Murphy vs. Miller. 



Philadelphia. April 16.— The long talked of match between Peter 

 Murphy of the Neck and F. Miller of Paschalville, both suburbs of this 

 city, came off to-day on the Gloucester race track at Gloucester City, 

 N J For a long time before this match both the contestants were 

 going to kill all their birds, and of course all that would have to be 

 done at the end of the match would be to toss up a penny to see 

 which would win, but what a change was there. Miller started the 

 match with a miss. Murphy his share with a good kill of a straight 

 driver, and it looked as If Murphy intended to make his threat good as 

 he killed his first six in good style while Miller only killed two and 

 then he seemed to lose sight of the birds altogether, missing five 



St Thf match was one of the old-fashioned kind and a kind that no 

 sportsman likes to see— Rhode Island rules modified, 26yds. rise, one 

 trap, trap and handle for each other, and of course they were a good 

 lot of birds, being the best each could find for his opponent. 



The race was at 25 pigeons each for $50 a side, and after Miller 

 missed his nineteenth bird he gave up his race and proposed another. 

 The scores of the first race were:

Mr. J. Frank Kleinz. the champion wing shot of Pennsylvania, was 

 referee and gave satisfaction to all parties. 



After the first five birds had been shot at of course there was no 

 betting on the race as every one could se« that Murphy was in much 

 the best form, but the betting on the birds was very lively and the 

 friends of each contestant did all in their power to get the opposing 

 shooter rattled. 



Miller immediately proposed to shoot a race of seven birds for $10, 

 which was just as promptly accepted by Murphy. This match was to 

 be shot from two traps, 30yds. rise, 50yds boundry, use both barrels, 

 gun to be held as the shooter pleased. Miller pulled himself together 

 and shot a splendid race; in fact they both shot well. Miller killed all 

 his birds; used his second barrel three times, twice for safety. Mur- 

 phy only used his second barrel once; he missed his sixth bird. The 

 scores were: 



Miller 1121221—7 Murphy 121110-5 



There were about 300 people on the grounds, and another match was 

 proposed, but it will be a long time before it comes off. H. T. 



Rollo Heikes was in Form. 



One of the greatest exhibitions of target shooting ever witnessed 

 was given on Saturday, April 14, by Rollo O. Heikes at Bushwood Park, 

 the residence of Col. P. G. Sanford, of the Winchester Arms Company, 

 at Saugatuck, Conn. Mr. Heikes went to Bushwood Park on invitation 

 of Mr. Sanford, in order to show to a number of his friends the pos- 

 sibilities of a gun in good hands 



Heikps used a new Winchester repeating shotgun, TJ. M. C. smokeless 

 shells and 3drs. of American wood powder. His first performance was 

 in shooting at 150 bluerock targets, known angles, of which he broke 

 146. He then shot at 10 targets, unknown traps, breaking 9; next, 

 under expert rule, he broke 20 straight; shot at 10 pairs and broke 

 them all and ended this phenomenal performance by having three traps 

 sprung simultaneously and breaking the three targets. The total 

 number shot at was 203, of which he broke 198. 



Detailed scores of this wonderful work are here given:

 ocean, making it very unpleasant to shoot, but twelve of the members 

 went to the club ground and held the fifth regular shoot of the Aber- 

 deen Rod and Gun Club for the gold medal. Having just received the 

 new Peoria blackbird, and they flying stronger than the old ones, the 

 score was not up to the average shoots. Chas. Koehler won the medal 

 for the third time, making 16 but of 20 birds, Sherman and Sherwood 

 following with 13 each. Jake Kraber carried off the leather medal,

No notice taken of anonymous communications 



J. L. C. — We would be happy to hear something from you or your 

 friends about salt water fishing experiences. 



Old Reader.— Will some correspondent give me through these col- 

 umns information regarding the Rideau Lakes, near Kingston, 

 Canada— quality of fishing, accommodations, etc.? 



T. H., Jr., Washington, D. C— When is the best time of the year to 

 fish for black bass with the fly in the Shenandoah and Potomae rivers? 

 Do black bass rise to the fly in April and May? Ans. We have had 

 reports of good bass fishing in those waters in April and May, both 

 with fly and minnow. 



S. T. C, Elmwood. Conn.— Which will thrive in the highest tempera- 

 ture of water, and how high, brook, rainbow or brown trout? Ans. 

 Rainbow trout will endure the highest temperature. They have been 

 kept for a short time in water above 80° Fahrenheit, but they thrive in 

 cooler water, say 60° to 65". Brown trout prefer clear, cold, rapid 

 streams. 



R. S. K. — 1. Is a .44-40 Winchester big enough for deer, or what 

 caliber would you advise me to get? 2. Can I use nitro as well as 

 black powder in a Winchester repeating shotgun, model of 1893? 

 Ans. 1. The .44-40 is large enough for short range work. For long 

 range shooting in the open, however, a rifle burning more powder and 

 having a flatter trajectory is necessary. 2. Yes. 



F. P. V., Greenwood Lake. Ohio.— Have you any knowledge of some 

 place where I can get the young fry of the ring perch of our reser- 

 voirs, say about 2in. long, at any rate, large enough to take care of 

 themselves, by dumping them in the shallow water in the spring 

 among the lilies and weeds. Would this be tha best way to get a 

 stock of this kind of fish? Where the black bass exist, if the parent 

 fish were put into the lake they would be liable to be caught out with 

 hook and line before the spawning season or the young large enough 

 to care for themselves, as fishing is let during the entire fishing 

 season. Ans. We cannot refer you to any one to supply the young 

 fish; but if you start a few of the old ones there will be a plentiful 

 stock in a year or two.

It will give us great pleasure to forward a copy of our catalogue to any 

 one who "goes a-fishing." Some people charge for their catalogues, some 

 charge for the postage, some charge for both. We are more than willing to 

 give away our catalogues and prepay postage on them. No angler, after 

 looking at the catalogue, can resist buying from us or from our trade- 

 customers all the fishing-tackle he can afford to pay for. That is where we 

 get back a good deal more than cost of catalogue and postage.
