Concerning the forthcoming Memorial Day shoot of the Birch 
Brook Gun Club, of Lynn, Mass., Mr. C, F. Lambert, under date 
of May 24, writes us as follows: "With favorable weather granted 
us on the 30th, should be able to report a record attendance at 
our shoot. Many of fhe trade representatives have advised us of 
their intention of being present, and in view of our belief that the 
presence of this class of sheoters goes a long way toward making 
a tournament successful, we lose no opportunity in arranging 
conditions to make their visit pleasant to them and profitable to 
their employers at one and the same time. Our grounds have 
been greatly improved' recently; the heavy growth of trees that 
formerly made a right-quarterer almost impossible to score, have 
been cut down, and pruned until such targets are like all others. 
One set of expert traps are in working order, and all we are now 
looking for is good weather and a crowd of shooters." 
The second annual tournament of the Bolivar, N. Y., Gun Club, 
to be held June 5, has a programme of twelve events, at 10, 15 and 
20 targets; total number of targets, 180; total entrance, $18; added

on the grounds free. Handicap committee, Messrs. S. A. Wert- 
man, of Bolivar; B. D. Nobles, of Olean, and one other, to be 
chosen by them. 
Mr. C. G, Blandford, captain of the Ossining, N. Y., Gun Club, 
under date of May 24, writes us as follows: "We are having built 
this week a platform to allow handicaps from 14 to 20yds. After 
the programme events Friday we will have a 50-bird handicap 
match open to all, with added money. Aug. 20-21 there will be a 
two days' shoot of the Ossining Gun Club. First day, 100 birds,

The special events at \he New Jersey State shoot last week were 
the State Individual Championship, at 50 targets, won with a score 
of 46 by Mr. Neaf Apgar, of the Peters Cartridge Company, on the 
first day; the three- man team championship, 30 targets per man, 
won on the second day with a score of 72, by Freehold Gun Club's 
team No. 1, whose membership was Messrs. Hance, Danser and 
Muldoon; the Individual Championship of the State, at live birds, 
won on the third day by Mr. J. W. Hoffman with a straight score 
of 15, and the New York-New Jersey team race, a tie on the 
fourth day. 
New Y'ork and New Jersey have a hard struggle to determine 
the question of supremacy. After all the shooting they are prac- 
tically a tie. The last contest, on May 23, at Freehold, N. J., 
resulted in a tie. There were ten men on a side. Each man shot 
at 25 live birds. Each team scored 207. The entrance was the 
price of the birds only, each man paying for his own birds. It is 
to be regretted that there was not something tangible to shoot for 
in the way of a trophy, etc., so that the event would have some 
worthy significance. 
n 
The Colt Hammerless Gun Club, of Hartford, Conn., has an 
attractive programme for its Decoration Day shoot, May 30. There 
are twelve events, nine of which are at 10 targets, 35 cents 
entrance; two at 15 targets, 50 cents entrance, and one at 25 
targets, 75 cents entrance, and $5 added if there are fifteen entries 
or over. Class shooting. All shooters invited. Loaded shells and 
lunch obtainable on the grounds. Take main street or Weathers- 
field cor to Wawarme avenue. Mr. R. McFetridge is the secre- 
tary.

The all-day shoot of the Brooklyn Gun Club, May 30, has a 
pleasing programme for a pleasant day's diversion. There are 
eight events at 10, 15, 20 and 25 targets, the latter a handicap with 
$2 added. Events 5 and 6 also have $2 added. The total of targets 
is 125, with a total entrance of $6. Moneys divided by the Rose 
system. Lunch served complimentary to shooters. Loaded shells 
on the grounds. Shooting commences at 10:30. Grounds at Enfield 
street and Liberty avenue. John S. Wright is the manager. 
There have been some inferences that, owing to the driving track 
addition, now in course of construction at Interstate Park, the 
matter of target tournaments would receive but incidental atten- 
tion. The trapshooting at targets will receive the same attention, 
as in the past; that is, first class attention, and large tournaments 
will be held during the year, as heretofore. These grounds, in the 
advantages offered, are unsurpassed. Aside from their mechanical 
equipment, they are beautiful to gaze upon. 
The Chamberlin Cartridge and Target Company, of Cleveland, O., 
is broadening its tiseful sphere of action time by time, its latest 
acquisition of public interest being the Fulford single-trigger, con- 
cerning which that company calls attention in our business col- 
umns. It therein announces that it will be ready to supply the 
Fulford single triggers for Parker and Smith guns by Sept. 1, 
this year, and later to all makes of guns. • 
Under date' of May 22, Mr. Herbert M. Federhen, Jr., writes 
us; as follows: "June 27 28, Boston Shooting Association at 
W ellington, Mass. Targets. On second day, first contest in the 
New England Interstate team match among five-man teams from 
Maine, Rhode Island and Massachusetts; also first contest in 
series between Maine and Massachusetts; ten-man teams. Sixty

The Athletic Club, of Philadelphia, and the Philadelphia Yacht 
CIub,held the third and deciding team shoot of the series of three

on a side, and each man shot at 50 targets, half magautrap, half 
Sergeant system. The yacht club was victorious by a score of 
594 to 552, thus leading its opponents by 42 targets. 
The S. P. C. A. was represented on the grounds of the Freehold 
Gun Club by one of its agents on the last two days of the New 
Jersey State shoot, for the purpose of gathering such evidence as 
might prove inimical to the interests of pigeon shooting from a 
legislative standpoint. 
Mr. J. A. Anderson, of Richmond, Va., writes us as follows: 
"On July 4, at Richmond, Va., the annual shoot of the East End 
Gun Club will be held. Prizes in each event. Two sets of traps. 
Sergeant system. A good time guaranteed every shooter who 
attends." 
The Silver Lake Gun Club, of Bellefontaine, O., has decided to 
hold a one-day instead of a two-day annual shoot, and to that 
end fixed upon June 19 as the date, instead of June 18 and 19, as 
previously announced.

The Peters Cartridge Company, of Cincinnati, will give a two 
days' shoot at Houston, Tex., July 4 and 5, under the auspices of

'Upland Game Birds." 
"Upland Game Birds," by Edwyn Sandis and others, is the 
latest contribution to the Sportsman's Library, edited by Caspar 
Whitney. It is from the press of the Macmillan Company, New 
York. The instructive text is most artistically and happily illus- 
trated by the famous artists L. A. Fuertes, J. O. Nugent and 
C. L. Bull. It treats of the quail, the grouse, the ptarmigan and 
the turkey family; of woodcock, plover, foreign game, cranes, 
mourning doves, quail and grouse of the Pacific Coast. It con- 
tains 429 pages, beautifully bound in cloth. 
Budd^Phellls Match. 
Omaua, Neb., May 17. -The match for tl u - Hazard puwdei 
championship trophy, between Mr. C. W, Budd, holder, and Mr. 
( . W. Phclhs, challenger, took place this afternoon on the grounds 
of the Omaha Gun Club. The shooting commenced at 1:15. It 
took about one hour and forty-five minutes to complete the contest. 
Budd won the toss and was first to the score. His first bird 
was from No, 5 trap, a dark blue driver, and was centered with 
the first barrel, but he used the second for safety. He seemed 
to be in the best of form, and continued to kill the fast and slow 
birds in good shape. When the score was finished he had ac- 
counted for the whole to the good. 
Mr. Phellis's first bird was a good, fast driver from No. 3 
trap, and was centered with both barrels. He continued shooting 
m line form up to the twelfth bird, a right-quarterer, which he lost 
His eighteenth and twentieth fell dead outside. He seemed to be 
shooting a little behind his birds, owing to a strong wind from 
right to left across the traps. He finished with 87. 
The birds were a good lot, and some were very fast. 
Mr. Phellis had been riding on the train for some days, and 
was not 111 the best of form, having had but little practice at live 
buds of late. 
Mr, W. D. Townsend, of the Townsend Gun Company was 
referee. His dog did the retrieving. 
Mr. II. S. McDonald pulled the traps. 
Budd shot a Parker gun and Schultze powder. Phellis shot a 
Parker gun and Ha- .rd powder. The scores:

On the first of October, about three in the morning, Couteau, a 
young man, a laborer, at Hamonville, in the department Vosges, 
driving his horses to pasture, heard the cries of a woman, who im- 
plored assistance in the most plaintive accents. He ran, and 
perceived a large wolf holding a woman under his paws. Al- 
though he was unarmed, he threw himself upon the animal, which 
got him under in his turn. The widow Couteau ran to the cries 
of her son, the animal pursued her, and got her down; Couteau 
again seized the wolf, dragged him to the ground, caught hold of 
his jaw, which he kept locked in his right hand, and at the same
