The 
P&lefices. 
Boston. Mass.. May 23.—Paleface signals were dis¬ 
played early in the week and consequently two dozen 
or more of the faithful gathered at the well-known Well¬ 
ington shooting grounds Wednesday, May 20. The pro¬ 
gramme was a reasonable one for these banb-bang days, 
being 100 targets, a preliminary 50. followed by a 2-man 
team race of another 50 targets, all in 10- and 15-target 
events. Prizes of two pretty cut glass dishes were 
offered to the team winners and considerable interest 
was taken in this handicap event. 
The targets were going some, and No. 1 trap speeded 
a special left quarterer that claimed a few victims. 
Weather conditions were most agreeable, as the promised 
rain held off until evening. 
Tn the absence of Guv.-Genl. Horace Kirkwood, Secy.- 
Treas. Charles Comer took off his coat and set squads 
a moving. Without undue hustle the shoot progressed 
lively enough, though the crowd was too large for a 
five o’clock finish bv half an hour. For programme 
honors, George Eggers, of New Bedford, and Horace 
Jordan, of the home contingent, had a runaway race, 
where, but for the latter’s break in his third event, he 
would possibly have turned the tables on his opponent. 
Mr. Eggers shot evenly, and 90 was an all right score 
on the varied angles. 
The handicapping committee served gracefully and 
two teams earned perfect cards. The agreement being 
high guns win. Messrs. “Buff” Smith and Tordan carried 
home the trophies on the ioint score of 105 with handi¬ 
caps of 17. Lvnde and F. Cavicchi were second with 101. 
For the Hassam trophy “Charles” scored a win. though 
“Dead Shot” Sib labored industriously after hours in 
this popular re-entry match. Several ladies added to 
the pleasure of the occasion, and at least one Hubbv 
had strict orders to increase the display of cut glass on 
a certain side-board. 
Tt was noted that Dr. Wood's short vis ; t included a 
straight 15: that Horace Jordan did his best shooting 
so far on these grounds: that Hodges does remarkably 
well for the short time he has nracticed: that Horace 
K. was missed: that “Dupont” Dick ou^ht to have an 
assistant >n the office; that Brvan f is shooting a heap 
better with a straighter gun: that Powers’ score in the 
daily papers next morning was 10 less than it should 
have been: that Bov also was robbed of 4; that Mrs. 
Park broke 22 out of the first 25: that Hassam’s recoil 
pledge was broken- that Cavicchi, Sr., and Jr., shot a 
fie race; that Sibley’s example was one too few; that 
Frank’s stronghold is 15 rather than 10-target events: 
that Mr. “Waterbury” saw the reporters; that “Buffalo” 
was wrapped tip in the coming New York-Boston team 
race: that “Charles” is a good squad hustler; that 
Muldown had plenty of comnanv on 79: and last, but 
not least, everybody had a good time. Scores:

THE ANGLER’S WORKSHOP 
Rodmaking for Beginners 
By PERRY D. FRAZER 
A UNIQUE work, bringing the science of rodmaking up to the very moment and 
epitomizing the knowledge and experience of experts for the guidance of the 
average man. The evolution of bait-casting principles has made Mr. Frazer’s book 
supersede all previous publications on the subject. 
Every angler—young or old—who is fond of adapting his rods and tackle to his own 
ideas of what they should be, will find in this book a large fund of information gathered 
by the author in years of study, experiment and practical experience in fishing, 
tournament casting and at the work bench. He theorizes and speculates not at all. 
He tells “the how’’ of everything connected with rodmaking in a way that makes re¬ 
sults certain. All explanations are simple and easily followed. 
Separate chapters are devoted to each of a half dozen types of bait-casting rods; to 
tarpon, surf and light salt water rods; bass and trout, salmon and tournament flyj-ods. 
Complete specifications of well known types are given, and the chapter on split bamboo 
rodmaking is the most comprehensive treatise on the subject ever published. Indispen¬ 
sable in the angler’s library. 
Cloth, 180 pages, four full-page illustrations. 60 working drawings, making plain every 
feature-of the text. Postpaid, $i.
