like a trivial bun. Think of it 1 We have seen ourselves a 
man, a human being, skin a quail and boil a woodcock in the 
field, because he knew no belter. The only thing wc are 
afraid of is that Miss Corson will have her hands full. Ques- 
tions may be asked her as to how a beaver tail is to be cooked, 
how a saddle of Rocky Mountain sheep Ms to be roasted, or 
how an owl can be turned into a spring chicken, and many 
other incomprehensible things. We are certain, however, 
that the Superintendent of the New York Cooking School 
will be quite equal to the task: 
Nsw York, May 23, ISIS.

CREEDMOOR SPRING MEETING. 
GAME PROTECTION. 
Thursday, May 23.— With good weather, a well arranged 
programme, with the finest range probably iu the world, with 
everything which could be done to render this leading rifle 
event of the N. R. A. conspicuous, wb are forced to stale that, 
as far as spectators wont, these were remarkably few in num- 
bers on the first day. General Woodward was early on the 
ground, assisted by Colonel Scott, range officer, and by Capt. 
Story, tbe statistical officer. It was some quarter after ten 
when the booming of the second gun annouuced the opening 
of the spring meeting, with the contest for the Leech cup . 
This cup, presented by Major Leech, is among the finest of 
the rifle trophies, and presented in 1875, has been won so far 
by Colonel Bodiue in 1875, with 205; by Colonel Gilder- 
sleeve in 187(1, with 204; and In 1877 by Major Jewell, with 
the brilliant score of 213. It fell yesterday to the skill of Mr. 
Hyde, with the very good scose of 205. The following are 
the best scores ;
