The Canadian Pacific. 
The Canadian Pacific has divided its exhibit this year 
between New York and Boston. The New York end has 
the same high quality that characterized it last year, 
though the representation of hunters is not so large. Mr. 
L. O. Armstrong is in charge, assisted by John Shepherd, 
of Desbarets, Ontario, and W. H, Rankin, of Teraisca- 
minque. There are half a dozen representative and ex- 
tremely interesting Indians with the exhibit. Albert Wa- 
boosa and George Kaboosa are Ojibways, whose country 
lies in western Ontario between the Soo branch and main 
line of the C. P. R. Kaboosa is a nephew and Waboosa 
a grandson of Bukwujjienene, who gave the legend of 
Hiawatha to Schoolcraft, and through him to Longfellow. 
Two Schoolcrafts married into their family. The grand- 
uncle of Kaboosa was Shingwank, who fought at the bat- 
tle of Queenstown Heights against the United States, and 
Waboosa has the old war drum upon which he played to 
accompany his song of the victory. He also has a medal 
given his grandfather, Shingwakonce, while fightmg with 
the British. It is of silver about the size of the trade 
dollar, supported from a bar on which are the words "Fort 
Detroit." On one side of the medal is a female figure 
crowning a soldier, and below the words, "To the British 
Army, 1793-1816," and on the reverse, "Victoria Regina, 
1848." On the periphery is the name, "Shingwakonce." 
Waboosa is in favor with the best element of his tribe, 
which numbers some 600 souls, and it is highly probable 
that he will be elected chief to succeed the former encum- 
bent, who died a few weeks ago. 
George Mitigwab and his squaw are Algonquins from 
Matawa. Like Waboosa, Mitigwab has a medal given 
his grandfather for service with the British. There is a 
bas-relief of George III. on the front, and on the reverse 
the national coat of arms and mottoes and the date 1814. 
The medal is 3K inches in diameter. Mitigwab's grand- 
father was an Algonquin chief from the Lake of Moun- 
tains named Kikous Constant. 
Witch Michel Katsenbaien and his daughter are Iroquois 
from the Caughnawaga Reservation, near Montreal. 
Michel is a great lacrosse player and spends his time at the 
Garden stringing lacrosse sticks. 
In General. 
Two other Indians in the Garden are Thunder Cloud, a 
■ Canadian Blackfoot who finds posing for artists in New 
York a surer way of earning his daily bread than hunting, 
and Talking Star, a young lady from the St. Regis In- 
dian Reservation in the western Adirondacks. These lat- 
ter are trade Indians and draw attention to the wares of 
a manufacturer of Indian baskets and fancy articles. 
The Moosehead Lake and Kineo section of Maine is 
represented, but the majority of Maine guides went to 
Boston this year. Sumner Crosby, of Bangor, who had 
much to do with the success of Maine exhibits in pre- 
vious shows, is gone — gathered in by the Great Reaper. 
The display of mounted heads and game trophies is par- 
ticularly strong. Hart has a great number of Alaskan 
-speciments and record heads, as well as a fine collection 
of Newfoundland caribou heads secured in a ten-days' 
hunt by Messrs. John F. Dryden, Robert S. Woodruff and 
A. R. Kuser. In Sauter's space is the head of Max- 
imilian Foster's New Brunswick moose, the largest .speci- 
men in the Garden with the exception of the Alaskan tro- 
phies. 
Mr. Sauter shows something new in the way of an 
importation from Germany of a great many curious and 
useful articles, for the construction of which deer's horns 
are used. The exhibit of boats and launches occupies a 
considerable section of the floor space. 
The Ontario Moose Country. 
The law is off on moose in Ontario this fall after a 
period of years of well enforced protection, and many 
sportsmen will undoubtedly visit the section in search 
of this finest of living Cervidce. Albert Waboosa, whose 
address is Desbarets, says that his hunting territory north 
. of the Soo Line, in Ontario, is a great moose country, 
but sportsmen who go there should realize that the coun- 
try is not well adapted for calling, and that the season is 
late, and that moose must therefore be secured by still 
- hunting. Caribou and deer are plentiful, and there are 
brook trout in the smaller lakes and streams, and bass 
and muskalonge in the larger. George Mitigwab, of Mat- 
tawa, is faniiliar with the Nipissing region and is a good 
man, according to the testimony of sportsmen at the Gar- 
den who hunted with him in Quebec. Mitigwab's portrait 
was shown in Forest and Stream several years ago in one 
of Mr. Ivory's hunting stories. 
