worms. The carp has a hard mouth, and it should be allowed to gorge 

 the bait. A cloudy day is beet and a ripple on the water hides the 

 splash ; do not use a sinker. 



H. W.. New York —Snipe shooting at Jamaica Bay is sometimes 

 good, but the locality is too near to the city and too much frequented 

 by gunners. 



C.D.W, Portland, Mich.— 1. Is there a rifle barrel made to use in- 

 side a breeobloading shotgun? 2. AY hat. fly is best for black bass? 3. 

 What is best, work or works on taxidermy? 4. Anew edition of Coues's 

 "K»-y to North American Birds" isnow'in press. Ans. 1. The Shelton 

 auxiliary barrel is such an implement. We believe that it is no longer 

 manufactured. 2. There are many bass flies. 3. Try Manton's, price 

 50 cents. 4. We can furnish it when it is published . 



O. W.— There are a great many shad at the head of our river, and 

 1 want to try them with the fly. ' Can you give me the name of the 

 kind of fly used? 1 have seen accounts in Forest and Stream where 

 the shad are caught successfully, but the nan.e of the party and the 

 kind of fly and the manner that the shad are caught I have forgotten. 

 Ans. Shan are taken with the fly at Holyoke, Mass. Thomas Chal- 

 mers, of that place, makes flies for them. The flshiug is usually 

 done toward or after sundown, and the. line is let down with the cur- 

 rent. Yellow sally, white miller and soldier moth are good shad flics. 



A. B. S., Bellevue, Huron County, Ohio.— Can you tell me the name 

 of the duck of which this is a description 1- It was shot on a pond 

 about ten miles south of Sandusky Bay, Short bill, full "webbed feet, 

 black chops, top of head and throat white, black bar across breast, 

 black on back with few brown feathers in wings, two lone black 

 feathers in tail like pin or pigeon tail. Length from point of bill to 

 end of tail 18>£ inches. Don't sayit was a pin-tail, for we are familiar 



with that duck. Ans. Your description is vague enough, but we 

 presume the bird is a male old squaw or long-tailed duck in summer 

 plumage. This is a very common marine duck, sometimes found on 

 the great lakes. Its scientific name is HarcUla glacialis. 



Dirigo, Portland, Me.— 1. If in shooting double clay-pigeons a 

 broken and a whole bird leave the traps, and the shooter breaks tho 

 broken one and misses the other, how should the referee decide? 2. 

 If he misses the broken one, and breaks or misses the whole, how 

 should he decide? Ans. 1 and 2. The referee should decide one 

 broken and one missed. The shooter may refuse to shoot at the 

 broken bird and demand another; but if he shoots at it, he must abide 

 by the result, 



Greenwing, Syracuse, N. Y.— A party of men from Syracuse have 

 leased a trout stream. The sign boards ivhich they have erected con- 

 tain these words, "Fishing not allowed in this stream." There is no 

 name signed. Are the boards made, according to law, and can they 

 prosecute a person for fishing in the stream ? The land that is leased 

 is not inclosed, neither are there any signs except along the brook. 

 Ans. The law regarding tresp^fes reads as follows: Section 16. Any 

 person who shall knowingly trespass upon cultivated or inclosed 

 lands for the purpose of shooting or hunting any game protected by 

 this act, or shall take any fish from private ponds or streams not 

 stocked in whole or in part by the State, or alter public notice has 

 been given by the owner thereof as provided in the following section, 

 shall beliable to such owner or occupation, in addition to the actual 

 damages sustained, in exemplary damages to an amount not exceed- 

 ing $25. Sec. 17. The notice referred to in the preceding section 

 shall be given by erecting sign boards, at least one foot square, upon 

 every fifty acres of land upon the limits thereof, or upon the shores 

 or bank of any lake, stream, or pond, in at least two conspicuous 



places on the premises; such notices to have appended thereto the 

 name of the owner or occupant, and any person who shall tear down 

 or in any way deface or injure such sign board, shall be liable to a 

 penalty of $25. 



A. L. P., New York.— 1. Do you know any place within three or four 

 hours from New York where I can have good black bass fishing? I 

 know the usual places, Greenwood Lake, etc., but I do not care to fish 

 from a boat, and prefer fishing a stream on account of the exercise. 

 Last year I tried some alleged trout streams in the Delaware i egions, 

 but found them fished out. Of course I want to get fly-fishing, if pos- 

 sible. When does black bass fishing in this region begin? 2. What is 

 the best trip for fishing purposes (about two weeks) to take from Chi- 

 cago in July? I believe that I saw some time ago an article on the 

 Northern Peninsula of Michigan. Can you give me any address to 

 write to in O order to get the necessary information f Ans. ,1. You 

 might find s me bass fishing along the Delaware River, above Lam- 

 bertville and about Point Pleasant. It is not certain at all times. 2. 

 Go to Mackinac and cross the straits, or go to Escanaba. From these 

 places you can easily reach good trouting. Consult the map. Guides 

 can be had at $2 per day.

FOREST AND STREAM: "The list is surprising, even to one familiar with such matters. The great merit of this 

 catalogue is its accuracy." 



AMERICAN ANGLER: "It is, without doubt, one of the most complete and elaborately illustrated catalogues 

 fciiat has ever been issued in the interest of a private firm. This catalogue may be classed as a text book, 

 owing to its practical value to the general angler." 



NEW YORK EVENING POST: "The amount of ingenuity exercised in devising means to capture fish becomes 

 RK apparent only upon study of such a catalogue of fishing tackle as Abbey & Imbrie, of New York, have just 



published." 



SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN: "The book has 92 large plates, covering almost every conceivable appliance in this line, 

 and in such profusion of styles as would probably delight even our most expert of fishermen, President Arthur." 

 MAIL AND EXPRESS: u To the practical angler the xoork is indispensable, as it shows him just what to get."
