Boston Gun Club. 
Boston, Mass., April 4.—The Boston Gun Club’s 
weekly prize shoot of to-day proved to be one of the 
kind that the true sportsman likes to attend. Twenty- 
eight shooters in all at sometime or other trying their 
hand at the trapshooting game and with first-class suc- 
cess in the majority of cases with weather conditions 
to the liking of even the most fastidious. 
_ Straight scores seemed to be the rule, with “‘Willaman- 
tic Edgerton” in the lead with 5, making two runs of 
nearly 40 and tying ‘‘Grif’ for high average on .928 
per cent. 
A welcome visitor was Mr. J. S. Young, of the Chicago 
Trapshooters’ Association, whose 90 odd per cent. tied 
for second average with Carver, and proved that with 
a little more practice on these deceptive grounds, he 
would be in form to go with the best. 
The real feature of the afternoon, however, was “‘Grif’s”’ 
shooting. The old veteran was in his best trim, which 
is saying a good deal. Just 9 targets in all were elusive 
enough to get away from his well directed loads, and 
judging from the looks of the bird after his gun went off, 
it looked as if the gun must have been built with a 
sprinkler on the muzzle end. 
Johnson and Hamblin, from Whitinsville, proved a 
strong pair and put in some strong bids for high honors, 
with the double gun advocate somewhat in the lead over 
the pump gun follower, though we believe tables are to 
be turned next time says the latter. Other scores:

April 11.—Twenty-three shooters journeyed Wellington- 
ward to-day to welcome our old stand-by, Jack Fanning, 
who. had stayed over a day or two just for the pleasure 
of another shoot. While Jack’s average was not quite 
what we preferred it should be, still the visit was one 
round of pleasure, as there is an exceedingly large, warm 
spot in the hearts of many Bostonians for this well known 
dense powder advocate. Twenty-one or l6yds., anywhere 
suited him, and Jack’s friends did not decrease by his 
accepting conditions as he found them in spite of being 
off form. 
Mr. E. C. Griffiths, of Pascoag, R. I., quiet in a way, 
but easily breaking targets loud enough to hear at either 
21 or 16yds.; in fact, his last 100 netting an even 96, the 
majority of these being from the longer distance mark. 
With Grif in form again—and his last six scores averag- 
ing close to 96 per cent. shows that he is—makes it all 
the worse for the home boys, and has put them on tender 
hooks as to the outcome. ‘ 
Will Woodward, a brother of the late and universal'y 
well liked ‘‘Indian,’”’ Chief Dub de Fid, was easily second 
best with 88 per cent., and his 28 in the prize match was 
the result of good shooting where it counted the most. 
Roy and Carver, first and second in the match totals, 
had a warm time all through, with the former securing 
an advantage on the second 15, which gave him a lead of 
three targets, which will be a hard lead to overcome 
with Roy shooting in the form that he is. 
Fay and Muldown in their mild set-to furnished a good 
deal of amusement, but the former stubbed his toe on a 
number of rightquarterers and then it was all over but 
the shouting. There is always a next time according to 
Fay, and then another story will be told. Other scores:

DUCK SHOOTING 
By GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL 
No single gunner, however wide his experi- 
ence, has himself covered the whole broad field

the sport that there is nothing left for him to 
learn. Each one may acquire a vast amount of 
novel information by reading this complete and 
most interesting book. It describes, with a por- 
trait, every species of duck, goose and swan 
known to North America; tells of the various 
methods of capturing each, the guns, ammunition, 
loads, decoys and boats used in the sport, and. 
gives the best account ever published of the re- 
trieving Chesapeake Bay dog. 
About 600 pages, 58 portraits of fowl, 8 full- 
page plates, and many vignette head and tail 
pieces by Wilmot Townsend. 
Price, edition de luxe on hand made paper, 
bound in buckram, plates on India tint paper,
