FOREST AND STREAM 
[Dec. 3, 1910. 
Buffalo Audubon Gun Club. 
Buffalo, N. V., Nov. 21.—Inclosed are the scores of 
the Buffalo Audubon Club, made at their grounds Nov. 
19: 
The fine hunting weather and the near closing of the 
bird season were responsible for the poor attendance. 
But what was lacking in attendance was made up in ex¬ 
cellent shooting by the different members, as the first 
nine men made an average of S8 per cent. 
The club had as a visitor II. W. Stevens, one of the 
leading professionals of the country, and his shooting was 
excellent, as his score of 78 out of 80 shows. Not far 
behind Stevens were Secretary Reinecke and Will Im- 
hoff. The former not only surprised the hoys, but also 
himself, with his good scores, lie cleaned up everything 
in sight by being high gun of the members, with only 
6 misses scored against him; won a point on the Reid 
handicap trophy by outshooting Talcott, Reid and Capt. 
Suckow, who were tied, and also won Class C with the 
good score of 19. Jack Talcott was also shooting fine, 
as he ran Class A with 19, and was well up in the pro¬ 
gram for the day. S. Freeman, who only lately recov¬ 
ered from an illness, won Class B by a score of 19, beat¬ 
ing out Imhoff by one bird. Each has now three wins 
to his credit. 
There are two more shoots in December, which will 
wind up the half period, after which the members will 
be reclassified. 
The Messrs. Covert and Rogers, of Lockport, recently 
returned from a moose and caribou hunt in the wilds of 
Quebec. Mr. Rogers shot a fine bull moose. They re¬ 
port moose quite scarce, but partridge more than plenti¬ 
ful. 
The Sidways, Clarence and Ralph, were attending the 
fox hunt with the Genesee Valley pack, both being expert 
riders, as well as fine trapshooters. Scores:

Montclair Gun Club. 
Montclair, N. J., Thursday, Nov. 24. — Three new 
candidates for trapshooting honors presented themselves 
at the Thanksgiving shoot to-day. Messrs. Bolles, El¬ 
liott and Christopher tried hitting the bluerocks for the 
first time. O. C. Grinnell, who has not fired off a gun 
for nearly a year, showed that he had not entirely for¬ 
gotten the trick. 
The fourth event, 25 targets, handicap, for a turkey, 
was tied for by Messrs. Atwater, Frazee and Gould, 
Gould finally winning out in the shoot-off:

Cincinnati (0.) Gun Club. 
The tournament scheduled for Nov. 24, Thanksgiving 
Day, could not be called a howling success, but at that, 
the few shooters who did attend had a pleasant after- 
noon’s sport, and Mr. John Payne added another gun 
to his collection. The day was cloudy, but the threatened 
rain did not fall, and the temperature was not uncom¬ 
fortably low. During part of the day a strong wind 
caused the targets to duck badly, and more than one of 
the shooters collected more than his usual number of 
goose eggs. A turkey dinner was served by Mrs. McFee, 
and several of the shooters went straight down the line 
from soup to coffee and mince pie. Owing to the small 
attendance, a series of $1 sweeps replaced the advertised 
program of ten 15-target events, money back system. 
J. R. Taylor, the Newark, O., expert, was high man. 
His first 49 targets were all broken, and he finished with 
120 out of 125. Connelly came next with 97, and Dr. 
Bird 95. In the special event for a Stevens trap gun, 
Taylor was high with 47, but the prize went to J. Payne 
on a score of 42 from 18yds., the former not being eligible 
to win. Kid Randall, of Mason, O., and Z. De Mar, of 
Madisonville. O., were among the visitors from out of 
the city. The scores:

The shoot on Nov. 20 was not very well attended, as 
many of the members are away on their annual quail 
hunts. After the season closes, the club will inaugurate 
a series of events that will reawakerl the interest, and 
bring the members out. A series of team matches with 
neighboring clubs is being considered, and this is a plan 
that cannot fail to arouse interest, and is one that will 
insure a good crowd of shooters on the match days. 
In the shoot to-day McFee and Dr. Bird had a close 
race in the trophy event, the former winning the leg by 
one target on a score of 41. In the practice events Dr. 
Bird was high man with 84 out of 115. The scores:

The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., Nov. 22. —Captain Turkey was the real 
cheese at the Paleface opener for the season 1910 and 
1911, and some twenty-one shooters in all struggled ’mid 
poorest of weather conditions for the possession of these 
dainties which the club had donated for prizes. 
It being the first shoot for many moons, it naturally 
brought out the good-fellowship of trapshooters to the 
limit, and it is safe to say that every one enjoyed it far 
beyond their fondest expectations. 
Edwards, Steels, Marden, Frank and Hassam of the 
“Pures,” started right along in mid-season form and 
soon showed the scratch men that the “Nothing Doing” 
sign would be hung on them unless they took a brace, 
but it was no go, and the scratchers had to see all the 
honors go elsewhere on the first blood for the new year. 
In the handicap class professionals and amateurs were 
all one, and after a spirited race from beginning to end 
Sid led the bunch with targets to spare. O. R. Dickey 
also climbed into the honor race, his win of ninth being 
the result of plugging hard with all the luck against 
you. Scores:
