The Palefaces. 
Roston, Mass., April 22.-—Fourteen shooters, not sat¬ 
isfied with one holiday this week for shooting, spent one 
of the pleasantest afternoon shoots for some time, and in¬ 
cidentally took another shy at the coveted New England 
championship, to-day being the tenth shoot for this 
trophy. 
Many surprises were in store for the bunch, as the 
winner proved to be a dark horse of the darkest color, 
though the score surely deserved the win, and Crane will 
now share the honors with seven others who have had the 
good fortune to place their names on the beautiful silver 
cup, which eventually will adorn the den of some skillful 
trapshootei 
Charlie Marden, the holder, fought tooth and nail to 
retain possesssion of the honor, and but for a decidedly 
bad start, might have pulled out a winner, his last 50 
targets being at a somewhat better gait than the winner s, 
but not enough to overtake any one shooting so steady 
as Crane continued to do during the entire programme. 
Charles and Hodges each made their guns bark very 
effectively, and came within an ace of turning the trick, 
which would have been considerable for either, as Hodges 
has yet to be connected with the game six months and 
the former is only just recovering his 1906 form, which 
was so much in evidence among the high averages at that 
time. 
The Hassam match proved to be, as usual, a most in¬ 
teresting tryout, the scratch men being at somewhat of 
a disadvantage in being forced to shoot a straight to be 
high; but this did not prevent them from going some. 
During the event two good scores were made by Gleason 
and Kirkwood, the former having a 23 and the latter a 24. 
Hodges and Sibley, however, took the plums, each secur¬ 
ing the possible, and both tying for scratch score, a no 
small feat when taking into account just what kind of 
talent was there. Scores:

Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y.— The beautiful cup emblematic of the 
championship of Westchester country, presented by Hon. 
Chas. M. Lane, which is to be shot for Mav 13, first day 
of the two-days* registered shoot of the Ossining bun 
Club, is now on exhibition in the window of Hartley & 
Co., No. 313 Broadway, New York. This cup will be 
keenly contested, for a number of clubs over on the 
Sound have lately developed some good shots who are 
desirous of wresting the county championship from the 
western part of the county where it seems tQ have been a 
fixture. As the cup is worth about $75, and there are no 
strings on it, the event seems to be very attractive. \Lhe 
match will be at 100 targets, divided in five 20-target 
events included in programme, no extra entrance to be 
charged 
Manager C. G. Blandford, of the Ossining Gun Club, 
has received letters from shooters in Middletown, Albany, 
Troy, Syracuse, Sylvan Beach and Danbury, Conn., who 
expect to attend, and shells have already been forwarded 
from some. The programme is very attractive, there 
being $100 cash added and $100 in merchandise prizes in 
one event. The club has two Leggett traps, one covered 
in case of rain, and a set of expert traps, which can 
be installed on short notice. Trains leaving Grand 
Central Station 7:14, 7:53 and 8:57 A. M. will reach
