—The Philadelphia cricket clubs, as usual, close the 

 American cricket season by bearing off the palm over all 

 competitors as being the most skillful, successful and 

 enterprising exponents of the game in America. The 

 brilliant career of the Philadelphia eleven in the Halifax 

 tourney stands as a bright event in the history of the game 

 in this country, and to "the young cricketers of the Quaker 

 City belongs the honor of having shown the English players 

 ttt Halifax how ably their " American cousins" can desport 

 themselves in the English National game. 



Beiow is given ihe total result of the play of one of the 

 most distinguised home clubs, the Gerinaulown Club, of 

 Philadelphia, which contributed three of her best players 

 to the club which visited Halifax, viz: Messrs. John Large, 

 F. E. Brewster and R. Nelson Caldwell. 



The Germantown has been the most successful of any of 

 the Philadelphia clubs this year, losing but two matches, 

 and both those in the Spring season. The first match lost 

 t ad - been declared off on account of the rain, but the 

 weather clearing a game was played, to the disadvantage 

 of the Gr. C. C, who were short of some of their best 

 players. 



The average presented would not do full justice to the 

 players if we did not nieution that some of the men had 

 scored excellent innings in games outside of the club 

 matches. John Large especially distinguished himself, 

 scoring in four innings with one not out, a total of 182 

 runs. Brewster and Caldwell also played several fine in- 

 nings, as did also John W. Hoffman. The matches played 

 were as follows:

— W. Perkins, the champion walker of England, has 

 matched himself to walk eight miles in one hour for £100 

 a side, A. Poster backing Time. The match is fixed for 

 decision at the Lillie Bridge Grounds, London, England, 

 December 21. 



—Professor Judd commenced his attempt to walk 500 

 miles in six days and a half at the American instilue last 

 Monday. He has been preparing himself for this arduous 

 task for the past two months, so if it is in the power of 

 human endurance and pluck to accomplish the task, he 

 will, we think, be sucessful. 



—Weston walked fifty miles in 9 hours, 38 minutes and 

 58 seconds at Newark last week. His first mile was made 

 in 12:44; his second was in 10:58; third, 10:51; fourth, 

 10:45; eleventh, 10:35; and last, 11:14. The first twelve 

 miles was walked in 2 hours, 11 minutes, 52 seconds. 



—Professor Judd gave a walking exhibition at the 

 American Institute last Wednesday evening, preparatory 

 to his great feat of walking 500 miles in six days and a 

 half. He completed his attempt at walking live miles in 

 the following time : — 



First mile 10 31 



Second mile 10 87

Cohannet, Taunton, Mass.— Books out of print. All remittances of 

 Post office orders, checks, Ac., should be sent to the order of FonEST 

 and Stbkam PtiBusitiMiCo. of New York. 



R. S. G.,Hnrtford,Conn.— 1. Can you inform me whether one shooting 

 for the market in the West has to have a license; have seen something 

 to that effect, but nothing definite? Ans. Certainly not; but in many 

 States permission has to be obtained from landowners. 3. Would also like 

 to know the nearest ground from Chicago where good snipe shooting 

 may be had? Ans. Calumet. 



1). H., New York.— Your dog has no doubt mange, for which treat as 

 directed under Kennel in Forest and Stream of Dec. 3. The sore car 

 speaks loudly of canker, in connection wil.lt his low condition. For this 

 we refer you to issue of last week, under Kennel. We should suspect 

 worms also, a remedy for which you will find in Answers to Correspond- 

 ents, Dec. 3. We cannot tell if your pointer be simon pure, unless we see 

 him. The Spanish pointer, however, has a much shorter nose than the 

 English, and is often "cleft of nostril." 



