Trap around Reading;. 
Reading, Pa., Nov. 19.— Several members of the South End 
Gun Club's regular team and several substitutes held a practice 
shoot this afternoon on the South 'End grounds. The call for 
the shoot was issued by Capt. Yost, so as to pick the team which 
is to represent the South End Club at Pottstown on Nov. 24 
in the shoot of the Shuler Gun Club, of that place, for a handsome 
silver trophv, representing the championship of Montgomery 
and adjoining counties. The shooters who were present shot 
the three events in a drizzling rain, but this did not dampen the 
ardor of the shooters. Shaaber and Capt. Yost, of the regulars, 
seemed to have their eyes on the targets, and both made good 
scores. Farr, one of the substitutes, shot an awful streak, and 
bids fair to replace some of of the regulars. The South End Gun 
Club's team for the Shuler shoot will be Shaaber, Essick, Eshel- 
man, F. Yost, captain, and Harrison, with H. Yost, Farr, Ball 
and Yeager substitutes. The scores to day:

Fernwood", Pa., Nov. 19.— The monthly shoot of the University

peted for at each monthly shoot, was won by Steel, '99 M., with 
a score of 18 out of 20; Parish, '99 C, was a close second, with

A Shoot at Utka. 
I tita, N. Y., Nov. 21.- — Editor Forest and Stream: I wish to 
claim Thursday! Friday and Saturday of the week before the 
Grand American Handicap for three days' shoot at pigeons only. 
I will hold up the manufacturers and dealers, and sandbag the 
local dealers, as the Cadi says. This will amount to over $200, 
as they should be more liberal when held up by their own 
party. This I will add to the ten highest guns that shoot the 
programme through. . ; ... • 
The shuoi will be known as Fultord s shoot. I will give the 
boys fast birds from fast traps, and show them that 300 pigeons 
can be shot and gathered in one hour. 
Utica is on the New York Central, West Shore. D., L. & W., 
and Ontario & Western railroads, and my Western friends can 
get stop-over tickets without any extra cost while getting their 
rate to the Grand American Handicap.

length of time limit. The Chicago representatives favored 
Aug. 22 for the date of the first race, with the course 
directly south of the island, and a time limit of five 
hours for a 21-mile course. The Toronto yachtsmen 
wished to sail the races a couple of weeks later, at the 
date of the Industrial Exhibition at Toronto, with the 
course a little to the west, and in front of the exhibition 
grounds; the time limit to be six hours. The latter 
point was finally settled at five and three-quarter hours, 
the date and course being left open for the present. The 
regular crew limit of the class has been reduced from 
seven to six, as each yacht will carry a seventh man as 
scrutineer. 
On Tuesday evening the visitors dined at the Toronto 
Club as the "guests of Com. Jarvis, leaving for home 
the following night.

Hunting and Fishing on the C. & 0» 
No necessity exists for a journey across the continent for the 
sportsman who is looking for an outing. Five hours from Wash- 
ington, through the most beautiful mountain scenery this side of 
the Rockies, deer are almost as plentiful this year as they were in 
the days when the Old Dominion was first settled by white men. 
Since the open season began, on Oct. 1, several parties have gone 
from Washington into Bath county, Virginia, and the reports 
which they bring back are such as to make the heart of the sports- 
man jump with expectancy. There is plenty of sport to be had 
with the rifle, the shotgun, the fly-rod, and none of the game bags 
or fish creels are brought back empty. 
Within a radius of ten miles from Millboro, Va., there are literal- 
ly hundreds of deer. Then too the Cowpasture River is teeming 
with bass, and a 21b. small-mouth will make the disciple of old 
Izaak, who has played the big-mouth on 40yds. of line, think 
. that he has a salmon at least on his hook. 
Virginia at this season is the paradise of the sportsman, and 
the Chesapeake & Ohio trains leaving Washington at 2:20 P. M. 
and U:i0 P. M. carry him right into the heart of that paradise.

As the yachting journal of America, the Forest and Stream is 
the recognized medium of communication between the maker of 
yachtsmen's supplies and the yachting public. Its value for ad-

its columns continuously for years.

1899 on fresh water were made in Toronto last week, 
the conditions, as given below, being agreed to and 
signed by the committees of the Chicago Y. C. and the

early in the month, appointed Messrs. W. R. Crawford, 
George Warrington, J. B. Berryman and Secretary 
Chas. H. Thorne a special committee to convey the

Royal Canadian Y. C. The latter club, at a meeting on 
Nov. 10, appointed a special committee of four, Com. 
Jarvis, C. A. B. Brown, Frank M. Gray and E. H. Am- 
brose, the latter of the Royal Hamilton Y. C, to confer 
with the Chicago yachtsmen. At the same meeting 
the following sailing committee was elected for 1899: 
Messrs. C. E. Archbald, F. M. Gray, J. Wilton Morse, 
J. S. McMurray, W. H. Parsons, J. Carl Reed and F. A. 
Turner. 
The Chicago party arrived at Toronto on the after- 
noon of Nov. 15, being met at the station by a number 
of Toronto yachtsmen. After luncheon the two com- 
mittees met at the town house of the R. C. Y. C. where 
the formal challenge was presented, as follows:
