The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., Sept. 25.—From 200 to 250 interested 
spectators welcomed Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Topperwein 
to the Paleface grounds on Sept. 25, and thoroughly en¬ 
joyed the 40-minute exhibition held by these clever 
artists. Beginning with their revolver work and end¬ 
ing with the Topperwein Indian head specialty, the 
limited time was replete with the nicest and best work 
of this sort which the majorityof the spectators had ever 
witnessed, and it is safe to say that a royal attendance 
awaits them if another visit is favored us in some 
future years. 
In the regular trapshooting events, Mrs. Topperwein 
proved herself the expert that she is, and easily made 
the masculine contestants sit up and take notice with 
her average of .931. But for an unfortunate 20 targets 
where 3 losses were chalked up against her there is no 
doubt but that high general average would have been 
hers. 
Second amateur average was taken care of by the 
“Man from up there” (Newburyport), and a nearly 90 
per cent, was a good piece of work with the targets as 
they were, good, but not the best. Bert Powel came 
next in line, just one target ahead of Charles, who 
copped the last honor average by a hair over Charlie 
Marden, whose hustling, etc., prevented the usual good 
work. 
In the professional line, Mrs. Topperwein with 163 
led the van, with Hank Stevens 3 targets less, and 
Murray Ballou for third with 156. 
The 100-target race developed into a race of the highest 
order, with Chapman shooting a little bit beyond the 
rest. For the first time in many moons a scratch man 
got into the honor position in a handicap match, and the 
handicaps showed that the new revision was a great 
improvement over the previous arrangement. 
With first place settled, Daggett and Kirkwood tied 
for second and third, but with the latter’s withdrawal 
from the prize lists, third was won by Temple, one tar¬ 
get less. The winner of fourth in this match, how¬ 
ever, was where the crowd felt good, and Hallam was 
warmly congratulated by the entire attendance. The 
special for low on the programme was won by W. 
Remick, who surely was way off in color and usually is 
one of the Rye Gun Club’s high liners. The pro¬ 
gramme totalled 175 targets. Scores:

FOREST AND STREAM 
[Oct. 
1909. 
back on his second season in trapshooting season as a 
most successful one. 
Walter Hatch was the only Amesbury shooter present. 
He said “Never again” would he miss seeing the Top- 
perweins, and Walt, knows good shooting. 
Walter Remick, A. M. Remick and F. Burke were 
right from the coot grounds, and all gave good accounts 
of themselves under the strange conditions. Walter car- 
r>td home a souvenir for shooting through the pro¬ 
gramme, and Burke ended up well in the 100-target 
match. 
Charlie Marden could only get out at the last minute 
and had to start the programme on the minute of reach¬ 
ing the grounds, and never quite struck a Marden streak, 
Charlie’s last shoot, Aug. 28, of 94 per cent., is still in 
the minds of all the Palefaces. 
Geo. Hall and Dr. Russell represented the Lawrence 
Club. Neither quite came up to expectations, though at 
the finish they were well up. Dr. Russell is waiting for 
his new single barrel, which he hopes will bring with it 
90 and 95 per cent.; but it is not quite due yet. They 
state that quite a delegation intend coming to the Pale¬ 
face merchandise shoot on Oct. 9. 
Fred Daggett made his first appearance since spring, 
and as usual came near bursting the slate. One thing 
sure, Fred with a 12-target handicap, is never looked 
upon as a dark horse. 
The Marblehead contingent—Dufar, Sweet, Hooper 
and Chapman—arrived late, but entered into the 100- 
target race with a vim. Chapman easily held the lead 
from start to finish, and his win was certain a deserved 
one, and the result of good shooting. 
President Conner was busy giving information about 
Paleface shoot, Oct. 9. While all Palefaces have not 
been heard from yet, the list of 60 prizes will surely be 
filled; $150 in prizes is the amount desired by the of¬ 
ficers, and already the majority of this has been received. 
H. E. Tuttle, from Concord, was in it from start to 
finish, and kept in the swim with the best. He had one 
run of 70 out of 80, which was good for a first try. 
Vice Governor-General Muldown ended early with 92 
in the 100-target race and looked good for a position. 
The last squads, however, broke up things; in fact, the 
winner .was in the last squad. 
Master Topperwein, the six-year-old son of Mr. and 
Mrs. Adolph Topperwein, held an impromptu reception 
during the afternoon. Revolver shooting seemed to be 
his forte, and he certainly shdwed that not all the 
Topperwein ability was with his father and mother. 
Watch this boy about eight or ten years hence. We 
say he will be heard from. 
The Red Cily Gun Club. 
Rockford, Ill., Sept. 28.—The second registered tour¬ 
nament of the Red City Gun Club, was notable for 
some very superior scores. Fred Bills led the profes¬ 
sionals with 195 out of 200, while J. R. Graham, of Long 
Lake, in the amateur class, was but one less, 194, the 
prize of which was an $8 meerschaum pipe. There were 
five professionals in attendance. The five prizes for high 
amateur averages went to J. R. Graham, C. Dale, of 
Pecatonica; T. J. Malana, Eugene Anderson and A. 
Vance. 
There was a strong wind. 
The members of the club made a most favorable record 
as entertainers. The competition was so close that no 
one won or lost much. 
Some of the members allowed their tournament scores 
to account in the club series of contests for four fine 
Ballistite loving cups and other prizes. A similar series 
will be arranged for 1910. The final standing of the 
members in the Red City cup contests is as follows:

