Bop' Dayl and Clubs* Days, 
, Nls* York, Jutie 20.— The old adage that "Every dog has his 
day kppli'es most esfieci'ally to guti^ clubs. 
Clubs may come_ and clubs may go, but sliooting goes on foir- 
eveh The Jersey Heights Gurt Club, so successful fot a setieS of 
yeairs, although a r'egulaHy incotpotat'ed cltib, with sotne twbiity 
od'd hiehibei-s in |;oo'd standiilg, is liow orily a rernlerribraiicfe, is 
th'ey rievei- mte'et &s A clUb; but maily thfe livihg iriembfers atfe 
doing good service with other clubs. 
The Fountain Gurt Club, which did sueh fedlli&tit woirlc at thfe 
New Yo.fk ^tatb shoot,^ scoopitig everytiilhg iii siglit, is i^^lfelir 
meiitiorifed, though, I believb tiiey do some work. 
TlVe Essex, renowned in the 4ays ol Geri. Hebet Brihtriall, DK 
Piildell, Frank Harrison arid otheirs, is riow but a memory. But 
olh'er and yoiinger clubs are coming to the frortt; among them 
we especially note the Wanderers. On its roll are sorrie of the 
best shots in the whole country. Such sportsrnen as Capt. A. W. 
Money, Edward Banks, Old Sotlth Paw, who since he found 
those big eye-glasses about the size of teacups, has dbtie ibirife 
phenomenal work slllaahifig etockety, thotjgh jyoijstkff 6i 
eolild wax ii;hi oii live bil-ds— you can jUst gaiiilDle. The Waiid- 
ei-ets, as tkcit eog&om'eri demonstrates, are iioniads. They have 
a riab'e, btit no habitation. They skip from club to club, wherever 
and whenever they find victims. They are decidedly cheeky and 
are ready at all times to burn powder. With sportsmen worthy 
of their steel (no pun intended), I predict for them a successful 
run, until their turn comes, and they will lie down with the rest. 
One of the members of the club has donated a valuable L, C. 
Smith gun, to be shot for by the club at eight shoots on eight 
different days, 25 targets per man, handicap allowance of misses

New Adveftisements* 
There «;eems to be nothing more essential in successful duck 
hunting than good decoys. "A bad outfit," as it is generally 
termed has had more to do with the disappointments incident to 
duck shooting tlian most any other cause. W. J. Mason, of 
456 llrooklyn avenue, Detroit, is noted for overcoming these dif- 
ficulties by making only cedar decoys, pamted the colorings 
they should be. Mr. Mason will not ship decoys that have not 
been properly tested in the water.
