FOREST AND STREAM.

capes, or coats, and with hatches closed and waterproof aprons drawn 

 well up under our rubbers. 



The river is exceedingly beautiful down in this narrow Page Valley, 

 with the colassol walls of the Massanutton Range towering ever 

 above us close at our left as the river winds in and out along its base. 

 The cruise was so short that we were not tired; the weather was not 

 so offensively hot, owing to the rainstorm, and we arrived at our des- 

 tination in good time for an early camp. 



As Menifee's house stood immediately above us on the river bank, 

 scarce a stone's throw from the canoes, we did not like to squat on 

 his land without permission ; so I w r alked up to the house and asked it. 

 Mr. M. was away from home at the time and his wife seemed a little 

 distrustful of us, evidently not being favorably impressed with my 

 rather disreputable appearance, to say nothing of that of the rest of 

 the party, but did not object to our making camp ; so we were soon in 

 position "and supper merrily sizzling away, sending up a fragrant and 

 appetizing odor of bacon and coffee from' the indispensable and invalu- 

 able little camp stove, which I had placed on the rocks alongside of 

 the spring, which I could reach with my cup without moving from 

 my seat. 



A. large two story farmhouse occupied a commanding position on 

 the side of the mountain spur a short distance away across the river, 

 and we soon observed that our camp was attracting some attention 

 over there, and presently two young men and as many young ladies 

 were observed wending th<=ir way down the hill from the house toward 

 the river. when they soon appeared on the bank. 



One of the young men halloed lustily for some one to come and 

 ferry them across, but as no one appeared from the house on the bank 

 above us George good-naturedly pushed off in Mr. Menifee's big 

 wooden scow, which lay stranded near us and poled it across the 

 river, whence he presently returned with the party in question, 

 who made aD inspection of the camp and then departed across the 

 river as they came. 



A little later Mr. Menifee came riding down the path to the water, 

 hearty and hospitable and glad to see "us, in spite of the fact that he 

 had considerable difficulty in getting his horse down among our tented 

 canoes. I went up to the house while the boys were cleaning up the 

 supper utensils, to get Mrs. Menifee to bake us a few dozen biscuits in 

 the morning, and sat on the porch and talked with Mr. M., who, after 

 he had eaten his supper, in which he invited mo to join him, which in- 

 vitation 1 declined as I had already stowed away one hearty supper, 

 came down to the camp and chatted with us until 10 o'clock. 



I dare, say the old gentleman has not been up so late for a long time, 

 but the advent of strangers in isolated communities is generally a wel- 

 come event, bringing, as it does, new faces and new subjects of inter- 

 est and conversation, and making a little break in the monotony of 

 the little daily round of events necessarily circumscribed in isolated 

 farm life. 



Monday, Aug. 8.— To-day's run was a record breaker, and when we 

 finally dropped wearily ashore at Bunchbottom Ford at 6 o'clock and 

 went into camp after a really terrible day's run of only eighteen miles 

 it was with the decision to abandon the cruise at Riverton and not 

 finish on to Harper's Ferry. 



The day was most intensely hot and we suffered severely with the 

 heat, and when we reached Overall's at i P. M., thirteen miles below 

 our camp at Menifee's, and stopped for luuch, I was so overcome that 

 we had to lie by for nearly three hours, and the two boys were not 

 much better off. 



We got an early start from Menifee's this morning — the old gentle- 

 man sitting on the ro< ks and watching us off —and in ten minutes were 

 threading the mazes of the miles of reefs constituting Bucngardner's 

 and Keyser's Falls. The boat channels saved us an endless amount of 

 trouble in these peculiarly intricate, rough places. We were much 

 disgusted and disappointed, on reaching Goode's dam, to find the 

 famous shoot closed on account of low water, thus depriving us of a 

 most exciting plunge. A portage was easily made, however, and we 

 slipped easily over the 4ft. fall below, at that ugly reef where George 

 broke his paddle last year, by going in close to the bank. 



We paddled leisurely by the old Cedar Point camp ground about 

 11:30, without stopping, although the heat began to make itself felt 

 severely along here, and it would have been the part of wisdom to 

 have laid by in the shade until 4 o'clock instead of pushing on as we 

 did, but we were bent on making Harper's Ferry, and in order to get 

 through this week in time to get back home on Saturday it is neces- 

 sary to puah straight ahead at least twenty miles a day, so on we 

 went. 



