PUBLISHERS' DEPARTMENT. 
There is a constant and increasing demand among owners of 
large places in this country for birds and animals to stock their 
places. Many people want to restock with native varieties; others 
do not care what animals they introduce. The beautiful pheasants 
from Asia are favorites among ornamental birds. People inter- 
ested in these matters would do well to write to Cross, the 
Menagerie, Liverpool, England, who, as shown by his advertise- 
ment elsewhere, is in a position to supply almost anything in the 
line of birds or mammals.

Rifle Notes. 
After touring the Adirondack region, giving exhibitions of 
marvelous skill with the rifle, Mr. and Mrs. Frank E. Butler (Annie 
Oakley) are now sojourning in Maine. We acknowledge with 
thanks the receipt of an invitation to witness an exhibition shoot 
at Bangor, Me., on Aug. 26. Concerning Annie Oakley’s wonder- 
ful skill as exhibited on this tour, the Portland Daily Advertiser 
states: “In regard to her shooting abilities some idea of her 
wonderful work can be entertained when the fact is known that 
to drive tacks with bullets, clip the ends from postage stafnps at 
a considerable distance, cut a thread with a bullet and to put a 
hole ill a coin thrown high in the air are feats that she accom- 
plishes with ease. When in vaudeville with her husband, it was 
part of the act, and neither of them calls it dangerous, to stand 
opposite him and shoot a peanut from the top of his head. ‘It 
was even more spectacular,’ Miss Oakley observed, ‘to shoot an 
apple from his head and much easier of course. My husband on 
more than one occasion, laughingly remarked that it was an easy 
way to have his hair parted.’ ”

The Cumberland (B. C.) News, of recent date, recounts that the 
local gun club has suffered from the vandalism of certain 
marauders who break locks and otlier parts of the club property, 
besides disarranging the mechanism of the traps so that they work 
badly, all of which denotes that the higher civilization has reached 
British Columbia.

At the shoot of the Chicago Trapshooters’ Association, Aug. 17- 
19, Mr. W. R. Crosby missed 6 targets out of the 600 shot at in 
the three days, which is below his usual good form. He made a 
run of 214, which is trifling, compared to some of his recent 
prior performances. However, there is no doubt but what this 
redoubtable shotgun artist could settle the war between Russia 
and Japan, single-handed, if placed on the firing line.
