worth the candle.” Still we can fully appreciate the real respect 
a conservative sportsman cau have for his good old gun, with 
which he has passed so many a happy hour. It would break 
his heart to think that his line barrels should know his hand 
no more, and he is glad and willing to have his gun made 
over, and looks on his old gun, if satisfactory work is done, as 
a patriotic sailor would look on the frigate Constitution, which 
has been re-built from stem to stern a dozen times. 
In Baltimore, we purposely spent an hour or more with 
Messrs. Clark <fc Snyder, looking over their work. We went 
to be informed, to be thoroughly posted, as to the character 
of the alterations they make ; and we are fully satisfied that 
this house displays the most extraordinary skill for this special 
branch of work. Wo had never seen their altered guns, 
though familiar with the excellent guns made by them. We 
must declare that one of their altered gnus does not really 
show auy marks of change. By some process of their own, 
the very glaze of the skin on the barrel at the breech is un- 
altered, showing no effects of heat, and the fittings are abso- 
lutely true. It must be quite ns difficult, and just as much 
of a job to alter a gun as to make a new one. A new breech, 
hammers, fire end, rebounding locks, engraving, re-chamber- 
ing, brasing, soldering, wood work, lugs, etc., have all to be 
made uew and fitted. An old guu has to be changed into a 
new one, and no patching must be visible. For the price, 
$75, for such alteration in a guu, which is what Messrs. Clark 
Sueider are paid, this is not a penny too much. It is not a 
swap like Aladdin's lamp, a new one for an old one, for you get 
your old gun back again with all the modern improvements, aud 
thus the rejuvenating of an old friend must bring back with it 
a thousand pleasures. Now we hear agreat deal about Express 
rifles. At Messrs. Clark & Sneider’s, we saw an Express rifle 
weighing some nine pounds, .45 calibre, which was just 
as perfect in every way as the finest work turned out by 
any crack English manufacturer. There was also shown 
to us a novel ritle, with a patent breech, which was excellent of 
its kind. At present, however, it is with the alteration from 
muzzle loaders to breech loaders that we have to do, and 
without any solicitation on the part of Messrs. Clark & Sneider 
we are quite willing to state that the work of alteration made 
by them is of the most superior kind, and that we were sur- 
prised ourselves at the fine character of their work. As to 
their guns, made out and out by them, their arms rank amon 
the leading ones in the country.

The Coaching Club Drive.— The ride of the New York 
Coaching Club to Philadelphia and return may be recorded 
09 one of the notable events in American omutcur coaching 
aunals. From its start, leaving the Hotel Brunswick at (138 
Saturday morning till its urriyal in Philadelphia, the 
famous “ Tally-IIo " and its twelve passengers made a tri- 
umphal progress. The whole trip was a continual ovation. 
The streets of the cities and towns were thronged with multi- 
tudes of enthusiastic people who cheered aud waved their 
handkerchiefs as if the coach bore a conquering general. The 
road through the country was lined with spectators, and in 
many instances during the drive the progress of the coach 
was materially hindered by the hosts of sight seers. The 
return was made with the same eclat. The riders were Messrs. 
Delancey Kane, Belmont, Parker, Bronson, Huger*, Fiitsch, 
Wetmore, Neilson, Rives, Nicholson, Kane, Fearing and 
Havcmeyer. The distance was ninety-five miles, and there 
were nine relays of horses.
