FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Sept. IS, 1894. 
Manitou Beach Club. 
Rochester, N. Y., Sept, 5.— Editor Forest and Stream; Inclosed 
are the scores made at the tournament of the Manitou Beach Rod and 
Gun Club, on Labor Day. 
The chief feature of the day was the contest between Charles Skin- 
ner, aged 12 years, son of George W. Skinner, of Manitou Beach, and 
Bradley Palmer, aged 14, son of Joseph W. Palmer, of this city. Both 
of the lads have won for themselves laurels in the handling of the 
shotgun, and there was much interest manifested in the match by the 
old gunners. The Grand View Beach Railroad Co., to make the con- 
test more interesting, donated a beautiful gold badge to be given to 
the winner. The contest was for 100 birds and was divided into four 
sections of 25 each. Master Skinner took the lead at the beginning 
and held it until the end, thus capturing the prize. In the first quarter 
he did remarkable shooting, succeeding in dropping 24 out of 25 birds. 
The summary of the event was as follows: 
Skinner 1111110111111111111111111-24

This Is the second time Master Skinner has defeated Palmer. Several 
weeks ago Judge Warner presented a badge for a 50-bird race, and 
Skinner won by the score of 39 to Palmer's 38. Brad. Palmer will be 
remembered by those who attended the State shoot at Utica the past 
summer. It was there he made the remarkable run of 54 straight.

New England Tournament. 
Putney, Vt., Sept. 5.— The grand New England. Shooting Associa- 
tion tournament, held on the grounds of the Putney Rod and Gun 
Club, is over and I do not think such a grand burlesque was ever of- 
fered to trap-shooters since the genius of the human race first con- 
ceived the idea of a clay-pigeon. Oh, it is wonderful what a farce can 
be made of a trap-shooting tournament, when the prime movers fail 
to put in an appearance and the shoot is left to wander aimlessly 
about and manage itself. About six weeks ago the secretary of our 
gun club received a letter from the secretary of the above named As- 
sociation saying they wished to come to our place and hold a shoot, 
and they would furnish everything, including programmes, birds, 
traps and men to personally conduct the tournament. To this our 
club was only too glad to agree, and accordingly left no stone un- 
turned to have our grounds in perfect readiness for the Association 
managers to go ahead and arrange traps, etc., to suit themselves, con • 
gratulating ourselves on the good fortune that led the Association to 
select our town as a suitable place to hold a shoot. In due time 
proper notices appeared in the leading sportsmen's papers and pro- 
grammes were forwarded to our club for distribution among the 
shooters inthe vicinity. A week before the day set for the grand (?) 
event a set of empire traps were sent to our club, and accompanying 
them was a market-basket partly filled with cotton, and so far as we 
could discover, nothing else. 
We also received advices that a sufficient number of targets would 
be shipped from the factory to last both days, and as Mr. Hebbard was 
advertised as manager of the Association tournament we expected that 
he and the birds would be on hand promptly; but alas, our fondest 
hopes were not realized, and whether they were lost, strayed or stolen 
no one in this vicinity has been able to ascertain. 
The day before our shoot was to commence the genial countenance 
of our old friend and club mate, Henry Warren, appeared among the 
boys, whose pleasant nature assures him a cordial welcome from 
every one who has ever had the pleasure of meeting him. He had 
his gun and lots of shells with him and did his share toward grinding 
into dust the targets he had sent us, he heing the inventor and maker 
of the hub targets, which were used on this occasion owing to the 
non arrival of the others. 
The first train from the North Monday morning brought Mr. Wether- 
bee, president of the Association, and Mr. Renehan, cf White River 
Junction. The look of disgust of Pres. Wetherbee when he learned 
that no one had appeared to perfect arrangements was a study for an 
artist. In the meantime a party of six had driven over from Towns- 
hend, Vt., so with our own boys we could muster about 15 shooters, 
who shot in the various events the first day. In the team champion- 
ship event only two teams were entered, one from the Putney Club 
and one from Townshend, the former proving to be winner. The In- 
dividual Championship event at 30 singles resulted in a tie between W. 
E. Ayer and A. J. Ayer, the former winning on the shoot off. As the 
$300 badges advertised by the Association were not shown to any one 
in this town it would b« considered a great kindness to the respective 
winners if some one would forward a photograph to show the extent 
of the winnings. The second day's programme was reduced to 3 
events, the; principal one being a merchandise match at 25 singles, 
which brought out 13 entries. As enough prizes were offered to give 
each shooter one, everybody quit a winner, the only clean score being 
made by McNulty, who missed 25 as gracefully as any one could. 
Mr. Wetherbee used us in a first-class manner, and had all the As- 
sociation managers treated us in the same manner, we should have no 
occasion to find any fault. 
[Judging from the above that there had been some misunderstand- 
ing in regard to the running of the New England tournament at Put- 
ney, Vt,, we called upon Mr. Hebbard as soon as the above was 
received. Mr. Hebbard informs us that he has never managed a 
tournament for the Association, but that he merely provides empire 
traps and targets at the Association tournaments and looks after 
them during the shoot. His opinion was that being advertised to 
manage the tournament was a misunderstanding of his position in the 
Association. Regarding the non-arrival of the targets Mr. Hebbard 
produced undeniable proofs that both traps and targets were shipped 
to Putney on the same day and at the same time. He was, of course, 
unable to solve the mystery of their going astray, the traps having 
arrived at Putney in ample time for the tournament. Mr. Hebbard 
explains that business of importance prevented personal supervision 
of the working of the traps at Putney.]

