FOREST AND STREAM, 
Work For Orange County Supervisors.— New York, 
July 31—Editor Forest and Stream. —If, outlie 1st of Sep¬ 
tember, or any other day, until snow falls, the constables, 
or the game protective association of Orange County, will 
send a detective to Hom-oe Station and Greenwood and 
Southfields Station, they will see every morning shipped 
from those three stations from twenty-five to one hundred 
trapped partridges. Those three stations are in Orange 
Counti'. The last Legislature made trapping, or even Bet¬ 
ting a trap, a misdemeanor, and there is no reason why 
those trappers should not be indicted by a Grand Jury the 
same as any other highwayman or burglar. Let those 
same officials do their duty and thereby show that they 
are not afraid of a YoumanVr a Conkling.

Wisconsin— Madison July 28.— Editor Forest and 
Stream: —Almost every day our fish laws are violated 
with impunity, fish speared and netted with a disregard 
to law that is “astonishing. An organization has just been 
completed in our city that will no doubt do much good 
for the protection and preservation of fish in the lakes of 
Dave county. A constitution and by-laws have been 
adopted. The members of the association are live, pro¬ 
gressive men, and will leave no means untried to see that 
our laws are properly enforced. The. officers are : Presi¬ 
dent, S. W. Botkin; Vice-President, M. C. Clark; Secre¬ 
tary, W. G. Dunn; Treasurer, Dr. Win. Jacobs.

The Boston Noms de Fusil.—A member of the Massa¬ 
chusetts Rifle Association writes as follows : 
Boston, July 27 .— Editor Forest and Stream :—I notice 
that our rule which allows gentlemen to enjoy the pleas¬ 
ure of rifle shooting without advertising it (perhaps to his 
injury), is not liked by some. Should any club desire to 
find out what we are about, we shall be most happy, with 
a short notice, to accommodate them, and we shall be 
highly pleased if some club or clubs did really want the 
information. But we believe that in our weekly matches 
it shall be optional with the participant whether our local 
papers shall give his name or not. Boston has not been 
.quite educated up to seeing a man’s name in the weekly 
list of rifle shooters without a shrug. We do not quite 
all believe that a man can’t take a few hours of healthy 
pleasure and do his business properly. Therefore, to 
accommodate the unbelievers, we have made the nde for 
our rifle shooters. We think that it injures no one. Our 
averages are made from our work, not from our published 
scores. 
Gallery Practice. — Boston. — The regular monthly 
prize shoot is ended at the Mammoth Gallery, with some 
of the most remarkable shooting ever done in the gallery. 
< Mr. O. M. Jewell heads the list with a clean score of eight 
consecutive bull's-eyes, in addition to the extra score of 20 . 
H. A. Pickering, of the Walpole Rifle Club, and Mr. E. F. 
Richardson, of the Massachusetts Rifle Association, are 
tied for the second and third prizes, both making good 
scores of 39 each. Following is the summary ; 150 feet;

Walnut Hill, July 30.— There was the usual attendance 
of riflemen and spectators at Walnut Hill, to-day, and 
again fine work was performed at the long-range distance 
in the Spirit of the Times match. The weather, however, 
was intolerably warm, the thermometer registering 9b 
under the shelter tents, and the absence of strong breezes 
by no means added to the comfort of the marksmen. The 
wind only just stirred the flags on the ranges, but some 
consolation was felt in the fact that a better opportunity 
was thus afforded for the making of high scores, the six 
leading contestants securing an average of 203 4-7. The 
result stood:—
