Came Laws m Indiana.— The sportsmen of Indium, 

 are busily engaged in organizing a State Sporlsmcns' Asso- 

 elation, in order to provide better means for the protection 

 Ol game ami fish. A large meeting was held at Indiana- 

 polis last week tor Ihis purpose, .lodge Byron K. Elliott 

 m the chair, and 8. T. Heck, Secretary. On motion a com- 

 mtltee of live was appointed to inquire into the proposed 

 amendments before the legislatures, and to draft such Peso- 

 lution* as they deem necessary, to he submitted to the Leg- 

 islature at its present session. Mr. Winston P. Noble sug- 

 gested that a committee bo appoiutcd to look after the 

 game lav,- especially, and allow the first committee lo at- 

 fenfl ttj the fish law exclusively. Judge Elliott was in 

 MBforpJ this separate committee. He also desired that 

 some law be passed for the protection of huutin«- do^s \ 

 committee, consisting of Mr. S. T. Beck, Mr Alex. c'jamV 

 son.^Mr. E. Bomharger, Judge B. K. Elliott and Mr. O. 

 II. Porter was appointed to correspond with clubs for the 

 purpose of calling a convention of delegates to (pi m a State 

 Association. The meeting then adjourned. 



for all sportsmcus' goods, out-door resorts, hotels and 

 routes of travel, We print landlords' cards at mos. reason

 our readers. Owners of shooting boxes and angling resorts 

 will be greatly benefitted by keeping their cards in our 

 paper during the entire season, there being a uniform 

 charge of *10 for any period not c.eceding'six months. 

 V e wish to make this a special feature for the present vear 

 It will save us the trouble of answering live hundred in-

—The Missouri Sportsmen's Club and Game Law Asso- 

 ciation, of St. Louis, has been in existence one year. It has a 

 membership of over one hundred prominent 'business and 

 professional gentlemen. Through its influence, the last 

 Legislature passed laws protecting game and fish, which 

 if properly enforced, will be beneficial to the State. B is 

 now raising funds to secure suitable club rooms that shall 

 be a credit to its members and the city, and funds have

To Advertisers.— Dealers in the various descriptions 

 >f goods required by sportsmen for the coming season 

 ro unwittingly doing themselves damage by delaying to 

 .dvertise. Wc who are in constant communication with

 eumi i ■menis perfectly. We know that it is their habit to 

 repa.ro fi R , lr 0UtIlls alld S( . lcel lbeil . localities many weeks 



advance of the season, aud they are. even now address- 

 ig daily letters of inquiry to us as to preferred Summer 



1 angling grountls. Rifle clubs, loo, are prepar- 



ig for practice at the ranges as soon as warmer weather 

 in mits. Boat builders are receiving orders for yachts and 

 nail craft. Xew ball clubs are organizing, and require 

 icir out lits. If dealers will only examine our Correspon- 

 ints Column each week, they will see how multifarious 

 i the wants of our readers, and how little they seem to 

 ; informed as to where the articles they need are to be 

 gained, We freely give such assistance as we can, but 

 e think it the duty of tradesmen to advertise their goods, 

 id in l his way serve themselves and intending purchasers' 

 ery often letters of inquiry carry the apology that the 

 nters have examined our columns in vain for what they 

 in!. Beally, advertisers do not yet appreciate the value 



FouiiST and Si ream as a medium, or they would use 



columns more liberally. Notwithstanding, we have re- 

 nted!}' published the voluntary testimony of such firms as 

 idrew Clerk & 06,, Kimball & Co., Ward Burton &Co 

 . H. Holabird, C. F. Orvis, Frank Good, and Clarke & 

 ider, that our paper amply repaid their investments, and 

 rapidly increasing circulation week by week makes the 

 aranty still more positive.
