The Buckeyes Defeat the Shermans. 
For two years the Sherman Gun Club, of Columbus, Ohio, have been 
holders of the Sportsmen's Review challenge cup, none of the other 
teams being able to wrest the honors from them. A short time ago, 
however, they received a challenge from the Buckeye Gun Club, of 
Dayton, the place that turns out such shooters as Rollo Heikes, Ed. 
Rike, etc.. and where every "dark horse" you run against develops 
into a record breaker. The challenge was accepted and the Sherman 
boys at once concluded that they had taken a very large and not 
easily to be disposed of contract, but they had been in many a hard- 
fought battle, and the fact of having to shoot against record braakers 
had no effect on them. 
The match took place at Columbus on July 28, the teams compris- 
ing four men each, and each man shooting at 50 singles, known traps, 
unknown angles. J. C. Porterfield was referee, L. Fink and J. F. 
Freene judges, and Louis Ballinger official scorer. The duties of all 
these officials were performed satisfactorily, no disputes arising. 
The contest was one of the most exciting ever shot in Ohio, and it 
was only by the running of a clean score by Rollo Heikes that the 
match was won by the Buckeyes. Alkire of the Shermans dusting 
but not scoring his forty-ninth target. Over 200 spectators were 
present, many ladies being included, and they were extremely enthu- 
siastic whenever an extra good shot was made. The scores follow:

These scores show an average of 90$ for the Shermans, and 90 50$ 
for the Buckeyes, a team average for eight men of 90.25. Remarkable 
as these scores were they were made under almost perfect conditions, 
there being no wind, the day being only comfortably warm and the 
traps and targets going through their part without a balk.

Wants a Name for a Country Place.— We are anxious to find a 
name for our country place on the coast of Maine. As we have often

us in finding one. 
J. A. E., M.D., Manhattan avenue, New York.— Will you kindly in- 
form me during what month moose and caribou shed their horns in 
New Brunswick, Can. ? Ans. A few moose,|it is said, drop their horns 
in December, but the majority retain theirs into January and a few 
into February; the old bull caribou shed theirs in November, while the 
cows, when they have horns, retain them until the spring. As a rule, 
old animals shed their horns a little earlier than young ones. 
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.
