CLUB SHOOT AT BOILING SPHINaS. 
April 3.— The regular monthly club shoot of the Boiling Springs 
Gun Club was held to day at Rutherford. The attendance as usual 
was very good, and a large number of targets was thrown during 
the afternoon, the to'al aggregating over 3,000. 
The cup shoot (25 known angles and 25 unknown angles) was won 
by Ferd Van Dyke with 49 out of 50, Van losing his 4'i'th target. Dr. 
De Wolfe, with an allowance of 5 extras, was second with 47 out of 55. 
Apgar, Fanning, Brewer and Lewis (15 exti-as) came nexc with 46. 
In the 45 hole were Noel Money, W. H. Huck and G. H Fiercy. Al- 
together scores ruled hierh, but this is scarcely to be wondered at, as 
the background at the Boiling: Springs grounds is about as perfect as 
possible. A. glance at the scores made in the sweeps will show that 
pretty nearly everybody had his eye on the targets. Scores in the 
cup shoot follow in detail;

April 10.— The regular monthly sboot of the Forester Gim Club was 
held to day. A good delegation from the Bergen County Gun Club, of 
Hacken«ack, was with us and helped to make things lively. The 
Forester Gun Club will have an all day shoot on April 28, to which all 
are welcome, either to come and break tareets or else help to eat the 
lunch. Targets are thrown at 1 cent each on all occasions by this 
club. To-day's scores were:

CUP SHOOT AT HACKBNSACK. 
April 7.— The thud contest for the Recreation cup was beld to day 
on the grounds of the Bergen County Gun Club, at Hackensack. 
There was a good entry list, eighteen shooters taking part in the 
main event on the card. Of the above number four were not eligible 
to compete for the cup; these were Ferd Van Dyke, of the W. R. A. 
Co • Neaf Apgar, representing the Austin Powder Co.; J. S. Kannine', 
of the U. S Smokeless (Gold Dust) Powder Co., and W. Crosby, of 
the Baker Gun Co. To make it interesting, however, for the above 
four shooters an optional sweep of $1 on each 25 targets was gotten 
up, while the cash prizes of $5 to the second high gun, and $1 to the 
third high gun, were chrown open to them. 
Considerable interest was evinced in the outcome of this shoot, as 
•both F. Sinnock and J. S. S. Eemson, previous winners of the cup, 
were entered in to-day's race, i^innock was under the weather and 
in no condition to do him.self justice; the effects of an attack of the 
grip will be found too in Edwards's total. Gus Greiff was in great 
form, having changed his gun and found a weapon that evidently 
suited him w^ell. He-shot a great gait all day, scoring in the sweeps 
shot prior to the 100-target event pretty nearly every target shot at; 
he held up well too in the main event, his rotal of 9i being tied by 
Bemsen and oijy beaten 1 target by Ferd Van Dyke, who scored the 
highest total in the race— 93 Remsen shot very steadily, making 46 
in each 50 and outshooting Greiff when it earae to a shoot off. 
The weather conditions were not unfavorable for good scores, there 
beine almost no wind. The sky, however, was overcast, and the 
light nothing extra when targets were thrown low. No. 4 trap was 
stumbling block to many a shooter, targets being thrown very low 
from I his trap; it is safe to say that a very large percentage of the 
lost targets were thrown from IS o. 4 trap. It was not an easy day 
for perfect refereeing, but the chib's referee, Chas. E. Dawson, did 
his work as satisfactorily as usual. Capt Horton was the club's 
hustler, of course; in fact, the Bergen County Gun Club does not 
seem to have anybody else to take much interest in running a shoot. 
Capt. Horton introaiiced another feature in to-day's shoot in the 
shape of some souvenir spoons, three of which were shot off in 15- 
target events. The first was won by Edwards, who tied on 1£ 
Straight with Gus Greiff and Van Dyke; on the shoot-off, miss-and- 
out Edwards wou in the 13i h round. Fanning won No. 2 spoon with 
l*) straight; while W. H. Huck, of the Boiling Springs Gun Club, won . 
No. 3 spoon with asimdar score. 
Below are the scores in the cup race in full. Remsen 's win to-day 
making his second for the cup out of three tries. Sinnock has the 
other win to his credit. There are only four more contests for the 
cup, so Remsen may be said to have a good chance of ultimately 
carrying it back lo Brooklyn. Scores:

