Boston G. C. Tournament. 
Boston, Mass., June 13.—The finest kind of weather 
greeted the seventy shooters who attended the first day of 
the Boston Gun Club’s seventh annual tournament, held 
at Wellington to-day, and proved without a doubt that 
the trapshooters of Boston and vicinity were held in high 
esteem by the weather man and his helpers. It being 
the first two-day tournament held in Boston for some 
time, it was looked forward to by the regulars with a 
good deal of pleasure; and the many interesting events, 
such as team shooting and individual prizes, went a lon 
ways toward making the shoot the success that it prove 
to be. , 
Not a little of the success came from the shooters 
themselves, as never was there a shoot where the con- 
testants kept tabs on the shoot and were always ready 
when their squad’s turn came about. The club surely 
must be congratulated on having such friends, as it is 
a most useful adjunct to a shoot when the entire attend: 
ance seem to want to help in any way they can toward 
furthering the interests of their favorite sport. : 
Another part of the tournament that was worthy of 
special mention was the trapping. More perfect trap- 
ping could not be imagined, and in most cases the 
shooters were astonished to see squad after squad shoot 
through an event without the semblance of a hitch. 
That the trappers were kept busy can be judged by the 
fact that 23,000 targets were trapped during the two days, 
no shooting being done till 9:30, and all being finished 
at 5 P. M. This arrangement was appreciated by all, as 
it allowed those shooters who came from a long distance 
ample time to reach home in good season. 
To enumerate who was there would necessitate writing 
a book; but the prominent visitors were G. M. Wheeler, 
O. R. Dickey, J. E. Burns, E. E. Webber, A. E. Sibley 
and S. B. Hebbard, all connected with the trade, and 
the following members of the Dyed-in-the-Wool Enthu- 
siasts’ Association: S. G. Miller and N. C. Tozier, of 
Haverhill; J. W. Hay and F. Hilliard, of Lynn; H. S. 
Edgerton, of Willimantic, Conn.; E. E. Reed and Elmer 
Reed, of Manchester, N. H.; E. C. Griffiths and J. Mc- 
Ardle, of Rhode Island; P. H. Powell, C. M. Hughes 
and J. G. Derby, of Newport; Geo. Eggers and E. G. 
Bullard, of New Bedford; T. F. Rice and E. A. Staples, 
of South Framingham. 
While there were many bright stars of the shooting 
game present, Climax seemed to be the particular one, 
as his two days’ average of 97 per cent. eclipsed any- 
thing seen in this section for many moons. That 
Jimmy delivered the goods goes without saying, and 
every one was pleased with the iron, as this Lowell ex- 
pert stands on the top rung of the good fellowship 
ladder in the hearts of Boston trappists. 
Second average on the first day was won by Grif- 
fiths, just one bird ahead of his side partner, McArdle, 
who in turn led Dickey one target. As just seven shot 
better than 90 per cent., winning an average was no smal] 
thing to do, and a usual high average of 88 per cent. was 
lost in the shuffle. ; 
In the team match the contest proved to be closer than 
ever before since the club started, six teams ending within 
six birds of the high scores, with four of these tied for 
first and second places. The Derryfield and Paskamansett 
boys had the honors, with 130 each, the highest score the 
match has ever been won with. Watertown and Boston 
were a tie, two birds behind. The Watertown boys were 
looked upon as the likely winners, but Roy, usually their 
strongest shot, was considerably off color, not coming 
within six birds of the standardd he has set for himself 
of late. In shooting the tie off, the Paskamansett team 
being incomplete, the two captains, Eggers and Mayor, 
shot it out, with the latter winning on 25 straight breaks 
to Egger’s 20. Scores:
