Boston Gun Club. 
Boston, Mass.,; March 24.—Wm. Heer and Frank E. 
Butler proved to-day that they were held in high esteem 
by Boston and vicinity shooters, forty-five in all congre- 
gating on the Boston Gun Club grounds to welcome them 
after an absence of some seven months from any shoot- 
ing in this section. Every prominent club sent its rep- 
resentative to give them the glad hand, and wish them a 
season’s good luck, as the last visit still remains fresh in 
the minds of the majority, and from appearances will not 
be forgotten for many moons. : 
But how “Billy” did shoot was a caution, it being far 
from the ideal day, a cross wind making the targets dance 
all kinds of jigs and the bright sun on the snow making 
it very glaring for all but those who wore colored glasses. 
Just five little 0s were all the misses that were chalked 
against him, and unfortunately these all occurred in the 
programme events, some 40 straight being made before 
the regular events began, and not to be at all stingy, he 
finished off with another run of close to 50. All in all, it 
was “‘Heer day,”? and we are under the impression that 
this record will stand, for some time at least, or until 
we have another visit from this world-renowned, good- 
natured Indian. 
But, aside from the main feature of the day, there were 
other experts in attendance, W. G. Hearne, with a fine 
example of a modern repeating gun shooting through the 
programme with good success, in view of weather condi- 
tions, though possibly not quite a Scarecrow clip. An- 
other visit to these grounds was promised at some future 
date, and then the hoodoo will have been shot out com- 
pletely. 
The old reliable O. R. Dickey, with his usual easy 
style, captured second expert average, though Climax 
was only 2 targets in the rear, Jimmie’s two lls cutting 
considerable ice on the average list, and spoiling what 
peuts otherwise have been very close to a 94 per cent. 
clip. 
In the amateur class it was a real race, with a home 
shooter in the lead, and Griffiths, Roy, Keeler, Hebbard 
and Gleason all trailing in the order named, the two 
former being only one target apart when the final score 
was given out, and depended upon the last two birds 
of Griff’s score before there was any advantage gained. 
Fenno’s start was all to the merry, but with forty-five 
shocters, it was impossible to give any one enough 
shooting, though the automatic trap was dishing out 
targets at the rate of over 1000 an hour, and during the 
afternoon shooting, which lasted from 1:15 till 6:15, just a 
few under 5100 were trapped, and certainly goes a long 
ways to show that the trapping crew knew their business. 
John Paine, of the B. A. A., held his own on new 
grounds all right, with lots to spare over his running 
mates—Adams, Twenty-three, and Owen—who are all 
scheduled to shoot the crack Crescent team at Brook- 
lyn next Saturday, the 24th. Eighty-five to ninety-two 
per cent. has been steady diet for this particular shooter 
for the past few months, and the B. A. A. should con- 
sider. themselves lucky to have secured such a find, 
especially in view of the many important team races that 
they are entered into for the next few months. 
Johnson, of Whitinsville, was the only Mumford 
shooter to turn up simply because the rest did not have 
the necessary sand, so he said. But from past experi- 
ence with their regulars—Coffin, Searles, Burbank and 
Hamlin, not to mention the Yanigans, Noyes, Sweet, and 
Nutter—we know it must have been business that pre- 
vented them from being present, though we must admit 
that a trapshooter should not let his business interfere 
with his sport, and as the Doctor is authority on this 
statement, he ought to know. 
The club was indebted to Messrs. Wheeler, Sadler, 
Frank, Owen, Kawop, and last, but not least, J. H. Brin- 
ley, for their valuable services in scoring, etc., and proved 
that the club has still the respect of its many friends.
