Princeton College Boys. 



Princeton, N. J., May 11.— The first oC a series of team contests 

 between six of the Princeton tigers and a like number of veteran still- 

 hunters from the city of Trenton occurred to-day. The Tigers lost by 

 a scratch, but died game. Conditions of match were 30 birds per man, 

 15 rapid firing, known trap and angle, 15 one man up, unknown trap, 

 known angle, 16yds rise. The teams alternated at the trap after each 

 5 rounds. On the first round Trenton led by two birds, but at the end 

 of the second they had not increased the lead. End of third round 

 saw them seven birds to the good; but with the beginning of the un- 

 known angles the Tigers came down, tooth and nail, and down, too, 

 came the Trenton's lead, in the fourth round. More of the same gave 

 the home team a lead of two birds in the fifth round. But the strain 

 of their first team race was a little too much for the nerve of some of 

 the Princeton amateurs, and the professionals from Trenton went 

 home winners by one bird. Score:

May 17.— At the Interstate Fair Grounds, Trenton, the second of the 

 series of three matches between teams of six men each from the 

 Princeton and Trenton Gun Clubs was shot Wednesday before a good 

 crowd. Charlie Allen, the popular gun dealer, led the Trenton con- 

 tingent, and Dr. Tiffany, as usual, captained the Princetons. It was 

 evident at a glance that there was "a nigger in the fence ''— or in the 

 trench, which amounts to the same thing— and that things had been 

 "fixed," for no two birds went at the same height or speed, and none 

 of the angles were true to rule. But the smooth-faced college lads, 

 though very young and guileless, were "up to snuff," and decided that 

 if their hosts could stand it, they would "stay in " It was a game 

 that two had to play at, and the outcome showed that the hoary- 

 headed tricksters were "hoist by their own petard," for Princeton won 

 easily by 13 birds, gaining and holding the lead from the first. The 

 conditions were same as in first match:

Chamberlin Tournament. 



Fbequent notices have already been given in these columns of the 

 Chamberlin Cartridge and Target Co. 's tournament, which promises 

 to make the dates set for it at Cleveland, June 19. 20 and 21, historic in 

 the annals of trap-shooting. In our advertising columns to-day appear 

 some details which should be read with care. 



Pansy Defeats Marlborough. 



Kingston, N. T., May 12.— In a team shoot between the Pansy Gun 

 Club of this city and the Marlborough Gun Club, on the grounds of 

 the latter, ten men to a team, 25 Empire targets per man, known 

 angles, the Pansys won. The weather was quite unfavorable for 

 good work, the light being very inferior. In the evening the members 

 of both clubs, through the courtesy of Mr. McMullen, were served 

 with an elaborate dinner at his hotel. This ended a most enjoyable 

 day's sport for every one. Scores:

Missoula Rod and Gun Club. 



Missoula, Moht., May 13.— For once this season all nature smiled on 

 the shooters of the Missoula Rod and Gun Club, as they stepped to 

 the score for the purpose of breaking as many as each was able of the 

 15 bluerock targets thrown into the air at known angles, 16 and 18yds. 

 rise. Although the afternoon was a perfect one. only a dozen shoot- 

 ers participated in the medal contest, and the average of these was at 

 best no improvement on the averages heretofore made under less 

 favorable circumstances. "Bob" Rogers, with but one miss in his 

 score, will wear the gold medal this week, which, by the way, has just 

 been received by the club, and is a beauty. The Class B medal 

 changed hands, being captured by J. P. Menard, with a^score identical 

 with that of the Class A winner.

No notice taken of anonymous communications 



J. M. H.. Johnsonburg.— Write to Mr. J. B. White, Norfolk, Va. He 

 will probably be able to post you. 



J. B. W., Philadelphia.— You will do well to read the surf fishing 

 paper in our angling columns to-day. 



E. N —Will you kindly inform me throus-h the columns of your 

 valuable paper whether the "grass plover," or as it is technically 

 called, Bartram's sandpiper, will lay and hatch a second time if the 

 eggs are taken from the first nest? I knew of a nest that had been 

 robbed before the eggs had hatched, and I am anxious to know if the 

 old bird will lay again. Ans. The old bird will no doubt lay again, 

 but probably not in the same nest. 



T. B., Albany, N, Y.— If I purchase a gun in London and have it 

 shipped to Canada can I go up and bring it in the United States with- 

 out paying duty? Will the Canadian Government ask a duty on a gun 

 made in London and how much? How much is the duty here on a 

 gun costing $d00 in L /iiuon? Are dogs broke in the South too fast 

 to use here for partridge shooting? Are field trial stock too fast 

 altogether for this section? Ans. 1. No. 2. $76. 3. Not of neces- 

 sity. 4. Not of necessity. Read recent discussions of this subject in 

 our kennel columns. 



W. H. W., East Auburn, Me. — Will you kindly give me any infor- 

 mation in regard to feed for blackgame and capercailzie in pens. I 

 have not been able to obtain any kind of grain or seed that they will 

 eat readily. They will eat birch buds, but those will soon be gone. I 

 should like some information. Ans. Mr. Verner de Guise, who con- 

 ducts a successful pheasantry at Mahwah, N. J., replies to the above: 

 The food of the young capercailzie consists of materials very similar 

 to that of the common grouse; chiefly may be enumerated the several 

 sorts of cereals, when obtainable, blackberries, cranberries and 

 juniperberrias, the leaves and shoots of fir, the buds of birch and 

 willow and several other trees, and a fair amount of insect food. The 

 young require various insects, chiefly ants and worms. I would also 

 think that a rich custard of fresh milk and eggs cooked till the whey 

 is entirely separated, and then dried and cooled, would make an ex- 

 cellent food for the young birds. The chief food blackgame chicks 

 consume for two or three weeks, is the seed and small flowers of a 

 small rush termed the "spret" or "sprit" in England, which grows 

 very thick and close on moorlands and commons and copses near 

 boggy places. Unless the hen and chicks are placed on a dry piece of 

 turf near some running water where "spret" is abundant, poor suc- 

 cess will result. The young must be kept free from all disturbance, 

 animal or human, and the different berries loved by grouse should be 

 given them.

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.
