step which should have been taken years ago, >t 1 b to be 
hoped that a strict observance of the law will soon bring up 
the supply to what it was in ante-bellum days. Encouraged 
by the protection thus afforded, and influenced by 8enator 
Butler, Prof. Baird has determined to send several thousand 
shad for the streams in South Carolina. The fish wdl likely 
be planted in the Savannah, Broad and Catawba rivers, and 
the streams tributary to these in South Carolina. 
Pboteotion Needed in Georgia. -There is urgcntWl of 
a general State game and fish protective law iu Georgia. In 
some counties the local laws are doing much good, but in 
many localities the shooting of game at aU seasons, trapping 
of quail, indiscriminate use of strychnine, and other practices 
equally reprehensible, are effecting an unwarranted diminu- 
tion of game. The readers of this journal in that State should 
now have an intelligent conception of the need of legislative 
action, and we urge upon them the desirability of moving in 
the matter at once.

Saratoga.— In regard to' the difference existing between 
the Saratoga and Milwaukee teams in their recent telegraphic 
match, the secretary of the Saratoga Club writes us as fol- 
lows: 
“ The whole club to shoot at both ranges and take the four 
highest at each range as a total. The match to be shot strictly 
under Creedmoor rules, with Creedmoor Regulation Rifles. 
Conditions under which the challenge was accepted were that 
we were to shoot not to exceed eight men at each range, and 
in order so to do we were obliged to use guns which another 
had shot, as we only had four Creedmoor rifles in the club. 
These conditions were accepted by them, provided we shot 
the guns that two men shot once in the a. m. match and once 
in the p. M- match, which was carried out to the very letter. 
Our reasons for shooting eight men at each range instead of 
the whole club is that we did not have over eight or ten mem- 
bers who would shoot any way.
