ON LONG ISLAND. 
Hel! Gate Gtm CIo&« 
New York, March 29.— The monthly shoot of the Hell Gata 
Gun Club was held at Dexter Park, L. I., on March 28. Despite 
the beastly weather, thirty-eight members and three guests faced 
the traps. The birds were a fast lot, and a strong incommg 
wind made them very erratic in their flight. 
At the last meeting of the club, held at Sheir headquarters, 
1355 Amsterdam avenue, the president, John 11. Voss, was pre- 
sented with a diamond charm, as a recognition for his long suc- 
cesslol management of the cmb, and his good fellowship. A good 
old sociable time wound up the evening or rather night.

E. A« Wadswoeth, Sec'y, 
St« Louis Shooting Association, 
New- York, April 1.— Editor Forest and Stream: As you Iiave 
already anijounced to your readers, the E. C. cup, emblematic 
of the inanimate target championship of the world, will be con- 
tested for in open competition at the Missouri State shoot, to be. 
held at St. Louis, May, 16-20, under the auspices of the St. Louis 
Shooting Association. 
When the St, Louis Shooting Association first requested the 
American E. C. & Schultze Gun Powder Co. to place this cup 
in open competition at its tournament, the secretary of the 
Association, Mr. H. B. Collins, asked me, in the event of the 
above company favorably considering the request, to forward to 
him a couple of photographs of the cup. The other diiy I 
mailed him the photographs and received his acknowledguieut 
through the courtesy of Mr. Herbert Taylor in the following letter, 
which I take to be of sufficient interest to the shooting public to 
find space in your publication: HThe letter is dated St. Louis, 
March 27.). 
'T beg to acknowledge the receipt of your recent favor; also 
two photographs of the cup. The photographs have excited 
unusual interest among the sportsmen who have seen them, and 
have been of material assistance to us in the way of preparing 
a design for a beautiful cup, which has been given to this Asso- 
ciation by the St. Louis Republic. 
"I do not intend to convey the idea that the design has been 
copied in the slightest detail, as this new cup is a loving cup, 
with a picture of a trap-shooter at the score in half relief. The 
cost of the cup will be between $700 and $800, and will be em- 
blematic of St. Louis' open for all contest at hve birds. The 
conditions have not been definitely settled, but they will probably 
follow the rules governing the Kansas City Star cup, which, as 
you know, is now the property of Mr. J. A. R. Elliott, and no 
longer subject to competition. 
"We are out of the woods now in regard to our tournament; 
ample money is assured; programme mapped out and adopted, 
and arrangement of grounds completed. We have now to execute 
the mechanical work, and will open up on May 15 the best and 
largest tournament ever held in the country, given by amateurs 
for amateurs, and for the love of the sport. Not banS^g any class 
of men, yet making it possible for the 80 per cent. E-an to shoot 
through the programme. 
"We seek to attain these results by adopting the Rose system 
of division of moneys, and making the man who can only break 
11 out of 15 or 15 out of 20 transact a little business with the 
cashier at the end of the day. It is one of the pleasant features 
of a tournament, that little interview with the man in the box 
ofhce. When you say 'Please settle up with me,' and when 
you stick that money down in your jeans, it comes as near warm- 
ing the cockles of the amateur's heart as anything in the world. 
"We arc going to try and make it pleasant for' most everybody 
except the 95 per cent. man. He will have to be content with 
modest winnings as compared with the old times, when little 
amateur tournaments paid one or two shooters ?100 or $200 per 
day. and when everybody else was loser. 
"A man at our tournaments if he shoots like a house afire can 
make money; an average shot will more than pay his expenses, 
and the man that plays in hard luck cannot lose very much. 
"The Association adds a large amount of money. Just think 
of it! $30 added to the 15-bird events, and $35 to the 20-bird 
events. Think how many targets that will buy I And we take 
out only 2 cents for targets! It's a losing proposition on the 
face of it for the Association. We do not have the support 
that has been given to tournaments in the past by manufacturers. 
"Let me add in conclusion that if any tournament is deserving 
of a large attendance this one surely is. If any plan for running 
a tournament will bring the amateur from his hiding place, and 
put the sport on a proper basis, we believe that we have found 
the right way to do it. 
"The few evils which have crept into the sport we have tried 
to eliminate, and if we do not succeed in making this tournament 
in May at St. Louis the best one from all points of view that 
was ever given, why, we just don't know how.'' 
The above letter from Mr. Tayjor speaks for itself, and shows 
how hard the St. Louis Shooting Association is working to 
make its tournament a success.

