The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., Oct. 24.—The fifth shoot for the Mas- 
sachusetts State ” champio nship trophy was held on the 
Paleface shooting grounds, some fourteen shooters gath- 
ering for the occasion, even though the game season 
was in full swing, and were amply repaid, as the after- 
noon was one of the enjoyable kind, where enthusiasm 
and good fellowship were up to the top rung of the 
ladder. 
L. Edgarton, the holder of the State trophy, es- 
sayed to turn another trick in his favor, and came 
within an ace of making a duplicate win, only losing on 
a tie, and then it took a straight 25 to prevent the 
Connecticutonian from taking the honors home again 
to the Nutmeg State. 
Dr. Gleason’s return to the fold was a lucky thing for 
Massachusetts, as his consistent work enabled us to 
register a first win for a Massachusetts shooter, and give 
reasons for thinking that there were some shooters in 
this State who had a look in on a match of this kind. 
*Gene Reed easily proved his superiority over the 
bunch by annexing seven more targets than his nearest 
competitor, and only one target less than high: in the 
trophy race. 
Roy and Buff looked somewhat out of form, according 
to the total scores, but better work next time will be 
in order, and good ‘marks are assured.

Schenectady Gun Club. 
Tee Schenectady, N. Y., Gun Club, under date cf 
Oct. 25. has issued the following circular letter to its 
members and friends: 
During the past year there has been such an increase 
of building operations in the neighborhood of the club 
grounds that it was found necessary to obtain a new 
location. After careful consideration of various proposi- 
tions, a very favorable location has been leased from 
the Mohawk Golf Club; the club house has been moved, 
repaired and enlarged, and the traps installed ready for 
the opening practice shoot, on Saturday, Nov. 2, and 
thereafter on Saturday afternoons, according to the 
usual practice of the club. 
The new grounds are located near the Ballston Road, 
just Leiow the golf club water tower, about twelve 
nunutes’ walk north from Stop No. 4 on the Troy Road. 
Troy Road transfers can be obtained from all trolley 
lines, ard’ can be used on either the Rosendale Road 
or Troy cars. 
To reach grounds from Troy, leave car at Stop 4 and 
walk north to grounds; from Albany, transfer at Mc- 
Clellan stieet or waiting room to- Troy Road; frorm 
Saratcgea or Amsterdam, transfer at waiting room to 
ae fo from Mechanicville, take car from Troy to 
Ton 5 
The directors of the gun club realize that for the last 
ten years its out-of-town members and friends have con- 
tributed largely to the success and enjoyment of the 
club threugh their constant attendance, and hope that 
the sanie pleasant association will be continued at the 
club's new home. Everyone will receive a hearty wel- 
come, and will be able to enjoy the sport under con- 
ditions admirably suited to trapshooting. 
The ciub also takes this opportunity of announcinz 
an all-day shoot Jan. 1, 1908 (New Year’s Day), pro- 
gramme for which will be published later, and hopes to 
be able to greet as many of its friends, both amateur 
and professional, as possible on that occasion.

Independent Gun Club. 
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct..26.—Darkness put an end to 
one of the best contested shoots held under the auspices 
of the [Independent Gun Club to-day at Holmesburg 
Junction, with three men tied for first prize. It was the 
monthly target shoot of the Independents, and twenty- 
four target cracks contested for a finely mounted deer 
head, donated by a member. Although the weather was 
favorable for good scores, such were few and far between, 
and it was a rare occurrence for a gunner to run straight 
in any event. Such shots as Buckwalter, McCarty, Bal- 
lantyne, 'ansey, Mink, Pflegar, Landis, Shew, Wentz 
and Marcy, all had considerable trouble trying to locate 
the elusive flying bluerock, and not a man in the field 
of twenty-four succeeded in breaking 90 of his 100 targets. 
The race after the third retind narrowed down to a 
fight between Fallantyne, Mink, Buckwalter, Tansey, 
Pflegar, Landis, Sanford and McCarty for high gun, but 
in the last round it was so dark that it was almost im-
