FOREST AND STREAM. 



[July 28, 1898. 



Parkway Rod and Gun Club. 



Thk members of the Parkway Rod and Gun Club held their third 

 annual outing and shooting festival at Dexter's Pa(k on Monday, 

 July 17. Tha attendance was not as large as expected, on account of 

 the hot weather; the eleven events as arranged vfere shot off with an 

 extra. The bluerock events did not fill very well, but the live bird 

 events drew a fair lot of shooters; tne birds were good flyers and were 

 shot under Association rules. Nearly all of the Long Island clubs were 

 represented on the grounds, but a good many did not shoot, the major- 

 ity complaining of the heat The shooting commenced at 10 o'clock 

 and was kept up until 6:30 with a slight intermission for lunch. 



At the close of the shoot the members and friends adjourned to the 

 picnic park and spent the balance of the day in dancing, etc. The

Shooting in Michigan. 



Inclosed I send you the scores made by the Lansing Rod and Gun 

 Club, of Lansing, in their five-man team race in the State champion- 

 ship gotten up by the Shooting and Fishing Hublishing Co. This con- 

 test was at 30 singles, one man up, unknown traps but known angles, 

 and 10 pair of doubles, shot under the American Shooting Association 

 rules as revised. The Lansing Hod and Guu Club had sent the names 

 of their team to Shooting and Fishing before they had published the 

 rule that all that was necessary was for a shooter to reside inside of 

 the State in which he shot so that the club as entered by Lansing were 

 all members of the Lansing Rod and Gun Club and had been for years. 

 The scores are as follows;

Chicago Traps- 



At a meeting of the special committee of the Illinois State Sports- 

 men's Association, July 30. an effort was made to fix the date of hold- 

 ing the national convention on Sept. 21, at the time the Exposition 

 dog show is held. It is also contemplated to have a Sportsmen's Day 

 in connection with the Exposition. Famous leading sportsmen of 

 every class of sport will be present to discuss matters of national in- 

 terest. Uniformity of game laws will be considered. The manage- 

 ment of the Exposition has given much encouragement to those hav- 

 ing the affair in charge. 



Since accepting Capt. A. H. Bogardus's challenge to shoot a match 

 at 100 live birds im behalf of an unknown, Mr. Frank E. Butler, man- 

 ager of the winsome shooter Miss Annie Oakley, has had many inquir- 

 ies as to whether the unknown is Miss Oakley. During a conversa- 

 tion with him on Friday, July 21, he assured me that Miss Oakley was 

 not the one who would shoot the match mentioned. It will be remem- 

 bered that the match is somewhat novel in that the conditions are all 

 in favor of slow shooting. Briefly the^ are as follows: Guns 12-gauge 

 under 81bs., one or two traps, 15yds. rise. BOyds. boundary, use of one 

 barrel only, birds to be retrieved by a dog. A circle to be drawn 

 around the traps 20yds, in diameter, and any bird killed within the 

 circle to be scored a lost bird. If one trap is used the match to be a 

 trap and handle one; if two traps are used, choice of traps to be 

 tossed for, trap to be that known as the H and T trap. Position of the 

 gun to be any that the shooter chooses. The match will be shot be- 

 tween Sept. 2 and Oct. 1, B. Waters. 



Match Shoots at Coney Island. 



A SERIES of four matches was shot off at Coney Island on Friday 

 July 21, between C. E. Morris, B. T. Langcake and J. B. Collins. The 

 conditions were two matches under Hurliagham rales and two undfT 

 modified Long Island, 35 birds in each match, 38yds. rise, $100 each; 

 the highest to win and the lowest to pay for the birds and expenses. 

 Morris was the winner with 88 out 100, Langcake second with 83, 

 Collins 64, The score:

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



T. C. P, — You will find the information in our shooting columns. 



F. M. B., Macomb, 111.— Will you kindly say whether the Legislature 

 of Arkansas passed a law requiring non residents to pay a license fee 

 to hunt or flsh in the State? Ans. No, but there is a law forbidding 

 the exportation of flsh. or game. This was enacted m 1889. 



Pine Trbk, N. B., Canada. — I have recently observed a to me new 

 bird. Size and shape about that of the canary. Plumage, a dull ashy 

 brown. Its chief characteristic is its motions, which are identical 

 with those of the teter snipe; is a persistent searcher on the ground 

 for insects and larvte. Can you from this imperfect description iden- 

 tify it? Ans. It is impossible to say with certainty what the bird is. 

 However, we can guess, if that will do, and our guess is that it is a 

 warbler of the genus Sciurus, either the so-called golden-crowned 

 thrush or oven bird, or the water thrush.
