State event 3 was the Denny- Wilson trophy, 15 live birds, $10 
entrance, birds extra, cup and 40 per cent, to the winner; next 
three highest scores to receive 50, 30 and 20 per cent, respectively. 
Thirty-two entered. Of these, nine withdrew at an early stage, . 
when it became apparent that a miss or two put a contestant out 
of winning any sum worth continuing for. Fred Coleman and 
J. Vandegrift scored straight, and the shoot-off was postponed till 
the following day. The conditions of this trophy provided that a 
shooter scoring three consecutive wins became the owner, and 
any one failing to score that number within five years, it then 
would be competed for by those who had scored wins on it. The 
previous winners were J. J. Hallowell, of Philadelphia; F. Cooper, 
of Mahanoy City; J. T. Atkinson, of New Castle, and W. S. 
Bessemer, of Millvale. 
Ten tied on 14; seven tied on 13, and three tied on 12. The

Fifth Day, Saturday, May 23, 
This was the last day of the shoot. The weather was com- 
fortably pleasant, though too warm for the birds to be at their 
best. The shoot-offs were specially interesting to the shooters 
and the spectators. The exhibitions of skill were first class. 
Coleman was shooting in remarkably fine form. He was putting 
in both barrels within quick time and accuracy, and though 
shooting so quickly, he was shooting with judgment. If not quite 
sure with the first at times, he always made sure with the second. 
He caught his birds so quickly that they did not have time to 
get up speed and become hard. Vandegrift also was shooting in 
fine form, and was pressing Coleman hard, and though he lost 
finally it was only after a race which was high class. Coleman's 
work was extraordinary throughout the tournament. He won the 
State championship, the Wolstencroft trophy at targets, the 
Denny-Wilson trophy, the Williamsport trophy, and was a member 
of the successful team which ' contested for the L. C. Smith 
trophy. 
The shoot-ofif of ties at 5 birds, for the Denny-Wilsoti trophy, 
first 20 at 28yds., then 10 birds at 31yds., resulted as follows;

Coleman thus won the cup. 
The first e'ent was s 10-bird handicap, open to all, .$7.50 en- 
trance, birds included, 26 to 33yds.; three high guns; for every 
five entries over twenty, an extra money was made There were 
thirty-three entries. Elliott was the back-mark man, 32yds.; E. 
Johnson, of Atlantic City, was one yard nearer. Six tied on 
straight scores, Elliott, Trafford, Morris, Vandegrift, Jebb and 
Johnson. There were twelve 9s, but 9 was of no value. The

Boston Gtin Club. 
Boston,- Mass., May 20.— The second shoot of the summer series 
was held at Wellington to-day, the attendance numbering a baker's 
dozen. Some complained of the unlucky number, and knew they 
would not be able to shoot, and according to the scores, they 
were quite right. Frank was easily high gun, his pairs, how- 
ever, being a serious drawback, but singles were just to his liking, 
and he let very few of them get away. Gleason was next in line, 
rapidly getting used to the 18-yard mark, and soon there will be 
no holding the Doctor, who recently put the club record at 93 
out of the 100.

May 13.— The Boston Gun Club opened their new prize series 
at Wellington to-day, a small attendance only being present, but 
no lack of enthusiasm, and the shoot in itself proved to be just 
the right kind of a social gathering. New distances proved a set- 
back to most all, though the worst to be afHicted was the winner 
of last series, and the two yards seemed to cause no end of 
trouble. This will not last long, as John is just the boy to ferret 
out the whys and wherefores, and it will not be his fault if he 
does not find where the trouble lies. Good scores were on a 
vacation, one clean score being all the 14 shooters could find, 
though one way and another, there were quite a few of those 
unkillable targets grassed, and surely l!he shooter that did it felt 
way up into the 90 'per cent, class, when such a mistake hap- 
pened. In a little impromptu team match, both sides scored, 
even, and the question of superiority of one over the other is 
not yet settled, though each claims to be the winner. Major 
Hallam, however, says: "Wait till next time, and we won't do 
a thing to them," and so the story goes.

G. B. T., Lakeport, N. H. — While walking on the beach at 
Old Orchard, Me., a few days ago, I came across a queer fish or 
animal, which I would like very much to have you name and 
describe. I send a rough drawing. It was about 11 or 12 inches 
long and covered with a shell like a turtle; the tail or spike is 
three-square and 51/8 inches long, and the whole body of a dark 
brown, a little lighter on under parts. It covered itself with sand 
very quickly. The forward part was concave, and there was quite 
a suction when pulling it out of the sand. There were twelve or 
more legs with claws like the small claws of a lobster", and he 
kept them so busy that he was hard to examine. Please tell me 
about him in correspondence column. Ans. Your drawing and 
description make it quite certain that your animal was a horse- 
shoe crab {Limulus), a gentis of crustacean found along the 
Atlantic coast from Maine to Florida and the West Indies. They 
are very common from southern New England southward. Two 
doubtful species are found on the coast of Asia.. The position of 
Limulus is as yet uncertain. While generally regarded as a crus- 
tacean, there are some who believe that its relationships may 
ultimately prove to be with the scorpions. The horseshoe crab 
frequents sandy and muddy shores, where it burrows just be- 
neath the surface. Sometimes it comes out and walks over the 
bottom, feeding on small animals which live in the mud. Its 
eggs are laid near high-water mark, usually at the time of the 
full moon, when the tides run unusually high, and at this time 
the horseshoes are gathered, to be used as manure on land, as 
food for hogs, chickens and ducks, and the eggs for food for 
trout, which are very fond of them.' The spawning takes place 
in May, June, July and August, and perhaps still earlier further 
to the south. - '

The Malcolm Rifle Telescope Manufacturing Co., Syracuse, N.

bullseye the size of a half dollar, and each of the 5 shots is a 
bullseye. It was made with a Rough Rider telescope mounted on 
a Stevens 12-inch .25-ca!iber pocket rifle. The Malcolm Rifle 
Telescope Manufacturing Co. will be pleased to send descriptive 
circular to applicanl.s. ^
