CLARA AND CINDERELLA.— These two old rivals have not 

 met since the August regatta at Marblehead in 1887, when Clara 

 lost her bowsprit and withdrew. Some time siuce a match was 

 arranged which was sailed on Saturday over the Captain's Island 

 course of the Larchmont Y. C. Clara's bobstay parted near 

 tiie end of the race, Cinderella being in the lead at the time and 

 winning. 



HULL Y. C.— The sail-off in sixth class on Saturday was a sail- 

 over for Rocket, as Wildfire was not present. This race ended 

 the season.

(ST* No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



Sportsman, New York.— Either one of the makes of suns you 

 name will be serviceable, and you cannot mistake. There is an 

 advantage in having two barrels. Select not larger than a 12ga. 

 With a 28m. barrel, and if you choose the rifle attachment get a 

 caliber from .25 to .38. 



W. R. P., Cologne, Germany.— Please inform me per your cor- 

 respondence column where to apply for Chinese ring pheasants, 

 as we would like to try and introduce them here in Germany. 

 Ans. We presume your best plan would be to enlist the services 

 of your consuls in China and Japan. * 1 



F. C. W., New York.— I have a pair of gun barrels that became 

 rusty. I used emory paper to remove and now the barrels are too 

 bright and shiny to suit me. What can I put on to bring back 

 the dull natural color? Ans. "Old Timer" in last week's naper 

 recommended a coat of shellac for this. 



BLACKEiSH,New York.-l.What is the best way to kill a wounded 

 o\mt i. Can a man kill game birds out of season on his own 

 property? 3. What is the best way to clean a gun after a day's 

 shoot? Ans. 1. Break its neck; many gunners bite the neck. 

 £. Not m this State, nor, as a rule, in other States. 3. Swab with 

 warm soap suds and dry thoroughly; then rub with flannel soaked 

 m benzine or kerosene, and rub .thoroughly with dry chamois 

 skin. 



* 4x R '< Zanes ville, O— 1. What gun will do better work in the 

 field, 10 or 12-gauge? 2. What is the lightest gun, 10-gauge, you 

 recommend, 32m., to shoot 4J^dr. black powder and ikoz. shot, 

 with safety and comfort to the shooter? 3. Would an 81b. 10-gauge 

 32in. gun be comfortable to shoot 100 shots at the trap, using 4Udr. 

 black powder and l^oz. shot? Ans. 1. We would recommend a 12- 

 gauge except for ducks. 2. Of 81bs. 3. It depends on your build 

 and strength. 



G. E. S., Chattanooga, Tenn.— The writer has been considerably 

 annoyed by the appearance of rust in a 10-bore hammerless gun. 

 Lately we have been keeping the barrels corked at the muzzle 

 very tightly and filled with sperm oil and then with corks in the 

 breech and a cloth cover on the barrels we would keep them 

 muzzle down in a dry place. A few minutes' work will empty 

 the barrels, wipe them out and put the gun together, using the 

 same oil repeatedly. Is there any objection to this plan other 

 than the trouble? Ans. The best sperm oil is an excellent thing 

 to use, and the treatment should be efficient. 



M. H. B., Passaic, N. J.— I wish to inquire whether it is not 

 almost universally the rule with the regularly organized gun 

 clubs, where three or five traps are used, shooting at inanimate 

 birds, to throw all but the last bird from an unknown trap, ex- 

 cepting where they shoot under Keystone rules or tournament 

 rapid shooting. Also please give your opinion whether it is wise 

 policy or not for a club, after shooting two and a half years, to 

 change their rules so as to shoot at all known birds, in order to 

 improve their scores and enable them to shoot against other 

 clubs. Ans. The club should shoot under American Association 

 rules, with the three traps throwing at fixed angles; but the 

 particular trap to be pulled at each shot to be determined by the 

 ndicator. It is mere child's play for a club to shoot at known 

 traps throwing known angles, and it's doughnuts to dollars that 

 such a club in a match where American Association rules pre- 

 vailed, would come out at the bottom at the tail end of the race. 

 Send to Major Taylor, American Shooting Association, Stewart 

 Building, N. Y., for a copy of the rules.
