The Prefaces. 
Boston, Mass., Feb. 19.—The regular Paleface shoot, 
held to-day at Wellington, proved to be one of. the 
most enjoyable held on the grounds, the small attend¬ 
ance of twelve being due to the snow squall which con¬ 
tinued during the entire shoot. 
The most interesting feature of the shoot .was the team 
shoot which brought out six teams, varying in degrees 
of skill. The Charles and Kirkwood team, with a 
handicap of 5 targets proved to he good stayers and 
emerged finally 2 targets to the better of Buffalo and 
Frank, the only scratch team entered. Up until the 
last round it certainly looked as though the “scratch* rs” 
would deliver the goods, but an unfortunate 9 out of 13 
for each caused the downfall. 
High average was won by Kirkwood, 5 targets to the 
good of Frank, who in turn led Griff 2 targets. Scores:

Feb. 26.—The sixth shoot on the New England cham¬ 
pionship was held at Wellington, some sixteen shoot¬ 
ers digesting the 125-bird programme, with results more 
or less satisfactory. 
Buffalo again demonstrated his ability as a strong 
weather shooter, the conditions being even poorer than 
on his previous win. Tt was impossible to judge either 
bird or load in such a gale, and rot a few of the shooters 
were in a quandary as to just what to expect. 
Ted White, the Du Pont Canadian, shot the highest 
average, and while the 16yd. distance was somewhat too 
easy for him in comparison with others at 20 and 21yds., 
too much credit cannot be given him for leading the 
procession. 
Griffiths 
and Hascnm took care of second position, 
Griffs fine finish of 18 being 
a corker.

each at 50 and 100yds., using .22 English miniature mili¬

a telescope fitted to his rifle, while Mr. Almy used the 
regular sights, and at the start looked a winner, but his 
Tifle became disabled, and while he kept in the game it 
was under difficulties. The scores were, Creedmoor tar¬