H. G. Powell, one of Lynn’s oldest trapshooters, in 
company with C. A. Alley, were interested spectators and 
enjoyed the exhibition immensely. 
The first squad—Kirkwood, Mrs. Topperwein, Ballou, 
Powel, and Todd—broke 73 out of 75 on their first try. 
Todd being the unlucky one with 13, he was made the 
target, but the next event was where he turned the 
tables with his straight. 
E. B. Drake, Murray Ballou, Arthur Sibley, Mrs. 
Topperwein, C. R. Borland, Roland Howe and H. 
epi ented the Dead Shot Mills, office and 
shooter's -in every branch. 
Jack Brinley, as usual, kept busy. Boston shooters 
never let Jack off easy, but as a rule he thrives on it. 
Some twenty to twenty-five ladies were present at the 
exhibition, and certainly felt well paid for their trouble. 
The innerman was taken care of bv caterer Robertson, 
and right here the best scores of the day were made. 
A swell lunch was the universal verdict. 
J. C. Todd brought forth his rejuvenated 34in., and of 
course got into the averages. Certainly Todd can look

Schenectady, N. Y., Sept. 29.-—Fine weather, pleasant 
competition and a good attendance made the tournament 
a success. Thirty-eight contestants participated. _ A 
specially interesting feature was the wonderful shooting 
exhibition by Mr. and Mrs. Topperwein, of Texas, with 
pistol, rifle and shotgun. 
Mr. IT. H. Stevens was high professional with 187 out 
of 200. Mrs. Topperwein was second with 183. Of the 
amateurs, H. T. Brown, of Glens Falls, was high with 
1S4; second, F. O. Roberts, Troy, 183; third, E. M. 
Hurd, Albany, 181; the latter also made the longest 
run, 56. H. L. Brown assisted the management effi¬ 
ciently, while the office was in charge of H. H. Stevens. 
Everett Smith, the candidate for mayor, proved his 
ability, to smash the clay disks with the very creditable 
score of 123 out of 140. 
At this tournament the newly installed McCrea auto¬ 
matic trap performed beautifully, and being the center 
Buffalo Audubon Club. 
Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 2.—A very good crowd attended 
the first October shoot, considering that the game season 
opened on the first. 
Mr. Cox was high man in the fourth event, consisting 
of 10 pairs thrown from the new Leggett with Ideal 
head. The trap worked perfectly on both doubles and 
singles. 
The first three events on the programme are singles,
