Schaffer's Score. — Boston, Aug. 10th.—Mr. Editor: 
— In your issue of August 7th, I notice a paragraph rela¬ 
tive to R. F. Schaffer's score at glass ball shooting, which 
lias caused considerable comment among sportsmen of 
this vicinity; the majority of them thinking the score 
was made in three successive entries; which was not the 
case. Mr. Shaffer taking advantage of its being a re-en¬ 
try match by shooting about 85 scores, and the three high¬ 
est, scores being selected, viz : 29, 30, 30; total, 89; 30 
single, 30 rotary, 30 double-balls, he obtained the prize, 
which was an elegant one. I consider the shooting of 
other members of the Raymond Sportsmen’s Club far su¬ 
perior to Mr. Schaffer’s. For instance, the scores of W. H. 
Harrison and E. E. Johnson ; the former with 10 entries, 
breaking 82 out of 90, and the latter Avith 8 entries, break¬ 
ing 80 out of 90. 
If Mr. Schaffer is a lad of 17 summers, his winters must 
have been very severe. PULL.

Washington, D. C.—Aug. 27/ft.—A large party of 
sportsmen came over from Baltimore to witness and par¬ 
ticipate in the shooting. Messrs. Kell, Engle, Todd and 
Wertsner, are regarded as the crack shots of Baltimore, 
but they found our boys competent to afford them very 
interesting amusement. Mr. Mills was the only shooter 
who used a twelve gauge gun, but his new “Nichols & 
Leferer ” fully justified hi6 confidence in it, as will be 
seen by his score :— 
First match ; 25 birds, 31 yards rise ; $50 aside. 
Decided to draw the money and shoot the match over 
again in Baltimore next Wednesday.

Mills and Wagner are our best shots, and the above 
score, is far below their average; attributable, doutbless, to 
their being too much fatigued from previous shooting.

—C. A. Lewis, 310 Washington Market, had on his 
stand yesterday a pompano weighing twenty-three 
pounds, the largest fish of the kind of which we have 
any record of. 
The International Fishery Exhibition.— We have 
received blanks for applications for space at the coming 
International Fishery Exhibition, to be held at Berlin in 
April, 1880. These applications must be sent in by Jan. 
1. We shall be happy to supply them to intending ex¬ 
hibitors. 
Neav York. —Greenwood Lake bass-fishing is said to 
be excellent just now. 
Oohoes, Aug. 21s/.—The only fish we have are black 
bass and pike. In the spring we catch some good baskets 
of pike. I use a fly made of turkey feathers, red body and 
about twice the size of bass fly, which they take readily. 
About the first of July bass take the fly good, but it is 
hard fishing. You have to wade up to your neck, with 
the water running like a mill-race. You hardly ever get 
one that weighs over two pounds, but the pike run larger. 
I heard of one being taken last Saturday that weighed 
eight pounds. Was interested in reading your Godbout 
sketches ; Avould like to hear more. You said you used 
double hooks for salmon. I have used them for years, 
and find them just the thing for fishing where the water 
is swift. I will close by saying that I think Forest and 
Stream is the best paper printed, and I welcome it as I 
welcome the birds and flowers in May. H. Mills. 
Staten Island Fishing Troubles. —For a long time 
back the seine fishermen of Staten Island, in defiance of 
an act recently passed by the Board of Supervisors, have 
done much to injure the sport of many sportsmen who 
run down to the island in the season to take fish with the 
line. Abram. Cole, an old fisherman, was arrested two or 
three weeks ago, and taken before Justice Vaughn for 
trial, for violation of the act. His counsel contended 
that as the Legislature had passed a law relative to fish¬ 
ing in the waters of Richmond County, the Supervisors’ 
act was inoperative. Counsel for the prosecution held 
that the local law in this case did not conflict with the 
State law. The jury were unable to agree, and were dis¬ 
charged. The case was again before Justice Vaughn on 
Saturday. Cole pleaded guilty, and the Court imposed a 
fine of $15, defendant promising to obey the law in the 
future. The jury was made up of residents of Vander¬ 
bilt’s Landing, the feeling of the Gifford Station people 
being too strong against the seine fishermen to warrant 
an impartial verdict. If Cole had not pleaded guilty, the 
Justice would have imposed the full fine, $50, as called 
for by the act. 
Massachusetts— West Stockbridge, Sept 1st.— We have 
had a splendid season for trout; think there has been 
more caught, and large ones too, than any year since my 
remembrance. Last Sunday a loaded freight car stood 
on a bridge near the State Line station and sometime dur¬ 
ing the day a tank of muriatic acid hurst in the car, run¬ 
ning down in the stream; and the result was, it killed 
every fish for a mile below. In some places you could 
pickup bushels of trout, eels, suckers, etc. Last Monday 
it was a sight to behold ; not a live fish could be seen for 
a long way below the bridge. 
Movements of the Fishing Fleet. —The fish receipts 
at this port the past iveek have been quite liberal, a num¬ 
ber of the vessels landing very good fares for the season. 
The whole number of fishing arrivals reported for the 
week has been 104, as follows: Twenty-one from the 
Banks, 8 with 640,000 pounds codfish and 13 with 463,- 
000 pounds halibut; 49 from Georges, with 1,029,000pounds 
codfish and 44,000 pounds halibut; 1 from the off-shore 
grounds, with 20,000 pounds codfish ; 6 from the Bay St. 
Lawrence, with 2,000 pounds mackerel; 25 from Shore 
mackerel trips, of which 6 are following the market fish¬ 
ery, selling their fares fresh, and 19 landed- 5,020 barrels,
