We have decided the Westy Hogan programme is too 
assy for this burg. If there were seventy moneys m- 
eaa of seven we might stand a look-in. The lengthy 
-ogramme each day will scare all but a seasoned shooter, 
id it looks like a 95 per cent, proposition from this dis- 
.nee. The 70 to 90 men will have only their good time, 
ihich, after all, is the main point. 
Lawrence, Mass., has a shoot Labor Day, but the 
rues are solely for resident members. 
South Lancaster’s registered shoot will draw some of 
ie Boston trap experts. 
J C Todd’s score of 94 was the leader at Wednes- 
jy’s Paleface shoot. He had close company, with 
[arden 93, Charles and Hassam 92. 
Thirty-five shooters visited Wellington Saturday, Aug. 
!, for the Portland-Paleface meet. A dozen ladies were 
jt, and everybody had a dandy time. Scores in team 
ice were: Boston 736, Portland 616 for eight men at 
10 targets each. Geo. Hassam was high for Boston 
ith 98; W. G. Hill for Portland with 90. On the pro- 
ramme of 160, Horace Kirkwood broke 156, O. R. 
lickey 152, Hassam 150, Marden 149. Prizes were won 
y C. Thurston and C. F. Jordan, of Portland, Hassam 
id Marden. of the home crowd. A panoramic photo 
as taken of the participants, and is is so very good 
lat everybody will surely want one. 
O. R. Dickey is shooting a clever gait with his os- 
llating forearm hold. It sure looks like an average 
aoster. 
Plymouth Gun Club. 
Plymouth, Mass., Aug. 28.—There may be bigger and 
etter appointed gun club grounds in the country, but 
>r beautiful surroundings the Plymouth, Mass., Gun 
lub bears off the palm. With traps located on Castle 
fill, a mile north of town, the view from the plateau 
lakes shooting a secondary consideration to one of 
rtistic temperament. The wide expanse of water, with 
luxbury and the Miles Standish monument showing 
lainly to the north, and a bird’s eye view of the town 
f Plymouth to the south, was well worth a hill climb 
0 witness. 
; On the occasion of Plymouth’s recent Saturday shoot 
bout ten Palefaces and friends journeyed to the his- 
oric town by special invitation. A boat trip, and a 
rive around town rewarded the early birds, while the 
ustlers made the journey via auto. The programme of 
25 targets was easily carried out over an ancient bi- 
ycle trap, and it proved a happy-go-lucky shoot from 
tart to finish. George Hassam was in a target breaking 
•ame of mind and broke 114. This pleased the home 
rowd, and he carried away a cup as a reward of merit. 
Inly one target separated Kirkwood, Dickey and Clarke 
it second, third and fourth. There were others whom 
ae trap fooled at first, .but who improved in the last 
vents. 
Messrs. Cavicchi, Davidson and Wheeler were the 
ard-workers of the crew, besides the bicyclist in the 
it. Members of the club shot for the regular prizes,

if shooters and their wives, who enjoyed the afternoon’s 
irogramme greatly. The team race of five men in the 
elegraph contest with St. Louis, 100 targets, 18yds. 
landicap, was a fine race, there being three scores of 93, 
0 and an 89, totalling 458 out of 500. There was a 
trong south wind that carried the targets down some 
nd made it easy to overshoot them. The watermelons 
vere taken out of the ice about 5:30 P. M., and were the 
inest seen in this section. Tire way they disappeared 
vas a testimonial to the quality. Mr. Jack French, of 
he Winchester Company, was present, and stayed until 
he finish; also Mr. J. A. Penn and Mr. Charlie Ward 
rom Asheville.

THE TRIGGER-CONTROLLED REPEATER 
HERE is nothing to take your mind off the game if 
you shoot a Winchester Self-Loading Rifle. The 
recoil does the reloading for you, which places the 
complete control of the gun under the trigger 
finger. You can shoot six shots as fast as you can pull 
the trigger and without taking your eye off the sights. 
As this rifle is made with a detachable magazine, you can 
replace an exhausted one with a loaded one in a jiffy 
and continue shooting. No recoil-operated rifle but the 
Winchester offers this advantage. Other desirable and 
distinctive features of this rifle are — a stationary barrel 
with sights attached, and all moving parts enclosed. 
The .351 Caliber, High-Power Cartridge has great killing 
power, making it heavy enough for the largest game. 
Catalogue fully describing this rifle—“The Gun 
That Shoots Through Steel”—sent upon request.

Buchanan, Chamberlain and Webster shot a fine clip 
in the telegraph team match—three 93 scores. 
Fred Kingsbury is getting the gun to the right spot 
and will be one of the hard ones to beat before long. 
Mr. T. Y. Bassell just returned from Virginia, where 
he was spending the past month among old friends. He 
reports a splendid time. 
Mr. A. E. Shatford has just returned from the North 
Channel, having spent the past ten days at Mr. R. O. 
Heikes’ summer hotel with Mr. Cumberland, of Colum' 
bus. The fish stories that Shat brought back are 
corkers, but “Pop” has got the fish up there, and the 
boys are going up to his tournament the latter part of 
September. 
Fred Le Noir just returned from a long trip west, 
and it seemed to agree with him, the way he eats them 
up at the watermelon social. 
J. A. Penn, of Dayton, is a very congenial shooter 
and a good mixer, and he has in some way come into 
possession of a receipt for where to hold, as his scores 
at our grounds are generally up in the high altitudes. 
G. M. Smith and J. H. Smith missed the watermelon, 
having to hurry in to the city before the carving 
took place. 
Frank Hall ran out and took a look, and when a man 
came to buy four guns, Frank made a bee line for a car. 
Jesse Smith shot the pistol a few on Saturday. 
Colonel Barger and Fred Barger were out on the 
pistol range Saturday. 
A number of the boys are going to the Hyde Park 
Gun Club shoot at Cincinnati.
