 peculiar dehght. In Baaing a, l Ibe little fellows oat tnevery next season. 

 II, is a. f:n t that they bare been known to go out with roil ana creel, 

 and ufter spending the day along some of the waters in the neighbor- 

 hood, return borne wiih two or lUreB little fellows In their basket, e&Ch 

 about ttree to four inches in icngib. Shame! Xow, we would ask ; 

 Can any stream be restocked when the inhabitants allow ail these 

 tilings to pass uurebnked? What we desire Is a more healthy public 

 sentiment. Let it he known that no one can use a net in our waters 

 wl'h Impunity. And it Is the interest- of every person to see H*.a 

 wholesome laws are made, and alEti that lhey be enforced. I would 

 recommend that any man found with a trout in hia basket leBs than six 

 inches in length be fined severely. If something or this kind be not 

 done there win be no trout lelt in our streams to breed, and they mus 

 become very scarce, to say trie least. It is very gratifying to learn 

 through "Anun.eiiter" that there are some streams in our State which 

 have been stocked by the Commissioners, where the proprietors of The 

 brooks retpect the law which prohibits Ashing in such stream for three 

 years, and will neither do so themselves nor allow others to. Cannot 

 we Induce BO'neof them to emigrate to the va'ley of the Musconet- 

 cong? I should be happy to meet "Augmentor." I e wrlies from 

 Bloomsbnry, so he probably knows who I am. If he will call we win 

 t ■■lb the matter over, and possibly devise some means to increase the 

 supply of our game fish. A, A. Anukhson.

Burlington, Vt., ts. Saratoga, N. Y.— A very excellent 

 long-'ange match was fought on the 12th inst. between teams 

 of tight men from Ibe Burlington Rifle Olub, of Vermont, 

 and the Saratoga Rifle Club, of Saratoga Springs, N. Y. 

 The scoring on each side was, in tbe aggregate, remarkably 

 fine, and that of the BurliDgLon Club in particular shows a 

 total which puts it in advance of anything shown in the 

 Eleho Shield mulches at Wimbledon. An average of 207 was 

 secured, on a day which was iu many respects unfavorable. 

 With changing light and varying winds from one to five 

 points between shots, a thunder shower, too, came down to 

 bother the winners, causing a general derangement of eleva- 

 tion. The full score stood :

and the atmosphere warmer, but the wind again changed five 

 points, rind windage was constantly watched. Elevations 

 also bad to be carefully looked after, as the sun shone 

 brightly and the mirage was of the liveliest kind and the 

 "bull ' looked ragged. The men, however, were shooting in 

 gobu 1 form, and 'the white disc was shown very oftea At 

 the long distance, 1,000 yards, the wind again changed to 

 10 o'clock west, unsteady and hard lo manage. Surprises 

 were in order, and the "mag" and "blackbird," and even 

 "tmaccounlables," were signalled. Mr. Gerrish finished with 

 218, the largest, score made this season at, Walnut Hill; Jack- 

 son followed with a 210, and Brown, with an " unaccount- 

 able" from a bursted shell, got 209. The scores stood j

On Ibe 18th the ninth renewed competition in the Spirit of 

 the Times match, at 800, 900 and 1000 yards, took place. 

 The day waa seemingly a capital one for rifle shooting ; just 

 cool enough to satisfy the most fastidious marksman, a clear 

 atmosphere, a good light and a wind which indicated 1 o'clock 

 from the northeast at Hie beginning. Executive Officer Hub- 

 bard called the match promptly, and hardly had the gen fie- 

 ri their positions upon the tiling points when the 

 wind suddenly backed lo 12 o'clock, and came down the 

 range strong and chilly from the north, blowing olrectly into 

 the faces of the riflemen. Bight marksmen found the " buh" 

 on their firm shot. At 900 yards the light became better,

Mammoth Rifle Gau-eky— Boston, June 21. — The regular 

 monthly prize shoot is progressing finely, some excellent 

 shooting being done this last week. Mr. D. F. Little was 

 nearly successful in getting the extra prize of $20 for eight 

 consecutive bull's-eyes, his third shot being a twelve o'clock 

 nipper. This places Mr. Little second, as he outranks Mr. 

 Hollis, who held that, position last week. Many members of 

 the Massachusetts Association have visited the gallery for 

 practice. The scores show at 150 feet, 8 rounds, possible 40:

Washington, D. G.—June 21. — The Columbias had another 

 bad long-ranee day for their third June badge, open to all 

 comers at 1,000, 1,100 and 1,200 yards, to-day. A choppy, 

 fish-tail wind, with alternate sudden gusts and partial calms, 

 blew from 5 o'clock to 9 o'clock, during the firing. The new 

 member, Doctor S. I. Scott, late of the Montgomery County 

 Club, bore out his recently acquired reputation and carried off 

 his third badge in three weeks by the good score of 189, anil 

 dritig much finer shooting than the day promised. Col. Burn- 

 side came next with 176, although he has done 19 points bel- 

 ter in practice on a decent wind. Fartello and Adce were 

 unfortunate in their ammunition, the former's new powder 

 shooting hard and wild, while the latter had many hang-fires 

 on his last two distances. Mr. Laid's GO at 1,200 yards, was, 

 in view of the cork-screw wind, an admirable proof of good 

 judgment- Mr Lauritzen's bad luck disheartened him, and 

 he withdrew from the contest and record early on the last 

 stage. The following are the completed scores :

The Adee badge will be shot for on the 4th of July, at 10 

 o'clock ; distances, 1,000, 1,100 and 1,200 yards ; open to all 

 comers barring professional riflemen. With fair wind and 

 weather a close contest and good scores may be expected. 



The Savannah Todknamest. — The secretary of the Sa- 

 vannah Volunteers, writing of the forthcoming contest there 

 on July 4, says : 



The contest will, by all appearance, be a success. Informa- 

 tion about hotels, etc., is asked for daily, and from twelve to 

 fifteen teams will enter. The Sharps Rifle Co. have made us a 

 present of an officers' military rifle and the Remington Rifle 

 Co. of a beautiful mid-range rifle. As the targets at" the Schu- 

 etzen Park were not sufficient in number, improvements have 

 been made, and we will have sixieen double frame targets at 

 200 yards, four at 300 yards, and others at 500 yards, and all 

 will be connected by telephones with the shooting stand. 

 The First Volunteer Kegiment of Georgia will have their an- 

 nual prize shooting on the 4lh. The Republican Blues, a 

 company of the regiment, and also the Clinch Rifles, of Au- 

 gusta, Git., will cume down in a body, making the occasion a 

 grand Southern shooting match. We will further, besides 

 the rifles and team prizes, oiler prizes for individual shooting, 

 to Which I ho business men of this city are donating liberally. 

 It would lie very gratifying lo the committee to count a team 

 or teams from the North among the visitors on this occasion ; 

 and allow me to say that nothing should be left undone to 

 make their stay agreeable.
