neither side made a goal in the time allotted to thia game, and 
the polo players were next being matched as follows : Reds— 
Harry Oelrichs, A. Belmont, Jr.; H. Austin. Blues— Her- 
mann Oelrichs, F. Griswold, B. Purdy. In the two matches 
the reds and the blues secured-thrce goals each. There was 
more foot-ball, with a goal and a South-down for Columbia,

played over again. The Ravenswood Lacrosse Club having 
secured two goals to the New Yorkers one, carried oil the 
silver cup.

is done. O’Leary goes to the Paris Exposition.

—“Time and tide wait for no man” la well known os a saying, and in 
onr case, so far as this chess department is concerned, of late courts of 
law and ashing would not wait, und in consequence, our readers have 
been more tban Indignant. On this account, wo shall try lo propitiate 
with an extract from the Westminster Papers for May. This should get 
us Into their good graces again : 
“The Forest and Stream Is giving a aeries of the chess openings 
translated from the Uandbuch, a very useful work, Indeed, and one for 
which Mr, Kunkle deserves the thanks of all English speaking ama- 
teurs."

Tuk Shooting Season.— Wo are iu receipt of lettors al- 
most every day containing most favorable reports of the pros- 
pects for tho corniug season’s sport. Tho increased vigilance 
of game protective associations has had its good results, and 
to this must ho added tho very favorable weather of au unusu- 
ally mild Winter. Wo shall expect lo chronlclo in our gaum 
columns next fall reports of uuifonnly good sport. 
Connecticut- ]f alerbury, May 14.— Wo will have good 
woodcock shooting hero this season. A gun club bus just 
been started here. if. y. 
Kentucky— Stanford, Mug 17.— Fluttering indications of 
a quail crop which will delight oven a greedy pot-hunter 
should nesting season prove favorablo. Cold weather ami 
high water bus pul a stop lo tho fishing. Kentuckian. 
North Carolina— LUenille, Mug 11.— No shooting hero 
now save for squirrels, which as mulberries and wheat ripen 
grow fat. From April 1 to October no game bird or wild 
turkey can he shot “according to law” iu this (Anson) 
county, and with no act of his lite is your correspondent more 
satisfied than that of originating the movement which led to 
the passage of the law. It has since been adopted by several 
counties. Yes, the hunting season is over, and Alto seems, 
by her wistful, longing look, as she lies there in her favorite 
corner, to know that possibly she uuil her master may not live 
to see another. Both aro growing old their host daj iro 
gone, aud when she dies none will be left like unto her. Sho 
never went to a “bench show," never took a “prize," but, 
even though she will not retrieve, aud will sometimes mush 
and chaw a bird, she can, even yet, hunt over more ground, 
hush fewer birds, aud stand more steadily aud magnificently 
on n “ point ” than any dog sho ever hunted with. When sho 
dies “Percy’s spur will grow cold," and that good old 13-gaugo 
muzzle-loader— which wouldn't he exchanged now for a cart- 
load of breechers — will bo honorably and decorously laid 
away and willed to tho owner’s oldest hoy I 10. it, A. 
One Way to Hunt Turkeys.— A correspondent in Hunt- 
ington, Tonn., contributes this reuiarkuhlo method of hunting 
wild turkeys, as given in Bigland's “ History of Birds, Fishes, 
Reptiles and InBecls 
“ The natives of America hunt wild turkeys with a dog, 
driving them to take shelter in a tree, where they sit quite 
spent and fatigued until tho hunter comes up with a long polo 
and knocks them down one after another." 
Ohio— H udson . — Woodcock aro very plenty this season, 
moro bo than usual. E. XJ. B. 
Illinois — Charleston, Mag 10. — Ducks arc scarcer on tho 
prairies this spring than I have ever seen thorn before. Hnipo 
and brant in moderate numbers. The geeso, plover and wood- 
cock and jacksuipo very scarce. Rabbits by tlie thousand. 
The game iu the timber is plentier than I have seen It for 
several years— such us quail, ruffed grouse, turkey aud squir- 
rel. There is a stray doer to be seen occasionally. Joseph 
Waldrupe killed tho last one ; it weighed 1801 bs , and was 
about two years old. j. ]}. D. 
—Mr. Goodcuough, of Manistee, Mich., has during tho 
spring trapped and killed flve full-grown hears. And it has 
been a poor season for hours too. 
Utah — Salt hike dig, Mag 8. — Our game law has been 
amended to allow the killing of quail or grouse from Aug 15 
to March 15 ; wild ducks, otter or heaver from November to 
April, and elk, deer, mountain sheep or antelope from Aug. 1 
to January. The old law prohibited killing grouse boForo 
Sept. 15. Pinnated grouse are very abundant, and so are 
geese and ducks, staying here the year round. They aro 
killed in great numbers at the mouth of Bear River and Utah 
Lake. C. 8. U. 
California — Folsom, Mug 0. — We httVO hud no Bnipo shoot- 
ing this spring, although I liuve heuref of some good hugs he- 
ing made on the borders of the overflowed lands near Sucru- 
mento. Gloss balls are now the rage. Doves will be largo 
enough to shoot ubout the middle ot June; they usually give 
us good sport with little exertion. Much running would bo 
almost impossible with the mercury high in the nineties. Our 
style of shooting doves is for three or four to take a team, 
about 0 p. m., aud drive out three or four miles to some point 
where tho birds are passing from their feeding grounds to 
lo their roosting places, with ten or twenty pounds of ice ' 
and a bucket of water, three or four bottles of claret or 
“ Budweiser take a stand and go to shooting, the birds 
passing in such numbers that you can use fifty to seventy-live 
shells in a couple of hours. They lly quite as rupidly as a 
teal duck, so that it takes a good shot to make a respectable 
bag. W. F. J. 
A California Market 8iiootbb —Mr. L. W. Smith, a 
resident of Merced, Merced County, Cal., shows the follow- 
ing as tho result of the past season's shooting : Mr. Smith 
killed with a No. 4 gauge gun, weighing 22 pounds, between 
Sept. 15, 1877, and April 21, 1878, (5,380 geese, 5,956 ducks, 
367 sand hill crane, und 60 swan, lie is a regular gunner, 
whose business it is to shoot for the Sacramento market. 
Captain Booardus. — We had the pleasure of a visit from 
Cuptain Bogurdus. On Suturday the captain will Bboot at 
Binghamton, N. Y. On the 30th Captain Bogardus and 
Eugene will leave in the City of Montreal for England. The 
great event which calls the American champion to England 
is to meet Mr. Pennell in the mutch for £400, to be shot some- 
time toward the close of June. The 1,000 glass boll matches 
aguiust time will be repeated by tho champion in London, 
Liverpool and Paris.