Adirondack Panthers Not Extinct. 
The Adirondack guides at the Garden say that there are 
still a few panthers living in the Adirondacks. W. J. Sla- 
ter, of Saranac Lake, says that State Forester McClintock, 
with Will Merrill, of Axton, saw a panther near Amper- 
sand Pond a few weeks ago. Other statements date fur 
ther back. Ross Hayes claims to have seen panther tracks 
on Arab Mountain, near Childwold Station, in October, 
two years ago. Harvey Alford says the tracks of a pan- 
ther were seen at "South Meadows, north of Marcy, about 
the same time, and other tracks in Indian Pass. None of 
the guides knew of any panthers having been killed within 
ten years, however, and it is not likely that more than, a 
very limited number survive. 
The Tfade Exiiibits. 
A flooring over the seats of the first balcony, around 
the amphitheater, affords an excellent place for the display 
of the manufacturers' and dealers' exhibits, and they prove 
to be equal in attractiveness to anything in the Garden. 
Crowds swarm about them so densely in the busy hours 
that it is with difficulty one can pass along. 
E. !. Dupont de Nemours & Co. 
The exhibit of the E. I, Dupont de Neqiours & Co., of 
FOREST AND Sl-wfiAM. 
Wilmington, Del., occupies Space No. i, and is most 
artistically arranged in its general effectiveness. The 
prevailing color is white trimmed with gold, which, with 
the red velvet background of the handsome show cases, 
makes a very pleasing iriipression. The main case con- 
tains the monogram of the company, in a star composed 
of smokeless shotgun canisters. Old Eagle brand of 
kegs and newest smokeless powder packages surmount 
tlie case. Large packages are around the base of the 
white columns, and green canisters, twining about the 
columns, form a garland to the top, where the Stars and 
Stripes fold over all. In a large show case in the front 
are shown the various ingredients entering into the com- 
position of gunpowder, willow wood from which the char- 
coal is made, crude and refined saltpeter and sulphur, cot- 
ton and guncotton. Also the new powder for the large 
army and navy guns is exhibited. The various other 
brands are shown, both of the kinds used for firearms and 
the kinds used in the industrial world. The exhibit is in 
charge of Mr. Pierre Gentieu. 
Peters Cartridge Co and the King Powder Co. 
The exhibit of the Peters Cartridge Company and the 
King Powder Company, of Cincinnati, O., occupies the 
space used by them last year, in the southeast corner of 
Madison Square Garden. While the firm manufactures a 
full line of ammunition for rifle, pistol and shotgun, 
adapted for all kinds of .shooting, trap, field or military, its 
exhibit is confined more to office lines, being neatly fitted 
up with desk, chairs, carpetings, etc. A table in the 
middle -of the space bears a variety of literature ex- 
planatory of this great company's products, and groups 
of targets, showing accuracy of wonderful degree, testify 
to the excellence of their ammunition. The back of the 
exhibit is relieved by a mounted piece, a single duck, so 
arranged that it seems as if just shot in midair and falling 
to earth or water, brought down by the gunner. The 
whole is very neatly and tastily arranged. The exhibit Is 
in charge of Mr. T. H. Keller, the Eastern agent of 
the company, office at 80 Chambers street, New York, and, 
as is usual with him, he is ever diligent. While not en- 
tirely neglecting the practical use of the shotgun, he has 
taken up rifle shooting for some months, and already com- 
mands a high degree of sidll in that specially difficult 
field of competition. 
Colts Patent Firearms Co. 
Stand No. 33 is occupied by the Colts Patent Firearms 
Company, of Hartford, Conn., a glass case, with shelves 
also of glass, containing numerous pistols of their modern 
styles of revolvers, large and small in size and caliber. 
