The Boiling' Springs are Winners. 



Sunshine or stormy weather, 'tis all one to the enthusiastic 

 members of the New Jersey Trap-Shooters' League, who n«ver 

 allow Ihe elements to interfere with their favorite pastime. Sat- 

 ui day was far from pleasant. Nearly all day the rain kept com- 

 ing dowm'n a drizzling, tantalizing manner; the wind blew in a 

 tricky fashion, and the light was had. Early in the morning the 

 numbers of the Boiling Springs Fish and Gun Club gathered at 

 their handsome little club house in Rutherford, N. J., opened up 

 doors and windows, adjusted screens, traps and gun racks, sat 

 down in the cosy parlor and began to calculate, how many of the 

 Jersey Club members would be intrepid enough to risk element- 

 ary changes and come up tn take part in the fourth monthly 

 championship contest. Paul Jeanneret was sure the ten teams 

 would be on hand; Peck, Huek, Klees, Krebs, Hollister and others 

 were willing to be convinced, but concluded to await develop, 

 menta before venturing to wager on the probable number of en- 

 tries. Meanwhile a few stragglers— a sort of vanguard— made up 

 of odd members of various teams, put, in an appearance and began 

 to practice on the fast-flying United States and bluerock targets. 

 Alone: toward 10 o'clock tbe clouds had lightened somewhat and 

 the crowd had reached quite a respectable proportion. At this 

 point tbe hopes of the local shooters began to rise, for tbey had 

 made elaborate preparations for both a big shoot and a big feed, 

 and did not like to be disappointed in either direction. Nor were 

 they. In parties of pairs, trios and half dozens the shoot ers be- 

 ean to arrive from different parts of the State, until it was as- 

 certained at last that nine full teams of five men each were on 

 the scene, and that there was a fair prospect for the tenth team 

 having a full quota by the time the team race started. 



Meanwhile shooting was going on at a lively rate and every- 

 body was inajoytui mood despite the fact that the clouds had 

 once more become thick and heavy and the rain was again falling 

 and tbe light was terribly deceptive. The grounds of the Boiling 

 Springs Club face toward the open meadow, and whenever the 

 air is damp a heavy mist is sure to arise, this making a fore- 

 ground that is far from good. I have seen a good many days' 

 shooting on these grounds, and have often been there in stormy 

 weather, but never have I seen the light so troublesome as on 

 Saturday. At one moment the mist or fog would seem to extend 

 from the grass to the clouds, almost shutting out a view of any- 

 thing beyond, then it would lift for a few moments and seem to 

 be shifting from side to side, first thick and heavy, then thinnine 

 and spreading out for an instant, and then forming another thick 

 mantle, this being very aggravating to the shooters. 



The club, as I have said, had made most careful and elaborate 

 preparations for the affair. They had fitted up two sets of five 

 expert traps each, the traps being sprung by means of Paul 

 North's famous electric pull, each set of traps being independent 

 of tbe other, and each being provided with a lift, high screen. 



The writer who, with Wm, R, Hobart, did the preliminary work 

 in organizing this League, suggested at the outset that the only 

 proper wav to have successful monthly gatherings was to use 

 two sets of five traps each, instead of using one set of ten traps, 

 as was proposed. Mr. Hobart was heartily in accord with this 

 view, but was not able to convince any of the clubs under whose 

 ausp'ces the previous contests have been held that the innovation 

 would pay. The result was that while the team contest was going 

 on the mass of the shooters were obliged to be spectators. As 

 soon as it was known, however, that the Boiling Springs Club was 

 to engineer the May shoot, Mr. Hobart and the writer had au 

 interview with one of the managers of the club, and in a very few 

 moments convinced him of the great advantage to be derived 

 from using two sets of five traps each instead of one set of ten. 

 The result was that the innovation was introduced, and in con- 

 sequence over 8,000 targets were thrown, and this on a day wher. 

 the shoo'irg began an hour later and closed an hour earlier than 

 usual. All the time that the teams were usirjg one set of traps 

 the other set was kept going for sweepstakes. 



