Gillman Toutnament* 
GiLLMAN, 111. — ^During the winter months there is usually more 
trapshooting throughout central Illinois than during the summer 
and the opening guns were fired at Gillman, Oct. 7. 
A very short notice was given of a one-day's shoot, and only the 
surrounding towns turned out. with the exception of one repre- 
sentative from the Windy City. The neighboring towns of Piper 
City, Askum and Watseka were well represented. 
A feature of the shoot was a team contest. This caused at 
least five men to come from. Askum and Piper City, and this 
helped swell the entries for the day. 
The writer has often had it brought to his notice that there is 
nothing that keeps up the interest in shooting as much as a team 
contest. Every town gets interested in their club, much more 
than as individuals. 
The, day was fine, and as the traps worked nicely, the shooting 
was mtich enjoyed by all, save possibly the men who made the 
lowest scores. 
Piper City came to the front, both collectively and individually, 
as Mr. Harris was high man for the day. 
Team shoot. Conditions, five men, entrance $10, 20 targets to the 
man, money 60 and 40 per cent. 
Piper City team— Fortier 14, Harris 18, Ferris 17, Weels 16, 
Westerhouse 16; total 81. 
Gillman team— Frisby 16, Heise 18, Peck 12, Reitz 19, Humphrey

Peters Gun CIttb Towrnament* 
New Paris, O., Oct. 10.— The Peters Gun Club, of this place, 
gave their annual tournament yesterday at the shooting park east 
of town. The weather was all that could be expected, not even a 
breeze interfering. 
The attendance in the forenoon was rather small, but during the 
afternoon the crowd began to gather until the grounds were liter- 
ally covered with shooters and spectators. 
The programme was not carried out, as it had been intended, on 
account of the small number of shooters to enter at the beginning, 
but all seemed to enjoy themselves, and expressed themselves as 
being glad that they came. The principal interest of the day 
centered on the trophy event — which was won in the shoot-off by 
Ed. French, of Richmond, Ind., and a special 50-bird team event 
between Heikes and Ideal, Fort and Kirby, and J. E. Reid and 
Snakes, the match being won by Heikes and Ideal with a total 
score of 90. The other two teams scored 88 and 86 respectively. 
The next regular monthly shoot will be held on the same grounds 
on the second Saturday of November. The scores follow:

silver-handled umbrella, presented to the club by our genial vice-

seems to some to be more satisfactory than distance handicap. 
Mr. Dijnmick shot at the traps for the first time to-day, consider- 
mg which fact he did remarkably well. Coleman came .down fror 
Sullivan county at 2 o'clock with a nice string of game, but h 
couldn't stay away from the clay bird game, and came within on!

One-half cent was taken from the price of each bird to mafci 
up a sweep, two moneys. Coleman got first, Blandford second.

H. M. A., Boston. — Will you settle a question in dispute that is 
left to your decision. It is over the American game bird com-: 
monly known as partridge, and the bird more technically knoww 
as ruffed grouse. Are they one and the same bird, or are they two 
distinct types? I do not mean to use the term partridge" as it 
may be used in any one locality, but as it is used generally, 
throughout the United States and Canada. Is it correctly used 
to denote the ruffed grouse? Ans. There is no American bird 
commonly known as partridge throughout the United States. In 
New England and parts of Canada the ruffed grouse is commonly 
termed partridge, but in the mountains of the Southern States^ 
and in Minnesota, the sam.e bird is called pheasant. Neither terra 
is correct, for the bird is a grouse. On the other hand the par- 
tridge of the Southern States is known in New York and New 
England as quail. It is not a true partridge, but is very near the, 
true partridges, and belongs to the sub-family Perdicinm. Thus two 
widely distinct gallinaceous game birds in America are locally 
called partridge. A Southerner, speaking of the partridge, would be 
talking of a type of bird distinct from that intended by a New 
Englander who spoke of a ijartridge. Of course the common; 
English names of many American birds were given them by the 
early English settlers of this country, who named various birds 
robin, blackbird, partridge and so on because the birds theyj 
saw here seemed to them to resemble the Old World birds called 
by these names. But the American partridge (quail) is different 
from the English partridge. The American robin (thrush) is dif- 
ferent from the European robin redbreast, and the American 
blackbird (starling) is very different from the English blackbird 
(thrush).

Some Good Advice. 
In one of the leading magazines a distinguished physician ad-i 
vises that wool should be worn next to the skin the year around' 
in our climate; light in summer, heavy in winter. 
This is good advice; and if care is taken to see that the woolens 
are absolutely pure and porous, as in the well-known goods oil 
Jaeger manufacture, one can be sure of comfort as well as healtbi 
from acting upon it. 
The Long Island shore has always been a great place for th< 
building of boats and yachts, and it remains so to-day, even thougli 
ship and boat building yards dot the coast nowadays from the 
mouth of the Chesapeake to Casco Bay. Among the builders oi 
auxiliary and cruising yachts are S. C. Wicks & Co., of Patchogue,', 
N. Y., who can be communicated with by letter or telephone. 
The South Bay Scooter is a modern vessel evolved in Great SoutB 
Bay, Long Island, where it has proved itself useful to duck shoot' 
ers and others. It may be defined as a sneakboat on runners, and 
is especially handy in shoal waters and in winter weather. Mr.' 
Henry B. Watkins, of Bellport, L. I., is a specialist in the con-, 
struction of these boats. 
Winter is the time for yacht building, and those vs-ho are goingi 
into yachting, or are about to build new vessels, are lookinj 
around now for builders and designers. Mr. Thomas F. Muncy 
of Bay Shore, L. I., can furnish designs, or will build from thost 
furnished hirn, for the best trade only. 
Mr. L. B. Fleming won high average for the two-days' com
