I notice that a western contemporay, in pubhshing what purports to 

 be a synopsis of the Illinois State Sportsmen's Association Tourna- 

 ment," gives a garbled version of it in so far as it relates to the World's 

 Fair shoot, given under the auspices of the Association. The efiPbrts 

 of the sportsmen of Chicago to give a shoot, which will in a manner 

 at least have a national or international interest, is curtly dismissed 

 in a few cold words as follows: ''And then this year an open shoot to 

 continue two or three weeks will follow the State event, and this 

 would make a longer programme undesirable." What is the mission 

 of a sportsman's .iournal anyway? For answer, read Forest and 

 Stream each wtek. 



The business of Messrs. Von Lengerke & Antoine, 246 Wabash ave., 

 Chicago, has flourished so largely that more room is necessary. They 

 have made arrangements therefore to add more room to their present 

 quarters. 



THE GARFIELD CLUB. 



Chicago, May 13.— This popular shooting club had a large attend- 

 ance to-day at its grounds, near Robinson avenue and West Madison 

 street. The weather is still far from pleasant, yet to day was ce of 

 the most pleasant of this spring. The clouds bi-oke away toward the 

 latter part of the afternoon and there was a short novelty iu the way 

 of sunshine.' There were a few sweepstakes shot before the medal 

 shoot, which is the great event of the competition. Following are the 

 scores:

The Savannah Tournament. 



Savannah, Ga., May 10.— Inclosed you will find scores of shoot for 

 second day of our shoot, as you know we were to shoot two days, 

 Monday and Tuesday. Monday it commenced to rain before the first 

 race was called, and it rained the whole day cats end dogs, so we shot 

 a few sweeps between let-ups. Tuesday bid fair to be the same as 

 Monday, dark, lowering clouds and expectant rain at any moment. 

 This kept many shooters away who would otherwise have attended. 

 There were about a dozen of the faithful "old sharks" all shooting in 

 the same class, and the result, all broke about even with loss of shells 

 and targets. In the team race we advertised far and near that the 

 contest was open to any club in the South Atlantic States, for the pen- 

 nant emblematic of tlie championship, not a team dared enter the 

 lists, so the Independants shot their team against a picked team on 

 the grounds, giving to them one of their best shots, Ward Allen, the 

 well known duck hunter. 



The wind at times blew in strong gusts over the traps and kept the 

 boys guessing. This leaves the Independents champions of the South 

 Atlantic States for 1893, but they will waive that right and stand 

 ready to defend that title against any club In the South.

T. H. C, New York. — Please give me the pi'oper time for planting 

 wild celery seed, correct way, depth of water and all necessary points 

 to make a success of it. Adirondack Mountain lakes and streams in 

 the location. Ans. The seed should be planted in the fall in water s 

 foot or more deep. The pods containing the seed should be brokers 

 open and the seed sown broadcast. A correspondent of Forest ani. 

 Stream writing several j'ears ago mentioned the successful introduc 

 tion of this plant in a pond near Woodville, N. Y. Hesij s: "Thd 

 seed was sown in Big Sandy Pond, which is one mile long and a half 

 mile wide; and the water is from 4 to 10ft. deep. The bottom is sofi 

 mud in the center of the pond, the shores are sandy and gravelly. Ii 

 caught splendidly and we have had a big crop of wild celery evei 

 since it was sown in 1885. To make a sure thing as we supposed, wr 

 took some of the seed to a wild rice marsh on the edge of the pouc 

 where the water was from one to two feet deep, cleared two or thvm 

 places of rice and planted some celery; but to our surprise the wik! 

 rice completely killed it out." 



J. AV. L. B., Kansas City, Mo.— Please answer through your correi 

 spondents' department: 1. AVhat is the best way to catch frogs? 2 

 AVhat becomes of the frogs- during the winter? Ans. 1. There aru 

 many different methods of catching frogs, according as they ar»| 

 wanted for food or bait, and also according to the ingenuity of th< 

 man who catches them. They are caught for the mai ket by means o; 

 drag-nets, or they are shot and jigged. They will jump at a red fly o: 

 a hook baited with a red berry or red rag, and may be easily hookes 

 this way when one becomes expert at striking They ma.y be caugh 

 for bait with a hand net, but probably the method most in use is thi 

 old-fashioned way of getting down on all fours and catching then 

 with the hands. If you want the frogs for bait the consideration o 

 keeping them is of even more importance than catching. They mus 

 be kept lively and at the same time in such a way that all will not b 

 likely to escape when one is wanted for bait. A plan that fulfils thes 

 requirements is the Indian method of tying them by strings of bosS 

 wood bark. The fiber of this bark is very tough and of just .«uoh 

 stiffness that a single knot tied above the large joint of the leg wii 

 hold the frog. The string of frogs may be trailed in the water or lef 

 in some sha-iy spot in the boat, and will keep lively for days, whil 

 single individuals may be easily secured when wanted. 2. Frogs hibes 

 nate in the banks of ponds and streams during the winter.