The cruising is not nearly so good as it was last year, as we had a 

 few inches more water then, which makes all the difference in the 

 world, as the current flows much swifter with a little more water. 

 Last year in the eddies or still reaches of the river, the water moved 

 steadily and swiftly along, while this year there is little or no current 

 in these reaches, in many of them absolutely none, as it was in '88, 

 consequently the cruising is much more tedious, laborious and slow. 

 We had an interesting run through the clustered groups of islands in 

 the bend below Cedar Point, and down the long rapids below, with 

 its massive ledges looming darkly above the surface of the water, 

 and one exciting plunge over the almost perpendicular 6ft. fall at the 

 foot of the rapids. 



We were suffering severely for water, and we scanned the rocky 

 bank closely as we shot along down the boat channel, hoping to find 

 a spring, and we hailed with delight a little trickling rill in the face of 

 the massive overhanging cliff a mile above the Golden Rocks, along 

 whose base we were skirting, and a landing was quickly made to 

 slake our thirst from the clear, cold little stream which came out of 

 the face of the rock somewhere above and trickled down the preci- 

 pice through the moss, and we filled our cups by holding them under 

 the little stream instead of dipping up the water from a pool, as is 

 usual. 



We partook of a preparation containing lemon in it, while here, 

 after I had gone to an endless amount of trouble and half unpacked 

 my canoe in the effort to find the necessaary lemon, the process end- 

 ing finally in my losing my temper and pitching hatches and things 

 overboard, much to the amusement of the boys, who snickered 

 covert ly around a projecting buttress of the cliff. 



This spring is just at the terminus of the gigantic S formed by the 

 river in its sinuous course and extending back up for six miles, which 

 is the totem or emblem of the Shenandoah C. C, and which is em- 

 broidered in white on our little red silk pennants which fly from the 

 after decks of the canoes. 



After a short rest here and a smoke, during which we fully appreci- 

 ated the force of the scriptural reference to the shadow of a great 

 rock— for no shade seems as cool — we proceeded, and in an hour had 

 reached Milford or Overalls, where, as before stated, we lunched and 

 laid by for several hours in the scant shade of the 200ft, high iron 

 viaduct which here soars over the gorge through which Overalls 

 Creek finds its way down from the Blue Ridge to the river, for there 

 is no good shade here. 



Our short afternoon run was spiriiless and dull, as we all felt so used 

 up by the intense heat. The falls and rapids were numerous and 

 interesting, but gave us no trouble, as by this time we are well 

 acquainted with the river and know where to find the best water. 

 Our camping place at Brushbottom Ford was a good one, barring the 

 fact that water was some distance away across the fields and poor. 

 The river murmured past us, broad, swift and beautiful, and the flat, 

 sloping gravel bank upon which our tented canoes reclined was com- 

 pletely overhung by tbe spreading branches of the great sycamore 

 trees that lined the bank above us. We had a hasty supper of bacon 

 and eggs and hot coffee and turned in early, as we were all completely 

 used up. 



Tuesday, Aug. :-}.— Profiting by yesterday's uncomfortable experi- 

 ence, we made uo forced, all-day cruise to-day, but took things easy, 

 and wheu evening found us in camp again, we were not nearlv so 

 tired and played out as we were the night before. We had a finefish 

 breakfast this morning, the results of George's catch yesterday ffor 

 he keeps his rod strapped to the deck of his canoe and fishes "likely 

 places as he goes along). We made an early start and had a com- 

 fortable and enjoyable forenoon's cruise, barring the fact that an hour 

 after we starred Lacy snagged another hole in the stern of his canoe 

 ia shooting a tail, and an unpack and lie-by of an hour to repair dam- 

 ages was thereby rendered necessary. The falls and rapids were easily 

 run and we landed about the middle of the forenoon at old man 

 Foster's little place on the bank of the river for a rest and a cool 

 drink of water. 



CANOE NEWS NOTES. 



At about 5:15 P. M., on Dec 7, Woodward T. Norgrave, for many 

 years captain of the Red Dragorf CO, was instantly killed by stepping 

 in front of the Newtown express at Newtown station on the German- 

 town branch of the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad. Capt. Norgrave 

 has had a somewhat remarkable career, having served through the 

 rebellion, enlisting at the age of 10 years, returning honorably dis- 

 charged. Immediately follow ing his return from the war he served 

 a 8 mate to his father, who was captain of a merchantman, and sailed 

 over a great portion of the navigable, globe. He became identified 

 with canoeing in 1S76, and was an ardent advocate of the sport; he 

 was known as one of the first to introduce a modern canoe upon the 

 Delaware River and as the oldest canoeist on the river. He was a 

 follower of tbe "old school" of modern canoeing, being a persistent 

 cruiser and imbibing all the pleasure derived from the sport. Every 

 Saturday he left the club house during cruising weather for his weekly 

 cruise, and in consequence there was not a sequestered spot upon the 

 Delaware. River below Trenton that was not familiar to him. In dis- 

 position he was kind and generous, always ready to assist a brother 

 sportsman when in trouble and giving his experience when requested, 

 lie was a total abstainer, and was always courteous and observing. 

