Good Birds and a High Wind. 



Thb "Old Stone House" grounds on Bloomfield avenue, Newark, 

 N. J., drew a big crowd of people on Feb. 23, tbe majority expect- 

 ing to see an exhibition shoot between E. D. Fulford and J. L. 

 Brewer. The former, how r ever, had departed for New Orleans 

 and the latter was probably at Clayton. N. J., hence the crowd 

 was disappointed. They were well ^ep^id for their trouble, how- 

 ever, by seeing some good shooting at first-class birds. The open- 

 ing events were "Jersey" sweep\ I birds per man, 83 entry. In 

 the first three there were two moneys and in the final three three 

 moneys. The scores are shown thus:

jump at the pull of the string and be several yards away before a 

 gun could be placed to the shoulder. This club deserves especial 

 credit as being one among the few clubs that shoot under Long 

 Island or, aa we claim, American rules. Gun below elbow until 

 bird is on the wing, and under no circumstances a bird to be shot 

 unless in the air. Under these circumstances the scores are more 

 than good. Hughes, Waller, Undemeyer, 37yds.; others 25yds. 

 Mr. Btmson filled his part as referee to the. satisfaction of all, 

 After the shoot the club and their guests betook themselves to tbe 

 hostelry of Mr. Sullivan, a member of the club, where a generous 

 collation awaited, both s^lid and liquid. Some spicy speeches 

 were made, and Mr. Burton favored the good-natured assembly 

 with several songs, that, were repeatedly encored. Score:

Previous to the club shoot a match at 10 birds each was shot 

 between 3, J. Maher and under-sheriff of the county, and Mr. 

 Sullivan, proprietor of the Guttenberg hostlery. That attracted 

 considerable attention, in fact, drew a very respectable crowd 

 from the .Jersey City Heights part of tbe city. Mr. Maher won 

 the match and was decorated with a flaming badge of green and 

 gold that nearly covered his manly front. Mr. Berkerey shot, a 

 5*4 hammerless and Mr. Collins made some more than good shots 

 with a $10 gun that had been thrown aside as played out years 

 ago.

W. S., New Haven, O., wants to know of a, good region for gin- 

 seng in the West. 



E. A. F,, Rochester, N. Y.— Will you kindly give me, through 

 the medium of your paper, directions for making a blanket or 

 sleeping bag? Ans. See "Game Bag and Gun" columns this week 



H. K. T , Dexter, Me,— The lines of an excellent open canoe 

 were published in our issue of Dec. 4, 1890. For sailing in such a 

 canoe a leeboard is used in preference to either keel or center- 

 board. 



A. C. H., Chicago, III.— You will find full description of Gani- 

 bel's quail, its habits, and where found, in Forest and Stream, 

 Vol. XXXVHI. p. 27, Jan. 14, 1893. We do not recall any recent 

 article on African antelope. 



J. H. F. T Lawrence, Mass.— Old varnish 1s best removed by care- 

 ful scraping, moistening the varnish with ammonia just in ad- 

 vance of the scraper. Use any good marine or spar varnish, put- 

 ting on at least three light coats, allowing each one time to dry 

 thoroughly. 



W. R. M., Los Angeles, Cal.— How much dead weight, in pounds, 

 should a first-class article of silk worm gut lift? that is. give the 

 strength in pounds of a first-class salmon gut and a first-class 

 trout gut. Ans. Assuming that the gut is fresb, in good condition, 

 and of the best quality, it would vary according to size. The 

 finest of gut (not drawn) would stand about 31ns. dead strain. 

 Ordinary size gut, such as used for the average trout leader, 

 would stand 41bs., and from that it would increase in strength 

 until the heaviest salmon gut is reached, the latter would stand a 

 dead weight of about lOlbs. 



C. H. & D., Albany, N. Y. — Will you kindly advise us as to the 

 best method of fitting up a first-class rifle gallery ? We have an 

 excellent place for a range on the second floor of our store: length. 

 100ft. There are two windows in the rear. What would we need 

 for a backing to stop and bold bullets (22cal.K how thick and what 

 composed of? Ans. Set several wing pieces of heavy plank along 

 range, especially near firing points, to catch misfires, etc. At 

 target end make frame of heavy pine, cut in blocks to show end 

 wood toward shooter. Back of the paper target set up a sheet 

 of boiler plate, sloping down and back at an angle of 45 degrees, to 

 deflect the bullet downward, where it meets another plate laid on 

 the floor. The lights, set with reflectors lo illuminate the target, 

 may be placed behind side wings, about 4ft. from target, face. The 

 gallery and range should be entered from the side by an iron-clad 

 door, opening inward, and which when open shuts off the view of 

 target from tiring point. When attendant leaves gallery range he 

 closes the door aud the target is brought into view. A grin to carrv 

 target traveling on an overhead wire may be U'ed, thus entirely 

 obviating the necessity of entering the range. 



J. L. D. 7j„ Toronto.— Which do you think the more responsible 

 for the extermination (almost) of the American bison, the cupid- 

 ity of the white manor the improvidence of the Indiau? Ans. 

 The cupidity of the white man. lu their primitive state the In- 

 dians did not kill more meat than they could use. The old men 

 and chief always preached against waste, and as the, general hunts 

 were conducted systematically and under orders (see "Pawnee 

 Hero Stories"), the chiefs controlled the destruction. It is not 

 probable that in primitive times the Indians killed in any one 

 year a number of buffalo equal to the increase of the herds. 

 The opposite view has been held by people without experience of 

 Indians. It is true, however, that after the conservatism of the 

 Indians had been broken down by tbe temptations in the way of 

 whisky and goods offered by the white trader, he slaughtered just 

 as ruthlessly as tbe white man— in other words, killed all he 

 could. But he never succeeded in killing as many buffalo as the 

 white man, because he always killed by "running" while the 

 white mm killed from a "stand," thus slaughtering from five 'o 

 ten times as many buffalo as a runner could. 



The Conquering Central Road,— The New Yorn Central is 

 the greatest railroad in the world. It is the arterial center of the 

 most magnificent commonwealth that enri ^hes and embellishes 

 the geography of the globe. It weds Lake Erie to the Atlantic, 

 and is the crowning glory of the vast Vanderbilfc si stem, whose 

 growth and grandeur are among the miracles of modernism. It 

 is the mightiest of the multitude of connecting links between the 

 metropolis of the Western Hemisphere and all America. It fur- 

 nishes the most extraordinary exemplification of the productive 

 power and industrial magnitude of tbe continent. It typifies the 

 triumph of commerce and civilization. Its wealth is fabulous, 

 its business stupendous, audits beneficence incalculable.— Troy
