Crescent Athletic Club. 
I 
Brooklyn, L. I.. Dec. 4.— As a number of the shoot¬ 
ing contingent of the Crescent Athletic Club were absent 
in the South, enjoying sport afield, there was necessarily 
a reduced attendance. A stiff wind caused erratic target 
flights. _ , ,,, ... 
The first leg on the December cup was won by W. W. 
Peabody, Jr., with a score of 24, of which one was allow¬ 
ance. The December scratch shoot at 15 targets, was 
captured by F. B. Stephenson, with a total of 14. He 
also shot consistently well throughout the programme.

The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., Dec. 1.—The first shoot for December 
on the Palefaces’ grounds was held to-day, and the 
dozen shooters who ventured forth were amply repaid 
by a very attractive 100-target programme. The interest 
commenced with the first event and never ceased till 
the last shot, though one Arthur Sibley made a runaway 
race of the high average with the percentage of 85. 
On the amateur side, however, there was considerable 
of a rivalry, John Bond putting forth his best efforts on 
the last 20, distancing both Todd and Frank to the tune 
of one target. George Plassam signalized his return to 
the game, and held the honor position till the last half, 
when lack of condition began to tell and a few misses 
stole in that ordinarily would not be there. 
The two-man team match was the interesting event 
after all, with the six teams arrayed against each other, 
Frank and Hassam on the scratch mark, and Wilkins 
and Jones with 16 for the limit. Sibley and Todd in this 
race surely intended to win, starting in with a vengeance 
and continuing right through the three events. Kirk¬ 
wood and Brown, with an 8-target handicap, looked good 
for a while, but George’s second 15 was a most unfor¬ 
tunate one, and they were forced to see the trophies go 
other ways even after making a gallant effort in the last 
event to gain back their lost ground. Dickey and Bond 
tied Wilkins and Jones for third position with lots to 
spare over the next pair. 
WINCHES TER 
TAKE-DOWN REPEATING SHOTGUNS 
THE REPEATER THAT’S USED BY OVER 450,000 SPORTS¬ 
MEN AND ENDORSED BY THE U. S. ORDNANCE BOARD. 
“The result of the severe tests to which the gun was 
subjected showed that every part was strong and service¬ 
able. The Board finds that the gun possesses the advantages 
claimed by the manufacturers .” 
“The gun can be loaded, unloaded, or fired with 
safety and sufficient rapidity. It is accurate , gives good 
penetration * * * * and has little recoil. The working 
parts are few in number , and are simple, strong, and well 
made; and the board is of the opinion that the arm is 
especially well adapted to the purpose for which it is in¬ 
tended. The Board has, therefore, no suggestions nor 
recommendations to suggest in the way of improving 
the gun * * * * 
When the Experts comprising the U. S. Ordnance Board cannot suggest any 
improvement in a jjun it means that it is as near perfect as a {jun can be made. 
STICK TO A WINCHESTER AND YOU WON’T GET STUCK 
Winchester Guns and Winchester Ammunition—the Red W 
Brand — are made for each other and sold everywhere. 
E cardinal points in a repeating shotgun are strength, safety, ease 
and certainty of action, good shooting and good wearing qualities. 
Winchester Repeating Shotguns possess every one of them and many 
others besides. That’s why they are used by over 450,000 sportsmen 
and officially endorsed by the U. S. Ordnance Board as follows: 
Lots of fun was in evidence in the team race between 
Frank and Hassam on one side and Clarke and Kirk¬ 
wood on the other. Both teams shot fine, and the result 
was in doubt till the last shot, which Clarke trimmed in 
great shape. Kirkwood 25, Clark 21; total 46. Hassam 
23, Frank 22; total 45. Scores:

Shoot-off: Powers (1) 24, Wells (7) 23. 
Powers led the bunch for the afternoon. He was 
pushed hard by Cook and Young for the honors. _ 
Wells had dreams of taking the spoon home, but in the 
shoot-off he had a bad session, losing 5 in a bunch.
