W. S. Edey vs. C. H. Mackay. 
A MATCH that created a lot of interest among the clubmen of New 
York city was that which was decided on the grounds of the Country 
Club, Westchester, N. Y., on Thursday, March 11. The principals 
were W. S. Edey and Clarence H, Mackay, of California. The condi- 
tions of the match were 100 live birds, 30yds. rise, 30yds, boundary, 
Edey conceding three misses as kOls. Under such conditions, and as 
Mackay has been shooting very well of late, it was thought that Edey 
had the worst end of the match, Mackay is only a new man at the 
traps, but is developing into a first-class pigeon shot. 
At the start it looked odds on Mackay, the first 25 showing 22 to 19 
in his favor. The second 25 was 20 to 19 in favor of Edey, the differ- 
ence in the scores at the half being 41 to 'id in favor of Mackay. 
From this point Edey settled down and did the best work of the 
match, running straight xratil the 75th round, making in all a run of 
28 straight. Such shooting as that usually has its effect on a match, 
and in this one it made all the difference in the world. Mackay lost 
his 51st and 5r>th both dead out of bounds, and the score was thus a 
tie. Then he lost his 56th, 61st, 64th and 70th, giving Edey a lead of 4 
birds. Both men lost their 75th birds, so the last string of 35 was en- 
tered with the scores showing 63 to 59 in favor of Edey. 
It began to look like anybody's race when Edey lost his 77th, 79th 
■and 80th birds, Mackay meanwhile killing his birds. This reduced 
Edey's lead to 1 bird only, with 20 more to shoot at. Then came a 
fatal break on the part of Mackay; he lost his 81st, 8-3d, 83d, 86th and 
67th birds, Edey also losing his 85th and 87th birds. Thus Edey again 
had his lead of 4 birds. With but 5 birds to shoot at Edey had just a 
lead of 3 birds, enough to make it a tie. Mackay, however, lost his 
95th and 99th, making Edey's lead 5 birds, and giving him the race 
with a margin of 2 kdls. 
The race was ref ereed by Fred. G. Moore. Edey handled himself. 
Taut G. S, McAlpin handled Mackay. The scores show that Edey 
scored 80 out of 100, with 10 dead out of bounds. Mackay scored 76, 
with 7 dead out of bounds. Scores were:

nothing that will kill them. Will you please tell me what to use? 
Ans. Ruh all over the dog a mixture of equal parts of kerosene and 
cottonseed oil, wash off in a day or two. Also well wash and scrub 
the kennel, and sprinkle sulphur all about it. 
A, K., Williamsport, Pa.— I have been approached by a friend in 
regard to procuring for him an old rhyme, which i-efers to an old 
country divine who was fed by his parishioners on rabbits until he 
got tired and broke out in a poetical effusion, which winds up that 
he does not want any more rabbit on his plate, etc. Now could any 
of the Forest and Stream people help us out and give us the whole 
rhyme? The same would be thankfully received. Ans. It was Dean 
Swif t.who was partial to rabbit. Knowing this, two ladles, with whom 
he was invited to dine, set before htm a rabbit dinner, at the conclu- 
sion of which he returned thanns in this vein (we quote from mem- 
ory): 
"Rabbits hot and rabbits cold, 
Rabbits young and rabbits old. 
Rabbits tender and rabbits tough. 
We thank the Lord we've had enough."
