Boston Gun Club- 
Boston, Mass., April 2.— The usual weekly shoot of the Boston 
Gun Club was held on their grounds at Wellington to-day, and 
while the weather conditions were not of the finest, sixteen devotees 
of the scatter gun were present to do justice to the twelve events 
on the programme. 
The club had as an e:;tra inducement for the afternoon a special 
50-bird prize match, which was entered into by the majority pres- 
ent with the usual good feeling that is manifested on these grounds. 
After a decidedly interesting contest, Frank turned out to be the 
winner with 35, a small score to look at, but exceedingly good, as 
the wind at times was just short of a hurricane and necessitated lots 
of judgment with such tricky targets. 
The regular prize match came in for its fair share of interest, 
seemingly, not one whit less for its fourteen weeks of life. Bullard 
secured the premier position with 21, Hawkins and Frank holding 
second position with 19, who in turn had 4 targets to the good ol 
Lawson, Fess and Spencer. Scores follow:

Death of James G. Whitfield. 
The hosts of friends of James G. Whitfield will be shocked and 
grieved to learn that he died" at Kansas City on the morning of 
April 7, by his own act. He was widely known in sporting circles 
generally throughout the country, and was specially well known in 
trapshooting circles. He had achieved great fame as a sporting 
writer and newsgatherer, in which position he was admittedly of 
the best. He was present at the Grand American Handicap 
tournament, and his reports thereof were noticeable for the ful- 
ness, technical accuracy and pleasing style. He was of an amiable, 
quiet temperament. During the tournament he seemed to be 
preoccupied and melancholy, yet no one imagined for a moment 
that he contemplated such a rash act. Apprehension of financial 
embarrassments are given as a supposed cause for it. His death 
cast a gloom over all the friends, of whom the shooters were chief.

Ocean, Philadelphia, - Pa.— The following comes from a daily 
paper: "There has been some correspondence on 'how high birds 
fly' in Nature Notes, In the latest number Mr. E. I. Daubeney 
writes: 'The migratory movements of most birds are probably 
performed at a far greater distance from the earth than 40,000 feet. 
Some few species, however, such as starlings, larks and hooded 
crows, when migrating hardly ever go up beyond 1,000 feet, and 
generally keep close to the water. It is difficult to account for the 
enormous velocity of some birds' flight when migrating. The 
Northern. bluethroat goes at the rate of 540 miles an hour, flying 
4,800 miles from Egypt to Heligoland in a spring night of barely 
nine hours, "but have only moderat powers of flight." Virginia 
plover fly from Labrador to North Brazil, "9,600 miles without 
stopping," going at the rate of "636 miles an hour, and probably 
more." How can this speed be attained? It is impossible in the 
dense air near the earth, and consequently the birds resort to great 
heights where the resistance of the air is slight, and where there is 
a state of calm and but little moisture.' In migrating, it is added, 
ring doves and woodcocks, when invisible, sometimes rush down 
with a noise like a rocket; snipe do this, and stop their downward 
rush when only a few feet from the ground." I would respect- 
fully ask if the deductions of Mr. Daubeney are not a little over- 
drawn, even for this age of rapid progression? On second 
thought he may have made experiments with a gun and a fright- 
ened duck passing overhead. However, it would seem that he 
should be in the automobile business. Ans. If birds commonly 
migrate at a height of eight miles above the earth's surface we 
should think that even the slow flyers might move at the rates 
named. But they would be falling toward the earth's center and 
dead. It is all nonsense, of course. 
F. C, Canandaigua. — Is there any virtue in the process called 
"scouring" angleworms before using for bait? - I have read of such 
a way of preparing worms by putting them in moss. If you find 
room to comment on the process and to describe the best way to 
bring about the desired result I would be pleased to learn about 
it. Ans. To scour angleworms by leaving them over night in 
moss is usually counted an improvement of their bait qualities. 
G. M. H;, Wellsboro, Pa. — Can you tell me why it is that one 
never finds a female among rabbits killed, no matter how many 
are brought in? Ans. The reason is that "one" does not know a 
female when he sees it. In other words, female rabbits are often 
killed, but their sex may not be recognized by all.
