FOREST AND STREAM 
there. To our great regret, however, we found that he 
was absent, and we were obliged to forego the pleasure 
of meeting him. We spent but a few hours in Grand 
City therefore, and after a bath and a “sit-down” dinner 
at the hotel we retraced our steps to the camp on Corral 
Creek. 
On our return journey we crossed the range by way of 
the Rabbit Ears Pass, and found the road a good one. 
Prospectors have been busy along the head of the Grizzly 
Bear River, but we saw none. On this stream we met 
with the first sharp-tailed grouse seen on the trip, and 
found them very abundant. 
The Rabbit Ears Mountains take their name from apeak 
whioh iB surmounted by two high pinnacles of rock stand¬ 
ing close together and looking, from most points of view, 
somewhat like the erected ears of a hare. The moun¬ 
tains, though not high, ten or eleven thousand feet, afford 
some very fine scenery, and are said to abound in game. 
We had no time unfortunately to investigate them. ThiB 
range is rather a favoi'ite hunting-ground for parties who 
start from points in Middle Park or who pack over the 
range from points north of Denver. The country is not 
a good one to hunt, however, for the mountains are cov¬ 
ered with fallen timber, through which it is very difficult 
to pass without making a great deal of noise. I could see, 
however, that in winter it must be a superb locality for 
the hunter to visit. There are many high, bald hills 
whioh, swept by the fierce winds of November, Decem¬ 
ber and January, afford good pasturage to the deer and 
elk. Everywhere over these hillsides the traveller sees 
scattered on the ground the shed antlers and other signs 
of game in such abundance as to make one long to be able 
to spend a month or two in this district at a time when 
all game is at its best. 
Descending the mountains into North Park we soon 
reached a point where we could cross over and strike 
the road which we had followed in going through the 
Muddy Pass. Near the point where we struck this road 
we passed a deserted Ute Camp about a month old, the 
poles of thewicky-upsandof theframesfor dressing hides 
being still in position. The camp had not been occupied 
for any great length of time, hut I noticed several bushels 
of antelope hair on the ground, indicating that the Indi¬ 
ans had dressed a large lot of skins. I am told that they 
have killed this summer thousands of antelope for their 
hides alone. 
We camped that night on the East Fork of Arapaho 
Creek, and, as the horses were very weary from their 
pulls up and down the hills of Middle Park, we determ¬ 
ined to move the next day only to our old camp on Buffalo 
Creek, a distance of two or three miles, and let the ani¬ 
mals have a day of rest there. Game had been so scarce 
along the road in Middle Park, and we had been travel¬ 
ling so fast, that we were about out of meat, and it was 
necessary to secure some if possible. I started out onfoot 
for an hour or so, soon after reaching our camping-ground, 
but saw nothing but one old buck, who discovered me be¬ 
fore I did him, and at whom I did not get a chance to 
shoot. That evening, at supper, some sarcastio remarks 
were made as to the hunting abilities of the company 
generally, and before I went to bed I told the cook to call 
me at daylight, having resolved that before I ate again I 
would kill some meat. Yo.

Another California. Rifle Shot.— Dr. John Ruth, of 
Oakland, Cal., has come to the front as a competitor for 
the peculiar kind of notoriety which belongs to rifie trick 
shooting. At a recent exhibition in Sacramento the 
other day he shot cigars from the mouth of his assistant, 
twenty feet distant, rifle held upside down, and with a 
mirror, &©. Of 1,000 glass balls shot at, thirty-nine were 
missed. The rifleman was laboring under the disadvan¬ 
tages of a big boil on his neck. What could he not have 
done without it?

Shoot of the Scheutzen Corps.— The New York 
Scbeutzen Corps, numbering 127 members, and guests, in 
command of Captain D. E, Yuengling left Jersey City on 
Thursday last, via special train of six cars on the Lehigh 
Valley Railroad, for their annual fall shoot. They were 
accompanied by the 71st regiment band and had every¬ 
thing necessary to make the party happy and comforta¬ 
ble. The destination was Mauch Chunk, Pa., 120 miles 
from the city. The scenery viewed during the run out 
was enchanting, and all were well pleased with 
the selection made by the Captain of the Corps. 
The entertainment was strictly private. On the arrival 
at Mauch Chunk, the entire party were transported to 
the Mansion House, James S. Wybert, proprietor, where 
an ample supply of edibles were ready, after partaking 
of which, the shooters took their positions, and at short 
range, off hand shooting, three shots each, contested for 
the various prizes, which occupied the rest of the day. In 
the evening Mi-. F. Beringer, President of the Arion So¬ 
ciety, R. Guggenheimer, Esq., and T. C. Banks, of the 
Forest and Stream, were appointed judges, and Mr. 
Philip Klein measured the targets, which was no easy 
task for him, and after their labors were finished the 
party retired, leaving the distribution of prizes until the 
next day. As the immense dining-hall had been cleared 
of tables, the regimental string band soon sounded a march 
which opened the grand ball for the evening. 
On Friday the day was ushered in by the firing of can¬ 
non in front of the hotel at six o’clock, which was con¬ 
tinued until the band assembled for a morning concert. 
After an early breakfast the Corps assembled with the 
band and marched to the station of the celebrated “Switch 
Back ” railroad, while the ladies and children were taken 
in carriages. The trip over this wonderful road was 
highly exciting and the scenery enchanting. 
A description of the excursion over the mountains 
would be almost impossible in our limited space, but all 
who participated in it have it thoroughly impressed on 
their memory. At Summit Hill an hour was passed in 
visiting the wonderful coal mines, and especially the burn¬ 
ing mine, whose fires have been raging for over twenty 
years. At this point a slight collation was served, while 
the band gave the miner's families an open air concert. 
On returning to the hotel dinner was served, and then 
came the distribution of prizes contested for the day be¬ 
fore, viz.: 
Philip Klein, 1st prize, Forest and Stream Pipe, value 
$150—score, 3 2-16 in. : Bernard Zettler, 2d, $25 cash- 
score. 41-16 in. ; Louis Fink, 3d, $20, gold — score, 4 5-16 in. ;
