How About Ii? 
Plad the Humane Society of Kansas City been seeking good 
{cod for thought at Blue River Park, it could have found abun- 
dance of clay pigeons on the ground, and fresh goose eggs on the 
blackboard, all gratis. 
The parents of many of the goose eggs were a north wind an a 
perpendicular target. There were others. 
There was a chill in the atmosphere of the first two days, 
though tempered somewhat by hot air here and there. 
Mr. Fred Gilbert made high average of the total programme, 
notwithstanding some setbacks. 
The 23yd. mark seems to be about one yard too many for even 
the best shooters. 
Doc A. Quick, in the Consolation Handicap, made the highest 
score of any made in the lOO-target events, namely, 95 out of 100. 
Mr. Max E. Hensler, winner of the Preliminary Handicap and 
second in the G. A. H., is nineteen years old, an age that some 
of the shooters can. imagine by thinking backward. 
Mr. M. Diefenderfer, winner of the G. A. H., took his honors 
as modestly as became a good contestant. He should cut off 
the last half of his name, for he is no derfer with a shotgun. 
Mr. Chris. Gottlieb, an excellent shot himself, watched the 
scores with deep interest in the G. A. H. 
Messrs. \V. R. Crosby and F. Gilbert were on the 23yd. mark. 
Messrs. J. H. Hughes, John Garrett and H. C. Hirschy were on 
the 22vd."mark; easier marks were nearer. 
The" two ladies. Miss Nellie Bennett, of Denver, and Mrs. Net- 
tie King Burrows, of St. Louis, shot with an accuracy superior 
to that of many of the other contestants, and with a grace 
equalled by none. 
The U. M. C. Co. and the W. R. A. Co. made the evenings 
pleasant for those who chose to enjoy their princely hospitality. 
Mr. Irby Bennett was the host in behalf of the Winchester Com- 
pany; M'r. A. C. Barren in behalf of the U. M. C. Co. 
There were a few trade agents at the shoot. 
St. Louis would like to have the G. A. H. next year. 
The press should feel deep gratitude to the manager, Mr. Elmer 
E. Shaner, and to the compiler of scores, Mr. J. K. Starr, for 
uniform courtesy and consideration at all times, and for neat, 
full and correct copies of the scores, etc., at the right time, tht 
earliest possible moment

Poughkeepsie Gun Qub. 
PoucHKEEPSiE, N. Y., April 11. — The weekly shoot of this club 
to-day was favored by fine weather. In the principal event, No. 
5, several of the boys who had shot in the two last shoots under 
very unfavorable weather conditions, such as to make low scores 
and consequently low average, had such a liberal handicap to-day 
that it was comparatively easy work to put up a winning score 
for the Marshall cup. In this event Smith with 9, and Winans 
with 5 misses allowed as breaks, tied on 24. In the shoot-off 
Smith scored 21 and Winans 25, thereby winning the cup for this 
week. Event No. 6 was the shoot-oft'. Scores follow:

PUBLISHERS* DEPARTMENT. 
Found at Last. 
Several years since a party of Northern farmers, mechanics and 
small retail dealers formed a society in Revere, Mass., to institute 
an investigation in regard to the climatic conditions and busi- 
ness opportunities down South, and after three years of personal 
investigation through the South, they finally decided that the best 
all-year climate, the most healthful section in the Union, was at 
Pinebluff North Carolina, in the high sandhills of Moore county, 
a point on main line of the great Seaboard Air Line Railway, 
seventy miles south of Raleigh, the capital of the State. In the 
early summer of 1901 they sent two men down to spend the sum- 
mer, so as to see the effect of going South during the summer 
months. One of the party was more than sixty years old, and 
had suffered with rheumatic troubles for several years. He was 
relieved of the trouble soon after he reached North Carolina and 
made favorable reports. In the winter of 1901 they sent down 
three families, two from Massachusetts and one from New Hamp- 
shire, to clear up lands, build temporary houses and cultivate 
the ground and report results. It has been shown that lands 
which were in the native woods March 1 were cleared of trees, 
stumps and trash, fenced and planted and crops gathered at a 
cost of about $25 an acre. The land yielded $75 to $80 an acre 
planted in sweet potatoes, and after paying $10 an acre for the 
land it left a clear profit of about $40 an acre; and from the in- 
formation gathered, the settlers report that the land will after the 
first year produce greater yields than the first season's crops. 
There are many New Englanders and Northern people going 
to Pinebluff, and a city charter has been granted by the State oi 
North Carolina. Hon. J. W. Pope, formerly of Marlboro, Mass., 
is Mayor. Of the five City Commissioners, four are Northerners, 
among whom, is Mr. N. . Q. Stewart, son of Mr. J. P. Stewart, 
of the coal dealers of Charlestown, Mass. 
Pinebluff, N. C., is the town in which Mr. John T. Patrick, of 
the Seaboard Air Line Railway, has his home, and it is just six 
miles south of the prosperous wint'Cr health and pleasure resort.