 His craft was the neatest in the club, everything being in perfect order. 



Being a wood-worker his services were frequently sought. His funeral 

 took place oh Sunday, Dec. 10, from his late residence, 1.023 Tioga 

 street. A large representation from the club paid their last respects 

 to their late captain. He leaves a wife and four children. Immedi- 

 ately after the funeral a special meeting of the club was held at the 

 residence, of Wm. Hamilton, 2,300 Tioga street, when action was taken 

 upon his death. A committee was appointed to draw up suitable res- 

 olutions expressive of the sentiments of the club, to have the same 

 engrossed and presented to his sorrowing family.— F. O. G. (Philadel- 

 phia, Dec. 24). 



The annual Executive Committee meeting of the Western Canoe 

 Association will be held at the Hotel Pfister. Milwaukee, on January 

 13, at 2.30 P. M. The Mahnawauk Canoe Club will entertain the visi- 

 tors at dinner the same evening,

The Rifle in California. 



San Franctcco, Cal , Dec. 21.— Editor Forest and Stream: Upon 

 my recent return from a few weeks' outing I found considerable stir 

 among our local riflemen. The San Francisco Schuetzen Verein's pro- 

 gramme for the International mid- winter Fair shooting festival was 

 just out, a copy of which I herewith inclose. 



The general opinion is that it is a very liberal [programme, consider- 

 ing that we are so far away from the great shooting centers even of 

 our own country. Upon looking into its details 1 find that the Verein 

 makes itself liable for cash prizes to the amount of $2 500 together with 

 expenses for markers, secretaries, music, etc., which will amount to 

 probably SI, 500 additional. Prizes of silverware, jewelry and other 

 merchandise presented by the large brewing companies, wholesale 

 merchants and friends of the Verein will undoubtedly reach a large 

 aggregate value. One object alone, already donated. I am informed, 

 is valued at over $250. Of course the "Golden Gate" medals will de- 

 mand in addition to the foregoing the outlay of $2,500 or more. 



I do not fully approve of the methed of disposing of the kingship of 

 the festival. It savors too much of the commercial spirit. Only a 

 man of considerable means can venture into the contest for this honor 

 with any hope of winning. As a considerable number of our best 

 local shots are men of small means they will practically be debarred 

 from making a serious fight for the king medaL Send some of the 

 valiant Zettlers to make the contest interesting. 



The distribution of shooting days could not have been made more 

 unsatisfactory for visitors from abroad. I am informed, however, 

 that a number of days' continuous shooting will be arranged for if the 

 patronage will justify it. Even the Chicago system (Sunday and 

 Monday) was better than that adopted by the local Verein (Sundays 

 and Wednesdays). The latter days were chosen, I am informed, to 

 please local shooters, as of course the chief patrons of the festival 

 will be from our own midst. However, I am in no sense antagonistic 

 to the festival. On the contrary I shall cheerfully drop a few dollars 

 into the treasury of the Verein and hope to drop a few bullets within 



the charmed 25-rin: 

 from the New Yor 



It is rumored that quite a delegation is coming 

 Independent Schuetzen Corps, as well as a num- 

 ber of prominent riflemen from other Eastern organizations. There 

 is one thing quite certain, namely, that the San Francisco Schuetzen 

 Verein has the ''will" and the "way" of entertaining visiting riflemen. 

 I can, moreover, assure our Eastern friends that everything in con- 

 nection with t he shoot will be done on the square. 



At the monthly medal shoot of the California Schuetzen Club, held 

 on Dec. 3, A. Strecker made the highest score of the year (449 rings, 

 20 shots, ho reentry), thus winning the diamond medal for the year, 

 unless tbe score is beaten at the "consolation" shoot next Sunday, an 

 event not likely. 



