FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Sept. 17, 1904. 
rowed one, which was the cause of his dropping below his av- 
erage shooting.. 
Only one club member got into the prizes, Le Noir, who won 
the Carleton reel. We hope Fred will have as good luck using 
it as he did in winning it. 
The way.Harley Keyes smashed 19 out of 20 with his little 16- 
gauge was a caution. Harley says the 16 is good enough for him. 
Everybody says, when speaking of the tournament, that "it 
was the finest yet." Misfire. 
A nicer afternoon for trapshooting was never made than on 
Sept. 10, when some twenty-five shooters gathered on the grounds 
of the Springfield Shooting Club to participate in the practice 
shoot and meet Mr. L A. R. Elliott, who was the guest of the 
club. Mr. Elliott gave a very nice exhibition of shooting, break- 
mg 117 out of 125 targets shot at, an average of 93 3-5 per cent. 
Some good scores were put up by club members. The Somer- 
yille, Conn., Club sent up several shooters. As Mr. Elliott was 
in a hurry to catch a train home, he shot in each squad in each 
event, which used his shells up very quickly, leaving him a little 
time to visit with the boys. Scores follow:

DuBois Tournament. 
DuBois, Pa., Sept. 3.— The fall tournament given by the Du- 
Bois, Pennsylvania, Gun Club, on Sept. 1 and 2, was one of the 
most successful shoots held in Western Pennsylvania this year. 
Everybody present seemed to enjoy themselves, and everything 
went along very smoothly. The spectators were on hand in good 
numbers, and among them were a few leadies who seemed very 
much interested in the shoot. Forty-eight shooters took part the 
first day, of which thirty-two shot the programme through, which 
called for 200 targets, but was cut down to 175, on account of 
darkness. J. A. R. Elliott was high gun the first day with 170 
out of 175. W. H. Heer was close up with 168. E. D. Fulford 
was tied with Mr. Millen, of the DuBois Gun Club, each getting 
a third place with 165. Fourth place went to A. Sizer, of Kane, 
Pa., and L. B. Fleming, of Pittsburg, Pa. 
On the second day the attendance fell off a little. Still, thirty- 
three shooters took part, of which twenty-six shot through the 
programme. E. D. Fulford was high gun on the second day 
with 194 out of 200. J. A. R. Elliott and W. H. Heer tied for 
second place, oijly losing one more target and finishing with 193 
each. Third place went to C. W. Hart, of Buffalo, N. Y., with 
189. Fourth place went to A. Sizer with 187. 
General average for the two days, at 375 targets, resulted as 
follows: J. A. R. Elliott, first, with 363; W. H. Heer, second, 
with 361; E. D. Fulford, third, with 359; Mr. Millen, fourth, with 
349. J. A. R. Elliott made a run of 136 on the second day. Mr. 
Millen won the amateur average for the two days. 
The trade was represented by L. J. Squier, W. H. Heer, E. D. 
Fulford, H. C. Watson, J. A. R. Elliott and H. P. Fessenden.

St. Albans Gun Club. 
St. Albans, Vt, Sept. 9.— Through the efforts of Mr. A. S. 
Head, a brother of U. M. C. Head, this town can boast of having 
the only live gun club in this part of Vermont. 
The officers of the St. Albans Gun Club are: B. <B. Perkins, 
President; E. O. Barrett, Vice-President; A. S. Head, Sec- 
retary-Treasurer. 
They were booked for a large tournament on Labor Day, but a 
steady, heavy downpour of rain kept the attendance down to a 
few waterproof old sports, who lined up in the afternoon for a 
few events. Sargent system of traps was used. Below are the