Boston Gun CIub» 
Wellington, Mass., March 31. — ^The Boston Gun Club held 
its final shoot iri first '99 series Wednesday, March 29, and the 
most noticeable feature of the afternoon was a gale of wind that 
beat the record for velocity and general depravity. The little 
coterie of shooters aboard the usual train were partially prepared 
for an interesting seance with the targets upon viewing the white- 
caps and rolling billows of the adjacent river from car windows, 
and later, while shooting, the surf could easily be seen dashing 
high on the banks of the same stream, as it narrowly winds in front 
of the club house some 500yds. away. It was truly a picnic, and 
the kind of a picnic where nobody improved on former scores, and 
all but the 21yds. shooter succumbed to the inevitable and would 
prefer the scores not to be printed. Either Mr. Leroy's load had 
a knack of reaching the right place at the right instant or he just 
fooled the targets by smashing them so quickly that, the breeze 
was beaten at its own game. _ ' 
His quick execution was very noticeable, and once or twice 
it was found necessary to remind him that it would be just as well 
to allow the target a slight start. 
The prize winners and scores are given at the conclusion of this 
report. Mr. Woodruff is now the fortunate possessor of a B. G. C. 
watch charm, just beating out Gordon and Miskay by one target. 
The scores are not so high as in previous series, principally because 
of so -many stormy Wednesdays. One week was missed entirely 
on account of it being impossible to shoot; this narrowed the 
fotu-teen shoots to thirteeji, and of these six best scores were 
selected for prize total. The five best scores counted for the 
two, or, rather, four team prizes. Regardless of the weather, the 
shoots have been well attended, and a great deal of pleasure and 
prjictice derived from the afternoon meetings. The new series 
will cover the months between now and shore bird season; and, 
given more favorable shooting conditions, the scores should 
show much improvement

Lane vs. Steeger. 
Waterloo, la., l\rarch 29.— A live-bird match was shot on the 
grounds of the Waterloo Gun Club to-day between Messrs. 
Henry Steege, of Waterloo, and Mr; J. A. Lane, of Marshalltown. 
The conditions were 50 birds each, 30yds. rise. The purse was. 
$100. Dr. W. B. Kibbey, of Marshalltown, was referee. The 
match evoked great interest, and was witnessed by a large number 
of spectators. 
Lane shot an L. C. Smith 12-gauge |;un, using U. M, C. 
smokeless 3in. shells, loaded by himself with 3%drs. of Du Pont 
smokeless powder and l%oz. No. 6 shot in the second barrel. 
Steege shot his Lefever 12-gauge gun, with Winchester Leader 
shells, factory-loaded, 3^^,drs. of Du Pont powder and 1^4oz. of No. 
ly'j, shot in first barrel, and lV4oz. No. 7 in second. 
A high wind blew across the traps from left to right, and this 
may have had some effect on the score, which, however, is 
considered remarkable fnr amateurs. The scores were:

