_ The Sporting Life, issue of Feb. 17, announces that 
Mrs. Margaret K. Park.has been engaged as its editor, and 
wil! assume the duties of that position on March 3. 
Also thereby she will confer an honor on the guild. She 
possesses rare skill in the practical use of the shotgun, 
besides a thorough knowledge of the technicalities ot 
trapshooting. As a writer of worth in the intricate 
macters of trapshooting, her ability has been firmly es- 
tablished in recent years, for she has written much and 
well. Personally, to have the honor of her acquaintance 
is to esteem and respect her. We know that each of the 
little band of martyrs, yclept gun editors, will extend to 
her a good luck greeting and a hearty welcome. 
In the first 100 targets of 300-target event, held by the 
Boston Athletic Association, shot at Riverside, Feb. 17,

out of a possible 75. Mr. H. M. Brigham, a scratch

BERNARD WATERS. 
Boston Gun Club. 
Boston, Mass.—Eighteen shooters were present at the 
second weekly Boston Gun Club shoot, held at Welling- 
ton to-day, and after a two and a half hours’ matinee 
with some of the most elusive targets ever thrown from 
a trap, were somewhat on the fence as to whether their 
mission had been a success or not. 
Just one participant had an 80 per cent. average, and 
the majority just skinned into the 70 per cent. class, 
which most assuredly was discouraging, to say the least, 
in view of the good averages made during the entire 
1905 series. 
Four straight scores were made, all from the l6yd. 
line, and the long distance men were simply out of it, 
with one exception, which was Frank’s high score in the 
match, a pretty piece of shooting to witness, as the 
targets were centered in each instance with the precision 
of a Gilbert or‘a Crosby. 
Willard’s first 15 in the prize match was the first 
straight of the day, and he was warmly congratulated for 
his efforts. But for an unlucky 15, which was some- 
what due to having to change squads, another high man 
might have been recorded. 
Carver kept up his good match work started last 
week, and now has two good scores to help along for 
the final; but Carver promises more than this with his 
new gun, which, from style and appearance, is a hard 
cne to beat. 
Silsbee, Weld and Fenno, the New England Kennel 
Club representatives, were vieing with each other for 
honors, Fenno having just a slight advantage, with 
Silsbee a nose ahead of the Doctor. This, however, is 
not the last shoot, and the Doctor will continue to saw 
wood, and hopes to regain the old-time skill before many 
weeks have passed by. 
One of the new recruits, Freeman, held his own in 
fine style, and with another few weks’ experience will 
make all the regulars hustle for honors. A new gun, 
built on the latest trap lines and a few suggestions from 
Capt. Dickey, has worked wonders in this particular case, 
and we are all wondering whether the same kind of 
treatment would effect a change similar. - ;

Allentown Shoot. 
Ar Allentown, Pa., the two-day shoot, given by Mr. 
H. J. Schlicher, at the Duck Farm Hotel, was un- 
fortunate in the matter of weather on Feb. 15 and 16, 
the severe cold lessening the attendance. Brey was high 
gun on the second day, leading Heil by one target, and 
Kramlich by three targets. The wind and severe cold 
were handicaps, and caused scores to drop below the 
usual averages. Kramlich was shooting below his usual 
form, while using a new gun, but, taking his old gun, 
he broke 100 out of 115 in the last seven events. 
Brey 173, Heil 172, Kramlich 170, Welles 169, Pierce 
169, Hopkins 165, Bissett 165, Stever 164, Hausman 154, 
Miller 180. 
From the above it will be readily seen that the local 
man shot away above the averages made by the pro- 
fessional and manufacturers’ agents. 
In scheduled events, Jones missed 25 out of 130, Keiser 
30 out of 90, and V. Miller 28 out of 55. © 
Following the scheduled events, several sweepstakes 
were held, which resulted as follows: - 
First event, 15 targets—Welles 14, Heil 12, Piercy 11, 
Hopkins 11, Hausman 10. 
Second event, 15 targets—Brey 15, Welles 15, Heil 14, 
Hopkins 13, Bissett 13, Kramlich 13, Piercy 12, Haus- 
man 11. 
Third event, 25 targets—W. B. F. 20, V. Miller 19, 
Jones 18, C. Schlicher 16, Stettler 16, Grammes 7.
