On Burden's Pond Grounds. 
Westerly, R. I,, July 9.— A number of the boys assembled on the 
Burden's Pond shooting grounds one day last week to enjoy a little 
sport with the targets. The day was pleasant and warm, although 
quite a breeze of wind was blowing across the traps, consequently 
making the "mud cakes" fly very unevenly, those going with the 
wind flying low and very fast, while those thrown in the opposite 
direction traveled much slower, keeping at a higher elevation, thus 
making-it difficult to hit every one. The shooting commenced a few 
minutes after 3 o'clock P. M. and lasted until near sunset. At the 
time of starting in on the third event the wind had all died out, there- 
fore the targets sailed through the air steadily and at the proper ele- 
vation, making them a great deal easier to get. Clark is not consid- 
ered the best every day shot, but it happened to be one of his days, 
and so he managed to find them pretty regularly, the verdict of all 
the others being that he greatly outdid himself throughout the entire 
shoot. In the third event he shot against the score of 24 out of- 25 
made by J. M. Lewis, Jr., on last New Year's Day and broke 25 
straight. Appended are the scores in full, 25 targets per man.

About the best of it all was, at this point there were 25 loaded shells 
left, Chapman and Pingley agreeing to shoot 12 apiece, and the one 
breaking the fewest targets should pay for the whole, 50 cents, which 
resulted in the following:

Tode, Providence, R. I.— We advise you to read "Big Reel's" article 
on surf fishing in our issue of April 3, 1890. 
C. L. B., Highlands, N. C— We cannot give you the address of 
makers of birch bark canoes, they are made by Indians in the Maine 
woods, but are not sold in New York. The canvas-covered canoes 
are much superior and little more expensive. 
H. D. P., Fitchburg, Mass.— Is there any law to prevent any one fish- 
ing in a protected brook for trout if they stand on a bridge in the 
highway? Ans. In the lack of specific details which might modify 
the opinion, we should say that the law would protect the stream even 
against highway fishermen. 
F. W. E., Buffalo, N. Y.— 1. Are there any elk left in Colorado and 
New Mexico? 2. If so, where in both Colorado and New Mexico can 
they be hunted with any prospect of success? Ans. 1. Yes, a few in 
both States. 2. It is difficult to give localities. Estes Park used to be 
a good locality, and is easily accessible. There are a few elk in the 
Snake River country, Colorado, and in many other places in the main 
range. The Colorado law forbids killing elk except "when necessary 
for immediate use." 
M. T. L., Minneapolis.— The cutting of a good jib is an art only 
acquired by long practice and a thorough knowledge of sail making, 
The jib should be full on the luff, rounding out a little under the stay 
wh«n sbeei ed home. There is no rule we can give you for cutting a 
jib. The length of spinaker boom depends on many things besides 
main boom ; it is limited by the clubs to the distance from mast to 
jibstay.

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.
