OTP SSOOT AT HAOKENSACK. 
-^ug. 11,— The fifth contest for the Recreation cup waR decidPd this 
afternoon on the grounds of the Berfren County Gun Club, of 
Hackensack, Previous to this conteBt J. S. S. RemaeD, of Brooklyn, 
N Y., a member of tbe Bergen County Grun Club, and F. Sinnock. a 
member of the Forester Qun Club, of Newark, N. J., had each scored 
two wins. To-day's shoot went to Banks, rhus Increasing the 
Interest in the two'competitions yet to he shot before the final owner- 
ship of the cup is decided. The conditions of the cup are: 50 targets, 
known traps and angles, and 50 targets, unknown angles; seven com- 
petitions, one to take place every two months, the shooter winning it 
the greatest number of times in the seven competitions to become the 
final Owner of tbe cup. Professionals are barred from shooting for 
the cup, but arp welcomed and can shoot along for the optional 
sweepstakes of $1 on each 85 targets, and also for the cash prizes of 
$5 to the second high gun, and $i to the third high gun. Entrance 
for the cup is the price of the targets. In case a professional leads 
the shooters, he perforce takes the $5 prize; the highesD ama^em" tak- 
ing the cup. 
, To clay's race was shot under favorable conditions as regards wind 
and weaiher: occasionally there would come up a little breeze and 
at times the passing clouas would make the light on the reeds < f the 
meadows rather bad. Targets from No. 4 trap were extremely hard 
to locate, owing to the poor background for lowthrown targets. All 
the traps threw rather low the greater part of the race, with the ex- 
ception of No. 3, which was inclined lo give towerers. 
The race was close and exciting enough to satisfy everybody up to 
the conclusion of the third series of 25 targets. At the end of ihe first 
25 there were four v!4s— Sinnock, Dudley, Banks and Noel Monev- and 
three 2aa- Van Dyke, Capt. Money and Fogarty. Wheu the 50 known 
angles had been disposed of, four men were tied with 4? each, viz.: 
Sinnock, Van Dyke, Noel Money and Banks. Fogarty was next to 
them with 45, Dudley having dropped down to 10 in" his second S5. 
The end of the first 25 at unknown angles found five men tied on 70 
out of 55, viz.: Sfnnock, Van Dyke, Noel Money, Fogariy and Banks, 
Fogariy's 25 straight having brought him up im o first place. Dudley 
was next with 66, having broken 23 in his third 25. 
The break came In the last 25. Van Dyke broke ?4 and finished 
with 94. Fogarty and Sinnock, who both shot in the first squid with 
Van Dyke, Remsen, Hyde and Capt. Money, unexpectedly took big 
tumbles, Sinnock going out with only 19, Fogartv breaking 20 This 
left the cup practically to either Noel Money or Banks, if they could 
hold up at all. btrangaly enough, Noel Money, woo had been shoot- 
rag very well, and who naa broken hard and easy targets without 
any apparent difficulty, scored only 18 out of his 25. Banks ran 
straight and finished with 95, 1 more than Van Dyke's total. Dud- 
ley also ran 25 straight, his 48 out of fcO at unknown angles just land- 
ing him in second place for the cup, but only in third place for 
money. Remsen's shooting was a source of both regret and sur- 
prise. He had come all the way from Bluff Point on Lake Champlain, 
to see that Sinnock didn't get another win on the cup in his absence, 
and also to try to get a win on his own behalf. His failure to score 
more than 30 out of 50 at known angles, ana 40 out of 50 at unknown 
angles, is a remarsable falling off. He was shooting slower than 
usual, and was not swinging as he should have done, stopping bis 
gun when he pulled the trigger or before he pulled it. He ran the 
last 12 straight in his third 25 in something like nis old style, pulveriz- 
ing the targets thoroughly, clouds of black dust alone showing where 
tbey had been. Cape. Money did not shoot anything like as well as 
he can shoot, his shoulder being still a little sore from the shooting 
he did at Riverton one week ago, viz , 565 targets in one day! 
There were nine contestants for the cup, Mr. Combs, a Long Is- 
lander, shooting along as guest of the club. One often hears it said 
by shooters: "lean break more at unknown angles than I can at 
known angles." With 50 at each style of shooting, a fair comparison 
can be made in to-day's race, Smnock, Captain Money and Noel 
Money each broke more at known than at unknown angles; Remsen, 
Banks, Dudley and Combs broke more at unknown than at known 
angles ; Van Dyke, Fogarty and Hyde broke the same \ otals out of 
each 50, viz.: 4(', 45 and 41, respectively. The scores tell the rest of 
the tale.

The Elliott-Glover Match. 
THE CUP GOES BACK TO KANSAS CITY. 
RocHBSTK.R, N. Y , Aug. 14 -As a result of the Elliott-Glover match 
to-day for the Kansas City Star cup, Jas. A. R Eldott, of Kansas City, 
Mo . will be able to carry bacK the tropnj^ with him when he goes 
South. His victory over Glover by 8 birds In a lOO-bird match was by 
no means expected, and Glover's 84 out of 100 shows that he was 
clean out of form. His friends here attri ^uce his poor score to stale - 
ne.ss, which was caused by shooting too much and at too many tar- 
gets as recently as yesterday, when the Rochester Rod and Gun Club 
held a shoot. 
Elliott was in fine form and kil'ed his hlrda in good, quick time. 
The pigeons, too, were an excellent lot of strong flyers, far better 
than the usual lot of "match birds" in the month of August. E. D. 
Pulford, who was a spectator, stated that he had '-never seen better 
birds at this time of year." 
A good crowd assembled to see the matcb. which took pl^ce at the 
DriviasT Park. Among those present were: Harvey McMurchy, Syra- 
cuse; C. L Frantz, Seneca Falls; Charles Wagner, Syracuse; E D. 
Fulford, Utica; D. Lefever, Syracuse; Dick Swiveller, Batavia; Dr, 
Benham, Honeoye Falls; Col. A. 6. Courtney, Syracuse; W. 0. Had- 
ley, E. 0 Myers, Dr. Weller, L W. Davis, John J. Quirk, John Norton, 
George Borst, C. Lane, Theodore Lane, J. Lowder, W. Folev, J. Cook, 
W. J. Mann, E. D. Hicks, T, R. Griffith, C. A. Compton, L. V. Bycr 
and Frank E McCord, of this city. 
W. C. Hadley, of this city, was chosen final stakeholder, and he 
also "rattled the bones" to show the trap puller, who was none other 
than Harve.v McMurchy, which trap to pull. Jack Fanning, of San 
Francisco, was referee, and L. V. Byer and F. E. McCord, official 
scorers. 
Elliott shot a Winchester repaating shotgun, Elliott model. 50grs. 
of E. C. in a Leader shell. Glover shot a Parker gun, with :i}4 and 
3%drs of Schultze in Trap shells. 
The conditions were 100 live birds, SOyds. rise, 50yds. boundary, A.

J. M. A., Trenton, N. J,— The Pennsylvania law makes no provision 
respecting doves. 
.1. E. H., Patterson.— Does your Game Laws in Brief have the late 
game law of Pennsylvania In it? if so will send for U at once. Ans. 
Past editions coniam old laws; last edition has present law. 
F., New York. —According to the Game Laws in, Brief (which no 
one doubts being correct), under the laws of New Brunswick, page 61, 
■•No person shall * * * kill more than two moose, three caribou, 
or three deer, etc." I no doubt am very «tui)id, but would like to 
know if that means that the limit is two heads of one ■kmd, or three 
heads of either of the other two kinds, making a total of not possibly 
more than three heads of game, or if it means that one is allowed to 
kill eight assorted heads of game proportioned as above. No doubt 
i:. is tne latter, and 1 am simply stupid, but I would be much obliged 
for your opinion. Ans. It means mat a person may kill in a season 
two moose, and also three cariooit and also three deer. 
J. C. B., Nevada, Iowa.— I have been informed by certain parties 
that a company or corporation, licensed by the U. S. Qovernmeni;, 
has complete control of all travel in the Yellowstone National Park, 
and that no person is now allowed the privilege of hiring a private 
conveyance or camping outfit and making a tour of the park, camp- 
ing where he pleases. Is this true? In making a tour of the park, is 
it necessary inat the traveler must employ the convej ances < f a cor- 
poration, or board at iheir hotels? Ans. You have been misinformed. 
A transportation company, licensed by the Government, runs stages, 
but dots nothave exclusive control of transportation You can bi-e 
a private conveyance, or a saddle-horse or a pack rain, and go where 
you please. But along the roads there are cenain specified camping 
places. If there were not, the roads, from one end to the other, would 
De strewn with tin cans, broken bottles, old paper, and the debris of 
a deserted camp. To answer your last question, we may say that it 
is not necessary that the traveler m the i'ark should employ "the con- 
veyance of a corporation, or board at their hotels." 
A. C. H., Harrison, Me.— Is there such a fish as a sea trout? Is it a 
trout that lives lu streams near salt water and at times goes to the 
sea? Has it a square tail, and is it marked same as the brook trout 
(Salmo fontinalis) or more like the salmon trout? Ans. Yes, a local 
variety of tue specisled or brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) is the 
sea trout or Canadian salmon trout (S. immaculatus), wuich runs up 
from the sea in Canadian waters. iiSays Charles flallock, m ihe 
"Sportsman's (Jazetteer": "The sea trout, known as such, are con- 
fined to Canadian waters exclusively. They are caught only in mid-! 
summer, and seldom under a quarter of a pound in weight. Tneir 
average of all localities may be said to reach 3ibs., while in the Hiver 
ilouveile (Gaspe), which empties into the Bay (jhaleur, they reach 
61ba., an extraordinary! weight for tSalmo fontinalis; ibough by no 
means marvelous. Tne "atrawberry run' oi sea trout, as it is called, 
occurs about the 1st of July on thehouthwesteru coast of Nova Scotia, 
the fish moving east as the season advances, uaiil tney reacu the 
nortu shore of ihe St. Lawrence aoout the Sth'of August. Evidently 
an immense school strikes in from tne sea, detacnments dropping olf 
as it progresses, into the nvers along the coast. The fishing season 
lasts about six weeks, the fish meanwhile ascenaing to the nead- 
waters of the streams, and often surmounting falls of steep ascent." 
The speckled trout of Long Island streams and other waters flowing 
into Salt water go down into the sale water after breeding, and re- 
main there until the water gets warm again.

A COMPLETE TOUR VIA THE PENNSYLVANIA R, B. 
Thk Yellowstone National Park is unquestionably the most inter- 
esting region on the globe, for within ic is displayed the greatest col- 
lection of nature's manifold wonders. Indeed, this mountain bound 
plateau, high up on tne suuimic of the everlasting Rockies, is a veri- 
table playground for the world's giant forces. To stand and gaze 
upon them in all tneir inarvelous manifestations, the great geyser 
upheavals, the fierce steam blasts, the terrible leap of the river, and 
the awful canon, is a revelation— an experience to be had at no other 
pomt on the earth. 
Tue personally-conducted tour of the Pennsylvania R. R. Co., 
which leaves New York on Sept. 3, affords the most satisfactory 
means of visiting this wonderland and viewing its marvelous features.

ing, and observation cars in each direction. Eight days will be spent