PUBLISHERS' DEPARTMENT. 
Artificial Limbs. 
Mr. A, A. Marks, of 701 Broadway, New York, sends us his 
"Treatise on Artificial Limbs, with Rubber Hands and Feet." 
Its 530 pages and 800 illustrations give a revelation of the wonder- 
ful perfection Mr. Iilarks has attaiiied in the making of arms and 
hands, and legs and feet, and thus restoring to thousands of 
maimed men and women practical substitutes for the limbs they 
have lost. The purpose of^ the Treatise is thus set forth: 
"An effort has been made to parallel every possible case of 
amputation and deformity of the extremities, or so nearly so as to 
convey with distinctness the methods that are to be adopted for 
their correction. Any person who is maimed in leg, arm, foot 
or hand will be able io find a case almost identical with his own, 
and to learn how such case was prothetically treated. It is to 
be hoped that this book will dispel that gloom which naturally 
comes to one on whom misfortune has placed its baneful hand, 
"To many persons the life of a cripple is a blighted existence. 
The loss of a leg or an arm is a sore bereavement, but the time 
has arrived when remedial measures are so eflectiTe that the loss 
of a limb is to be regarded as a minor misfortune, not as serious 
as the impairment of health or the loss of any one of the senses. 
What has been done can be done again. The thousands of limbless 
persons who have had their disabilities removed are but evidences 
that there is a bright future and an agreeable compensation for 
every affliction that may happen to the human extremities."

The hunting grounds and fishing streams of the two Virginias 
are among the most attractive to the true sportsman in the United 
States, not alone for the quality of game they offer, but also 
for their accessibility to the great cities of the East and West, 
the light tax they impose upon the purse, and the pleasure given 
an outing among Virginia mountains by their great scenic beauty 
and interesting historic associations. The circuit of fifty miles 
around Clifton Forge, which embraces Bath, Highland and Alle- 
ghany counties, and the great Virginia Springs Basin, is un- 
questionably the best mountain deer region between the Rocky 
Mountains and the Adirondacks. Speckled trout abound in all 
the streams of both Highland and Alleghany counties, while bass 
are abundant in the Cow Pasture, in the James between Clifton 
Forge and Natural Bridge, and in the Greenbrier River, in the 
vicinity of Fort Spring and Alderson. But it must not be as- 
sumed that the field for sport in Virginia is confined to the 
mountain region, for upon Hampton Koad.s. at ()Id Point Comfort, 
the line may be dropped in salt water with infinite profit and 
pleasure to the angler, who, while satisfying tlie fisherman's am- 
bition, breathes into his lungs that greatest of tonics, the ozone 
of the sea. — Adv. 
Western Boats. 
I HAVE just received the new boat catalogue of Dan Kidney & Son, 
of West l)e Pere, Wis., and 1 am interested at seeing that this 
old firm builds a great many sons of buats, canoes, launches, etc., 
besides the old reliable Green I'.ay duck boat. This latter craft 
is a staple all through this U'eslern country, and I question if 
we shall ever have a better model for marsh work. In these days 
of reviving interest in canoeing, it may be of interest for some 
fellow to know that Dan Kidney & Son make some very knowing 
looking smooth-shell canoes, both paddlers and sailing.

Before long people will be turning their steps northward and 
eastward to fish for troi:c, and later for salmon, and all through 
the summer others will be planning for the big-game hunt, to be 
made in the fall. One of the best-known regions for all this is the 
Lake St. John country, long famous as the home of the ouanan- 
iche, that prince of game fishes. Besides its other attractions, 
its nearness in time to the eastern United States points makes 
this country especially attractive, and besides the fish and game 
to be found there is the remarkable scenery of the far-famed 
Saguenay River. You can step off the trains of the Quebec & 
Lake St, John Ry. almost at the fishing point,— Adv. 
The vestibule sleeping bag advertised in another column claims 
as its advaniages light weight, comjiact form and practical con- 
struction. The inventor of the vestibule sleeping bag seems to 
have overcome one great objection to sleeping out of doors in 
certain weather, in making a bag where the vestibule keeps the 
head of the occupant dry and warm, and the ventilator affords a 
corstant circulation of fresh air. Moreover, he claims that this 
is the only bag which has a perfect system of lacing and yet is 
absolutely waterproof. It combines tent, woolen blanket, and 
rubber blanket at less than half the weight and less than half 
the ca&t.—Adv.
