Chicopee Fails Rod and Gun Club. 
Chicopee Fai.ls, Mass., June 2.—The first shoot under 
the Lewis class system was held Saturday, May 27, on 
the grounds of the Chicopee Falls Rod and Gun Club, 
Chicopee Falls, Mass. It proved to be one of the best 
Saturday shoots that we have held on the grounds. 
Thirty shooters were present from different parts of the 
State. The prizes for the four classes in the Lewis class 
system were silver spoons, and were won by Dr. S. A. 
Lewis, Class A; Jordan, Class Ii; Smith, Class C; and 
L. A. Rodin, Class D. These shoots will continue 
through the summer every other Saturday. The Du Pont 
trophy shoot will also start Saturday, June 10, to run 
for four shoots. 
High gun for the day was Mr. Chapin, who broke 114 
out of 125, 91 >4 ]>er cent. 
A special event of 100 birds was also run off, which 
resulted in a tie between Mr. G. S. Lewis, of Chicopee 
Falls, and P. O. Osborne, of Boston. In the shoot-off 
Osborne won. The scores for the day were:

Philadelphia Trapshooters’ League. 
Philadelphia, Pa., June 4.—Frank S. Cantrell, Jr., 
yesterday afternoon captured the individual championship 
of the Philadelphia Trapshooters’ League over the traps 
of the S. S. White Gun Club at Holmesburg Junction, by 
breaking 94 of his quota of 100 targets. It was a post¬ 
season League shoot, for those who had broken 42 or 
better in any regular League shoot. Without detracting 
in the least from Cantrell’s victory, it was, in a measure, 
a hollow one, as of the fifty-one members qualified to 
enter, less than one-third competed, and numbered among 
the absentees were several shots that would at least have 
insured a good race, even if any one of them failed to 
beat Cantrell out. It was an unusually poor turnout for 
so important a shoot. The conditions were 100 targets, 
divided into five 20-bird events, and with sliding handi¬ 
cap of from 16 to 21yds. Cantrell also captured a $5 gold 
piece for high man in Class A, the same prize for the 
leader in Class B going to A. J. Renner, who broke 87.

A Courageous Trapshoofer. 
Two or three years ago Mrs. Hood Waters’ name was 
often seen in the list of trapshooters at various events, 
and reports and articles from her nen were frequently 
printed in Forest and Stream. The Boston Evening 
Herald of May 31, tells of a heroic rescue by Mrs. Waters 
at Branford, Conn., on Decoration Day. The account 
says: 
“Fully_ clothed, Mrs. Hood Waters, of New York, 
jumped into the Sound yesterdav afternoon and rescued 
Albert Pischino, a three-year-old child, who had fallen 
into the water while walking with his mother. The 
rescue occurred a short distance from Ocean Point, and 
was witnessed by a large number of people, who were 
spending the holiday boating in the Sound. 
“The young child had been playing near the water and 
fell over the stone embankment. The tide was running 
out at the time, and seeing the child’s plight, Mrs. 
Waters took off her pumps and dove into the water. 
Mrs. Waters js a strong swimmer, and in a few minutes 
reached the side of the child. Throwing the youngster’s 
arm around her neck, Mrs. Waters swam back against the 
tide to the shore. With her clothing wringing wet, Mrs, 
Waters was compelled to go to the station in order to 
keep a business engagement in Boston.

THE NARRATIVE OF A SPORTSMAN 
INTER-OCEAN HUNTING TALES 
EDGAR F. RANDOLPH 
A series of hunting reminiscences of rare charm for the sportsman and for 
the wider circle which delights in true tales of outdoor life. With none of the high 
coloring and exaggeration which give a false note to so many hunting stories Mr. 
Kandolpn s book is never lacking in interest. 
. He covers the field of sport with the rifle, east and west, drawing a vivid word 
picture of life in the open, subordinating his own exploits to the main incidents of 
outdoor experience, giving much valuable information on camp life, hunting and the 
habits of wild game, and continually delighting the reader with the freshness of his 
viewpoint. 
This book will strike a sympathetic chord in the memory of every big-game 
hunter, of experience and will prove of real value to the novice who is planning an 
excursion into the wild. F B
