ON LONG ISLAND. 
BROOKLYN GUN CLUB. 
May 14.— The Brooklyn Gun Club held its cup shoot to-day, with 
a good attendance of competitors. There was a good light and 
no wind, favorable conditions for good scores. The cup event 
was won by Phister, who shot under the name of Woods, and he 
was the recipient of hearty congratulations thereat. Banks shot 
a new take-down Winchester part of the time, but the length 
of stock, trigger pull, etc., being different from the old gun 
with which he has_ made such high averages in the past, the 
change cut down his scores somewhat, though he averaged over 
a 91 per cent._ gait. Capt. Money and Harold Money, the latter 
shooting a gait well up with experts, and of such well sustained 
excellence as to make him a class man, shot two team races with 
Banks and Remsen, the first at 25 targets, the second at 15. In 
the first the scores were: Banks 24, Remsen 22, total 46. Capt. 
Money 23, H. Money 22, total 45, a very close race. In the second 
race the scores were: Banks 15, Remsen 14, total 29. Capt. 
Money 13, H. Money 12, total 25. H. Money was using a strange 
gun, the lever of his own gun having got out of order. 
John Wright gave some extra target events at one cent per 
target, which were thoroughly appreciated by the shooters present, 
as sfaow-n by the support. Mr. John Reagan attended to the 
cashier's department in his usual skillful and efficient manner. 
The Conditions of the ci:p race were 50 targets, $1, handicap 
allowance. The scores were:

, HUDSONS DEFEAT CUCKOOS. 
Jersey City, May 16. — The return match between the Hudson 
Gun Club and the Rockaway Park Gun Club was shot on the 
grounds of former during the week, and resulted in a very 
close score, the Hudsons winning by 5 targets. The weather was 
simply horrible, rain falling incessantly. At one time it looked 
as though the match would have to "be postponed, but as the 
Rockaways were willing to go ahead it was finally decided to take 
chances. This is the fourth match between these teams, and the 
fifth and deciding match will be shot some time during the sum- 
mer. Each club has won twice. Summaries: 
There were sixteen events, all unknown angles:

Boston Gun Club, 
Wellington, Mass. — The third serial prize shoot of the Boston 
Gun Club occurred at Wellington, May 14, with fourteen shooters 
to see that the programme was properly carried out. A terrible 
wind that nearly capsized the light-weight members was in evi- 
dence, which accompaniment is now becoming quite as monot- 
onous as it is undesirable. A noticeable effect of the wind to-day 
was the large number of badly dusted targets, showing that the 
edges of shot charges were earning their passage. An aim that 
would ordinarily powder a target, to-day in the gale would halve 
or quarter it, and the aim that on reasonable days would bring 
out a simple fracture would only be good for a "dusted" and a 
consequent 0. So much dust was visible at times as to look 
like a shower and cause wonder that a target could be hit so hard 
and still retain its shape and flight. One or two close decisions 
were rendered necessarj', and the surprises worked both ways; 
some shooters who had not expected a broken were made happy 
by the extra target, and one or two who had thought a piece had 
been chipped sure were surprised by a lost. The shooter is so apt 
to be deceived by a wad following up the charge that the scorer's 
and referee's decisions were of advantage to all present. It was 
simply a case of fairness to the shooter, for friction is seldom 
found where no dollars or dimes are dependent on the result, and 
a target more or less but a question of percentage. Results are 
as below:

As to Tgn-Gauges. 
Lewiston, May 14.— I would .like to ask the trap-shooters, 
through the medium of your paper (and no doubt they will wonder 
at my ignorance), why 10-gauge guns are barred at so many tour- 
naments? What advantage has a 10-gauge over a 12? For my 
part I can't see that it has any. The 12-gauge man has his gun 
chambered for a Sin. shell, shoots all the way from 3 to Idrs. 
of powder and l^doz. of shot, and 81bs. is the limit for weight. 
Now take the poor old 10-gauge. His gun weighs 81bs. ; he shoots 
any amount of powder, the same as Mr. Twelve Guage, but he 
must shoot just the same limit for shot— li/4oz. Now I should 
like to know what advantage the 10-gauge has that it should be 
barred and looked upon as an outlaw? It has got so now that 
if any one goes to a tournament with a 10-gauge gun he is like 
a boy at a circus without a ticket. He don't get in, and once 
more I would like to ask why is this thus? Cobbossee. 
St. Louis Doings. 
A FEW shooters gathered at Du Pont Park May 8, and tlie 
only event of interest shot during the afternoon was a 15 live-bird 
event in which Hirschey and Geo. Pendergast divided first money 
on 14 kills. It was decided to send a strong team to Kansas City 
to compete in the State team race, and efforts will also be made 
to bring the next State tournament to St. Louis. With this 
object in view there will doubtless be quite a delegation of St. 
Louis shooters in attendance at the Kansas City shoot.

Jay Beebe, Toledo, O. — Will you be kind enough to tell me, 
out of the fullness of your piscatorial knowledge, what is a 
"silver bass?" A day or two since I was shown in the office of 
the general passenger agent of the C, J. & M. Railway a pho- 
tograph of a fine string of fish, taken a few days previous at 
Devil's Lake. Among the number, twenty-six of them, as I 
recollect, there were six or eight unmisvakable big-mouths, a 
dozen true small-mouths, and the remainder, I was told, were 
silver bass. They were apparently a symmetrical fish, the largest 
compared with the largest big-mouth by its side weighing about 
•31bs., and to my inexperienced eye looking as like the small- 
mouths near it as one pea looks like another. It was evidently 
not a white bass, nor a strawberry or calico bass, nor yet a green 
bass, such as we have been in the habit of catching in some of the 
small lakes in the upper part of the lower Michigan peninsula; 
all these things I covild see with half a glance. And for the last 
few days I have been wondering whether it could be possible that 
a separate and distinct variety of the bass family had been grow- 
ing and flourishing within fifty miles of Toledo without my know- 
ing anything about it. Ans. The moon-eye is sometimes called 
silver bass. The white bass is the silver bass in Canada. 'The 
crappie (Pomoxys annularis) is also styled silver bass in some 
localities. If your fish resembled the small-mouth very closely 
it may have been the crappie, but the weight is against this sup- 
position. ^

The Underclothing of the Tropics. 
Henry M. St,-\nley has testified to the excellence of Dr. Jaeger's 
light woollen underclothing in tropical climates; and if such an 
authority can give an emphatic verdict in its favor, after he had 
put it to the crucial test of the broiling sun of Africa, th.e 
question may be regarded as settled in favor of wool. It hardly 
requires the universal indorsement of the medical fraternity to 
convince one of the desirability of having that part of our raiment 
which touches the skin absolutely pure wool. Lighter in weight, 
finer in finish, and more comfortable than any others, the Dr. 
Jaeger garments are favorites everywhere in the world. A most 
valuable suggestion from a hygienic point of view is undoubtedly 
that of the celebrated Dr. Jaeger advocating the wearing of wool 
at all seasons, and especialljf in the warmer climates. In the 
latter suggestion Dr. Jaeger stands indorsed by many prominent 
military authorities as well as by the medical profession in general, 
while his underwear is readily conceded to be the Standard of 
the World. 
It will be well to visit the Dr. Jaeger's stores and see the large 
assortment of their fine light summer goods. — Adv.
