Dan S . Wadsworth, Sec'y.

£nmtt$ to (^orrezyondyite, 



No notice taken of anonymous communications 



H. W. V., Cincinnati.— In Michigan there is no close time for squir- 

 rels. No other game may be shot in June and July. 



C. W , New York— 1. Kindly tell me if, in firing a revolver, the ball 

 leaves the barrel before the recoil is felt. 2. Is it not the recoil that 

 often spoils the aim? Ans. 1. The recoil begins the instant the ball 

 starts from the chamber. 2. Yes. 



F. J. K., San Antonio, Tex— Is it the general rule at trap-shooting 

 when singles and doubles are shot at the same meeting to run the two 

 scores together and consider and report the aggregate as a siDgle 



score, or are the scores at singles and those at doubles kept as separate 

 scores? Which is the prevailing rule? Ans. The former. 



S. R. C, Appleton, Mo.— What is the difference between the stand- 

 ard American rifle target for 200yds. off-hand and 200yds. with a rest, 

 or are they the same? Ans. For rest snooting the bullseye of the 

 standard American target has been still further subdivided by placing 

 two circles inside the 10-circle counting 11 and 12. The diameter of 

 these circles is 2.33 and 1.41in. respectively. The possible is 120 instead 

 of 100 for ten shots. 



E. S. O., Kansas City, Kans.— Will you please tell me the derivation 

 and pronunciation of the name of that much talked of fish, the ouan- 

 aniche? If Spanish it would be pronounced as if spelled wananeechy, 

 the first a having the sound of a in wander, but I presume that it is 

 not a Spanish word. Ans. The name is from the Montagnais Indian 

 term, pronounced as if spelled whonanishe (all vowels short), and is the 

 French form of the word. See notes on this subject in our issue of 

 April 7, page 294. 



E. B., Utica, N. Y.— I have just returned from a fishing trip upon 

 which I caught some splendid trout from a lake which had been 

 stocked with brown trout. It was claimed by those who did the 

 stocking that the fish I caught were of this species and they pointed 

 out various differences between those caught and our speckled trout, 

 all of which could be seen in special cases, but there were no peculiar 

 shapes or colors or markings which I do not think I could match 

 with some brook trout. Have you in your paper ever given the dis- 

 tinctive mark of this fish as compared with the brook trout? Ans. 

 You will find a portrait of the brown trout in our issue of March 24 

 last. In his "Fishes of Pennsylvania" T)r. Bean writes of the brown 

 trout: -'On the head, body and dorsal fin usually numerous red and 

 black spots, the latter circular or X shaped, and some of them with a 

 pale border. A yellowish margin usually present on the front of the 

 dorsal and anal and the outer part of the ventral. The dark spots 

 are few in number below the lateral line. The ground color of the 

 body is brownish or brownish black, varying with food and locality."

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.
