Sunday, June 23 — Sunday was grand gala day, devoted to 
the coronation of the King. This honor fell to Mr. William 
Farrow, who made 1,049 out of a possible 1,800. Mr. Wm. 
Hayes, of Newark, had made the same score in 600 shots, 
but, having been crowned last year, gracefully gave up the 
place to Mr. Farrow. Mr. Farrow is a Maine man, and is 
well known for his skill with the Ballard ride, and is a mem- 
ber of the Zettler Club. The ceremony of making the King 
was charmingly managed, little Miss Anna Ermisch making 
an appropriate speech. Around the neck of the King was 
placed the scarf of honor. It is quite probable that Mr. Far- 
row will go abroad and contest for the palm of victory in the 
great German rifle contests. For descriptions of the team 
for the Forest and Stream and Rod and Gun Medal 6ee

The Kino of the Sohuetzenfest.— Mr. William Farrow, 
the King of the Schuetzenfest, leaves on Saturday next for 
England and the continent. Sir Henry Halford has entered 
Mr. Farrow for various matches at Wimbledon, and, being a 
member of the Bund here, he will have the privilege of shoot- 
ing at all the matches at thogreat Schuetzen Bund, to be held 
at Dusseldorf on the 20tli of July. We should not bo sur- 
prised if Mr. Farrow would be king both in Germany and 
America. Our American king takes with him in lieu of scep- 
tres some half dozen republican Ballards. Mr. Farrow says 
that 1,049, made by him for his king score, has never yet been 
beaten. No better representative American rifleman could be 
sent abroad than Mr. Farrow, for to his great skill ho unites 
a singularly modest and unassuming manner. The king goes

abroad with the best wishes of all his American and German 
subjects. 
Boston, June 20.— There wa9 a large concourse of people 
to witness the “Shot-Gun Match.” at 800, 900 and 1,000 
yards. Mr. Jackson was the winner. His score has been 
a very strong one, and he has secured the much coveted gun. 
Hie record of 213, 212, 218 iu three consecutive trials, makes 
an average of 214.66. The following is the score :

Mbdal of the Stock Exchange Club.— It is natural that 
Broad street should do things iu the most superb way. 
Accordingly, Mr. C. J. Osborne has offered a magnificent 
medal to be shot for by N. Y. S. E. R. G. It is a Creed- 
moor square target of gold, surrounded with a wreath of 
laurel. There is a rising sua iu gold, and the inscription 
above is Osborne Medal, and below, Creedmoor. The 
Messrs. Tiffuny designed aud executed the medal. The in- 
tention of the donor is that it be awarded to tin best shot at 
300 and 500 yards distance, in three competitions, at Creed- 
moor. 
Morkisania Sohutzen Yersin.— This club, of which John 
Eichler, Esq., is President, aud Mr. Charles Geib, Secretary, 
is of quite recent formation, having only been organized 
during the last three months. Not having joined the regular 
organization, they had, however, presented a handsome 
prize to be shot for at Union Hill. Captain Aery gave them 
permission to shoot at the target of honor, which courtesy 
they declined. In a very pleasant speech the President of 
the shooters’ association congratulated them on their fine ap- 
pearance, and expressed the belief that the Morrisama 
Schutzen Corps would soon take rank among the leading 
rifle clubs in the United States. Mr. A. G. Genez, the 
well-known manufacturer of arms in Chambers street, is 
the shooting master, and showed his skill by winning a 
handsome prize, os did Mr. Julius Brenner. 
The Zettler Club.— T his club was organized in 1874. 
It has gained the pre-eminent position of being the strongest 
German rifle club as to team shooting in the United States. Such 
skill os they have attained is due to hard and persistent work. 
At Zettler’s gallery shooting is going on almost all the time. 
The club is quite prepared to turn out a team of 25 men. At 
200 yards we are pretty certain, with slight practice they could 
hold their own with any team at Creedmoor. Gallery prac- 
tice with the Zettler club is a sine qua non. It is there that 
they have acquired their skill. There can be nothing like 
chance in a team which witliiu six months won the first 
irizes when opposed to tho best American and German te&niH

Maryland — Elkton , June 19.— Woodcock are abundant. 
Occasional. 
Tennessee— Nashville, June 28.— In addition to the fishing 
there are many parts or this State where there is still an 
abundant supply of large game. In tho winter time water 
fowl are found in abundanco in all of tho many streams in the 
State; and for the canoeist there is not more picturesque scenery 
anywhere to he found than along the Upper Cumberland and 
Tennessee Rivers. While on the Flint, the Elk and Duck 
Rivers, which are not navigated by steamers, game and fish 
in such quantities are to bo found as to offer a never ending 
series of sport. The people are everywhere glad to meet 
strangers, and os the country, though thickly settled, is dotted 
with vast areas of forests in almost their virgin stale, the 
tourists have the advantage of both the comforts of civiliza- 
tion and the excitement of frontier life (less the Red Skin) 
agreeable blended. j. d. H. 
Michigan — Grand Rapids, June 15. — Deer are very num- 
erous, more so than I have sees in years. Two fawns wore 
caught near our lumber camp last week, and also two young 
bear cubs. h. B. W. 
Storm Lake.— Waterloo, la., June 18.— In your issue of 
June 13 you say to H. H. T., Leland, 111., “You will find 
quail and pinnated grouse about Storm Lake, Iowa." Quail 
are extremely scarce in that vicinity. Pinnated grouse are 
quite plenty. I hud good shooting there last season. Ducks 
and geese are very plenty in the Take during the migratory 
seasons. It is getting to be well settled about Storm Lake, 
and of course game is not so plenty as it has been. I think 
that the best place for hunting and fishing in this State, if not

its feasibility. Twenty miles west are the White Mountains,
