Fritz Schlaukopf s Canoe. 



We take great pleasure in publishing the following eloquent testi- 

 monial to the merits of the beautiful poem in the Forest and Stream 

 of Feb. 9. We omitted to state at the time that the German version 

 was a translation from the English; we have since received from a 

 correspondent a translation of the German into English. 

 Editor Forest and Stream: 



That sparkler, that "gem of purest ray serene," that "corker," that 

 sheft doover about Fritz's Canoe, has enraptured my soul. I got 

 through the fish columns, compassed the dogs, corraled" the yachting 

 wisdom, begun on the canoeing, and before I knew where I was at I 

 was spang into the middle of Schlaukopf 's Kanoo, right into the well, 

 as it were, and here I stuck while the wind freshened and the big bil- 

 lows of unpronouncable German words rolled over me, threatening 

 to swamp the whole outfit. As you so truly say with sweet naivet^', 

 as you always do, "it needs only to be known to become popular." 

 But, mein Freund, some of us gehaben a good ways to go jawohl, ver- 

 stehe nicht, aber we know him— that is, intimately. Here and there, 

 however, strildng expressions project themselves into the foreground, 

 and you've either got to pause and admire or fall over them — ^regular 

 shwo-de-freze, calling a halt. Listen- 

 So hort man verzweiflungsvoll by jingo hier aus, 

 Und di-lnken zwei lager beklagten mein haus. 

 There's a swing to that, suggestive of the mad rush of a huge wave 

 with you on the comb. Und vonce more — 



Nun hammert von haiisehole und bUgewasser lang, 

 Die Meisterschaftpaddel und ganzlich shebang. 

 Wir haben das roustabout nix komm heraus, 

 Doch kommt nehm von ninkompoop bandmaster Strauss. 

 Notice the shierookuro in that, will ye '. That is a picture of languor- 

 ous dolchy-far-rockaway, way up in q. You seem to see old Schlau- . 

 kopf over to windward, hanging to the sheet, with his bottom in 

 der wasser, while his sail bellying with the fitful gusts rocks him mit 



der vollbracht und fetterhch — alle so schone — ohne — ohne while 



afar in the offlng— 



Potztausend ! der dunder und blitzen vas hier, 

 Lachelnd zu buster of pretzel und bier. 

 Dey don' beat dat bel der Tennyson. .Ta, ven ve know him he is 

 bopular, I bet you. But the years are hastening on, and there's some 

 American I haven't digested yet. So I don't think Fritz's Canoe will be 

 popular with me, with exception of the music; that's perfectly en- 

 chanting. O. O. S.

 remarked that he could not put the six shots above the number in the 

 bullseye, which he showed him he could. He then took, up a five spot 



of spades and shot four spots out of five, and with the remaining shot 

 drove the tack that held the card up. Mr. Benj. Williams selected 

 eight pipes and six bullets and gave Mr. Beck 18 shots to take them all 

 down. Mr. Beck hit the first eight pipes and then shot at the bullets- 

 He hit the first three bullets and touched the fourth, leaving it swing- 

 mg. Loaded again and hit the next two, when Mr. Willia,ros said that 

 there was one more bullet left, meaning the swinging one. This bul- 

 let Mr. Beck hit in the second shot, making them in 16 shots. This 

 shootmg is pronounced by Mr. Conlin to be wonderfuL

Rifle Shooting Notes. 



On Thursday, March 9, the Hudsons will make a visit to the Green- 

 ville farmers and shoot the first match of a series with that club. 

 The Greenville club has been doing quite good work of late, but there 

 is big odds that the Marion boys will be the victors in the coming 

 series. 



There is a nmior afloat that a championship tournament will soon 

 take place at the headquarters of the Hudson Rifle Club to consist of 

 100 shots per man. open to all riflemen, for the championship of Hud- 

 son coimty. All clubs who feel interested in the movement are kindly 

 asked to communicate with John Kneer, secretary H. R. C, 31 Wales 

 ave., Jersey City, N. J. 