Janitor Miller and his wife and son prepared and served au 

 excellent dinner, comprising a toothsome chowder, delicious Bos- 

 ton baked beans, fragrant coffee, sweet milk and wholesome 

 bread and butter, to which full justice was done. An abundance 

 of good cigars and soft drinks were also obtainable. The mem- 

 bers of the club sacrificed their own convenience in the effort to 

 cater to the comfort and pleasure of the visitors and received 

 many expressions of gratitude from the latter. 



The team contest w»s a warm one, there being nine teams in 

 the field. The Brunswick Gun Club was short-handed and d'd 

 not compete. Al. Heritage, of Jersey City, was referee, while 

 Frank Mason acted as official scorer. The Independent Gun 

 Club, of Plain field, whose team won the three former contests, 

 put in a scrub team this time and pulled out in the ruck. The 

 Biting Springs team put on a big spurt and pulled out first best, 

 with tbe Woodsides, of Newark, a. good second and the South 

 Sides, of Newark, third. Major R. Heber Breintnall, the soldier 

 expert of the South Side team, rolled up the only clean score of 

 the day. The conditions were 5 men per team, 25 targets per 

 man, A. S. A. rules to govern, five-trap rapid-firing system.

The sweepstake shooting was very spirited, and in one of the 

 sweeps there were 55 entries, while several others had from 20 to 

 40 entries. The detailed scores of these are found below in the 

 condensed form by which Forest and Stream gives two columns 

 of news in the same amouut of space that its contemporaries give 

 in one column. The 10-target events had an entry fee of §1, 15- 

 target events SI. 50, and 20-taTget events $2. There were 3 moneys 

 in each event:

Bridgeport, Conn. 



On May 30 the Bridgeport Gun Club will hold an all-day shoot, 

 and arrangements have been made to throw 10.000 Keystones i< 

 the attendance warrants it. A large crowd is expected, as the 

 team race for the State championship is set for thar. day, and an 

 attractive series of sweepstakes is on the card. Everybody 

 welcome, nobody is barred. The grounds are well situated and 

 the club proposes to provide a pleasant day's outiog and plenty of 

 shooting for all who attend. Refreshments will be provided on 

 the giounds. and loaded shells may be obtained. Connecticut 

 has a good reputation for target shooting meetings, and this will 

 be in no way deficient. Take your gun and go and stack up 

 against the Nutmeg shooters. W. Jennings, Sec'y. 



Mo Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



F. C, Newport, R. I.— The Bee Keepers'' Magazine, Barrytown, 

 N. Y., may be what you want. 



Reader, Wil'iamsport, Pa.— Where can I get catfish fry for 

 stocking a pnnd? Ans. Channel catfish. E. B. Douglass, Bavarian 

 Fisheries. Edinburg, Indiana: speckled ea.tfish, M.J. Ellis, Nor- 

 wood, Mass.: and G. L' Haverfield, Cadiz, Ohio. The last charges 

 87 per hundred. 



C. L. S., Dorchester.— What is the fish called togue? What kind 

 nf tackle and bait are most commonly employed in his capture. 

 I understand the lak^s in eastern Maine contain some fine speci- 

 mens of this fish, and that good sport is promised the fortunate 

 fisherman. Ans, 1. Togue is one of the many names of the lake 

 trout. Tuladi, salaion trout, lunge and Mackinaw trout are other 

 names applied to the same fish. T gue is current among the 

 Maine lumbermen. 2. Any short, stout bait rod, with a reel hold- 

 ing 50 to 100yds. of l'nen or silk line, will be effective. Young 

 rogue rise freely to trout flies in swift water, and in May and June 

 t v e adults can often be taken near the surface with flies or spin- 

 ning tackle. Usually, however, the fish are caught in deep water 

 by trolling or still fish. Toe best trolling bait is a good-sized min- 

 now or a small sucker. In still-fishing the bale should be kept 

 several feet from the bottom. Strong tackle is needed for the 

 large fish.
