[Nov. 30, 1907. 

The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., Nov. 21.—The first shoot on the cup 
presented to the Palefaces by Fred Stone was held at 
Wellington to-day and the attraction proved strong 
enough to draw twenty-six shooters of all varieties of 
skill, and a most pleasant shoot resulted. 
It was to be regretted that the afternoon was so short, 
as it was impossible for all to finish, some finding it 
necessary to curtail their enthusiasm, and others finding 
it more than difficult to shoot in the moonlight, which 
was the case during the last events. 
First leg on the trophy was won by a home shooter, 
though one Burnes from Cambridge was only one tar- 
get behind, ready to take advantage of any letup. 
The Massachusetts State championship proved a bone 
of contention, and it took a Connecticut shooter to do the 
trick, Edgarton doing a fine stunt, his last 30 netting 
27, when the light was in that condition that it was im- 
possible to see the target until well on its way, and 
then only in case of it being against a sky 
Rey Ford also deserves great credit for 
as his last 15, of which he scored 12,

Batavia, N. Y., Nov. 22.—Since our fall tournament in 
October, the boys have spent most of their spare time 
in the field. To-day is the first time we have had any 
scores to offer. Watson, Harvey, Knickerbocker and 
Tomlinson shot a string of 15. They ended in the order 
named, with Watson on the 23yd. line, and the pull boy 
ducking at every shot, conditions being to step back a

Witmincton, Del.—The ‘old-fashioned 
on the range of the Dupont Rifle 
afternoon, drew out a large number of interested members 
and friends. The actual shooting for birds did not begin 
until nearly 3 o’clock, and by the time the eighth event 
was pulled off, the targets were invisible to the naked 
eye, and candles had to be used in the shooting house. 
Even under these conditions, so accurately had the 
marksmen located the bullseye that a 25 was necessary to 
get so much as a smell of a turkey. 
The conditions of the shoot were few—one shot in each 
event for each competitor; ties to be decided by the value

Association, Saturday 
of shots in the event following; no competitor allowed 
to win more than two birds. The German ring target, 
cenier counting 25, and each %in. 
point in value, was used. As members of the Associa- 
tion who own rifles specially adapted to this class of 
work, placed their arms at the disposal of visitors, and 
the shooting was done from a rest, every contestant had 
a look in for turkey dinner, and men carried home tur- 
keys regardless. One winner was heard to remark that 
he had not fired a rifle for fifteen yars. The following 
significant notice, posted on the shooting house door, 
may explain: 
“Confidential Notice—Members who fail to win a tur- 
key and have obligated themselves at home, are advised 
to have a talk with Hessian, who has established a tem- 
porary office down in the woods. This is positively the 
last chance you will have to make good with a turkey 
dinner to-morrow,” 
Another notice, prominently 
ring diminishing one 
placed, read: 
“NOTICE—IMP( IRTANT.—Target boys will be 
searched before being allowed to go home, and any 
money or securities found, appropriated by the treasurer. 
The boys know this, and know the members of this As- 
sociation well enough not to put their faith in promises 
cf good things to come. SO DON’T TRY TO BRIBE 

Mite: BO ys ; 
As was to be expected, Hessian was first to be out 
of the game, and after the close of the second event was 
kept busy loading his rifle (which gun was the winner 
of nine out of the twelve birds) with the famous “‘cock- 
tail” load (how fortunate that New Castle did not go 
“dry”) of Sharpshooter and Dupont No. 1 for other 
people to bring down the birds. There were “ties” in- 
numerable; at one stage of the shoot the ownership of 
three birds depended upon the value of a single shot in 
the sixth event.

flag (25) of the day. This took the genial R. H. so much 
by surprise that the committee was obliged to take him 
down into the hollow by the bubbling spring and souse 
his head under water for nine minutes forty-five seconds 
before he’d believe what was told him. (R. H. had had 
some experience with this outfit on previous Saturday 
afternoons.) He was so far converted that he parted 
with cash to enter every event, and now is taking orders 
for a new code for use in the Accounting Department— 
“12 plus 13 do not equal 25; a treatise on higher mathe- 
matics” (unabridged, with many illustrations of how it 
might have was). 
Capt. Casey, the Krag sharp, started in with the regula- 
tion army rifle, but was seen dickering with Hessian 
later on for the use of “Old Meat-in-the-Pot.” He took 
home a bird, and is now writing a treatise on “Why I 
Didn’t Use the Krag,” a highly moral effusion, intended 
primarily for the ‘Rookey.” “Ellison, who “also ran”’ 
with a Krag (and made things mightly uncomfortable 
for others in two or three events at that) has consented 
to say a good word for Casey’s book in return for the 
loan of “Old Meat-in-the-Pet,” so he, too, eats turkey. 
“Twenty-five, the Elusive,” was the subject of I. du Pont’s 
plaint, up to the seventh event, while L. du Pont was 
kept so busy talking up his work on “Perfect Scores, 
a Symposium upon the Recent Occurrences on the Du- 
pont Range” (for which the author was awarded a Car- 
negie medal) that it was not until the eighth and last 
event that he made certain of his Sunday dinner. 
Besides the thirty odd Dupont members who contested 
Messrs. Hall, Weatherly, Stubbs and Schnerring, o 
the Philadelphia Association, were on hand with turkey 
appetites. These gun sharps arrived on the ground so 
late in the day, however, that there was no opportunity 
for them to properly sight in their rifles, so that no 
Wilmington turkeys’ went to belt under Quaker City 
vests. The lucky men were Hessian, Casey, Ellison, L. 
du Pont, I. du Pont, Townsend, McCollum and New- 
man. Fenn umpired the game and chalked up the 
scores, but everybody else had a royal good time. Be- 
sides Casey and Ellison, a number of National Guard 
members pluckily undertook to match their skill with

As Hessian (who managed this affair) has a number of 
similar meets up his sleeve, he has prepared a poem for 
the comfort of the unfortunates (he counts himself one by 
reason of the two turkey limitation), and had the follow- 
ing notices posted:

shooting conditions prevailed, the wind being so un-

40, F. Daniels having that for his last score.

Rifle Association was held at its range to-day, with a 
small attendance of shooters, 
in the Harvard-Dartmouth game. Conditions were little 
short of perfection, the light wind having hardly any 
effect on the bullets, although the light was rather too 
bright for fine work. : 
E. E. Patridge was top man at 1,000yds., with the fine 
score of 47, with Sumner and Daniels only one point 
behind. Two fine rest scores were also made by Patridge
