FOREST AND STREAM 
[Feb. 22, 1908. 
The Palef&ces. 
Boston, Mass., Feb. 12.—Twenty-three shooters in all 
toed the mark for the New England championship, held 
on the Paleface grounds to-day, and blazed away with 
indifferent results. The conditions being w'ell-nigh per¬ 
fect before the programme commenced, every one was 
looking for 90 per cent, or better, and the scores that 
did materialize were anything but satisfactory. 
Buffalo had the had habit of annexing all the honors, 
his win in the 100-target race coming on the last 20 
targets, and it was surely necessary, in view of the 
“candy kid” Hassam’s whirlwind finish of 20 straight, 
the only one of the day. Just a bit off in one event 
cut out the possibility of the first two-win shooter, and 
it may take more to do it at any future shoot. 
Elmer Reed also was going some, and seems to have 
struck that old Manchester gait that is such a terror to 
all shooters, tie for second high average and third in 
100-tagget tace. Climax and Rule made up the Lowell 
contingent, and though rather off color, a few more 
regular practice shoots and it will be another story. 
Charlie Blinn, and Bryant had all the credit in view 
of their scores' being the best of their efforts for some 
tinre past, and it is hoped that the coveted 90 per cent, 
is now clearly in sight.

Feb. 15.—The bad weather kept the attendance down to 
six guns to-day. but we made up in enthusiasm what we 
lacked in numbers. Although the first three numbers 
were run off in a driving rainstorm and high wind, and 
the day as a whole was trying to the shooters, eleven 
events were run off, and the scores, under the circum¬ 
stances, were very good. Pelham was high gun of the 
dav, and principal winner. 
Event No. 1, February cup, won by M. V. Lenane 
after tie with Pelham, 25 to 24. No. 2, Sauer gun, leg 
won by Pelham after tie with M. V. Lenane, 19 to 18. 
No. 3, high score cup, won by Dr. Held and Elias.
