 
high average. The Chalfonte Hotel has also donated a 
trophy to be shot off at 25 targets by the ten low average 
men. There will be a third prize added to the Westy 
Hogan double championship. These prizes will be shot 
for on the same conditions as all the others.”

Numerous friends of Capt. A. W. Money joined in 
presenting him with a testimonial of esteem. He has 
retired from the manufacture of powder, and goes to 
England on Sept. 8. A beautiful sterling silver tea set 
was selected, and the presentation of it was made at a 
dinner given in his honor, at the Hotel Lafayette, New 
York, on the evening of Aug. 28, at which a number 
of his intimate friends were present. This function was 
but a small index to the large place the noble Captain 
holds in the hearts of his American friends.

Boston and Vicinity. 
There has been a noticeable increase the past fortnight 
in the granting of gunning licenses, as it saves a lot or 
trouble to have one in your pocken when the game 
warden happens around. Every Massachusetts game 
shooter must secure one from the clerk of the city or 
town in which he resides. Already there have been 
some unlucky mortals who could not show the paper at 
the proper time and were thereupon fined. 
Charles F. Marden entertains a number of friends at 
his shore camp over Labor Day. It is to be chowder 
and lobsters three times a day, with dish washers drawn

His extended Maine vacation is providing the fashion¬ 
able coat of tan. 
The Portland party seemingly enjoyed their Boston 
visit last Saturday if words count for anything. in= 
bond of sympathy between Portland and Paleface mem¬ 
bers grows stronger as the meetings increase in number, 
and the feeling is good to note. Another Portland shoot 
is talked of. Spread the good news. 
About a dozen Bostonians had a fine time at the 
Plymouth shoot Aug. 21. It isn’t often a party can 
enjoy a lovely boat trip, a sight-seeing drive ana a 
dandy shoot on new grounds all in the one day. the 
joke was on the jehu who took the crowd to a desertea 
rifle range as the one and only gunning club he knew. 
The real club was equal distance the other side of town. 
Dead, Shot Sibley and Du Pont Dickey divided the 
charges, and the driver smiled once more. rieoige 
Plassam had his gun trained to break 114 out of the 12 
targets, some rotating and some not from the magautrap. 
Horace was second, 168; Dickey third, 107; Clarke 
fourth, 106. A large crowd of spectators were present 
and it was an out-of-the-ordinary shoot, therefore enjoy¬ 
able.
