Chicago, March 31. — To-day the Western men pull their freight 
for the effete East to complete the few formalities necessary tor 
£.ome one of them to anne.x, the first money in tlie Grand American

ceded. \Ve only want to do this needful act in so graceful a way 
that it will leave no coldness. The advent of Mr. Head's proces- 
sion will be known by a dull, heavy jar on the Eastern seaboard 
some time within the next twenty-four or forty-eight hours. Among 
those who will particii;ate in the jar are Messrs. George '1 home,

CiliiOirt tiirghts Election. 
Calumet Heights Club met this week to elect officers for the 
year, I he following being chosen: President, A. W, Harlan; Vice- 
President. K. W. .Andrew.s; Secretary-Treasurer, \V'alter Metcalf. 
.Affairs of this club are very prof-pcrous, and tlie pleasant summer 
season is always awaited eagerly hy the members, for no place 
near Chicago is so goid and so easy to get at as these grounds, 
■^vhich have often been described in these columns. 
1 liear nothing more just now regarding the race between Dr. 
Williamson, of INIiluaukee, and Abe Klcinrnan, of this city; but 
there is gossip of a match between (he doughty doctor and two 
Chicago men, Joe Harto and Geo. Roll. We shall see what we shall 
.see. Talk is also heard about resuming the interesting iiUercity 
.races between Chicago and Milwaukee clubs. 
Nothing is settled yet as to the Chicago interclub races, and 
indeed nil things here now pend until the big show East is over 
.and the shooters are scattered to their respective homes. 
Chicago Shy, 
Chicago seems a shade shy with her shooters just now. The 
Tcpresentation from this city at New York next week will be 
large, but not so large as one -would like to see. 1 hear Ben 
Dicks is not going, although his entry went forivard some time 
since. Charlie Wilcox spoke of going, but he, top, says he cannot 
:gel away. Others of our shooters find business cares these good 
limes too much to permit their absence (rom home. No prospect 
offers here for a big race unless the gathering of the clans East 
may bring out some argument between a couple of the cracks 
'which will need reference to Mr, Watson fox decision. 
Grand Island — North Platte Side Shoot. 
Grand Island and North Platte gun clubs, of Nebraska, held a 
-very pleasant little team race at Grand Island, March 17,' for the 
birds and the banquet, honors resting with the Grand fsland boys, 
who ate witli the North Platte contingent, that evening at the 
Koehler Hotel. Mr. W. Jl. Harrison presided, and both banquet 
and the ensuing speech-making were enjoyable. 
The Grand Island team lined out ahead early in the race, and 
kept to the good pretty steadily, winning by 6 birds. The entry 
was of good size, fourteen men on each team, and the race at- 
tracted much attention thereabouts, liach man shot at 10 birds, 
the score being 6 bird-S in favor of the Islanders. The defeated 
■club has challenged for a return match. Scores: 
North Platte.

Charlottesville Gun Club. 
CHARi,OTTESVTttB, Va., Marcli 29i — Following are the scores 
made at the opening shoot of our gun club, held here to-day. 
-Owing to the cold and threatening weather, very few of the mem- 
bers were present. The club has recently beeii reorganized, and 
has put in a magauttap, this being our first regular shoot over 
it. which accounts for the low scores made by many of the mem- 
bers present. 
We have a membership of about twenty-fiv6, 'and all are very 
€nthusia.stic. Every one was pleased with the vvorking of the trap, 
and we consider it a thorough success:

AtLENTOWN, Pa., March 29.— The tournament, given under the 
auspices of the J. F. ^Veiler Gun Club, at Greisemersville, wa.s con- 
cluded, to-day, the third and last day of the tournament. There, 
was s large attendance of visitors from neighboring towns. Miss 
.'\nnie Oakley, the famous lady shooter, was present, and her 
displays of skill evoked great enthusiasm. The first day was de- 
voted to target shooting; the second was a live-bird day, and a 
high wind made difficult shooting; there was also live-bird shooting 
on the third day. The tournament was considered a great success.

Mo aotlce taken of anouymona oummnnicatious. 
Reader of Forest and Stream, Detroit, l^Iich.— The keeper of a 
museum in this city claims that the fresh-water dogfish has no 
scales, while others believe that it has scales like a trout. 'I'o 
settle the difference of opinion we have decided to leave it to 
Forest and Stream. Ans. The fresh-water dogfish belongs lb the 
sub-class (.lanoidei. It has large round scales, but Ihev are certainly 
not especially like the trout's; at the same time they are scales. 
The fresh-water dogfish and the gars are survivors of ancient ll>hes 
that lived in early geological times, and possessed a hard bony 
covering or armor, the scales or plates of which are commonly 
found fossil.

Lake St John and the Saeuenay, 
. Who has not heard of the furore created among tourists ancl 
sportsmen by the recent opening up of a new and fascinating 
route to the far-famed Saguenay River in northern Cnnnda by way 
of Oitebec and Lake St. John? One of the ni<ist romantic rnunil 
trips ever planned for a summer outing consists of a triantmar 
trail — if we may be pardoned the paradox— from (Jiiehcc lo |.;ike 
St. John by a railway that crosses the Canadian Adirondack!! 
for 190 miles; from Lake St. John to Chicoiitimi, al the 
head of navigation on the Saguenay. Iiy the l:i.«t cotn|>lcird 
link of this railway, and back to Ouebec by steamer ihrotigli 
the deep rift cleft in the massive molintains of the S:igucnay liy 
the dark majestic river of the same name on its way to ilie sea. 
Lake St. John is the source of the Saguenay and the home ol the 
famous ouananiche or fresh-water salmon, ihe greale.'t game Hsh 
in existence. The anglers lotidest in its praises are lliose who 
have crossed the Atlantic or come from the Soullieni States to give 
it fight in the rapid waters of the great lake's dischar"". or is 
mighty tributaries, some of which are over a mile wide at their 
mouths and hundreds of miles in length. — Adv. 
The Primus stove, advertised in another column, deserves careful 
investigation by tra\'elers who are oblrged to make their 0"n (ires, 
many of whom find themselves sometimes in situations vvticre 
neither fuel nor a place to build a fire can be had. The stove has 
the. merits of cheapness and compactness, and there are many 
condition.'! under wMch it wtll be found useful. The gunner in the 
ducking blind, the canoeist in a rain storm, and the traveler over 
the arctic ice, together with many others, will appreciate the value 
of the invention. — Adv. 
The article, Cauterta, advertised by the F. W. De Yoe C. T. 
Raynolds Co., supplies a want that has long been felt by people 
who are obb'ged to remove paint and varnish from old surfaces. 
The old-fashioned method of scraping and sandpapering is done 
away with, and a surface is left which is smooth to receive the nev/ 
coat. To canoeists, the tWo products, Cauteria and Vertjosiie; 
cannot fail to be very tiseful.— 1 ;r
