A New York daily recounts that quite a thorough test 
of the new harmless bullets was given in the Jardin de 
Paris, at Paris, between Mr. Walter Winans, the famous 
revolver expert, and Commandant Fergues. They fought 
a sham duel. Mr. Winans scored six speculative kills 
with the kill-less bullets. However, a harmless encounter 
is a common occurrence in France, even when good 
standard bullets are used. Duelling in that courteous 
country has a much lower death rate than has any other 
-form of amusement the world over.

The hostility to pigeon shooting in England is mani-

being in the form mentioned in the Shooting Times of 
recent date, as follows: ‘‘Promoters of pigeon shooting 
matches and others interested will do well to take note 
that the R. S. P. C. A. are very active just now, and ar 
nearly every advertised pigeon shooting match a rep- 
resentative is present to watch the proceedings on 
behalf of the Association and take notes of any incident 
which may sayor of cruelty or unspdortsmanlike treat- 
ment of the birds.”

Boston Gun Club. 
Boston, Mass., May 4.—The Boston Gun Club’s annual 
invitation team match will be held Wednesday, June 13, 
on their grounds at Wellington. The shoot this year 
will be of two days’ duration, the second day having as 
an attracticn an interstate team-match between Maine, 
New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. All 
shooters will be welcome, and any amateur will be eli- 
gible for average moneys, whether coming from Massa- 
chusetts or any other State. »Programmes will be ready 
about May 20, and any shooter forwarding address to 
our Boston office, we will be very pleased to favor with 
a programme. H. C. Kirkwoop, Sec’y. 
May 2.—The third and last serial prize shoot of the 
Boston Gun Club was held on its Wellington grounds 
to-day with twenty-four of the regulars in the points. 
Good shooting was prevalent throughout the afternoon, 
hardly an event being shot without at least one straight 
score being made, and in the majority of cases each event 
having two to six possibles. 
With the trap somewhat out of kilter, the club was 
somewhat up against it, but as the shooters were most 
willing to look over a hindrance of this kind, the shoot 
proved to be a most enjoyable afternoon. 
As has been the case, the past two months, the fight 
for high average between Dickey and Griffiths proved of 
great interest, just a per cent. difference between them, 
res great majority of the shooting being from the 2lyd. 
mark. : 
Gene Reed’s win of third average tickled the crowd 
immenseély, as no one is any more popular with Boston 
and vicinity shooters than the genial present Mayor of 
Manchester. Elmer Reed was somewhat out of form, 
but promises better scores on his next visit, on the occa- 
sion of the Boston Gun Club annual team match. 
Griffiths and Roy in the prize match bettered their 
present total.by 4 and one bird respectively, and are 
now just one bird apart, with the end in clear view. 
Powers with 30 straight, the first of the year, in this 
match easily captured first honors, and surely was center- 
ing his targets with the precision of a Crosby, and with 
a little more of regular practice will make all comers 
hustle. Other scores:

Prospect Shooting Association. 
Battimore, Md., May 2-—The annual meeting of the 
Prospect Shooting Association was held on the evening 
of April 30, when officers were elected. The meeting 
was a large and enthusiastic one. The treasurer’s report 
showed a _ successful season, the club having thrown 
more than 55,000 targets, and carried sixty-three mem- 
ies in good standing. Fourteen new members were 
‘elected. 
During the last year the club has improved its shoot- 
ing grounds by having a new. semi-circular shooting 
platform built, so that shooters stand on a dry floor. 
A proposition from the Annapolis Gun Club was read 
by the secretary to have a three-club shoot among the 
Annapolis, Analostan and Prospect clubs, one in each 
place, with ten men up and 50 targets per man. The 
secretary was authorized to accept the proposition and 
make arrangements. 
The meeting was. held in the new club room provided 
by the Prospect Park management for members in the 
main building, where the members have lockers pro- 
vided, with washroom and other conveniences. On 
invitation of the president, the members present partook 
of a collation. 
The club will shoot every Monday hereafter. The 
scores of the afternoon follow:
