FOREST AND STREAM. 



it led Bingwood and Slide at a lively rate, but gradually lost 

 ground and slid under the rocks where it was left in apparent 

 security, and one of theniost exciting chases of the season was 

 declared off. 



Florida — St. Augustine, Aug. 3.1. — Dr. Folson, Dr. 

 Philipps, and others, will soon leave for the south, where they 

 go to hunt, fish, etc. Tbey will carry good dogs, and every- 

 thing possible to thoroughly ccpiip a hunting party. Tbey are 

 crack sportsmen, therefore there is no doubt of their success. 



Dayton. — Since the ordinance was passed by the town coun- 

 cil, " prohibiting shooting along the shores and in the town," 

 the cranes and other water birds arc becoming more numerous 

 and very tame, in some cases walking into yards without fear. 



Indian River— Quail, and game birds of all kinds, will be 

 numerous the coming winter, from the large numbers now 

 seen. Deer, bear, turkey, squirrels, etc., promise fine sport. 

 Northern sportsmen should bring good guns. 



Arkansas. — Prairie chickens are scarce this year. 



Missouri — Kansas City, Aug. 31. — A hunting party, con- 

 sisting of Gen. Treadway, Col. Cheever, Maj. Burke and Capt. 



Louis, who left here a few days ago, have just returned from 

 Southern Kansas, where they report excellent sport. 



Indiana — Indianapolis. — The members of the Gun Club are 

 to have another tournament in the fall, at which rabbits are 

 to be employed instead of pigeons. The quadruped is to be 

 bumped out of his trap, and started off at a good pace before 

 shooting is allowed. 



Wisconsin— Westboro Section, Aug. 27.— West of here is 

 the best deer country in the State, and no one in the region 

 who hunts them. Ruffed grouse are abundant here, and a 

 few wild pigeons are seen. Four bears have been killed in 

 this neighborhood this summer. The Wisconsin B. R. Section 

 man here saw one a few nights since, and Duncan & Taylor's 

 night watchman drove one away from the mill a few nights 

 later. A. S. Russell of this place is a good woodman and 

 would take parties out if desired. S. D. C. 



[This excellent game region is reached by Wisconsin Cen- 

 tral R. R., and is almost unknown to sportsmen, — Ed.] 



Pomeroy, Iowa, Aug. 24— The opening day of the game 

 season dawned cool and cloudless, making just the dag for 

 the initiation of dog and man into the pleasures of grouse 

 hunting, though if I am to judge from sundry suspicious ap- 

 pearances some of the law-abiding citizens (?) did not wait 

 for the time prescribed by law, solacing their wounded con- 

 sciences—if anything of that sort finds a place in their vile 

 anatomies— by saying they were killing a peculiar kind of 

 "shcrt billed snipe." 



Birds are abundant, of fine size, and in good order. Bags 

 of thirty to fifty are often reported for one gun. Ducks are 

 beginning to make their presence known, visiting the fields in 

 the morning and evening, and will soon afford fine sport. 

 Young geese are commencing to sail around the fields. From 

 their early appearance it is predicted that they will be unusu- 

 ally plentiful this season. The first English snipe of tbe sea- 

 son were found on the evening of the 21st inst— three fine 

 plump fellows. They will be numerous as soon as the fall 

 rains commence. Deer are reported plenty eight to ten miles 

 out, and are easily taken with shot gun of heavy calibre loaded 

 with buckshot. Abe Dacotah. 



Oregon— Eugene City, Aug. 20.— Mountain and ruffed 

 grouse, quail and pigeons are abundant now. Our wing shots 

 make bags of from half a dozen to two dozen in half a day or 

 less. I shot, last evening, five mountain grouse, four ruffed 

 grouse, five quail and a brace of young mallards. The ruffed 

 grouse were killed in crab-apple thickets, the rest in stubble 

 fields. Acorns are abundant this year, so we are certain of 

 excellent mallard and wood duck shooting this fall. 



J. G. S. 



Montreal, Sept. 1st— Mr. N. P. Leach killed a fine bog of 

 game to-day at the Back River, within ten miles of the city. 

 It comprised woodcock, ruffed grouse, black duck, snipe and 

 qua-bird. 



First Snipe.— The first snipe exhibited this season was 

 brought to this oflice on Monday last. It was killed by Mr. 

 Justus von Lengerke, on the Hackensack Meade ws, September 

 1st, over his lemon and white setter Dash. It was a plump, 

 well conditioned bird, evidently the harbinger of fat long- 

 bills. 



Champion Glass Ball Trap.— Messrs. Barton & Co., of 

 337 Broadway, have placed in the market a new glass ball 

 trap, which claims to be the neplus ultra. It combines com- 

 pactness with durability, and is arranged, by a swivel on the 

 bed-plate, to throw a ball in any direction or at any elevation 

 unknown to the shooter, a screen preventing his seeing the 

 direction in which the trap is set.— [See adv.
