Analostan Gun Club. 
Wasuincton, D. C., April 8—The Analostan Gun 
Club opened the shooting season on April 5. On that 
occasion the club was honored by three trade representa- 
tives, Messrs. Crosby, Topperwein and Hawkins. Their 
coming had been advertised extensively, and a large 
number of citizens from the city and surrounding coun- 
try were present to witness the exhibition to be given by 
these notable experts. The interest of those present 
seemed to center in the exhibition of rifle and revolver 
shooting to be given by Mr. Topperwein. He not only 
interested the observers, but astonished them with the 
remarkable feats he performed. He commenced his 
performance by his revolver shooting—breaking blue- 
rocks by the aid of a mirror, shooting them in the air 
and also from a stake, turning his back to it and shoot- 
ing over his head at them, the target being reflected in a 
mirror, which he held in his hand. He commenced his 
rifle shooting by throwing small pieces of brick in the 
air which he pulverized with great regularity. Then he 
changed to cubes of wood, and amused the crowd by 
hitting a single one four or five times before it reached 
the ground. He also seemed able to hit very tiny marbles 
thrown in the air as easily as he did the larger objects. 
His exhibition of splitting cards held edgeways at a dis- 
tance of 18 or 20yds.. pleased the audience, as did also 
his work in peeling potatoes, which were stuck on a 
stick and revolved by his shooting. The crowning feats 
were his skill in shooting a .22 Winchester, ejecting the 
empty shell, reloading his gun and hitting the empty 
shell before it reached the ground, and throwing four 
eggs into the air and breaking them all before they had 
time to scatter. 
The afternoon was dark, and during part of the time a 
drizzling rain fell, which made the shooting difficult on 
account of the bad light. This also affected the target 
shooters. Messrs. Hawkins and Crosby, of course, led, 
the former scoring 94 and the latter 95 out of a pos- 
sible 100. During the Jast round of 25 the experts par- 
ticipated in, it grew quite dark, and Mr. Crosby lost 2 
targets in his last 5. 
Of the local shooters Uncle Billy Wagner was among 
the top-notchers; in fact, led them, with 80 broken out of 
85 shot at. Bauskett scored 66 out of 75, and Joseph H. 
Hunter, C. O. Wilhite and James did good work. The 
Analostan Gun Club never throws a very slow target. 
The boys do not believe in ‘dubs,’ and on this day 
they were going not under 60yds., and most of the time 
about 65yds., and a score made under these conditions is 
worth something.

SECRETARY. 
A New Association. 
Boston, Mass., April 6—A party composed of the 
most enthusiastic scatter gun disciples of Boston and 
vicinity met at the Quincy House to-night for the ex- 
press purpose of forming a new association to promote 
and foster trapshooting and its sociability, and keep the 
art of shotgun shooting on the highest plane in the 
world of sports. That the meeting was a success was 
due in no small way to the energetic work of B. F. 
Smith, at whose suggestion the meeting was held, and 
who has spent considerable time of late in perfecting the 
necessary arrangements for a first meeting. 
Representatives were present from a majority of shoot- 
ing clubs, among whom the most prominent were B. F. 
Satire. E: . Gleason, S. E. Powdrell, H.: B. 
emby,, 2.0. Griffiths, J. Wirth, S. M. Palmer, Jr., 
and H. C. Kirkwood. 
During an enjoyable dinner and most interesting 
smoke talk, the details of the proposed association were 
digested to the fullest extent and ideas all original were 
exchanged with good results. The spirit exhibited was 
indeed very gratifying to the promoters, to say the 
least, and augurs well for the final result, if this particu- 
lar meeting is any criterion. 
Some forty shooters have signified their intention of 
joining in with the new movement, and many letters of 
regret were received from such ‘“‘dyed-in-the-wood”’ trap- 
pists as Mayor Reed, of Manchester, N. H.; J. E. 
“Climax” Burns and W. F. Irish, of Lowell, Mass.; 
D. W. Hallam, Dover, N. H.; F. Hilliard, Lynn, Mass.; 
C. P. Keeler, Attleboro. Mass.; C. P. Blinn, P. Carver 
and R. N. Burnes, of Boston, Mass., who are with the 
Association heart and soul, but pressure of business pre- 
vented them being present for the first meeting. 
The meeting was called to order by the unanimously 
elected chairman and prince of good fellows, Dr. Glea- 
son, whose remarks were most witty and right to the 
oint, with the following list of officers being elected: 
President, B. F. Smith; Vice-President, Dr. E. F. Glea- 
son; Secretary and Treasurer, H. C. Kirkwood; Execu-
