KANSAS CITY, May IT.— To-day was the day for holding the 

 regular monthly medal Shoot of the Kansas City Gun Club, but 

 the requisite number of birds could not be secured and the shoot 

 Was postponed. Ed. Bingham and Prank Smith were to shoot for 

 the Kansas City cup, but the match was postnoned until next

ST. LOUIS, May 19.— A friendly 50-bird pigeon match was shot 

 this morning between Mr. S. C. Edgar and Mr. J. W. Gates at 

 Comuton Avenue Park, which resulted in favor of the former by 

 one bird. The birds were strong flyers, and aided by a strong 

 wind, which blew almost directly from the shooters, made them 

 very hard to stop. Quite a number of them drooped dead just out 

 of bounds. Mr.Edgar had considerable difficulty with his second 

 barrel, if snapping On htm quite frequently and bothered him not 

 a little. Mr. Gates, if anything, bad the hardest birds, and several 

 • of his kills with his second barrel were loudly applauded by those 

 present. It is proposed that a return match will be shot with the 

 same conditions as the present one. The conditions of the match 

 were: 50 birds each from five ground traps, 30yds. rise. Tile loser 

 to pay for all birds and breakfast for all present. Mr. Hunt P. 

 Wilson acted as referee. The following in the score:

LIVE BIRDS IN NEW JERSEY— The Camden Courier is 

 authority for the statement that the Society for the Prevention 

 of Cruelty to Animals has decided to rigidly enforce the law of 

 1883 against the killing of live pigeons at shooting matches, and 

 to that end Secretary Story has been directed to give general 

 notice to the public that in future clay-pigeons, glass balls or 

 some other contrivance must be substituted for birds. A large 

 number of communications have been received from similar soci- 

 eties bi other counties of the State asking for co-operation in the 

 matter, 



BREWER ABROAD.— Captain John L. Brewer, of Philadel- 

 phia, champion pigeon shot of the world, is still rousing trap in- 

 terest in London. He is about to compete in the all-England 

 sweepstakes for the Sportsman challenge cup, valued at 200 gui- 

 neas. The trophy is a magnificent one, and is well worth a hard 

 struggle to gain. It was originally gotten up for the benefit of 

 W. F. Carver, wlio won it, and su bsequently placed it in pawn. 

 The revival in shooting, brought about through Brewer's wonder- 

 ful feats, accomplished there during the past winter, was an in- 

 ducement for the proprietors of the Sportsman to again get the 

 trophy and put it up for competition.

MOHICAN C. C. 



T T is rather late in the season to speak of winter camp-fires and 

 L in the same report give notice of canoe races and cruises; but 

 as the official ink-slinger of the Mohicans has not given voice to 

 the Turtles during the winter it devolves upon a resident, honor- 

 ary member of the tribe to sing in its praise and honor. 



The last camp-fire was held at the Windsor restaurant 1 1 bave 

 forgotten the date), but it was somewhere in eighty-eight, and 

 nearly the whole club, active and non-active, resident and non- 

 resident members were present. Some official business having 

 been transacted and several jaws exercised by the chewing of 

 words, other things were offered to the self-same jaws in the 

 shape of edibles and potables, notably a flowing bowl of the famous 

 Regent Punch, by which the local Fort Orange Club once in the 

 winter teaches the bears from the legislative garden to dance. 

 Music by the baud in toto and singing followed, Lasca on the 

 cornet, Lea on the fiddle, Marion B. on the piano, and the absent 

 Uncas on the cyther, while Necken delighted all by his superb 

 voice. The last winter meet was unanimously declared to have 

 been the most successful of all held by the finny Turtle tribe. 



According to the scheme of races to be held during the canoeing 

 season of 1888, which I inclose for the use of the fraternity of the 

 paddle,the first were to have taken place yesterday, but evi- 

 dently Father Hudson had not been informed of this important 

 event, for he had still a 3 to 4ft. freshet on, with a current, which 

 would have made tacking on the wind a rather awkward busi- 

 ness.

NEWS FROM THE RAG CANOE. 



1AMI, Dade County, Fla., May 3.— Editor Forest and Stream : 

 Here I am, well, hearty and comparatively happy, the on3y 

 drawbaek being I can't get hold of a Forest and Stheam and so 

 don't know much as to how the world goes. 



Have made a very pleasant cruise so far. Our route has been 

 through Charlotte Harbor, outside from there to Cape Sable 

 across to Matteeombe, and north outside the keys. Laid up four- 

 days on 3vey Large by N.E. gale. A large timber ship went on 

 the reef, and we bad some fun watching the wrectcers. 



Last night we camped on Cape Florida, within a stone's throw 

 of the old tower, where in 1837 the light keeper was beset by 

 Indians. He retreated to the tower, the Indians, who could not 

 get in, managed to set Are to the wood-work inside. When the 

 keeper was nearly roasted he thought to end it all, and so threw 

 a keg of powder down the well hole. The powder exploding 

 threw the lire all to the bottom of the tower, and all communica- 

 tion was cut off. The Indians finally left, and the keeper was 

 rescued by some fishermen. 



We sat at our camp-lire, last night, our thoughts were on the sad 

 story, and we half expected to hear the whoop of the Seminole. 

 Nothing but the cry of a loon, however, broke the silence, and we 

 were finally compelled to believe that the day of the Indian, in 

 Florida at least, was passed. 



Since leaving Matteeombe we have seen every description of 

 wreckage. One can't go a half mile on the beach without finding 

 the bones of some poor craft that have ended their days on the 

 Florida keys. 



The other day, while walking along Sands Key Beach I found a 

 bottle; it contained a paper, which I send you in this mail, it, was 

 thrown overboard just north of the line, and a long way to the 

 eastward of the spot where, it was found. It probably went in 

 below the Leeward Islands, through the Carribbean Sea, into the 

 gulf between Cape Catocne and Cape San Antonia, and up along 

 the keys and reefs to Sands Key. 



I believe there are loss fish on this coast than on the west side, 

 from the latitude of Tarpon Springs south; and for birds this coast 

 (as far as I have seen it) will bear no comparison. They tell us, 

 however, that there are plenty of deer and some turkeys inland] 

 and there are turtles on the beach, with crawfish and'eonchs in 

 abundance. This is by all odds the most attractive place I have 

 seen since leaving Tarpon Springs. Good cruising for small boats 

 with beautiful shores, and the. Miami is a fine river. I have made 

 some inguiries concerning the Biscayne Bay Y. C, but failed to 

 get any information, 



"Okeechobee" is at Cocoanut Grove, some few miles south of 

 here. I don't expect to see him, as we shall leave here to-night or 

 to-morrow for the outside run to Lake Worth. 1 believe we can 

 go inside from there to Jacksonville, but am not certain; shall 

 find out probably. Wa expect to be at Old St. Augustine in about 

 three weeks. It is uncertain setting dates, however, as in run- 

 ning up the beach we will have to be governed by the weather. 

 Once in Indian River we will go on smoothly. Tarpon. 



ATLANTIC DIVISION MEET. 



To the Member* of the Atlantic Division of the A. C. A.: 



The report of the camp site committee as to the time for hold- 

 ing the Atlantic Division meet having been submitted to the 

 division executive committee, and the committee having resolvtd 

 that a meet should be held in the Atlantic Division from Julv 16 

 to 26, 1888, and this resolution of the executive committee having 

 been submitted to and approved by Commodore Gibson, notice is 

 hereby given that a me-.t of the Atlantic Division for camping, 

 cruising and racing will be held from July 16 to 26. The 

 races will begin on Monday, July 23. The place for holding this 

 meet has not as yet been definitely reported by the camp site com- 

 mittee, but it is expected that a definite report upon that point 

 will be made in time for publication in the Forest and Stream 

 on the 30th inst. Henry Stanton, Yice-Commodore. 



15 Broad Street, New York, May 21. 



BROOKLYN C. C. CHALLENGE CUP, May 19. -Six canoes 

 started in the first race of the season for the Brooklyn C. C. chal- 

 lenge cup. The signal to start was given at 4:20 and the Miente, 

 F. L. Dunnell, was the first to cross the line, almost at the word. 

 The others were close behind in the order named: Minx, M. Y. 

 Brokaw; Eclipse. R. S. Blake; Rattler, Wm. Whitlock; Queen 

 Bess. R. J. Wilkin. The leaders changed places several times on 

 the run up to the stakeboat, where Eclipse went to the front; 

 sailing a true course to the second buoy she gradually increased 

 her lead to the finish, and rounded the home buov at 5:08, fol- 

 lowed by Minx at 5:1f%, Rattler 5:12%, others not timed. The 

 winner is a. new boat, tmilt by Ruggles, very 3ight and saiied 

 without ballast. This is her first race, and practically a trial 

 trip. 



OAKLAND C. C— This club, now in its third year, has issued a 

 neat book of rules, with much information concerning the club. 

 The active membership is now 28, with 27 canoes; an unusually 

 large proportion of canoes to members. The canoes are of large 

 size, mostly 15ft. by 86 to 38in. Tliere is one article in the house 

 rules that other clubs might well copy: "All articles left out of 

 place will be put in the pound, and a fine of 10 cents charged for 

 redemption. Auction sales of all unredeemed articles shall take 

 place as often as deemed necessary by the directors." 



A SUCCESSOR TO THE RESTLESS.— Mr. Thornton H. Smitb, 

 whose yawl Restless was wrecked a year ago, as told in the For- 

 est and Stream of June 9, 1887, has a new boat on the stocks at 

 A. B. Wood & Sons, City Island, from the same moulds, to be 34ft. 

 long, 4ft. 5iu. beam, and with 166sq. ft. in a yawl rig. Ttie new 

 Hyacinth will be ready in time for the Connecticut River meet 

 of May 26. She wiil be enrolled in the Larchmont Y. C. 



ATLANTIC DIVISION MEET.— The committee wish to ac- 

 knowledge letters in regard to camp site from Mr. Everett Mas- 

 ten, Yonkers C. C, and Dr. R. H. Cower, of Providence. The site