Iowa Falls' First Annual. 
Iowa Falls, la., Aug. 29.— Editor Forest and Stream: The first 
annual tournament of the Iowa Falls Gun Club closed to-day. The 
attendance was fair and the weather fine; keystone targets were used 
and thrown about 50yds. The management was excellent, and any 
one who attends a tournament given by the Iowa Falls Gun Club can 
be assured of a good time. The club gave four nice prizes for the 
four best averages, and there was no dropping for place. There were 
eighteen events at targets and one at live birds, a total of 291 targets 
and 10 live birds. First average was won by Budd with 275, second by 
Grimm with 273, third by Onristianson with 270, fourth by Frazier 
with 264. C. W. Budd.

Morfey beats Lenone, 
Willard Park, N. J. , Sept. 3.— The Morfey— Lenone race at 100 live 
birds per man, tor $100 a side was decided to-day in favor of Morfey, 
who killed 93 to Lenone's 86. Under the conditions as arranged, 
Lenone was conceded 20 birds by his opponent. The match was 
brought off in hazy weather with a southwest wind blowing acroBS 
the traps. The birds in many instances were slow to start, need flush- 
ing very frequently; once started, they were fast enough to please 
everybody Lenone is not satisfied with the result, hence another 
match under precisely the same conditions will take place. No date 
has been fixed, but a forfeit has been posted to bind the match. 
Morfey used 48grs. of E C. loaded in TJ. M. C. trap shells. Ed. 
Morgan acted as referee, Wm, Dutcher being official scorer; trappers, 
C Wright and Tom Smith. Score: Conditions: 100 live birds per man, 
30yds. rise, 50yds. boundary, modified Hurlingham rules to govern; 
Lenone conceded 20 dead birds by Morfey, $100 a side:

W. L. 0., South Boston.— I understand that upon entering Nova 
Scotia a duty is assessed upon sportsmen's guns, although the money 
Is refunded upon returning. Does this apply to guns of English make? 
Ans. Yes. 
Aztec, Mexico.— 1. I have heard that there are bighorns in the 
Sierras of Chihuahua; is it likely? Do they inhabit any except snow- 
capped ranges? 2. What is the "black jaguar" mentioned by your 
some time Honduras correspondent, De Veras? (He ought to write 
some more.) 3. Is there a comprehensive manual of American mam- 
malia, and if so what would it cost? Ans. 1. Altogether likely. The 
notion that bighorn are Alpine animals is an entirely erroneous one. 
They have been driven to the high, rough mountain peaks, but only 
within the last twenty-five or fifty years. Once they were found on 
the plains. 2. A black form of Felis onca which is not very uncom- 
mon. 3 No such work, unhappily. 
A. L. R., Montreal, Canada.— Would you kindly tell us (1) the differ- 
ence there is between raccoon, wildcat or what we call in French in 
Canada chat sauvage. 2. The French name for raccoon? 3. The French 
name for opossum? 4. The natural history of these two animals or 
what books to be consulted in that matter? Ans. 1. The raccoon is 
an animal belonging to the group known as Arctoridea or bearlike 
mammals, the wildcat or chat sauvage to theielidce or cat family. 
The two are about as different as a dog is from a cat. 2. Raton. 3. 
The name opossum is of North American Indian origin and we are 
not sura that it has a vernacular French name. In some of the French 
works on natural history it is called didelphe, which of course is de- 
rived from the Latin generic name Didtrtphys. The common French 
names are opossum and sarigue. 4. We have no space to give partic- 
ulars. Consult the Standard Natural History for main facts about 
them, i. e., as to structure and habits,
