League this first year of its organization, and all our members 
fully appreciate what has been done. 
We are always glad to see the professional shooter, let him 
come from where he may. We know he has a great big heart, 
and, with him, it never fails to be in the right place. Come again, 
boys, you haven't injured our tournaments, but, on the con- 
trary, always have inspired and stimulated by your good shoot- 
ing, good jokes and good appetites. We are always glad to see 
you.

Fulford Memorial Fund. 
Wilmington, Del., Dec. 1.— Owing to the . great number of 
friends of the late E. D. Fulford, who would like to make con- 
tributions to the Fulford Memorial Fund, and who perhaps would 
not be able to give as much as some others, and not wanting 
their names to appear alongside of those of others who have con- 
tributed larger amounts, the committee in charge, of this fund 
has asked me to hereafter not publish the amounts given by 
each one, but to simply furnish the names and the total amount, 
and to keep the amount of the individual donations for the in- 
formation of the committee only. 
I think this a very good idea, and since my last report of sub- 
scriptions under date of Nov. 4, when the total aggregated $80, I 
have received $94, making the total to date $174, the subscribers 
being as follows: Seneca G. Lewis, Sim Glover, Geo. L. Piercy, 
A. C. Barrell, E. H. Tripp, T. A. Marshall, H. McMurchy, L. H. 
Schortemeier, C. L. Kites, H. D. Kirkover, W. H. Heer, John 
S. Sanders, Everett Smith, Edw. Reinecke, Texas Field and 
Sportsman, Sportsmen's Review Pub. Co., Buffalo Audubon Gun 
Club. 
Since this fund will be held open by me only until Feb. 1, I 
hope those who intend to subscribe will kindly send their con- 
tributions at the earliest possible date. Jas. T. Skelly.

Notes. 
Dr. Campbell and Jos. Haines, of Greenville, have been hunting 
in northern Minnesota. They returned home, bringing four moose 
and several deer. The moose were killed in seven days. 
Charlie Becker, of Dayton, proposes to hold an all-day turkey 
shoot at Englewood on Dec. 20. Rifles and shotguns will be user]. 
The first half of the match between H. Oswald, of the Rohrer'a 
Island Gun Club, and Wm. I. Spangler, of the Welfare Gun Club, 
was to have been shot on the latter's grounds, Dec. 3; but as Mr. 
Oswald is hunting in Mercer county, it was postponed. The last 
half of the match is scheduled to be shot on the Rohrer's Isund 
grounds on Dec. 17. The match is the result of the challenge re- 
cently issued by Mr. Oswald, which was accepted promptly by 
Mr. Spangler. The conditions are 200 targets, 16yds. rise, $100 a 
side. Both men are good shots and have many friends in their 
respective clubs, who will back their favorite with cash. 
A new club is the Champaign Hunting and Fishing Club, which 
has just been organized at Urbana, O. 
Sportsmen of Anglaize county are raising a fund for the purpose 
of buying and sowing a large quantity of wild rice around St. 
Mary's reservoir. The reservoir is a favorite place for ducks and 
geese, but they always leave before daylight. The idea is to pro- 
vide plenty of good feed, as well as shelter, so that the birds may 
stop for a while. 
Osslning Gun Club. 
Ossining, Dec. 3. — The appended scores were made to-day at 
one of our regular bi-monthly shoots. Events 2 and 3, at 25 clay 
birds each, distance handicaps, for two prizes donated by Wm. 
H. Coleman. The first, a cake dish, was won by E. F. Ball, after 
winning by the toss of a coin from Blandford, who tied with him 
from 20yds. The second prize was won by J. T. Hyland, with 
16 from 16yds. This prize was a fancy clock. The birds were 
fast and the light bad. 
The team of this club, ten men, go to Poughkeepsie on the 
8:54, Saturday, 10th inst., for a team match. 
E. T. Ball made 21 from 19yds., which was fine work.
