only recommend to and advise with the NaUonal Rifle 
Association The precedent has been established that the 
Palma is to be shot for by a team gotten up under the auspi- 
ces of the N R. A. I therefore decline to be bound by the 
action of the team, and I herewith lender my resignation.

May Flowers.- We acknowledge the receipt of a beau 
iful pyramid of May flowers (trailing arbutus) from a fair 
ady friend, E. B. F., of Plymouth, Mass. They are very 
we et. We hope the smiles of our fair friend may he always 
as propitious- 
( we wish the law could teach these persons common sense, 
if they do not already know that black bass are not now 
naturally or legitimately in season. We have been surprised 
to see so many reports , of correspondents who write as if 
their catching gravid fish were exploits. Black bass will not 
now he in seasfn before the first of June, whatever the law 
of different States may be, and June 1st is altogether too 
early, in our opinion. — E d. F. and S.l
