Minnesota— St. Paul, Aug. 11.— The match for the " Championship 

 Medal" of the Sportsmen's clnb resulted ID drawing together ye. ter- 

 day afternoon a large crowd of sportsmen and spectators. Matches 

 for the possession of the above badge arc usually well attended, and 

 the one that came off yesterday promised a great deal of pleasant ex- 

 citement lrom the fact of the well known skill of the two contrsiants, 

 Mr. G.3W. Baldwin and Mr. Bruno Beaupre, both excellent shots; in 

 fact, in the field they have lew equals. Tms champion medal came 

 Into the possession of the clnb in 1873, when Mr. Baldwin won It on a 

 fair score. He was challenged for It successively by Dr. Day, Gen. 

 Greene, Mr. Betmpro, Mr. Goichcr and Mr. J. G. Taylor, none of whom 

 were able to take it from h im. Mr. Baldwin Boon after, resigned It on 

 account of his 1 emoval (rum the State. Mr. William Qolcher won It at 

 a club match, and successfully defended It against Mr. Huddlestou 

 and Mr. Beaupre, and resigned it to Mr. DuPray, from wnom Mr. Bald- 

 win wrested it upon his return to Minnesota, holding It against the 

 efforts of Mr. Larpenteur and Col. TJline; he struck his colors to Dr. 

 Day, who was In turn challenger! unsuccessfully by Gen. Green. Mr. 

 Zimmerman was mure fortunate than the latter, and wen and held it 

 successfully against William Golcher, Mr. Hnddieston, Dr. Day and S. 

 Lee Davis. Lol. dine forced him to surrender it himself iu turn, after 

 defending it against Kennedy. He then resigned it to R. Warner, 

 from whom Capt. Hodman took It. Lieut. Hainner, altor winning It 

 from the former, resigued It to Mr. Baldwin, In whose possession it 

 now remains, Mr. Beaupre having failed to take it from him yester- 

 day. Two years' possession will indole the holder to claim it. as his 

 property. The following Is the score made yesleiday :

 advertised. Are they good made guns for the money. Ans. Guns are 

 made by C G. Bonehill, Birmingham, Very good guns for the money.

 for me I would certainly have shot her, for I was ready for It, and never 

 saw her act bo before. Ans. Prudence dictates that when a dog Is to 

 be used in the heat of summer the animai;should not be over-fed. Your 

 pointer fell over from something like apoplexy, caused by over-exer- 

 tion. Reduce food and give some quinine, 2 grains, every other day 

 for a week. 



A. D. S., Fort Johnson.— What 1b the difference betweheen t ordinary 

 and the so called " chilled'' shot ? is the metal of the latter an alloy ? 

 What Is the specific gravity as compared with the former shot 7 If 

 there be a moderate difference In this latter respect It will in a measure 

 account for different penetration, the lighter shot— same charge, etc — 

 having the greatest IniUal velocity, the heavier, the greatest range. 

 Ans. The great difference arises from the hardness of the shot. When 

 s riklng an object chilled retain their Bpherical form and do not flatten. 

 Ic Is an alloy, possibly a compound of bismuth, or some antimony not 

 differing very much from type metal, and are a tilfle lighter, but so 

 little as to make no appreciable difference as to velocity. We should 

 think, then, that greater penetration would arise from the shot keeping 

 its form. 



J. M. B., Eldred, N. Y.— The trout streams here are obstructed by 

 wooden racks which catch every fish that moves down the streams. 

 They are pnt in by the owners of the land generally. Is there a State 

 Law to prevent this 7 Ans. Section 19 of the Game Law, Chapter 

 74, covers the case. It reads: "No person shall at any time catch any 

 speckled Trout, with any device save that of angling, except In waters 

 which are wholly private, and only then by permission of tho owner 

 thereof ; nor shall any person set or draw any net, any Belne of any de- 

 scription, nor UBe any set-line in lake, pond, or Btream Inhabited by 

 brook trout, or have on the shores thereon, any net, setae, set- Ine, or 

 other unlawful device for the taklug of fish except as above provided. 

 And any person who shall offend against any of the provisions of this 

 Bection shall, for each offense, forfeit a sum not less than $10 nor more 

 than $25, In thedlscretlon of thecourt having cognizanceof the offense; 

 and all nets, seines, and other devices forbidden by this section are 

 hereby declared contraband, and any peraon fimllug the same In any 

 place where they are forbidden, is authorized to destroy such contra- 

 band articles, and no action for damage shall He against him for suoa 

 destruction.
