FOREST AND STREAM. 

Boston Gun Club. 
Boston, Mass., March 7.—What proved to be the 
nicest afternoon shoot held in this section for some 
time was held at Wellington to-day on the grounds of 
the Boston Gun Club, twenty-six shooters taking part, 
representing all the prominent trapshooting clubs in Bos- 
ton and vicinity. The weather conditions being exceed- 
ingly good for this season of the year, gave the full- 
fledged trappist just the chance he has been waiting for 
to secure good scores, high average for the afternoon 
being an even 90 per cent. 
The prize match scores were worthy of particular 
mention. Frank at 19yds., and Cavicchi at Il6yds., 
“‘making hay while the sun shines’’ to the tune of only 
one miss, Gleason, Carver and Powers finishing hard 
with one less break. Roy’s 27 also was good shooting, 
the last 15 being an example of an expert at the longer 
distance marks. 
Cavicchi’s high average shooting was easily the fea- 
ture of all, a 90 per cent. average on these grounds being 
a coveted honor by all shooters far and near, and it 
being the first one of the season, gives it an additional 
honor in the club blue book. 
The second average fell to Dr. Gleason, the varying 
distances and recent illness bothering not a little; but a 
few more shoots will put the Doctor back in last season’s 
form, and then it’s all up with the targets, without re- 
gard to distance. 
Powers’ 96 per cent. on 50 targets, after a two years’ 
absence from the traps, shows no loss of cunning, and if 
scores of this quality are steady diet, we are in hopes of 
more frequent visits in the future. Other scores:

Arkansas Championship. 
Littte Rocx, Ark., March 7.—The annual contest for 
the live-bird championship of Arkansas, and the Peters 
Cartridge Co. trophy, emblematic thereof, was held on 
the Little Rock Gun Club grounds yesterday, under ad- 
verse weather conditions. In a field of ten, John M. 
Pemberton, of Ashvale, again showed his superiority 
by capturing the trophy with the good score of 23 out of 
25. There was $25 in cash to be divided between the 
next four high guns, and this went to Litzke, Lloyd, 
Larkan, Powell and young J. P. Thomason, all of 
whom scored 19. Dr. Lenow won the special prize, a 
handsome souvenir. The birds were a good active lot, 
and the cold, raw weather made them fly vigorously. 
After the main event was finished, a number of sweeps 
and miss-and-outs followed. In these Paul R. Litzke 
showed to best advantage, winning or dividing first in 
all but one. The following are the scores in the cham- 
pionship race, and the two sweeps that followed. The 
shooting was under Interstate rules, and every one shot 
from the 30yd. mark:

32 and .35 Caliber Self-Loading Rifles 
The Winchester Model 1905 Self-Loading Rifle is not cumbersome, 
complicated and unsightly like most other self-loading firearms, 
The Winchester self- 
loading system permits rapid shooting with great accuracy and 
on account of the novelty and ease of its operation adds much 
but a simple, handsome, well-balanced gun. 
to the pleasure of rifle shooting either at target or game. 
For 
certain kinds of hunting where the quarry is generally shot on 
the run, the Winchester Self-Loading Rifle is particularly well 
adapted. The .32 and .35 caliber cartridges that the Model 1905 
handles are of the modern smokeless powder type and give 
excellent penetration and great shocking effect on animal tissue.

Litzke, Lloyd and Powell. The second, with nine 
entries, was won by Litzke on the tenth round. The 
third was divided by Litzke and Lloyd on 3 kills, Powell 
and Bragg won the fourth on 7 kills. The four high 
guns of the shoot were as follows: Litzke (70) 61, 
Pemberton (66) 56, Powell (75) 62, Lloyd (57) 48. 
Litzke made one run of 24 straight, and killed 47 out 
of the last 50, losing most of his birds in the early part 
of the medal race. 
This is the second time Pemberton has won this 
trophy in open competition, having won it a year ago on 
the same score, and retained it until December, when 
the Stuttgart Gun Club redeemed it and put it up in 
open competition, where W. B. Powell won it. Powell 
has challenged Pemberton to an individual contest for it, 
and the race will be shot within the next thirty days, 
as the rules provide. This should prove a battle royal, 
as Pemberton at one ‘time last year held the Peters 
championship trophy, the Lloyd challenge medal at live 
birds and also the individual flying target championship. 
W. B. Powell is a game match shooter, and has won the 
Peters trophy twice in open competition and several 
times in individual contests. ‘ 
P. Thomason was the juvenile present. This youth 
of fifteen years, who had never seen a pigeon trapped, 
made a run of 18 straight with a strange gun that pun- 
ished him badly, and ultimately caused him to flinch. 
Papa Thomason was among the also rans. 

Magic City Gun Club. 
Muncie, Ind., March 5.—At the annual meeting of the 
Magic City Gun Club, of Muncie, Ind., the following 
officers were re-elected for the ensuing year: J. W. 
Farrell, President; G. G. Williamson, Vice-President; 
F. L. Wachtel, Secretary and Treasurer. Secretary 
Wachtel’s report shows the club to be in a healthy and 
prosperous condition. The club has declared a 25 per 
cent. dividend, something that few clubs in the State 
can surpass or possibly few can equal. Our tourna- 
ments have always been well patronized. We will hold 
our annual spring tournament on Thursday, April 19. 
We have a large, commodious club house, and _ are 
prepared to handle any kind of a crowd, and will shoot 
on any kind of a day, no matter, 
In the snow or in the rain, 
The shooting match will come off just the same. 
So if it is a shooting match you are hunting for, come 
to Muncie on April 19, and you surely will be accom- 
modated. F, L. WacuTeEL, Sec’y. 
The dates claimed for the New York State shoot are 
June 12-16. It will be held under the auspices of the 
Tnfallible Gun Club, of Buffalo, of which Dr. Edward 
J. McLeod, 1149 Saratoga avenue, Buffalo, is the Sec- 
retary.