Mooney Horseshoe Pad Co. 
The Mooney Horseshoe Pad Company occupy space 34, 
and have a neat exhibit of rubber horseshoe pads, which 
add to the comfort and greater and longer usefulness of 
the horse, whether on snow, ice or the "bare city streets. 
Tatham Brothers, 
Stand No. 6 is devoted to a very complete exhibit of the 
different sizes and kinds of shot manufactured by Messrs. 
Tatham Brothers, 82 Beekman street. New York. The 
sizes range from dust shot, containing thousands to the 
ounce, up to buckshot 44 inches in diameter. The chilled 
shot, of which this firm makes a specialty, with the 
numerous other brands of drop and cast shot, constitute a 
very complete display of what sportsmen use and need, 
and what this company manufactures, 
Chamberlin Cartridge & Target Co. 
The Chamberlin Cartridge & Target Company, of 
Cleveland, O., exhibit a magautrap, in charge of Mr. 
Charles A. North. It occupies Space No. 37, on the south 
side of the Garden, and tlie manner in which blue rocks 
are thrown by it engages the attention of an earnest 
crowd constantly. Mr. North is kept busy explaining the 
purpose and manner of use of this strange machine. The 
blue rock target, itself so commonly used throughout the 
United States, is also a subject of much interest. The 
workings of this ingenious machine are practically displayed 
on the roof, where the tournament is in progress daily. 
Over 520 of these machines are in use throughout the 
United States at present. 
Von Lengerke & Detraold. 
The firm of Von Lengerke & Detmold, of 318 Broadway, 
New York, occupy a large space, Nos. 38 and 39, on the 
south side of the Garden, and so attractive is their 
exhibit that visitors are always present. In the hours 
when the garden is most heavily patronized, their space is 
ei-owded. The Francotte guns, from featherweight and 
knockabouts up to the heavyweights for ducks, form one 
of the main features of their exhibit in prices from $80 to 
$500, beautiful works of utility, and greatly admired by 
all. They also display Mauser military and sporting rifles, 
Mauser self-loading automatic pistols and carbines and 
light automatic sporting rifles, for which they are the 
agents. In fishing tackle, they have a fine display of 
hand-made rods, wood and split bamboo, and reels, lines, 
flies, gut, etc, in profusion. In the back of the exhibit is a 
fine 16-foot Racine electro-vapor launch, manufactured 
by the Racine Boat Manufacturing Compam^ of Racine, 
\Vis,. of which Messrs. Von Lengerke & Detmold are the 
agents, A line of Stevens rifles and pistols have space in 
the middle, The large electric sign over the space bril- 
liantly sets forth the legend E. C, Schultze and Rifleite, 
and illuminates the space effectively in the evening. Mr. 
Justus Von Lengerke gives the exhibit much of his per- 
sonal supervision, assisted by different members of his 
staff betimes, Messrs. Wright, Grief, Morehouse and 
Everett Auryansen. 
Savage Repeating Arms Co. 
A very complete and artistic display of the rifles manu- 
factured by the Savage Repeating Arms Company, of 
Utica, N. Y., occupies Space 40. Two columns, made of 
rifles, support a canopy, and beneath this the various 
grades of rifles, sporting and military, manufactured by 
this company are shown. _ Some of them, handsomely en- 
graved and specially finished, excite a longing for pos- 
session on the part of the beholder. The military Savage 
rifle, with the gold medal which it won at the Omaha Ex- 
tMARcs to, igoo. 
position, is shown in a glass case by itself, and is a gem'' 
of workmanship. Some penetration exhibits, of gre? 
lengths, give an optical illustration of the enormous 
power of these guns. The gentlemen in charge are Messrs. 
A. W. Savage, W. T. Crane, Frank Batcheler and A. J. 
Savage. 
Leroy Shot and Lead Works. ' 
Space 41 is occupied by the exhibit of the Leroy Shot 
and Lead Works, and the numerous sizes of shot, from 
dust to large buckshot, are displayed in bottles. 
The Union Metallic Cartridge Co. 
The great arch, on whose numerous glass shelves ar^ 
displayed samples of the many manufactures of the Union 
Metallic Cartridge Company, of Bridgeport, Conn., is a 
beautrful work of art in itself. It is majestic in size and 
elegant in design. Grass siding and glass shelving serve 
to display the highly burnished products, of which there is 
a profusion, in a satisfactory manner. There are caps 
and primers of all kinds, pecks of them; and rifld 
cartridges of all calibers, long and short, fat and lean, mili-i 
tary and sporting, with bullets in metal jackets and with- 
out jackets, and soft-nosed mushroom bullets, and am- 
munition for machine guns and rapid-fire guns, and shot- 
gun shells of many kinds and many gauges, from 28 up. 
hundreds of them in shelves from the bottom to the top 
of the high arch. Mr, J. J. Hallowell, the famous expertj 
is m charge. 
Page Woven Wire Fence. 
Close by the U. M. C. exhibit is the artistic display of 
the Page Woven Wire Company, of Adrian, Mich. A 
hunter's cabin, deftly constructed of woven wire, is sur- 
prising in its completeness. There is a wire door, a wire 
piazza, with wire posts to hold up the roof, and a wire* 
coon skin fastened to the front of the house, within whichj 
is a desk and chairs, where Mr. W. A. Hoisington, who 
IS in charge, answers the many questions of numerous 
callers. The wire fencing in the Garden, which inclose 
the elk, deer, buffalo and bears, was provided by this 
company, and the manner in which it withstood the 
charges of the big elk, when he felt combative on the 
first day, was a testimonial in itself to its great strength 
and utility. 
G. W. Cole & Co. and W. L. Marble. 
In Stand 44 is the exhibit of G. W. Cole & Co., 14! 
Broadway, New York, manufacturers of the "3 in 1" oil, 
so much used for guns and bicycles, and bicycle specialties. 
In part of the same space, Mr. W. L. Marble, of Glad- 
stone, Mich., displays his safety pocket axe, with a 
variety of knives used by hunters. These exhibits at- 
tracted great interest. 
Hazard Powder Co. 
The Hazard Powder Company, 44 Cedar street. New 
York, occupies its stand of last year, and it is in charge 
of Mr. B. Norton, the popular representative of that 
company. The exhibit is pleasingly arranged in appear- 
ance and instructive in its material. The ingredients of 
black powder are neatly displayed, a sample of the Blue 
Ribbon Smokeless is in view, and the back of the exhibit is 
conspicuous throughout the building, through the in- 
genuity of Mr. Norton, who conceived the idea of having 
the trade mark of the company enlarged to comparatively 
gigantic size, the legend, "Hazard leads the world" being 
made realistic by the gilded world revolving and the 
powder can leading on ahead. 
Francis Bannerman. 
Space No. 7 is occupied by the display of military 
goods — guns, swords, pistols and other soldiers' equip- 
ments — of Mr, Francis Bannerman, New York. Spencer:

of admii-ers which is ever present. There is a line of 
guns, featherweight field guns and other arms for field 
shooting, and trap and pigeon guns, avitomatic ejector and 
otherwise, many of superb finish and workmanship. One 
very elegant gun, finely engraved and with gold ^vovk in- 
laid, is shown in the soft, in a bright state without tiie 
finishing blueing, etc. "This exhibit is on tlie north

constructed and finished. They display a complete line of 
fine repeating rifles and shotguns manufactured by the 
Marlin Firearms Company, of New Haven, Conn. A 
Daly 3-barrel hanimerless, the rifle barrel a .30-cal., is 
one of the special features in guns. The new Mauser 
repeating rifle, 8 mm., and Mauser and Borshardt pistols, 
for which they are United States agents, are a part of the 
exhibit. A Marlin rifle, an exhibition arm, highly en- 
graved and inlaid artistically with gold hunting scenes, is 
a gem in itself, and is a part of their display. The Barger ' 
sight, made by Gray & Barger, New York, of which 
Messrs. Schoverling, Daly & Gales are agents, is shown 1 
in its practical application. In fishing tackle they display
