RAJAH AND MONA.— A very interesting race was sailed, by 

 arrangement, on Aug. 3 between the Mona and Rajab. The

 other extremity was the judge's boat) to and around Matinnicock

BROOKLYN C. C— A race was sailed on Saturday, Aug. 3, for 

 the Brooklyn C. C. challenge cup. The course was triangular, 

 although a strong ebb tide made it practically to leeward and 

 return, insuring a good race. Com. Wilkin's Queen Bess had the 

 best of the start, but Niente, Mr. F. L. DunneU, overhauled her 

 on the run out and turned the first mark ahead. Here the wind- 

 ward work began and it looked like a victory for Queen Bess, as 

 she immediately took a windward position, but only for a short 

 time, for Niente began to outfoot her and gained a lead on the 

 second tack, which she held to the finish. Phoenix, Mr. W. McK. 

 Miller, the only other starter, did not finish.

 • D V AI l I) 9^ HE <? S ' St ' plair.- Where can good black bass flv-fishl 

 ing be had m September, within a day's travel of Philadelphia? 

 Ans. Try the Susquehanna River in the vicinity of Towanda, or of 

 Renovo.

Cestrian, Bowdon, England.— 1. You will find trout fishiiifr'm 

 California; and the tackle stores there are so well supplied with 

 suitable goods that you may leave the purchasing of tackle until 

 your arrival. 2. The small game includes quail, doves and hares; 

 and there is capital wildfowl shooting. 



X. Y. Z.-l. Will a telescope sight be of any use to old eyes in 

 shooting squirrels and other small game in the woods? 2. Are 

 they of any practical use to the hunter in a general way? 3 Is 

 the Rural Manufacturing Company of Philadelphia reliable? 

 Ans. 1. Yes. 2. They are of good service under certain conditions 

 of rest shooting. 3. We believe it to be. 



T. C. S., Detroit.— All the revolvers will "jump," even the best 

 grades; but you can to a great degree remedv this bv preparing 

 your own cartridges, using lighter loads. The two makes vou 

 name are of surprising accuracy when held right, as demonstrated 

 m the shooting galleries, but they are there shot with specially 

 prepared loads. v 3 



A. B.< Lancaster county, Pa.— 1. The name "Bob White" is ap- 

 plied to the bird commonly called "quail." "Wells's" contention 

 is that the bird is not a true quail. In this he is right, but it is 

 too late in the day now to think of correcting the erroneous 

 nomenclature. 2. There is no well-defined line between amateur 

 and professional trap shots; the distinctions now made are not 

 based on any hard-and-fast rule, but certain individuals are re- 

 cognized professionals and are so treated. 



C. G.. Rye, N. Y.— Can you inform me how the shooting of small 

 birds can be stopped? Every Sunday it is a continual bang all 

 day. I am aware of the law, but our game keeper lives far from 

 this place, and, if I should complain to him, 1 have my doubts of 

 his taking any action in the matter. I tried to eret the justice of 

 the peace of my village interested in the protection of the small 

 birds, but he says if I will make a complaint he will take action. 

 Now, how is a stranger going to make a complaint against one 

 whom he has never seen before? Ans. The proper course is to lay 

 the matter before your district protector. Dr. Willett Kidd, New- 

 burgh, who will undoubtedly give it his attention. 



Aztec— 1. Of what brand is the dead shot powder mentioned in 

 your gun tests? 2. I find the abridged A. O. U. Check List does 

 not help to identify birds. What work would you recommend 

 for that purpose? Does the unabridged Check List of the A. O. U 

 or of Coues give full descriptions and characters of the birds? 

 It I must have a larger work, will Ridgwav's "Manual" or 

 Coues's ' Key" be most likely to meet the requirements of Mex- 

 ico? 3. Is Trumbull's "Names and Portraits" confined to the 

 United States? 4. What is the scientific name of the turtledove? 

 Ans. 1. Made by the American Powder Mills, Boston, Mass. 2. 

 Ridgway's "Manual" will answer your purpose for Mexican 

 birds. 3. Trumbull's work professes to apply to the eastern half 

 of the United States. 4. The turtle dove, also called the mourn- 

 ing dove and Carolina dove, is the Zenaidura manroura. 



QUERIES AND REQUESTS. 



H. R. S., Philapelphia, writes: I would like to be one of a party 

 of two or three to fish and hunt for large game in Colorado or 

 Idaho about Sept. 1, lor recreation and pleasure. 



E. L. R. asks: Can any of your numerous readers inform me 

 where a party of three can go in Virginia and find sport for a 

 month wuh turkey, deer, bear, etc ? We are willing to go anv 

 distance to find plenty of game and few hunters. 



G. D. L. writes: Have any of the readers of the Forest and 

 Stream us^d hollow pointed bullets of .38-cal. rifle cartridge 1 I 

 use a .38-55-255, and it gives fair results with solid bullet; but 

 would like some one who has experience with the hollow point of 

 that caliber to give his opinion of the matter. 



X. Y. Z. writes: I expect to start about Sept. 1 for a hunting 

 trip in British Columbia. Would like a companion. Fi •om the 

 aquamtance 1 have already formed both of persons and places, I 

 confidently expect a pleasant and successful trip. I don't care so 

 much whether my companion has much experience in hunting, 

 camping, etc. (although that is desirable, of course), as that lie be 

 companionable and able to put up with some of the inconven- 

 iences without grumbling. 



A party of two sportsmen who are going to Montana for big 

 game would like the pleasure of spending a day or two with some 

 readers of Forest and Stream having good dogs, on the line of 

 Northern Pacific R. R. in Dakota, after chickens, ducks and 

 geese. Being in moderate circumstances, in exchange, should 

 any reader see fit to entertain them, they will extend the same 

 goodfellowship to the party for a grouse and quail hunt in their 

 native State. References given if desired. Address Sportsman, 

 Box 442, Towanda, Pa.
