The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., Jan. 8 .—The first regular shoot for 
IS of the Palefaces was held at Wellington, to-day, a 
all party of scatter gun enthusiasts to the number of 
,ht being present to do justice to the programme and 
ze match arranged for the afternoon. 
•'rank’s high average was a popular win, to say the 
st, and taking in conditions, it was easily equal to a 
per cent, on a perfect day. 
•'irst blood for a high average on the new ledger has 
en scored, and now it only remains for a few more 
■dit marks to accompany it and the season’s work 
ill be on with him for fair. 
lleason’s second average of 87 was just one too good 
: Charles, whose late addition to the ranks of the 
m de fusil class has made a big advance over late 
-eentages. Another change and probably 80 per cent, 
uld be easy, and as Charles’ story is that present 
n can’t be beat, it may make its appearance with the 
:l customary regularity. 
Buffalo looked somewhat out of place with a fifth 
■rage of 82 per cent., but experimenting is not always 
iducive to high scores; but just wait a while, and the 
I war horse will ring the bell in good style on the 
iwd before long. 
'avicchi, Frank and Horrigan tied in the special 50- 
get match, the former holding up his good work in 
■ tic as well as the match, and now sports a smile to 
nk how the time-piece presented him will keep him 
ormed just when trains leave for Boston and vicinity 
pshooting grounds. The boys now think that when 
vicchi does not come that there is something missing, 
1 surely there is. Scores:

A RECORD THAT IS A RECORD 
Adolph Topperwein makes Straight Runs of 14,540, 
13,599, 13,292 and 13,219 on 2 %--inch wooden blocks 
at 20-foot rise, and missed only four out of 50,000 and 
nine out of 72,500, shooting 
WINCHESTER 
Smokeless Powder Cartridges 
a.nd 22-Caliber Rifles '-c '-■€ 
Just to show that all things 
are possible with Winchester 
.22-Caliber Cartridges and Rifles 
and also to show “ Who’s Who” 
in making rifle records in public, 
Mr, Topperwein recently shot 
for ten consecutive days at San 
Antonio, Texas, and made the 
above world’s records for wing 
shooting with a rifle. He used 
only two rifles and’ loaded them 
himself. These record-break¬ 
ing, history-making scores were 
made without the aid of a notary 
public, before large crowds of 
people in a public park—not in 
a far-away back lot, or down on 
the farm out behind the barn.