Two interesting military matches will be shot in Sacramento, our 

 capital city, next Sunday. Thirty men of Co. C, 1st Regiment, 

 N. G. O. of San Francisco, will shoot a similar team of the Oroville 

 Company of N. G. C, of Oroville, Cal. Also thirty men of Co. B, 1st 

 Regiment, of San Francisco, will, at the same time and place, shoot a 

 similar team of the Marysville Company, N. G. C, of Marysville, Cal. 

 These are some of the crack shooting companies of our State.

INTERESTING MATCH BETWEEN JUVENILES. 



Chicago, 111,, Dec. 27.— Yesterday evening it was my fortune to wit- 

 ness a little match which was as closely contested as nervily shot, and 

 as enthusiastically received by the spectators as any I ever attended. 

 Indeed, I have seen many a pigeon or rifle or pistol match involving 

 large sums of money which fairly fell flat on the public as compared 

 to this one. The fact that the contestants were both ten years old 

 boys did not detract from the match, and neither did it detract from 

 the skill and pluck displayed, for the scores were such as many men 

 could not equal. That the boys, one of them on his first appearance 

 in public, should do such work was matter of the greatest sur- 

 prise, and the large crowd of onlookers applauded them to the echo. 

 • Chicago had for sometime been without a first class target gallery 

 until Mr. L. G. Ingersoll and his sons, Fred, and L. F. Ingersoll, opened 

 their 50 and 75ft. ranges, at 310 State street. With good lights, plenty 

 of room, plenty of perfect weapons and all the proper appliances, 

 this gallery has at once sprung into first rank as the meeting place of 

 the lovers of the small-bore house gun, and bids fair to give the indoor 

 shooting interests of Chicago a much-needed chance to grow\ AVitness 

 the recent organization of the Chicago Rifle and Pistol Club, with a 

 membership already of" a couple of dozen and a prospect of goodly 

 growth. 



Tuesday evening the Messrs. Ingersoll announced a little attraction 

 in the shape of an exhibition shoot by Mr. J. E. Long and his ten year 

 old son Clarence, of Lafayette, Ind., and the gallery was well 

 crowded. Master Clarence, stripped down to shirt, medals and 

 knickerbockers, showed to be a short, hearty looking lad, apparently 

 altogether unconcerned and unconscious of the skill he possessed with 

 the rifle. He broke composition balls with the rifle upside down, 

 sidewise, from right or left shoulder, overhead or between his knees, 

 bending over backward or standing on his head, his work being 

 practically without blunder. He then put out a burning match held 

 m his father's fingers, cut a card held in the same way, snuffed a 

 cigar held in his father's hps, and finally cracked a bit of broken ball 

 about the size of a quarter out from between the thumb and finger of 

 the same trustful individual. The boy seemed to have no nerve and 

 no interest in the business at all, and his shooting was swift and con- 

 fident, though not animated. Mr. Long followed him with an exhibition 

 of angle shots executed by means of a mirror attached to the rifle 

 stock. Both he and Master Clarence used Colt's sliding action guns, 

 specially made and very handsome arms. 



When Master Clarence removed his overcoat his bright shirt and 

 medals were gazed on with admiration and awe by Master Alfred Bis- 

 son, a ten years old Chicago boy who weighs 551bs. or so, has a timid 

 Iook, and has legs about as big as lead pencils. Master Bisson ha I 

 bee i shooting an the swinging target and ringing it with surprising 

 rtgulurity. He had also been breaking a good many of the ru nnin < 

 glass balls on the 75ft. range, three balls at a time being suspended oo 

 a diag frame which traveled on a wire the full length of the range — 



a^device common in "galleries, and providing shooting quite puzzling 

 enough, as there is not only rise and fall to be provided for in the 

 shot, but also side motion from the wobbling of the frame. It was 

 suggested that the boys shoot a. race at these moving balls, and the 

 little fellows quietly agreed. 



THE BOYS WERE PLUCKY. 



Naturally, under the circumstances, the boys should have been 

 nervous and excited, as it was a novel match and one to be shot under 

 considerable pressure, as th<» talk in regard to the merits of each hoy 

 was very general in the crowd. The boys, however, were plucky as 

 any two shooters who ever faced a score, and if their anxiety affected 

 their shooting, one could not tell where it happened, for the work was 

 really skillful. The weapons were .22 rifles, both Colts, and the range 

 anywhere past the shooting boundary of 25 feet, the shot allowable 

 going and coming, all three balls to be broken off the traveling frame 

 before a new ball was put on, each to shoot at 15 flying balls. 



