83^™ No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



Rifle, Boston. — T hunt moose and black bears. Do you know of an 

 effective rifle with solid ball and flat trajectory; and if it has a maga- 

 zine, how often will the magazine explode in actual service in the 

 woods? I am sometimes a hundred miles from a settlement, with a 

 little Indian, where a strious accident would mean death from sev- 

 eral different causes. Ans. Seeour advertising colums for a number 



of rifles just such as you require. If a magazine rifle is properly 

 handled there is no reason to fear its explosion. 



H. M. O., New York.— You may secure permission to use the Creed- 

 moor range by applying to the secretary of the National Rifle Asso- 

 ciation, Temple Court, Beekman street, New York 



Targets, Hudson, O.— The Creedmoor 200yds. target dimensions 

 are: Bullseye 8m diam., center 26in. diam.. inner 46in. diam.. outer 

 remainder of target. The Massachusetts decimal target is divided 

 into circles counting from 10 to 1, diameters being respectively as 

 follows in inches: 314, W^ 8, 10}4, 12%. \%y A , 20y 2 , 2G, 33, 41%. 



Breechloader.— Which of the two lakes, Cedar Lake or Lake Max- 

 inkuckee, is the best place to camp and the best fishing point, also 

 what kind of fish are taken from each? Ans. If you mean the lakes 

 in Northern Indiana by those names, as we suppose, we should 

 recommend Maxinkuckee. The fishing is fair all around the lake. 

 You will find perch, sunfish, pickerel, etc. 



J. L. L., New York.— Where along the line of the D. L. & W R R 

 nearest New York can I find fail- bass fishing in either July' or 

 August? Will they take a fly during these months? Of course I 

 would like a place where I could take my wife. If you can't name 

 such a, place on D. L. & W. R. R. , please give me name of some place 

 near New York other than Greenwood Lake. Ans. You will find bass 

 in Lake Hopatcong and in the Delaware River from Lambertville, 



N. J., to the Water Gap and above. Thy do not rise to a fly well in 

 lakes in July in that region. "Sou will find hotel at Hopatcong. If 

 you want river fishing try between Easton and the Water Gap. 



R. II., West Torrington, Conn.— What is the name of this bird, 

 black head and back, white breast and dark red spots on throat. 

 That is the male; the female is brown and white; eggs are green 

 spotted with brown; nest is made of sticks? Ans. A rose-breasted 

 grosbeak, we p resume. 



W. S. L., Methuen, Mass.— Will you be so kind as to inform me 

 what kind of a fish this is which I inclose? it was caught in a small 

 brook that runs into the Merrimac River above the dam about three 

 miles. The man that caught it called it a black bass, but I dou't 

 think so. They go in schools and run up the brook a little way. Ans. 

 The fish is a darter, Boleosoma, but too dry to determine the species. 

 The darters seldom exceed two and a half' inches, and usually lie on 

 the bottom and move by jerks, whence the name. 



L. A. V. Z., New York.— Will you please inform me of the use of 

 the click reel; how it is possible to throw a fly with it any distance, 

 and also whether a book and sinker can be thrown any distance with 

 it? Ans. We would hardly know how to cast a fly without a click 

 reel. The click acts as a drag and prevents the line from running off 

 the reel unless pulled by the hand. Do not use it for throwing a 

 sinker; you need a free-running reel for that. Go to the next tour- 

 nament in Central Park and learn how a click reel is used.
