The multitude of friends will be profoundly sympathetic on learn- 
ing that Mr. Harold Money met with a grievous accident last week 
on Tuesday while hunting ruflred grouse in northern Michigan. His 
companion, who was well to the right in the rear of Mr. Money, 
shot at a grouse flying high, but in the general direction in which 
Mr. Money was traveling, and a pellet, unaccountably deflected, 
struck Mr. Money on the inner corner of the left eye. The sight is 
impaired somewhat, but probably only temporarily from shock to 
the nerves. Mr. Money arrived in New York on Saturday last, 
and is having the injury treated by an oculist. 
Mr. Herbert Taylor, recently of St. Louis, Mo., has entered a 
broader field of business activity and responsibility in the business 
with which he has been so eminently and so successfully identified, 
for many }'ears past. He has accepted a position in the Sales De- 
partment of the Hazard and Dupont powder companies in the 
home oificej in Wilmington, Del. Mr. Taylor's ability as an agent 
in past years, and his profound kiiowledge of everj'thing pertaining 
to the manufacture, sale and use of powder, insure his success in 
iiis new and higher position. 
There will be an all-day target shoot at Interstate Park, L. I., on 
New Year's Day. Mr. John S. Wright has announced a target shoot 
for Christmas Day at Interstate Park, so that an active winter

Thanksgiving Day at Interstate Park all the trapshooting equipment 
will be in readiness to entertain those who wish to shoot at any time.

formed will hold a shoot on Thanksgiving Day, open to all.

giving Day to participate in the live-bird shooting to be held there.

Some members of society, deficient m honesty, recently broke into 
the Fulton Gun Club's house, near the Old Mill, Brooklyn, and stole 
score pads, targets, etc. At the club's recent shoot there was a 
dearth of targets and a consequent shortening of the programme.

their shoots at Cutwater's grounds, near Carlstadt, N. J., will hold 
no shoot next month. They rest in July and December of each

He Tried His New G«n, 
Pine Tslant), N. Y. — A few days ago George Hunter, a 
brakeman on the Pine Lsland Raih'oad, went out on the 
Wallkill River in a dugout canoe to try his new $100 
breechloading .shotgun on ducks. He saw a duck, and 
blazed away. The new gun kicked like a mule and upset 
the boat. Plunter disappeared beneath the water, but 
came up again within reach of the boat and seized hold of 
it. The gun disappeared, and stajj-ed there. The water 
was eight feet deep. Hunter floated about on the cap- 
sized dugout for an hour, and hallooed for help until he 
got hoarse. Then a man came along, got another boat, 
and rowed out and brought Mr. Hunter in. 
The next day Hunter went out in his dugout, with a 
garden rake, to fish for his new gun. After dragging the 
bottom for nearly half a day, he got a hold of the gun. 
When he fired his gttn off the day before both barrels 
were cocked, but only one went off. The hold Mr. 
Hunter got on the gun with the rake must have been 
on the trigger of the cocked barrel, for when the gun had 
been raised nearly to the surface, coming up butt first, 
there came a sullen rumble down below, and the next 
second the gun shot up out of the water like a skyrocket. 
It flashed by Mr. Hunter's face so close that it knocked 
his hat off. Mr. Hunter jerked back, and over went the 
boat. 
As on the day before, Hunter went under and came up 
close by the upturned boat and seized it again. The gun 
repeated its programme of disappearing and staying there, 
only this time it was accompanied by the rake. Mr. 
Hunter was compelled to exercise his lungs once more 
until he was towed ashore by a neighbor. Next day he 
hired a man to go out and fish for the gun and rake. 
The man got them both in fifteen minutes. Hunter says 
he don't know whether to sell his gun or get another kind 
of a boat, or whether he had better lock them both up 
and lose the key. The duck escaped. — New York Sun. 
PUBLISHERS' DEPARTMENT. 
Mr. J. H. Randolph, of the Leesburg (Fla.) Gun Club, though 
out of practice and shooting at targets thrown hard, scored 22 out of 
25 at a recent shoot of his club, using Peters ammunition. 
The extraordinary offer made by the Schmelzer Arms Co., of 
Kansas City, Mo., of 3,000 blackbird targets, one blackbird expert 
trap, and a silver trophy known as the Schmelzer loving cup for 
521 — little more than the" price of the cup — will undoubtedly attract 
the attention of many individuals and trapshooting clubs in the 
West and elsewhere. This house is one of the largest sporting and 
athletic goods houses in the world, and is widely known in the 
West and Southwest.
