Jackson Park Gun Club.' 
Paterson, N. J., Jan. 10.— The shoot of the Jackson Park Gun 
Club this afternoon was quite a success. 
Nine shooters put in an appearance with guns, and several 
without them. Capi. Money came down early, and along with 
Garry Hopper went out to the grounds and had a little 15-bird 
contest by themselves. A great many of the birds were excep- 
tionally good; in fact, as Garry and the Captain put it after two 
or three misses, "Those birds actually beat me that time." \\'hen 
you hear expressions of this kind from sucli shooters as Capt. 
Money and Garry Hopper, the birds must be good. There are a 
number of cases of sickness among the members of this club at 
the present time, and such good shots as Aaron Doty has not 
been able to get to the grounds for several weeks. Billy Stalter 
is down. Johnny I'owers has serious sickness at home, and 
several others are on the sick list. 
The crowd was quite large to-day. The club house was com- 
fortably filled, and nicely warmed for their comfort. V\^e shot 300 
birds to-dav, starting at 1 o'clock and back in town again by 
4:30. 
The club expects to enter two teams m the Eastern team con- 
test, Jan. 15. Capt. Money, Garry Hopper and Arthur Bunn will 
represent the first team; Morgan, Geo. Hopper and Ed Klotz the 
second team. 
The Jackson Park Gun Club has vnider consideration at the 
present time a matter which I think will take final shape, and is 
what you may term a team shoot at live birds for amateurs belonging 
to organized gun clubs in the State of New Jersey, barring all 
paid representatives. The Jackson Park Gun Club, of Paterson, 
was organized for the purpose of promoting the sport among the 
amateur class, but it does not bar any gentleman shooter, whether 
paid or not. We always extend a cheerful welcome to any one 
who wishes to pay us a visit, and everybody is welcome to take 
part in the shooting. , , , , , 
If the Jackson Park Gun Club agrees to take hold of any shoot 
such as we have under consideration, we will endeavor to show 
the shooting public that we don't do things by halves. It will be 
either a three or five-man team, at about 15 birds, with a valuable 
trophy for the winning team, and a division of the purse made up 
from the entrance money.

Ossining Gun Club, 
OssiNiNC, N. Y., Jan. 10. — The regular shoot of the Ossining 
Gun Club to-day was well attended. The drawing cards were two 
cups, which were hotly contested for. The first handicap was 
won by C- G. Blandford, the only scratch man with 25 straight. 
Hans, with his handicap of 4, misses as breaks, also made 25, 
but as he did not enter for the cup, Blandford took it without a 
shoot-off. ^ ^ , -r. -r, ■, , 
The second cup was not won so easily. Barlow and P. B. had 
a spirited shoot-off, in which Bartow won on the last bird. 
Coleman had the misfortune to break his gun stock, which made

Poughkecpsie Gun Club, 
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Jan. 10. — To-day's practice shoot brought 
out eight men. With the temperature close to the zero point, a 
strong west wind sweeping across the grounds, and an inex- 
perienced boy riding the trap in "a steady-by-jerks" fashion, 
made shooting difficult, and good scores impossible. , 
Four events were shot off, however, including one 25-bird 
four-man team event. In this event the Hitters^ captained by Mr. 
Adriance, defeated the Missers, captained by Mr. Spencer, by 
four points. The Missers next week will try to turn the tables on 
them, in which event they will succeed to the better title. We 
admitted three new members the past week, two of whom are 
experienced trapshooters, and whose names have been prominent 
in these columns for some time, having been identified with other 
clubs. There is a general feeling among members that another- 
tournament, held some time before warm weather comes on,, 
would be a good thing for the club, and in all probability one will: 
be announced in the near future.

PUBLISHERS' DEPARTMENT. 
A Startling Fact, 
There is a calamity steadily but surely falling upon the people 
of the Northern and Western States, one that the physicians talk 
about and the newspapers of the country warn the people against,, 
but little attention seems to be paid to the warning by those ini 
power. We refer to the growning tendency of tuberculosis, lung 
and throat troubles. There should be provisions made by every 
State, and incorporated city and town, to get tuberculosis cases, 
away from the people who are in ordinary health, so as to keep, 
the disease from spreading. Attention is given to smallpox, be- 
cause it is a quick-killing disease, yet tuberculosis is more ter- 
rible in every way — in the long suffering and sure death of the 
invalid. In the Northern and ^V■estern States there is hardly one 
chance out of a thousand for the tuberculous patient to get well,, 
and as the disease is recognized as contagious by ninety-nine out 
of every hundred of the very best physicians, why is it some pro- 
vision is not made to isolate the diseased person. What would be 
better than for each State and city to arrange to have a sani- 
tarium in the pine woods of North Carolina and send those there 
who are not financially able to go themselves, and require those 
who are financially able to go there, for there many cases are 
permanently cured, and it seems that there is little or no chance 
for the disease to spread among the attendants and nurses. The 
large amoimt of ozone in the atmosphere seems to kill the tuber- 
cular germ as soon as it strikes the air, or at least before the 
sputum becomes dry, and it is admitted by specialists in lung: 
troubles that there is little danger of the sputum until it be-^ 
comes dry; therefore, if the germ is killed before the sputum dries, 
there is no danger of the disease spreading in the pine woods re- 
ferred to. The American Invalid Aid Society of Boston, a vol- 
unteer organization composed of such men as Rev. Edwardi 
Everett Hale, Mr. Upham, of the Youth's Companion; Mr. 
Clement, of the Transcript; Dr. J. Warren Achorn, and others, 
has, through the assistance of Mr. John T. Patrick, of the Sea- 
board Air Line Railway, sent many consumptives to the pine 
woods, and many of them have been permanently cured. Re- 
cently they commenced the erection of little houses down there, 
where the patients can be cared for, but this is only a start. What 
these benevolent minded men arc doing ought to be taken up 
oflicially by the city of Boston and every other Northern city 
and State, and done in a wholesale way. W'e suggest that the 
health boards of our cities write to Mrs. E. W. Waite, 707 
Tremont Building, Boston, secretary of the society referred to in 
Boston, and get some information on the subject, and perhaps, 
this society can lend some aid at once to get the invalids away 
this w-inter, and save the lives of many invalids and prevent the 
spread of the disease.

The catalogue for the year 1903 issued by the Andrew B. Hen- 
dryx Co., of New Haven, Conn., is a ponderous volume of 400 
pages, describing and illustrating the very large variety of articles 
which they manufacture. Of these, to the readers of Forest and 
Stream, the last 200 pages of the volume, devoted exclusively to 
fishing tackle, would seem to be the most interesting; but the 
first half of the book, containing a great variety of articles for the 
home, with bird cages as a specialty, will also interest many 
people- Those who are interested should write the Hendryx 
Co. for a copy of this catalogue. 
This is the season at which people are beginning to contemplate 
the planting of their gardens for the coming summer, and seeds 
of all sorts must now be selected. The 1903 — their one hundred 
and second successive annual — catalogue of Thorburn's seeds gives 
in its 128 pages what would seem to be a complete list of all the 
flowers and vegetable seeds, and the gardening tools, that one 
could need on a place. Those who are fortunate enough _ to 
possess gardens or facilities for growing plants should 'see this list. 
Mr. Carl Von Lengerke, traveling representative of the Ameri- 
can E. C. and Schultze Powder Company, left New York in the 
early days of this week for the purpose of visiting all the great 
pities of the Middle West, in the interest of his company.
