In the Boston Herald of May 15, is the recountal of an 
incident which illustrates the sterling good fellowship and 
practical consideration which obtains among trapshooters, 
as follows: “An incident which is truly typical of the 
good feeling which exists among trapshooters took place 
at the last shoot for the New England championship 
trophy on the Paleface grounds at Wellington. Two 
well-known Palefaces had tied for the honor and were 
shooting off for the prize, the one from the limit rise 
and the other on the 16yd. mark. In taking his position 
during the shoot-off, the 16yd. man took his stand, by 
mistake, at the 17yd. mark, or one yard further away 
from his bird than he was entitled to stand, when the 
limit man called his attention to the fact and told him to 
move nearer the traps. A little later, noticing a kind of 
hurried shooting on the part of his opponent, he coached 
him to take his time, which certainly gave him a better 
command over his bird. There is little wonder that such 
good feeling prevails among trapshooters when incidents 
like the foregoing take place between rival guns.” 
Bernard Waters.