It is a great feather in the cap of any manufacturer to have won 
the Grand American Handicap, by far the most important shoot- 
ing event of the year; and the one held this month at Kansas 
City, Was one of the largest target shoots ever held. That this 
success should have come to the old reliable Lefever gun is a mat- 
ter of great gratification to the manufacturers, as, of course, it is 
also to the many men in this country who are using these ex- 
cellent arms. Mr. Martin Diefenderfer, of Wood River, Neb., as 
win be seen elsewhere in Forest and Stream, won the great 
prize with his Lefever Arms Co. ejector gun. In view of this vic- 
tory, it is not surprising that the Lefever Arms Co. have some- 
thing to say on this subject. 
Any one that has in mind ordering a gun this coming fall and 
has not decided on the make of gun, will do well to call on 
Messrs. Von Lengerke & Detmold and look at their beautiful 
line of Francotte guns and knockabout guns. They will take 
dimensions of your old gun and order you a gun in any gauge 
wanted, to be delivered in the fall, guaranteeing the gun to fit 
same as your old one and to shoot as wanted, without extra 
charge. Any one living ovit of New York City can be furnished 
with engravings of all the different grades, and by furnishing 
Messrs. V. L. & D. with dimensions of their old gun or sending 
their old gun to them, orders will be satisfactorily executed. 
The very striking and beautiful cut on the adjacent page calls 
attention to the business of Messrs. Abercrombie & Fitch, who are 
so well known to our readers as supplying camping and other 
goods needed by sportsmen. From their new quarters they re- 
cently sent out an enormous quantity of material to fit out the 
Ziegler Arctic Expedition, and these quarters are daily thronged 
with sportsmen. Mr. E. S.Osgood, for many years with the U. S. 
Net & Twine Co., has charge of the fishing -tackle department, and 
many of his old friends who have not known of his whereabouts 
will be glad to learn of his present connection. 
Mr. T. H. Keller, of the Peters Cartridge Co., informs us that 
a new 50-shot out-door pistol record has been established at the 
range of the Massachusetts Rifle Association, Walnut Hill, Mass., 
April 4, by Thomas Anderton, of Boston, who, shooting at 50yds., 
scored 480 points on the Standard American target, four points 
higher than the previous record. Mr. Anderton used Peters .22- 
caliber long rifJe cartridges in making this record. 
At the Allegheny, Pa., tournament, April 8 and 9, we are in- 
formed that thirty-five out of forty-seven shooters used Peters 
factory loaded shells. 
New Advettisements. 
Messrs. H. & D. Folsom Arms Co., whose advertisement appears 
in another column, are the New York headquarters for the Rush- 
ton and Morris rowboats and canoes, two makes of boats famous 
among those who travel on the water. Lightness, beauty and 
speed are the especial qiialities of the Rushtons, while strength 
and durability, combined with low price, make the Morris product 
attractive. Besides these boats, the Folsom Arms Co. carry guns, 
rifles, revolvers, ammunition and all the camping goods and other 
articles needed by sportsmen. 
Lake St. John, Chicoutimi and the ouaiianiche and brook trout 
of the Lake St. John region are familiar enough names to F'orest 
AND .Stream readers. That an admirable hotel should stand side 
by side with unequalled fishing, and a hunting ground where 
moose and caribou are to be found, seems extraordinary. You 
can almost play golf with one hand and cast your fly with the 
other. Full information concerning this country may be had of 
the agents of the Quebec & Lake St. John Railway, whose adver- 
tisement, as usual at this season, appears in Forest and Stream. 
During last spring and summer a considerable number of 
anglers visited Washington county, Maine, for the admirable trout 
and salmon fishing to be found there. The Washington County 
Railroad, whose advertisement is again this year found in Forest 
AND Stream this week, offers to give information about this fish- 
ing territory, as well as about summer places where men can take 
their families and be comfortable at reasonable rates. 
Most men — for their sins, we suppose— are obliged to shave, and 
we never heard of anybody who could get along without shaving 
soap. Williams' shaving stick, manufactured by the J. B. Wil' 
liams Co.. Glastonbury, Conn., whose advertisement is found else- 
where in this issue, reduces the suffering of shaving to a minimum 
and makes that usually painful operation comfortable, convenient 
and safe. 
Complaint is often made by those who in summer do deep 
trolling for salmon, lake trout and other fish, that the heavy 
sinkers which it is necessary to use take away all sport from the 
capture. The Metal Line Mfg. Co., of New York City, have an 
article which does away with the need of sinkers. What this is 
their free leaflet will tell the inquiring angler. 
Visitors to the Adirondacks, the Maine woods, Canada, and the 
Reeky Mountains in June and July know something of the sor- 
rows that black fly carries on his small back, and unloads on the 
human being that he meets with. It is said that the preparation 
Presto manufactured at Ossining, N. Y., keeps mosquitoes away 
and kills all insects. It is thus something that every one needs. 
The Fisherman's Noveltv Mfg. Co., of Dayton, O., whose adver- 
tisement is found in another column, manufacture a variety of 
landing nets of peculiarly interesting character,, because they are 
adjustable to a variety of different positions. At this season, when 
anglers are renewing their supplies, the information given by these 
manufacturers is especially useful.
