The Pleasure Gun Club. 
Enciewoop, N. J.,. Nov. -8.—Thirty shooters attended 
the Election Day shoot: of the Pleasure Gun Club at 
Englewood, N. J. The day was ideal for the sport, and 
the targets just seemed to suit everybody. The trade 
was well represented by the following professionals: 
J. A. R: Elliott, Sim Glover, Mr.: Johnson, Jack Fan- 
ning, Frank Butler, Mr. Nicol, .Bob Schneider, and 
Al. Schoverling. All seemed to be in exceptionally fine 
humor, and worked hard for their respective branches, 
and kept the rest of the shooters “going some” the en- 
tire day. 
Among the professionals, Jack Fanning was high for 
the day with 151 out of 160 shot at. Elliott was one bird 
below him, and Glover two below Elliott. 
With the amatcurs, Fred Truax, of the North River 
Gun Club, and Will Sortor, of the Pleasure Gun Club, 
tied Fer average with 141. Carl Richter came next 
with 135. 
Straight scores were made by Elliott, Glover (3), Fan- 
ning, Lewis, Truax and Carlough (2), and each was pre- 

sented with a Dupont pipe for their ability by Jack 
Fanning. | ; 4 
A special event of 25 targets, distance handicap, for 
members only, was shot before the regular programme 
wes begun. The prize was a handsome Llewellyn setter 

puppy, presented by Dr. H. S. Holdenby, veterinary

Arkansas Championship. 
StTuTTGArRT, Ark., Oct. 31.—The field of shooters who 
gathered here yesterday to contest for the live-bird cham- 
pionship and the Peters Cartridge Co. trophy was not a 
large one, but among the contestants were some of the 
very best pigeon shots of the State. C. D. Conrey, of 
Stuttgart, carried off the honors with the very fine score 
of 24 out of 25. His only lost bird was dead out of 
bounds. This was duplicated by Le Compte, the Dupont 
expert, but not being a resident of the State, he was not 
eligible to win the trophy. E. Boysen, another Stuttgart 
shooter, and G. W. Clements, of Pine Bluff, who has 
often been in the lime light, showed strongly in this 
race, each finishing with 23. In addition to this, Boysen 
also stayed to the finish in the two miss-and-outs that 
follewed, winning the first and dividing the second. 
Prior to this contest the trophy was held by W. B. 
Miller, of Little Rock, who wrested it from John M. 


Pemberton in an individual contest. Owing to a social 
function, Miller was unable to be present, and thereby 
lost the opportunity of making another try for it. i 
The weather was of an adverse nature, a cold rain 
falling during the greater-part of the contest, and made 
a splendid looking lot of birds rather ordinary. 
The conditions of the race were 25 live birds, 30yds.

The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., Nov. 7.—The sixth Massachusetts State 
championship match was held to-day, under the auspices 
of the Palefaces and proved to be just as interesting as 
eny of its predecessors, as the excitement was at fever 
heat till the last shot was fired. 
ior the second time « Massachusetts shooter annexed 
the title, but many regrets were heard that the Mayor 
was not with us, as from the form shown of late, an- 
other win might have fallen to him, and that would 
surely have put the final crimp on the whole shooting 
match, as the three wins to his credit are now seen “to 
be an insurmountable obstacle against any other possible 
winner, 
ldr. Cleason, the holder up till to-day, looked like a 
sure Winner, starting off with a straight and holding the 
Jead at 30 targets; but the fickle wind changed things a 
little, allowing the luck to evince itself in no small pro- 
portions, and the last 20 was a Waterloo, with only 14 
out ef the 20. 
Immediately after the shoot, Roy Faye issued a chal- 
lenge 1o the present holder, and the match will be heid 
during the Nov. 21 shoot of the Palefaces. Scores:
