Weir City Trap Notes. 
Weir City, Kan., Aug. 16.— I inclose herewith scores made by mem- 
bers of the Business Men's Gun Club, at this place, at their last regular 
medal contest. The day was pleasant, as a light shower in the morn- 
ing made the air cool after a two weeks' drought. The usual handicap 
(of birds allowed) was arranged, and from the appended scores our 
handicap for this shoot was not very far wrong. 
Regular medal contest, 25 singles:

Mcllhany won second gold medal. After the medal contest several 
sweeps were shot off, the boys taking advantage of the pleasant day 
to practice up for the open shoot given at this place on Wednesday, 
the 22d inst. Our boys are all improving, and within another year the 
Business Men will be right, in the front. Mamaiajkk.

" Trap-Shooter's Beady Reckoner." 
There has just come from the Forest and Stream press an ex- 
tremely useful pocket reference book for trap-shooters. Its full title 
reads: "Trap-Shooter's Beady Reckoner. A series of tables showing 
at a glance the division of purses under all conditions, simple and 
complex, with entries from one to fifty. For use by individuals, clubs, 
and tournaments. Compiled by J. C. Clark, Secretary Kansas State 
Sportsmen's Association." Price 25 cents, postpaid, by Forest and 
Stream Pub. Co. 
A. E. H., Williamsport, Pa.— A brook trout has scales. 
C. S.— The powder is suited for use in the gun. The manufacturers 
will supply full direction as to charges. 
G. H., Toronto, Can.— Jack rabbits are true hares, as are also cot- 
tontails, the naturalists of the Ontario Legislature to the contrary 
notwithstanding. Jack rabbits when hotly pursued, and cottontails 
also, run into holes of other animals, or into stone fences, or into hol- 
lows in the rocks, but they are not in any sense burrowers as is the 
English rabbit. The jack rabbit of the Western plains is not a very 
distant relation of the varying hare which is a native of your own sec- 
tion. The history of the North American Leporidce has been written 
by Dr. Coues and Dr. Allen in one of the folio volumes of the United 
States Geological Survey. Of course, the law which allows cottontails 
to be shot at all seasons of the year is a bad one. 
Last Personally-Conducted Tour to the North via

aries, and reservation of seats on the train, address Tourist Agent.

The exquisite pictures of "Sport with Rod and Gun" that are sent 
this year as premiums with the old reliable Forest and Stream, the 
American sportsman's favorite journal, are gems of art worthy a 
place on the walls of any home Pictures of this class are a sur- 
prise to those who have been accustomed to the inferior and crude 
productions sent out as premiums by many publishers. People of 
artistic tastes will be quick to recognize and appreciate the vigorous 
treatment of the subjects and the exquisite coloring of the water 
colors, and sportsmen who have been fortunate enough to indulge in 
the fascinating sport of fishing for the gamy bass off Block Island 
will be delighted with the splendidly natural reproduction of the 
scenery and incidents of the sport at those famous old fishing 
grounds.— Joplin (Mo.~) Herald.

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