H. N. T., Philadelphia. — Have you any means of ascertaining 
the correct spelling of the name of the well-known tribe of Cana- 
dian Indians, pronounced "Mic-mac"? I have seen it spelled in this 
way, but the Encyclopedia Britannica is authority for "Mik-mak." 
Can you or my of your readers enlighten me on this point? Ans. 
The word may be spelled either way, but in this country the better 
usage is Mic-mac. This is the spelling given in the Century 
Dictionary, and is also the one adopted by the Bureau of Eth- 
nology, and writers generally on this tribe. 
PUBLISHERS' DEPARTMENT. 
Northern Maine's Big-Game Wealth. 
Latest Reports Tell of Moose and Deer in Abundance in the 
Great Forests of Aroostook. 
With the approach of the fall hunting season in Maine come 
numerous reports from the northern section of the State regarding 
the abundance of large game to be met with. Through the sum- 
mer months the presence of deer in and about the clearings has 
been of almost daily occurrence in many districts, and in several 
instances handsome great moose have been seen far south of 
their usual haunts, at least one family, a big bull, cow and calf, 
being seen only a short distance north of Bangor. Latest reports 
tell of plenty of big game in practically all parts of northern 
Maine, so there is plenty of sport ahead for the hunters who are 
planning to lake a few weeks off in October, or a little later, and 
demonstrate their skill with the rifle in the de.pths of the Maine 
woods. 
The fact that the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad has pushed its 
four hundred miles and more of steel pathway far into the favor- 
ite haunts of Maine's big game makes it easy for visiting sports- 
men to ride in the height of comfort to the very station of their 
choice. Then one is in closest touch with the game itself, and 
whether he carries home a handsome trophy or not depends on 
his own skill and prowess as a hunter; surely the game is there, 
and in abundance. 
In order that sportsmen may become more familiar with the 
manifold attractions of an outing in the Maine woods, the Pas- 
senger Department of the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad has issued 
a 180-page guide book, entitled "In the Maine Woods," which 
is sent to any address by C. C. Brown, G. P. & T. A., Bangor, 
Me., on receipt of ten cents to pay postage. This book is beauti- 
fully_ illustrated, with over a hundred half-tone cuts depicting 
hunting, fishing, canoeing, camp life and rare scenic effects in 
the immense playground of which it treats, has two full-page 
colored inserts, and is replete from cover to cover with just such 
information as the sportsman is most in need of and most anxious 
to know before making a trip to the Maine forests. 
Proctor's Twenty-third Street Theatre is not being ignored in the 
feast of good things which are being spread before the patrons 
of the other houses. For the week of Sept. 12 two noted foreign 
specialty acts head the programme in Tony Wilson and Heloise 
and Miss Annie Wilson's sister. In addition, there are James J. 
Corbett, the former boxing champion, who has developed into a 
capital monologist; Frankie Bailey and Gertrude Moyer, of the 
old Weber & Fields Co.; George Friend & Co., Paul Spadoni, and 
fifteen others. In short order appear Delmore arid Lee, the 
gymnastic sensation of Europe; Miss "She," in her wonderfully 
beautiful spectacular dances, "The Four Elements"; Marshall P. 
Wilder, the famous humorist, who commences on the Proctor 
circuit an artistic tour of the world; May Robson & Co., Herr- 
mann the Great; Ross and Fenton, the famous travestyists ; Gus- 
tave Kirker's operetta, "Very Much Grand Opera"; Mabel Mc- 
Kinley, and practically every artist of importance in America and 
Europe. One recent improvement at the Twenty-third Street 
Theatre was the replacing of the old plush-covered seats in the 
orchestra and balcony with the latest pattern of the theatre seats, 
upholstered in leather. The substitution was made without in- 
terfering in any way with a single performance. 
World's Fair Scenic Route. 
Because of its magnificent mountain, river and canon scenery, 
its famous battlefields, and points of interest, and because of its 
superior equipment and physical condition, providing all the com- 
forts and safeguards of twentieth century travel, the Chesapeake 
& Ohio is unquestionably the most attractive route between the 
Atlantic Seaboard and the Mississippi Valley. World's Fair and 
through tickets by this route allow stop-over at Virginia Hot 
Springs and Greenbrier White Sulphur, the two most fashionable 
and famous mountain resorts in the country. Solid trains Wash- 
ington to St. Louis, with New York connection via Pennsylvania 
Railroad. — Adv.

M ULLERITF 
A ML The Perfected Bulk MfmHtf 
SMOKELESS. 
Gives Highest Velocities and Closest Patterns. 
Load for load with other powders, either bulk or dense, Mullerite will be found to give higher 
velocities and closer patterns. This is owing to its progressive combustion up the barrel, similar 
in action to black powder. Consequently there is no heavy chamber pressure with Mullerite. 
Owing to this advantage lighter loads of flullerite can be used with superior results to heavier 
loads of any other powders. The following loads are recommended: Field shooting — 2% drams, 
1-IJ/boz.; 3 drams, 1^-1 %oz. Clay bird shooting — 38 grains, l%oz.; heavy load for distance 
handicaps, 40 grains, l%oz. Duck or pigeon shooting— 3>s-3% drams, l%oz.; special heavy 
loads, 44 grains, l%oz. 
Mullerite Loaded Shells can be obtained of all cartridge companies or the 
Sole U. S. Agents, .
