worked down on the other side, finally discovering an 
old lumber clearing of about half an acre in extent, on 
the banks of the stream, which widened out here into a 
small lake. We proceeded to run the canoes down 
through the rift, and pulled them ashore in a corner of 
the lake just below it where we could hear the rush of 
the water all night long. Just before commencing to 
pitch camp, Carl caught the largest trout so far, weigh- 
ing three-quarters of a pound. We found great quanti- 
ties of old dry hemlock bark left by the lumbermen, 
which made excellent fuel for the camp-fire, and we 
got ample spruce boughs for our beds. The party took 
things comfortably and cooked a delicious meal, after 
which Chas. O. went out in his canoe alone for half 
an hour, coming back in ghostly fashion after dark. 
H. N. T. tried a half hour's fishing in the rapids along- 
side the camp, and then all hands turned in, Louis rol- 
ling himself up in his blanket, with his stocking feet to 
the fire. The weather all day had been very fine, a 
little warm at noon, but not uncomfortable, and cool by 
evening.

Advocating Telescope Sights. 
There is a movement on foot to secure the sanction of all the 
large shooting clubs in and about New York city, in the u«e, 
without restrictions, of telescope sights in all of the important 
club shoots and tournaments at 200yds. At the present time 
most of the German-American shooting societies are still holding 
out against magnifying sights, but influence and the force of 
practical arguments are being brought to bear, and it is likely all. 
bars will be removed before next year's outdoor shooting season 
opens, if not during the present season. The younger members 
see and appreciate the value of telescope sights, and their in- 
fluence will' win the old fellows over in time, they confidently as- 
sert. Meanwhile, riflemen are ordering and practicing with 
telescope sights more than ever before.
