to kindness, patted her, rubbed her neck, spoke to her mildly 

 and soon convinced her she would not be ill-used if sbe left 

 off her bad tricks. In a week she became as quiet as any of 

 my horned cattle. Girls, never marry a man who is cruel to 

 dumb animals. Phiup Vibeet.

Reteikvbk. — A.n English retriever, represented as a perfect 

 water dog, is advpiliaed in another column. From the photo 

 we have seen we should imagine him to be very handsome 



and intelligent. 



Dog Pound.— A. gentkman of this city while shooting on 

 the '• Big Fine," New Jersey, on July 4, found a very hand- 

 some black and white setter dog evidently exhausted by the 

 heat and severe exercise. The dog was properly cared for, and 

 should this meet his owner's eye he can obtain information as 

 to his whereabouts by applying at the office of this paper. 



Fox Hunting in England.— During the season the Hey- 

 throp bouoda have been out one hundred times. Have killed 

 105 loxes, and run to ground 35 more. Frost and snow pre- 

 vented the hounds hunting on 31 days. 



—Mr. H. W. Abbott, Jr., of Nahant, Mass., claims the 

 name Roy for his English setter dog pup, whelped May, 1879, 

 by Mr. Kogers' Fox, out of Mr. Sharp's Zoie.

 strong and handsome.

GAME IN SEASON FOR JULY. 



Jnly is a close month for game, except as to woodcock, in certain 

 States. 



jy New Yoke Law.— The open season tor woodcock in New York 

 State begins August 1, throughout the State. 



An Excellent Peojbot.— It is proposed, and we believe 

 permission has been obtained from the Supervisors of Suffolk 

 Co. to cut a canal through the narrow strip of land which 

 separates the waters of Great South Bay from those of 

 Shinnecock Bay. The advantages to sportsmen if this con- 

 nection is made will be very great, as besides the prospect of 

 continuing the inlet from the sea to the latter bay, which is 

 now open, it will enable the well appointed boats of the 

 former to enter Shinnecock for the purposes of gunning and 

 fishing. The necessary amount to complete this work is 

 being raised by subscription and we understand it is to be 

 prosecuted with vigor. £ 



Hunting Hoen.— In response to "L. L. H.'s" inquiry, 

 two weeks ago for the tin horn used by hunters, a Bath, Me., 

 correspondent writes that the horn described is the "fog- 

 horn," used by coasters and fishermen. Instead of the old- 

 fashioned born, a brass reed is fitted in the mouth-piece, after 

 the principle of the clarionet or accordion ; and this is what 

 he wants. They can be found at any ship chandlery store on 

 the Atlantic coast. 



Maine— Machiis, June 28.— Cold and wet this spring, but 

 think game prospects good. A young fawn was caught last 

 week by a young man in Whitneyville— a beauty— but it was 

 soon set at liberty, for it was too young to live without a 

 mother. s - B - H - 



New Jbhsev— Newark, July 6.— The Joe Miller Camping 

 Club of this city, have gone to the Shawangunk Mountains, 

 where they propose to lingesa week fishing, shooting and en- 

 joying themselves. The members whose names were 

 booked for the trip were : Joseph C. Miller, Dr. Gedicke, 0. 

 H Crane George Stroebtrfl, E. Horschel, A. W. Fr«zee, 

 George Arnold, Edward DdDiels, Frank B. Allen F. A. Rig- 

 bv A Schieber, Charles Graves, Frank Nichols, Ed. Grover, 

 J Grover The Lively Camping Club at Greenwood Lake 

 have named their resting place Camp Solomon. They are 

 now enjoying themselves immensely. 



South Amboy, July 7.— A woodcock was picked up on the 

 2d almost in rue village by Mr. Wm. Brash, of this place. It 

 was seen to fly against the telegraph wires, and when picked 

 up life was not quite extinct. It was m poor condition. 

 Fair bags have already been made around here. Old " Dad " 

 Applegate promises lots of quail and rabbits for the fall shoot- 

 ing. A - C - W ' 



Delaware— Delaware City, July, 5.— The woodcock 

 are upon us in full force, and the sport is immense. They 

 have not been so numerous in tms section for years. Could 

 we only succeed in keeping the market-gunners in the traces 

 Of the game law, there would be even better shooting than 

 there is. Hundreds of "long-bills" have been killed and 

 marketed during the latter part of June. We know they 

 are very palatable, but if our Fhiladeiphia (game market for 

 this place) friends would be convinced, we are quite sure 

 they could enjoy them just as well in July as in June. The 

 thing is as broad as it is long, for the sooner they are hunted 

 the Surlier they are gone. E. Von Ctjlin. 



Vibgtnia— Rawley Springs, June 28.— The season for deer 

 opens August 1, and the mountaineers tell me that there are 

 nnuBual numbers in the woods. C P. S. 



Ohio — Aurora, July i. — First day of woodcock shooting 

 in Ohio. More birds than lust year, and better developed. 

 C H. Root, W. North and myself bagged eighteen birds in 

 two hours. H. H. B. 



—A Dougall gun has won the grand prize of London, June 

 16, in the hands of Mr. Dingman, and also won the champion- 

 ship at Paris, on June 18, in the hands of the Duke de Rian- 

 sares. 



SHOOTING THE MIGRATORY QUAIL. 



Editoe Forest and Stream : 



The quails come to the Island of Sicily from the North of 

 Africa in the month of April. They remain near shores till 

 the month of May, when they retire to the mountains for the 

 summer. There they breed and remain until the young 

 birds are strong enough to bear the return journey to Africa 

 in the month of September, October, etc. The birds come 

 in with the northwest wind at night, they feed in the early 

 morning and squat near the feeding grounds at mid-day, 

 when they will not flush until a dog, or a loot of the sports- 

 man is upon them. But the most important fact of all 

 regarding the shooting of this delicious bird is that the 

 sportsman must be promptly on the spot before daylight and 

 must not enter the field until he can clearly see a bird flying, 

 for if he cross the fields even without any dogs before the 

 time above mentioned he will lose the birds, because the 

 quail will fly in the dark at the least voice and, whistling, 

 will carry away with him every quail on the field. This is 

 our experience all over Sicily. It is a heautiful sight on the 

 top of Mount Pellegrinn, only four miles from the cily of 

 Palermo, to see two hundred sportsmen with their dogs 

 stretched in line waiting for the watch word " Go" which 

 proceeds from the oldest of the brotherhood, to go in at once 

 for the slaughter. 



The birds are shot singly in the spring and not in flocks as 

 in the autumn season. These flocks, however, are not so 

 large as the flocks of American quails. The bird flies quicker 

 than the American bird on account of it being a stronger bird 

 of the two. The flesh is very delicate and juicy, and it will 

 be in my estimation a valuable addition to American game. 

 Prof. G. Prizzo.

PIGEON MATCHES. 



Send in Scores Early.— To insure insertion in current 

 issues all scores should reach us Mondays or Tuesdays. Re- 

 ports should therefore be mailed upon the same day the 

 matches are shot. Promptness on the part of correspondents 

 will materially enhance the proper record of field contests.