Master Clarence shot first and broke 12 out of his 15. He then went 

 over and played with the swineing lion, though there was a faint 

 smile on his face when be saw that Master Alfred had only broken 11 

 out of his 15. The performance of the latter, however, was so good 

 and plucky, he being only an amateur and unused to public 1 hooting, 

 that the spectators clamored for another race between the two. The 

 boys were silent, but game, and they went again with the following 

 result: 



Master Clarence Long 011111011111100-11 



Master Alfred Bisson 111101110101111—12 



Great applause met the win of the least of the little fellows, and the 

 surprise was general at the evenness of the gait shot by both. There 

 had been no fluking and no nervousness and no Irregular spurts, but 

 both were rpally doing skillful work. The interest was well nigh ex- 

 citement as the youngsters stepped up to shoot off their tie, with re- 

 sult as below : 



Master Clarence Long 111010111101111—12 



Master Alfred Bisson , . . ..110110111110011— 11 



Master Clarence thus won the series, but with oue shot difference 

 out of the 45, and one dusted ball not scored by Master Alfred, the 

 event was such a near thing that to lose was no disgrace. This was a 

 real, genuine, out-and-out race, and no faking. I would go a long 

 way to see these boys shoot again, and so would many others. 



Master Bisson is a very delicate, looking boy, but he seems to be a 

 natural shooter. He is said never to have shot a ride in his life 

 before last September. In his competition with his more experienced 

 rival he furnished us all an evening highly enjoyable and long to be 

 remembered. 



A HARD GAME. 



I always like to know where there is a hard shooting game of one 

 sort or another against which I can run outside shooters who are 

 panting for trouble, and I think if any one is looking for that sort of 

 thing in the .22 target rifle line, at 50 or 75ft., he can find what he wants 

 at 310 State street. The. two Ingersoll boys, L. F. and Fred, exception- 

 ally quiet and nice young fellows, too, will shoot a team race 

 with any two men for $50 to $500, 100 shots to the man. Probably one 

 of them would shoot any single comer on the same terms. They do 

 some very close work, and dozens of their targets are on the possible 

 line right along. It is a trifle dull in trap lines just now. Will any 

 one be good enough to tread on the tail of the Chicago coat as to 

 smallbore rifle shooting? E. Hough.

Greenville Rifle Club. 



On Christmas afternoon a bakers' dozen of riflemen made up from 

 the Greenville Club and their friends, assembled in Armbruster's 

 Schuetzen Park for the purpose of participating in sweepstake and 

 pool shooting. The day was the warmest Christmas known to the 

 oldest inhabitant, and the assembled riflemen took advantage of the 

 occasion by putting in a fine afternoon's sport. Capt. Hansen, of the 

 Excelsior Club, was present and assisted in making the shooting 

 interesting. Only four entered the 50-shot sweep, Messrs. Hansen, 

 Chavant, Plaisted and Collins. Tbe match developed a pretty race 

 between three of the four engaged in it. At the finish Plaisted led 

 Chavant one point and Hansen 9 points. Collins brought up the rear 

 with a total of 1,003. 



The other shooters not engaged in the 50-shot match filled in the 

 time shooting off 3-shot pools. 



All hands kept up the fusilade at the bullseye until the ammunition 

 was exhausted, when an adjournment was taken to the hotel dining 

 hall, where Mrs. Armbruster had prepared a fine turkey lunch with 

 all the necessary fixings. With the clearing away of the lunch came 

 a pleasant hour of social intercourse in which rifle shooting interests 

 and match shooting predominated. It was agreed upon by those pres- 

 ent to meet again on New Year's afternoon and shoot off a fifty-shot 

 match, half winners and half losers, handicap rules. The members 

 of the Greenville Club hope to see many of their brother shooters 

 from our local clubs present on that day to participate in the day's 

 sport. Scores:

Zettler Rifle Club. 



The weekly gallery shoot of the Zettler Club on Tuesday night of 

 last week did not have its usual attendance, but the few regulars who 

 were on hand succeded in making good scores. The competition for 

 the champion medal resulted in a tie between President Walther and 

 Henry Holges, each making 245 points. The honors for the high score 

 for the night, were divided between Messrs. Busse, Holges and Ross, 

 each having 248. The good work of Holges at the. last three meetings 

 puts him in the lead for first position on the prize list ; his lead, how- 

 ever, is only such as to stimulate his competitors to renewed exertions, 

 and from now on to the end of the season the race will be decidedly 

 interesting. The scores:
