The Palefaces. 
3oston, Mass., Aug. 17.—Thirty-one shooters made up 
a banner crowd to-day, the occasion of the third Massa- 
chusetts State championship shoot, and proved _ that 
even in the hottest time of the year the game of trap- 
shooting holds its many admirers. 
The interest naturally centered in the 50-bird match, 
Mayor Reed having been challenged by Jack, this 
bringing forth a few extra whose main desire was to 
see a spirited go between two of the best shots in this 
section, 
Mayor easily led his challenger, but not so a few of 
the field, one ‘Bob Burns” giving him the best run for his 
money he has had during the series; but Gene never 
flinched, even though the strain was at top notch. The 
win proved to be a most popular one to the shooting 
contingent. 
Bob Burns, in holding on till the 25th bird in the 
tie, quite caught the home boys, it being somewhat un- 
expected as his form during the last few months has 
not been of the right color; but once get him going 
and a Gilbert or Crosby is needed to down him on 
any distance. 
Roy, Faye and Dr. Gleason also were in the swim, one 
target away, and are in hopes to push a little harder next 
time to try and prevent it from going to Manchester 
on_ straight wins. : 
Roy, Buff, Staples and a bunch easily took care of 
about 90 per cent., and with conditions as they were, the 
were most excellent. Scores:

Lancaster—Chester. 
CoaTESVILLE, Pa., Aug. 15.—The fourth of the series 
between Lancaster and Chester counties was shot here 
to-day, Chester county winning by 24 targets, this 
making two wins for each team. The shoot was a 
thorough success in every way. 
The scores were very good, considering several balks 
on the part of both the Legget and Magautraps. Both 
were out of commission several times. 
The weather conditions were ideal. The trade was 
represented by Neaf Apgar, for the Peters Cartridge Co., 
and Mr, Lewis, Moorehouse and Corkey, for the Dupont 

end, Mr. Lewis taking care of the office, etc. The 
next shoot will be at Honeybrook.

Independent Gun Club. 
Tue Independent Gun Club shot off another 100-target 
handicap prize shoot Aug. 17, on the Keystone League 
grounds, at Holmesburg Junction, Pa., and although 
Lester German broke 93, it was G. S. McCarty, a mem- 
ber, who walked away with the club cup on the winning 
score of 89. The second prize, a Dupont silver fob, was 
captured by John Chalmers, who broke 88 out of the 
century, and W. B. Severn scooped the third token with 
86 out of 100, a fine score for a comparatively new trap- 
shooter. Mr. Trott won fourth with 85. 
The Independent Gun Club has a good future before it 
for the coming season. Among the prizes to be shot for 
are the Fox gun, given by Mr. A. H. Fox; the hand- 
painted skin, donated by G. S. McCarty; the silver trophy 
cup, donated by H. Landis David; a silver prize cup, 

MRS. WILL K. PARK, 
Trapshooting Editor, Compiler of “Trap Shooting Re- 
view,” Expert Trap Shot, and Sec’y Independent G.C. 
donated by David Longnecker, and a mounted deer’s

to be known.

EpcewatTer, N. J., Aug. 17.—Event 4 was for the 
Bissing cup. It was won by Mr. C. McClave with 25 
straight. Little Mac now holds the record of 25 straight 
on this ground. This was fine shooting from the 22yds, 
mark. He has also four wins to his credit on the 
Sauer gun, and it looks as if he will land it. Mr. 
Wynne was a god second with 23. 
In event No. 5, for the Sauer gun, Wynn and Allison 

tied on 23. In the shoot-off, George lost his nerve, and 
Wynn scored 23 and won. 
This club shoots every Saturday afternoon throughout 
the year, for trophies and sweepstakes. The boys of 
this club would like to see some of the cracks at their 
shoots, and to note whether they catch any of the 
money. The scores:

Holland Gun Club. 
Batavia, N. Y., Aug. 12.—To-day was Topperwein day. 
_Mr. and Mrs. Topperwein gave fancy exhibitions with 
rifle, shotgun and pistol on the club grounds. The gun 
club also held a big shoot, thirty-three marksmen par- 
ticipating. 
Mr. and Mrs. Topperwein gave their exhibition at 3 
o’clock. They performed feats with their weapons that 
were marvelous. One, by the man, was the outlining of 
an Indian’s head in a sheet of tin with rifle shots, at a 
distance of 30 feet. Five eggs were thrown into the air 
by Mrs. Topperwein. He then picked up a rifle and 
broke all five before they struck the ground, He threw 
up a big rifle shell and shot the lead bullet out of it. 
He shot holes into lead disks no larger than half a 
dollar, when they were thrown into the air, and shot 
targets over his shoulder with the aid of a small mirror. 
Mrs. Topperwein did stunts nearly as remarkable. 
Mrs. Topperwein, J. R. Taylor, L. J. Squier, Harry 
H. Stevens and L. H. Sterling first shot at 100 birds in 
four events. Their scores were: J. R. Taylor, 94; Mrs. 
Topperwein, 91; L. J. Squier, 87; Harry Stevens, 94; 
L. H. Sterling, 57. 
All the other shooters then participated, the score be-

Members of the Batavia Club are arranging for their 
fifth annual fall shoot on Oct. 10. 
New Martinsville Tournament. 
N. MartrnsvitLE, W. Va., Aug. 15.—The first annual 
tournament of the New Martinsville Gun Club held on 
their grounds this date was a marked success. Con- 
ditions were perfect and arrangements were so well ad- 
justed by Mr. T. M. McIntire, Secretary, who, when 
not practicing at the bar, is smashing with a shotgun. 
This is the initial effort at a tournament, and if there 
was one who did not have the time of his life, we did 
not see him. The scores might have been higher, but 
every one was satisfied, so what’s the use? At noon 
an elegant dinner was served at the Hotel Akin. After 
the regular event a merchandise race at 25 birds was 
shot Wiedebusch and Keifer tied on 28 for the high 
shot. Wiedebusch shot the Doctor out by going 25 
straight in the shoot-off. Ed. H. Taylor, Dupont, rep- 
resented the trade and broke 175, while the high average 
went to W. A. Wiedebusch, 182, and second to S. R. 
Wells, 176. You can wager that when this club has an- 
other tournament, there will be a record crowd. Scores:
