NOTES. 
Dr. Kennedy, of Auburn, whs present at the sboot during the 
greater part ot the time. The Doctor had with him a Winchester 
repeating sbotguQ with 33in. barrels. It was a curious loolring little 
gun, but the strangest part about it was the muzzle. Dr. Kennedy is 
the inventor of the square-muzzle gun, and be had given this little 
gun a square muzzle. He claims that with these 22in. barrels and a 
square muzzle that he can give any length of barrel and any kind of 
ciioke a hard wrestle for first place in the way of pattern. 
Uncle Ben Catch pole was one of those who came at the start and 
stayed until the finish, despite the bad weather. Up m Wolcott, N. 
Y., the shooters think a lot of Uncle Ben, and have christened their 
newly-organized gun club after him. Secretary Wadsworth, of that 
club, ana Mr. Morris Burke accompanied Uncle Ben to Auburn. 
Paul North is great on titles. The McMurehy squad (McMurchy, 
Edwards, Levengston, W.<igner and Kelsey) were summoned to the 
score, and got ready to shoot. Mae happened to look at the score 
board as be stepped to No. 1 mark. "We're not called yet; at least, 
we're not on the board;" said he. Up stepped Paul, and spake thus: 
"Oh, yes, you are! Big Chief, No. 1; Much Write, No. 2; Never An- 
swer, No. 3; Wagtail, No. 4; Smallmouth, No. 5. Shoot, No. 11" 
Then we taiew who had done this thing. 
C. A. Ward, of the Lockport Gun Club, made a good record for 
himself at this shoot. In the merchandise event he broke 25 straight, 
and gave somebody a hot shoot-olf for first choice. He showed up 
again in the Bannister cup contest with 47, the cup being won on 48. 
Lastly he figured in the State averages as tied for fourth place with 
Harvey McMurchy. Ward shoots a Parker gun and 3}4drs. of either 
Hazard or Du Pont— he shoots just whichever of the two comes to 
bis ijands iirst. ' 
Sim Glover was oif in his shooting. Sometimes he would come to 
the front with a straight, and then he'd drop out of sight practically, 
with a score that a Lamb might have been satisfied with, but which 
r'ffl.ected no credit on Ilochester Sim. He won the Lefever diamond 
medal with his usual combination— Parker gun and SchulczJi powder. 
And by the way, ihe condicions of the Lefever medal contest have 
been ctianged this year. Prior to the contest for this medal on June 
10, Uncle Dan Lefever, donor of the medal, announced that anybody 
winning the medal twice in succession (beginning with this year's 
contest! shoula become the absolute owner thereof. 
There was one party that "went straight" all the time. We refer 
to the popcorn 'stand, which did a business we'd have been glad to 
"go halves" in. 
- Jack Brewer got his right cheek badly out of shape at this shoot. 
Fred Gilbert and Jack Winston are not in it with their corn plas- 
ters. It required a bunion plaster to cover even a portion of the 
bruised cheek. 
No matter what the weather is, nor how large the attendance may 
Tje, so long as W. M. Richmond, W. C. Hadley and Gus Dexter are on 
hand, it's a State shoot right enough. 
Two incidents happened at this shoot. On Wednesday morning a 
Lamb (Geo. Corning) shot at a target, broke it and also killed a sparrow 
that was flying across the frant of the trap. The same evening, in 
the last event of the day on the Wolves' trap, a member of the 
McMarchy squad broke the first 1-3 straight, missed the 14th, but on 
the 15th shot broke the target and killed a swallow; result: 15 
.straight. 
*fThat elm tree" to the right of the background on the Wolves' 
magautrap was a stumbling block when one got a straightaway from 
position No. 1. The same tree caused trouble to .shooters at the 
"State events magautrap," while another tree right in front of No 2 
score was a dandy to "lose 'em in." 
The attendance of spectators on the last day was due more to the 
•Jaet tdaat live birds were gomg to be shot, rather than the beauty of 
ithe day. If you wish to draw spectators, you must have Live- bird 
;shooting 'Tis sad, but true. 
The little city of Auburn is famous for four things: Pretty women, 
pretty homes, the Osborne House^and the jail. 
The Lambs had a little playground of their own, but you couldn' 
keep some of the Wolves away from that playground with a club. 
"Do you knosv that there's more money down on the Lambs' trap 
than at the Wolves"? was a question we heard very frequently on the 
second day. And yet the sweeps were practically half-price. 
iThe daily papers looked after tue shoot well. The Auburn evening 
daily, the BuUatin, and the Syracuse Standard, deserve special 
credit for their work. Mr. Ackerman, the sporting editor of the 
latter paper, is an enthusastiic trap-shooter, but says that it's 
easier to push a pencil than point a gun. We know that fact from 
experience. 
Greater New York has scared the up-country folk. The team race 
rule now reads to the effect tbat members oC the same team must be 
residents of the same county. At least that's the way we under- 
stand the situation an it was put to the annual meeting; if we are 
wrong, the secretary of the meeting will kindly advise us and our 
readers of the change that has been made in tne wording of this 
rule. ,1 
F. D. Kelsey and Hammond were the sole representatives (so far as 
we are awarej of the Audubon Guq Club, of Buffalo, and neither of 
the two above-named gentlemen reside in Buffalo Considering the 
patronage the club was given last June, it looks as if something like 
a strong coniingenc shOuld have been on hand this year. Ktilsey up- 
held his great reputation as a shooter, carrying his Smith gun and 
Gflid Dust powder well to The front. He lied for first average in the 
State events and won the EJ. C. cup on the first day with this combin- 
ation 
J. J Carr, of the Auburn Gun Club, was always on top of the heap 
His different records speak for themselves He shoots a Lefever 
gun and Schultze powder. 
The shoot-ofC for high average in the State events was won by 
Edwards with a Winchester repeating shotgim and Sdrs of E. C. 
powder. 
For the second time during our connection with the trap -shoo ting' 
world, we have had the pleasure of meeting S A. Tucker, of the 
Parker Gun Company. Tucker took in the State shoot at Auburn, 
tearing himself away froin the West just long enough to show him- 
self to his friends in the East. 
E, B. Full'ord, the latest addition to the ranks of the Remington 
Arms Company, shot away up all. the time. E. D says that he is 
fixed all; right now with his gun, U. M. C factory-loaded sbells andu 
Schultz 8 powder. It looks js if he was, too. Edward Banks, 
Boston Gun Club. 
WBrii.rNGTON, Mass., June 9.— Despite the heavy rain of Wednes- 
day, Jua. a, the Boston Gun Club opened up at Wellington, and five 
member-, whom the deluge fafied to terrorize, spent an hour or two 
pleasant y if not exactly comfortably. Yet tne snooting was not half 
bad, and clad in a sweater a score of five targets could be negotiated, 
one shooter at a time, without severe drenching. The very heaviest 
showers were allowed undisputed possession of the platform, while 
matters pertaining to sbooting were fully discussed inside the club 
house within shore range of a roarmg fire, and in this way the thirdi 
shoot of '97 series passed off with more attention and enjoyment than; 
would nattirally be expected of so mean and miserable an afternoon :: 
Tne tollowing scores were all shot in a steady downpour:

At Greenwood, S. C. 
Knox-ville, Tenn., May S8.— Jnclosed please find scores made at the 
Greenwood, S. C, tournament, on May 26. 
With an experience covering many years and acquired oyer a very 
large extent of territory, I am bound in all fairness and justice to 
state that never in my life have I seen so well-managed a maiden 
effort as was this tournament. Be it understood that Greenwood 
never before had a tournament; therefore, the managers were as in- 
experienced as anyone could very well be in such affairs. Yet, in 
spite of this, not one hitch occurred during the day— everything 
passed off most pleasantly and promptly. The cheers that were 
given at the close were heartfelt, I swanl for no man that day felt 
tbat he was given any th« worst of it. On the contrary, we 
all had a dead square game, and will gladly return to Greenwood at 
the call, and glad of the opportunity. Our thanks are due to Messrs. 
R. G. McCauts, R. W. Moore and M. L. Bice, while Messrs. W. G. 
Chaiffee and J. F. Partlow must not be forgotten. 
To the referee, Mr. S. F. Evans, we are indeb ed much, for his de- 
cisions were alwaj-s promptly and correctly rendered, and the scor- 
ing of Messrs. Cook and Middle was done accurately and properly all 
the way through. Col. J. T. Anthony, perhaps the best known and 
most enthusiastic sportsman in the entire South, a man whose pres- 
ence is ever welcome on any ground— one whose hearty manner and 
genial disposition are hailed everywhere. North and South alike with 
genuine deligut, made on this day the highest average, losing but 3 
birds all lold, some of which fell dead just out of bounds. 
It bein^ customary to give gun and loads of the winner, it is but 
right to slate that the Colonel shot his Parker gun, Schultze powder 
in U. M. C. trap shells loaded by Krider, of Pniladelphia, and great 
work did he do with them. 
The birds were so very good that on the first 10-bird event, out of 
an entry of thirty-two, for the most part very good shots, only one 
contestant scored them all, t at fortunate and skillful sportsman 
being Mr. J H. Rice, who has not fired a shot over the traps since 't9, 
albeit a most masterly shoe in full practice afield As this achieve- 
ment netted him about $120, it is not to be wondered at that he 
caressingly speaks of dis old gun. 
The best proof of the extra good quality of the birds is that in 
footing the two pairs in match No. .iJ hardly ever had one to get 
another pair because one of the birds did not" fly on the Instant the 
ground traps were opened. Tnose who have seen much double bird 
shooting from ground traps will know just what that means without 
further comment. 
Macon, Ga., was represented by Messrs. P 0 Etheridge and J. P. 
Bullard, the former too well known to need special men ion further 
Chan to say tnat he is a genuine, clean cut sportsman, splendid snot 
aud most araiaole companion ; the latter, a > oung man who is going 
xo make lots of trouble one ot these-days when he gets accustomed 
to this kind of shooting. This being his flrsc shoot in public, it is 
quite safe to predict all of that and a great deal more. 
Atlanta should have had a larger delegation. Uoforlunately some 
could not attend. Among those were Dr. Bizzell, Capt. Rawson, Mr. 
Everett, wbUe Messrs. Heard, Crabb and Avery did their best to keep 
things moving. Spartanbiu-g had a very strong aggregate of talent, 
and in Mr. Floyd possesses a splendid shot, a really very dangerous 
man. Mr. J- W. Todd, of Charlotte, who came along to be wica Col, 
Anthony, shot in fine form, but lackof praciice will tell even with su h 
good shots as he is. Mr. I. R. Lowndes came in most gracefully and 
handsomely at the finish ; unfortunately he discovered very late in 
the day that small loads of powder won't mow down good strong 
birds inside of bounds. In the last event, when using good strong 
loads, he did great execution. Experience is about the only way to 
get at these things, and he is of the kind that can see as far through 
a stone wall as any one. Look out for him later. Colonel Brock was 
not properly loaded, and taat covers the case. Messrs. McUants and 
Rice were so busy managing tuings that they coutd not be expected 
to do themselves justice; some one must DC sacriticed As for my- 
self, I just sa« ed wood, and having killed the last 20 straight, scoring 
but 19, 1 let it go at that, for on s. ch nirds tbat is a good many for a 
common every day scrub.

W. C. H. , Saginaw, E. S. Mich —My four-year-old setter dog has a few 
sores on his body wnioh have a mattery discharge, and he seems to 
bile and scratch them at times. The skua, on his belly and under his 
forearms has a reddish appearance and he scratches himself con- 
siderably more in the morning than any other time of day. He was 
troubled with costiveness. The discharges were ti.in and watery and 
1 thought it was diarrhosa, but I discovered it was costiveness, for I 
gave him a warm water injection and he passed several hard lumps 
wcich had caused all the trouble. Ans.— Treat lor worms. Apply 
following dressing to sores and irritable places daily: Sublimed sul- 
phur, 8oz. ; tot. ti. cast, 3 drachms: oil of tar. 2€Z. : cottonseed oil, Iqt. 
Give two compound sulphur tablets (Weyth's) twice a day. 
O. W. D., Grand Rapids, Mich.— 1. What is the bestway tokeephve 
minnows on a fishing trip f 2, What is the best way to keep dead 
minnows and have them good and sound? 3. Is there any way to keep 
trout or other fish a few days without ice? 4. How will artificial in- 
sects do for bait for rainbow trout, and what ones would you recom- 
mend? Ans. 1. Change the water frequently and see that they have 
a good supply of air. A little salt added to the water is said to have 
a good effect. The prpportlon given is one tablespoon to three gallons 
ot water. A device for forcing air into the water, consisting of rub- 
ber tube and bulb, is said to oo very well in place of changing the 
water. A piece of ice put so as to keep the water cool is good in 
summer, while in winter it is a good plan to fill the upper third of the 
pail with handfuls of clean rye or wheat straw. 3. Pack in wet saw- 
dust and salt or brine, adding a little saltpetre. Coarse straw damp- 
ened is also a good packing. 3. Dr^w them, and after having wiped 
them dry pack in corn meal in a light box, filling them also with the 
meal. If com meal is not to be had, thej may be packed in dry moss. 
4. Certain kinds of artificial insects often answer very well as asub- 
Biituie for flies. The beet for trout are perhaps imitations of June 
bugs or crickets.