TEAM RACE AT RUTHERFORD. 
April ?0.— The Boiling Springs Gun Club held an invitation team 
race to-day on its grounds at Rutherford, The conditions were three 
men to a team, 50 tergets per man. unknown angle", SlO per team, 
targets included. The day was a delightful one for target shooting, 
although at times there was enough strength in the northwesterly 
wind to cause the flight of the targets to be rather erratic 
It was rather a surprise therefore, with such weather conditions, 
that there were not more than four clubs represented by teams. 
These four clubs were: Boiling Springs Gun Club, Bergen County 
Gun Club, of Hackensack; Endeavor Gun Club, of Jersey City, and 
the Brooklyn Gun Club, of Brooklyn, N. Y. The race was a most in- 
teresting one, the home team finally landing in the lead with 136 out 
of 150. Next came the Bergen Countv team with 133, the Endeavors 
with 131. and the Brooklyns with 120.' 
One of the amusing features of the race was Captain Money's 
transfer from the Bergen County team to the Boiling Springs team 
in place of Neaf Apgar, who was unable to be present. The Bergen 
county club had four representatives present: Van Dyke, Morfey 
and the two Moneys; it thus became necessary to choose three out of 
four, and it fell to Captain Money by lot to drop out. In Apgar's 
absence another man was needed on the Boiling Springs team, so 
Captain Money was claimed and ably filled the bill by tieing for high 
score in the team race, and aiding greatly in landiag his team at the 
top of the list. 
Among the unattached shooters Dr. De Wolfe was consoicuous 
with the only 25 straight made during the day. Greiff was again in 
form, scoring 46 out of his 50; but Huck, who was laboring under the 
disadvantages of a severe headache, feU 3 or 4 short of the mark 
that was expected of him. The Bergen county team shot consistent- 
ly, a 45 and two 44s going to make up the team's total; Tom Morfey 
had a good chance of 25 straight in the last 25, but fell down on his 
50th target. For the Endeavors Edwards scored 47, but Piercy and 
Carl von Lengerke were both a little off color. The Brooklyn Club 
deserves credit, for entering a team in this race; the club is only a 
very young one, but it has all the signs of becommg one of the lead- 
ing clubs in this vicinity before long. 
A long list of sweeps and matches were shot during the afternoon, 
nearly 3.500 targets being thrown, although shooting did not com- 
mence until about noon. Scores in all the events are given below,

THE VTOTOI? AT HOME. 
When the Honorable Tom Marshall, Mayor of Keithsburg, winner 
of the Grand American Handicap and owner of the earth, arrived at 
his home in Keithsburg. after his little exercise trip in the East, he 
was met at the depot by a brass band and a triumphal reception such 
as was wont to be accorded bv the populus Roinanus to an emperor 
who had swiped a section of Gaul or run a corner in Africa. Tom al- 
ready owned the town, including the citv railway, the electric lights, 
most of the subdivisions and the City Hall; but any few remaining 
portions of it were brought to him on a plate by his admiring fellow 
citizens, and it was announced to him openly and in public that here- 
after he was to be considered as the whole thing. . 
A C3:itical observer sajrs that Powers, Merrill, WilUamson, CarVer, 
Bingham, and indeed all the Western contingent shot magniflfently, 
and left no cause for reproach upon the name of the land near the 
Great Lakes and the big river. 
J. L, Winston writes from Washington, Ind.,that., contrary to what 
may possibly be a popular understanding of the matter, he Will de-' 
fend the Du Pont trophy in the match with Mr. Budd at the city of 
Chicat- o, the dat« being May 1. 
Cook County League is now in the midst of active prepai'ation of 
its prize list and shooting arrangements for the ensuing year. 
Garden City Gun Club is arranging au attractive list of seasfin 
prizes, and expects a pleasant and successful year. 
Lou Erhardt writes me that he expects his tournament this .vear to 
eclipse all his previous efforts. Atchison, Kan,, April 14-16, $760 
added. , , , 
The managers of the Nebraska State Sportsmen's Association add 
S1,000 to the tmrses of their shoot at L'n coin. Neb., April 20-23, and 
claim that theirs will be the "largest tournament that will ba held in 
the West this year." E. HouoH.

N. W. P , North Middleboro, Mass.- Kindly prescribe for my fox- 
hounds, two of which have large swellings upon their throats which 
came after tbpy had distemper. The tonsils in one of them seem to 
be swollen, and at times seem larger than at others. The other seems 
to be more like an abscess There is no soreness. Ans. Apply tine ■ 
ture of iodine to swellings daily till the skin becomes sore. Should 
any of the swellings be soft like an abscess they should be opened. 
Give a teaspoon ful of syrup of iodide of iron twice a day. 
H. W B., Montclair, N. J —Early laat winter, when traveling over 
the D., L. & W. R. R , 1 noticed some rabbits that were being shipped 
express. My attention was called to them by their being singularly 
free from blood, and after an examination I found that they had all 
Tseen snared. Some time after I spoke to a brakeman on this rail- 
road about this, and was told by him that he had seen 60 or 100 
shipped at one place, all of which had been snared. Now there is a 
New Jersey law against snaring, but apparently no law against hav- 
ing snared game in possession; or if there is, no attemjjt is made to 
enforce it. Please enlighten me on this subject. Ans. The la»' 
specifically forbids possession of "any rabbit after the same has been 
caught or trapped by means of any snare, snood, net, trap or device' 
of any description whatsoever." Give .your information to Chief 
Warden Charles A. Shriner, Paterson, and he will proceed against 
violators of the statute.

A Corner-stone of Business. 
Nowadays publicity has come to be such an essential to business 
success that a man's standing is often judged by his advertising. At 
the same time good advertising mediums are rare, and judicious 
selection is of the utmost importance. Forest and Stream is one of 
the few mediums that reaches the purchasers of fine pleasure boats, 
engines, yachts and launches. It puts the bui'der in touch with the 
buyer, and where the bryer is satisfied a trade is consummated 
Occupying this iJOf iiion. Forwst and Stream is fittingly characterized 
as a corner stone of business by Mr. A. W. Stone, vice-president and 
superintendent of the American Boat Building Co., St. Louis, who in 
ordering renewal of advertisement writes: 
"We are receiving and have been receiving a great many inquiries 
through our advertisement in your paper. If we should drop our 
advertisemett ir your panerit would be like knocking a corner-stone 
from under our business." ! 
In another line, but in the same tenor, the manufacttirer of the 
Martin automatic reel writes: "Our display at the Madison Square 
Garden and the small advertisement w e are now running in Forest; 
AND Stream are giving us more business than we can attend to."— ^di;.
