Middlesex Sportsmen's Clufc. 
Middlesex, Mass. — In the recent series , of matches for team 
trapshooting supremacy, the Middlesex Sportsman's Club, of East 
Lexington, added one more to its long string of victories, by de- 
feating very decisively teams representing the Lowell, Harvard 
and Boston gun clubs. The series consisted of four matches, one 
on each of the different grounds, teams consisting of five men, 
50 targets each, thrown at unknown angles. Interstate rules gov- 
erning. At the finish the Middlesex Club led their nearest com- 
petitor by 49 targets — a big margin considering that each club 
was represented by its strongest shooters. 
In the last shoot the Middlesex Gun Club were somewhat handi- 
capped by the absence of Adams and Baxter, their regular mem- 
bers, but pulled through with a good score, with the aid of 
Marshall and Burnes as substitutes. 
Dr. E. F. Gleason won individual high average with a score of 
180 out of 200. Each member of the winning team was presented 
with a handsome cup. The scores were as follows:

Personally-Conducted Tour via Pennsylvania Railroad. 
The battlefield of Gettysburg, and the National Capital in all 
the glory of its spring freshness, are attractions so alluring that 
few would feel like refusing to visit them. It is to place these 
two attractions within easy reach of every one that the Pennsyl- 
vania Railroad Company announces a tour over the interesting 
battlefield, through the picturesque valleys of Maryland, and an 
entertaining stay at Washington. 
The tour will leave New York, West Twenty-third street, 7:55 
A. M., and Philadelphia 12:20 P. M., Saturday, May 27, in charge 
of one of the company's tourist agents, and will cover a period 
of six days. An experienced chaperon, whose especial charge will 
be unescorted ladies, will accompany the party throughout. Round- 
trip tickets, covering transportation, carriage drives, and hotel 
accommodations, will be sold at the extremely low rate of $22 
from New York, $21 from Trenton, $19 from Philadelphia, and 
proportionate rates from other points. 
For itineraries and full information apply to ticket agents; 
Tourist Agent, 263 Fifth avenue. New York; 342 Fulton street, 
Brooklyn; 7S9 Broad street, Newark, N. J.; or address Geo. W.

A Fish and Game Coorfry. 
As settlements increase in that West which used to be wild, 
game is driven back and hunting areas contract. But away to_ the 
north, in the British possessions, we all know that there is a 
country still wild, watered by rivers that are still unfished. More 
and more people are turning their faces toward the north land for 
the wild life. ' The Dominion Atlantic Railway line leads to a 
land where are moose, bears, ducks, woodcock, ruffed grouse, 
salmon and trout, and Mr. J. F. Masters will be glad to send 
information to any one interested in the northern country, as 
explained in the railway's advertisement on another page. 
Camp OtJtfils. 
Mr. T. C. Phelps, of 19 Washington street, Boston, Mass., 
manufactures many articles which are important to the comfort of 
the camper. Among these are tents and sleeping bags, as well 
as bags for carrying articles of one kind and another. Nothing is 
more important to him who journeys afoot than that he should 
carry easily the load which he must bear on his back. Shoulder 
straps and head straps must fit so as to bring the load in the 
right place. The proner and easy cooking of food is another 
thing that cannot be neglected, and cooking irons and bakers are 
specialties of Mr. Phelps. 
Fine Grocer 'es. 
Among grocers in the United States, scarcely any name is so 
well known as that of the Acker, Merrall & Condit Co., which 
comes down to us from generations ago. Among our readers 
are many who to-day purchase their groceries of this concern, as 
did their fathers and their grandfathers before them. This firm 
makes a specialty of delicacies put up compactly, fcTr trans- 
portation, and when one buys of them he knows that he is get- 
ting the best, for they deal m goods of only one quality. They 
deliver goods, freight prepaid, within 100 miles of any of their 
stores, which are m New York, Brooklyn, Baltimore, Newport, 
and rnany suburban towns about New York. 
Anglers* S 'pp'ics. 
The high grade anglers' specialties manufactured by Wyers 
Frei-es, of Redditch, England, have long been well known to 
British and Continental anglers, and should be so to Americans as 
well. They manufacture fish hooks, rods and tackle of all sorts, 
and issue a wonderful catalogue, the one for 1805 containing no 
less than 400 illustrations of up-to-date tackle. American anglers 
may profitably send for this, which wiU be mailed post free. It 
will give them many ideas,