It is also rumored that the Miller Rifle Club are soon to disband and 

 reorganize, as there seems to be considerable dissatisfaction among 

 the members of that organization. It seems to be a hard matter to 

 keep rifle shooting up to the standard during the winter- months, and 

 it is for this cause that discontentment reigns in the wigwam of the 

 once noted club. 



George W. Graf, one of Jerse.y's oldest shooters, is now among the 

 members of the Hudson Rifle Club, and is doing remarkably fine shoot- 

 ing. The Eagle.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



With such hustlers on its roll as "Baker" Clark, Ned Banks, George 

 Zeth, Dr. Bell, Killetts and others, the Altoona Rod and Gun Club, 

 recently organized, should have a blooming future. Its groimds and 

 equipments, on top of one of the highest peaks of the picturesque 

 Wopsononock Mountains, cannot be excelled either for location or 

 convenience. The grounds are 2.800ffc. above sea level, and the shoot- 

 ing box is within 100yds. of the "Wopsy" station of the Juniata & 

 Wopsononock Railroad. From Poiut Lnoknut, just beyond the 

 grounds, may be obtained a magnificent view, embracing the entire 

 Juniata Valley and seven separate counties. We hope that before the 

 season closes one of the big associations will decide to hold a tourna- 

 ment on this beautiful spot. 



BRinoETON, N. J.. March 1.— The Bridgeton Rifle and Gun C!lub was 

 formally organized last evening. Sevei-a! preliminary meetings had 

 been held and last evening organiz.ation was completed by the adop- 

 tion of a constitution and by-laws, appointment of committees and 

 election of officers. The association is intended to encourage every- 

 thing legitimate in conaection with rifle practice and the jjleasure of a 

 sportsman. Tlie club starts with a goodly membership and encourag- 

 ing prospects Tlie oflicers chosen are as follows: President, Dr. 

 David R. Streets; Vice-President, Frank B. Williams; Secretary, A. M. 

 Trask; Treasurer, Wm. J. Banks; Oaptaiii, (^oortce L. Moore;' Direct- 

 ors, Dr. S. C. Tremaine, Fremont C. Weelis, Samuel Moore. 



All the "kick" of the expej-ts against the "jacl;: rabbit" sA'stem seems 

 to be that under the said .system thej- cannot be .assured of winning 

 enough to pay their exjicnses. -vvhich they already receive from the 

 firms they represent. The "jaelv rabbit" sj'stem has been indorsed by 

 aU the clubs that have given it a ti'ial, and has always dr-awn good 

 enti'y lists. Let it but receive a fair trial at the shoots of the big asso- 

 ciations and it will soon prove itself better than any of the existing 

 systems. We hope that at the coming tournament of the. WilmtQgton 

 Rod and Gun Club, the most of the 15 and 20-bird events will be shot 

 undei- the "jack rabbit" system. This club always attracts abig field 

 of entries, which this sy.stem would surely increase. 



ALTooNii. Blair County, Pa.. March 4.— This evening we organisred 

 the Altoona Rod and Gun Club at tlie Red Lion, "BUI" Clark's 

 hostelry. We have a membersliip now of almost fifty members. The 

 following officers for this year «e,re elected: Pres., G. T. Bell; Vice- 

 Pres., Frederick .lackel; Trca>;., J. F Killits: Sec'y. Edward Banks. 

 Directors, Dr. W. Y. Le^'eu^ornl, W. E. Bell. Ed Kottman, W. Parker, 

 M. A. McFarland, W. Wei-tli and J. II. IToltzinger. Capt.. W. G. 

 Clark. Our grounds will, of course, be at Wopsononock, where we 

 are excellently well fixed botli as ret:ards transportation to and 

 accommodation at the shooting park. —Ed-ward BjVnks. 



Baltimore, March 2.— The annual meeting of the Standard Gun Club 

 was held last night, and the following officers re-elected for the ensu-
