 ever seen. In fact every detail was carefully looked after and 

 ably managfd.

r/ieS6C07?.c?Dai/.— The entries to-day averaged about the same 

 as yesterdav. The weather was cloudy, with a strong wind from 

 right to left across the traps, making the shooting somewhat 

 more difficult than yesterdav. To-day is "St. Paul dav" at the 

 fair, and about fifty thousand people are on the grounds. The 

 most interesting part of to-day's program'Tie was the ooateat for 

 the Chamber of Commerce diamond badge for the individual 

 championship of the State, ooen to shooters from Minnesota 

 • only. 26 singles and 12 pairs. Mr. Burkha'-t, of St. Paul, won the 

 badge with a score of 4t out of a possible 50, using a 10-bore L C 

 Smith gun. About 3.000 people witnessed this contest, which was 

 very close and exciting, Mr. Burkhart having to score his last 

 tbree pair to win. He was heartily congratulated by his many 

 friends.

The Third Da j/.— The attendance was not so large as yesterday, 

 hut was large enough to keep up a good interest in thesrores' 

 The weather was cool and cloudy, with a strong wind to help the 

 targets along. The best shooting of the tournament was done to- 

 day, as each contestant was anxious to place himself high up in 

 the average list. There were twenty-three average prizes given 

 by the club, but only twenty contestants shot in every regular 

 contest. There were two ties for sitth average and two for 

 htteenth, consequently only eight of the averages were awarded 

 The management decided to have an extra sweep and add the re- 

 maming five average prizes, and a number o£ entries were macle, 

 but a heavy rain set in with prospects to continue until dark, and 

 the event was declared off, Guns were cleaned and good-byes 

 said, and all went home well pleased with the St. Paul Gun Club 

 tournament.

Labor Day at Muncie. 



MuNCiE, Ind., Sept. 8.— I mail you herewith scores of the fourth 

 annual fall shoot of the Muncie Gun Club. Labor Day being 

 celebrated at this place in the elaborate manner, it has very 

 likely cut our entries down some, races of different kinds at the 

 fair grounds being a strong element against us. We were favored 

 with a fair attendance from abroad, however, many old friends 

 and some new. New Castle, Md., was representPcL bv Messrs. 

 Tom Gough, V. Mendenhall, M. Pbares, Landers, Stilly, Stout

 the wh'skers. tan jacket and pointer dogs; C. A. Young, from 

 Springfield, 0.; Messrs. Lockwood, Grube and Orem, from South- 

 port, Ind., and our steadfast friend, Dr. 0. E. Britton, Indian- 

 apolis. Sidney, O., was represented by Messrs. John Berkshire 

 and hia noisv partner Johnson. Half a cent wa^ deducted from 

 the price of each target thrown, the .=<ame being divided into 

 three average moneys for those making first and second and the

Ko Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



C. M. F., Buffalo.— Please inform me if the book entitled "Camp 

 Life in the Woods" and the "Complete American Trapppr" are , 

 two different books? Ans. The same book, by W. Hamilton 

 Gibson. 



F. W., New York City.— Not knowing much about the section 

 of the country wh^re game may be found. 1 take the liberty of ; 

 writing to you for the required information. We svould not care 

 to go more than a radius of 50 miles from the city. If you will 

 furnish the above information you will confer a g'eat favor on a 

 number of friends of your valuable paper. Au«. Try somf?, of the 

 Sullivan county stations of the New York, Outario & Western 

 Railroad for (luail and ruffed grouse. 



O. W. E . Fort Soott, Kan.— Can you tsll US how to kill all the 



flrfh in a lake from oft. to 20ft. deep, 2fl0ft. wide by one tnile long, 

 without injuring them for market' Will weigh from 5 to201b8-, 

 and some have b^en caught that weighed fiOlhs. The large ones 

 are eating the small ones. Have you luid any experience in using 

 fresh lime? We are told it will kill them, but have tried it on a 

 small scale without success. Ans. We cannot tell you any law- 

 ful way of killing fish in such a large body of water,' If it is pri- 

 vate property, you might use the deadly set-line or out-lines, which 

 are so much despised by anglers. 



F. M., Newark, N. .J.— Can yon inform me why the beetle 

 Dytiscus is found out of water and po far from a stream? I picked 

 one up on one of the busy thoroughfares under an arc lamp. 1 

 have been alter aquatic insects, hut have never found onu of 

 these beetles yet. 1 also found another beetle, of which I should 

 like to know the name; I picked it off a gentleman's shoulder at 



night. I have sent the exact size. Ans. It is probable that the, 

 water beetles spend more time in flight than many collectors sup- 

 pose. The one above referred to is a strong flyer. One great in- 

 centive to flight is the sexual passion. The second beetle, of which' 

 sketch was sent, is really a water bug (Belnstmna). The species 

 may be B. americaaa or J3. grism, both of which inhabit the 

 Atlantic States of North America. A South American sp^icies, 

 B. {irandis, grows to the length of 4in. The Duliacm ispredaceoue;! 

 its color ia dark olive-green above, the chesL and wing-cases often 

 margined with yellow. The wlng-CBge« in the mylo are smooth, 

 in the female usually furrowed. Bdostorna i ' ■■ ln-iempterous 

 insect. It ia large, flat-bodied, aciuatic, with iv - i ' . framing 

 legs, and curved fore tibia^. It preys upon ij i' v/.iter' 



animals, Trout measuring .5iu. have h^en kii C „ insect.
