— According to a Canadian paper, Gordon B. Pattee, of the 

 Metropolitan Rifle Club, Ottawa, made (13 points out of a pos- 

 sible 70, at 90(1 and 1,000 yards, on Monday of last week, with 

 a small bore Kemington, shooting from the shoulder. Who 

 can do a similar feat among the JJreedmoor company ? Even 

 at any position, shooting such a score would be very fair. 

 Mr. Pattee ought certainly to study up a good position and 

 join the next Canadian team that may visit our American 

 Wimbledon.

 progress at the oil-hand range, two teams from the Wash- 

 ington Artillery making lively work at 200 yards with their 

 Bpringflelds, and doing an amount of egg-making, which 

 would insure the success of an oological collection. Isine 

 goose -eggs in ten shots is rather loose work, and yet many 

 of tTncIo Sam's showed themselves capable of it. The scores 

 ran: 



ir. Lon°- won the badee with the following three scores 

 of a possible 100 points— 90, 93, 94. Mr. W. R. Brown 

 it twice with 93, Mr. A. Oats had it with 93 and 98, and 

 Mr. T. I. Jewerson had it once with 93. The shooting was 

 done in lying position, at a distance of 100 feet, with a 

 Wesson ride. Next Monday the club will shoot for a prize

Rochester, Minn., June 7, 1877.— At the annual meeting of 

 the Rochester Sportsmen's Club, the following officers were 



elected: Hon. J. V. Daniels, Prcs. ; Br. B.C. Cross. Vice 

 Pres. ; L. E. Crane, Sec and Treas. , E. J. Graves and Henry 

 Kalb, Exec. Committee. Last week the club senl a member 

 to the State Fishery at Red Wing, with an order for 2,000 

 salmon, which came safely and were placed in our si reams. 

 Millions of pigeons are roosting about IS miles north, and our 

 xecutive committee are making arrangements for a 'series of 

 hoots on the 1st and 3d Fridays of each month. We have as 

 good a range as there is in the state, and propose to ! 

 sport in that line before chicken season La-gins. Alkiit. 



Ohio.— West Alexandria, June 5th, 1877.— Small game is 

 plenty in this section of the country. Quail, rabbits, squirrels, 

 ducks and pigeons (in season), and occasionally a woodcock. 

 The former are more plenty this year than ever before known, 

 owing to the law prohibiting their destruction for i ■, , < ;, 

 which was enacted by the. Stale Leaislalun m thel'all ■ ' l^i". 

 The law will expire this fall, when'aniateur sportsmen antici- 

 pate a good time. There are no noted craek -.huh- annuel 

 here, but we have several very efficient marksmen who, in 

 course of time, will undoubtedly prove experts^ 

 tion of organizing an amateur shooting club is being agilated 

 with indications of success. A pigeon match la- 

 ranged to take place here in a few weeks to test the -kill ,, 

 our wing shots. Will let .you know the result of the match 

 when it occurs. HtrstrEB. 



Kansas. — Oira/rd, June int.— Enclosed vou will find a 

 photograph of two setter pups five weeks old": the dl 

 call Sport, the other Nop, and expect lo get some good hunt- 

 ing out of them this fall on quail. There will be tiny amount 

 of them this year, and plenty of chickens also, but they will be 

 a little late, that is, the mast of them, on account of the farm- 

 ers burning the grass off. Some of them are at it, yet, and I 

 am satisfied from the young chickens I saw the cither day 

 that there have been thousands of them destroyed; I think it, 

 is a shame. Their excuse is to kill the grasshoppers, My 

 opinion is, there ate none in the old grass, and all that 

 hatch out are on ground that hns been plowed, or on bare 

 ground. Ceo. W. CnUMFoKu.

I notice in your issue of this week several articles on 

 " deer butchering:" and I would like to say a word or I wn 

 about it. I know of but one way to stop this wholesale 

 slaughter, and that is, to appoint several trustworthy guides 

 as State game constables, with power to arrest violators of the 

 law anywhere in the State. Several influential men here have 

 promised to see to it, and it is lo be hoped that the plan will 

 be carried out. Mishe Mokwa.