Vajsnish, Milwaukee.— "Mohawk" recommends the following varnish 

 for gttns, and while very effective says that it can in no way injure, the 

 barrels, and is easily wiped off: Take of resin 2 drachms, of Mndsrae b 

 3 drachms, of gum lac 2} scruples, and heat them gradually until thor- 

 oughly melted and mixed; then add 2 drachms of turpentine, and heat 

 further, after which add three drachms of recl.ifred alcohol. Filter thoi

of the gun with a 



:orked bottles. It should be ap- 



Jl brush. For gnus that are put 



ly from season to season it will be found of much valne. 



oating.— 1. What sort of a gun is the Remington $45 breech loader? 



t a safe and reliable gun? Ans. Excellent gnn. We have freqnent- 



ecommended it. 2. What sort of a boat, is the "liegeman's Patent 



•table Folding Boat." that 1 see advertised in your paper? Is it worth 



anything? Would not the canvass covering become soaked with water 



id get heavy? Ans. We believe in liegeman's boat. The inventor 



claims that it is impervious to water. It can be folded to a small compass. 



As a portable boat for pond an 1 stream work, we should recommend it, 



but would not bet on it against a Fair Haven "Sharpie" in the wind. 



J. H. K., Washington.— My sister's Maltese cat is sick— a bad scab, or 

 mange, has spread over his head and neck, leaving the skin hard, very 

 much wrinkled, and hot. He indulges in a constant scratch and mewing 

 around the house; inflamed eyes; 18 months old. What disease is 

 this? He has been rubbed down with lard and sulphur, and sulphur 

 given in his milk, but all to no purpose. What shall I do next? Can 

 you give a sood wash receipt, not greasy, for the skin, and a safe powder 

 lo mix in his milk for a drink? Ans. We are not in the cat line, but if 

 the Maltese belonged to us we should wash with carbolic soap, or a de- 

 coction of wdiitc oak bark and alum, for mange. 



T. L. T.. Dutchess county.-,In a recent answer to a correspondent 

 who desired to know whereto get black bass to stock ponds with, you 

 said get them from from Luke Erie. Can't you be a little more, explicit 

 and tell us how to get them? Ans. Black bass can be got in any num- 

 bers during the Summer months at Cape Vincent, or Chaumout Bay, or 

 Dexter. They are plenty in nearly all the bays and rivers on both shores 

 of lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence, and nearly all of the rivers and 

 bays of Lake Erie, and Detroit Kivcr, and Lakes Huron i>nd Michigan. 

 They arc caught in hand nets, and can be had in any numbers. The Sum- 

 mer is;the time to stock your waters with black bass. They can be car- 

 ried safely by using ice, 



L. G. A., Mansfield, Pa.— 1. Will some of your correspondents tell me, 

 through your columns, whether a breech loading rifle will shoot as close 

 as a muzzle loading rifle? In cut and tvrist the cut. should be just as shal- 

 low as can be, and give the ball twist. The twist should he once in 

 twenty-eight inches In length of barrel. I have run the thing into the 

 ground by too much twist, also with too little, and And that once round 

 tches is the best nniform twist, and my opinion is that no 

 ithoutapatch as close as one with. Ans. 1. That is now a 

 , and one which the recent contest between four of the 

 id four Americans was to decide. 2, Where can wild 

 pigeons be bought for trap shooting? Ana; Writo to J. E. Long, 118 

 Woodward avenue, Detroit, for information. 



St. John, New Brunswick.— Where can I obtain pickerel for slocking 

 purposes? Ans. They could be found in nearly all the bays bordering 

 on both shores of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River. They can 

 be bought of the fishermen. Any party wishing to stock ponds with 

 pickerel can get them by taking some cans (if he is in Canada) and going 

 io any of the rivers or bays from Prcsque Isle Bay to Trescott, on the 

 Canada side of the lake, and to any of the bays or rivers on the American 

 side, fOom llio Genessee River to Ogdensbttrg. They can get all they 

 want from early Spring to late Fall. Do not your own lakes contain 

 pickerel? If they do not, your Province, is fortunate. We would advise 

 you not to introduce them.
