Smith’s LaivE, North AVoods, N. Y., June 18. 
Thinking you might like to hear a word from 3'our 
old correspondent, I send you a few items from our 
forest retreat. It is a rain3' da3', and we are takingTt 
easy after a hard trip in. Aly friend, Frank D., of New 
Haven, my last 3’enr’s chum, is with me, and nn' old 
guide, Carl Alger. AA'e have just finished breakfast, con- 
sisting of trout, pork, coffee, boiled rice, etc., and after 
a good square sleep last night, are feeling pretty good 
considering the w’ay the Hies walked into us yesterday. 
We are waiting for the weather to clear up so that we 
can start for Big Salmon Lake over towards the Rac- 
quette. AA'e are alone on this lake, and below (Albany) 
about four miles there are two men camping. I never 
saw such cold w’eather here at this season of the 3'ear in 
m3' life. Ice has made as thick as a knife blade seve- 
ral nights, and a goud log fire is one of the essentials of 
comfort, even in the day-time. The fishing is first- 
class; the trout are laying on the rapids as thick as hair 
on a dog’s back Yesterday I gave them a pull with 
the flies, but they seemed to like bait belter, allhough 
they kept me pretty bu.^y. AVe caught with flies and 
bait about 75 in short order. The3' have not got into 
the spring holes 3'et, as I could not get a single rise af- 
ter trying several localities. The hanks of the river are 
all cut up with deer tiacks, and one party reported 
seeing four at one time on the river. 
The flies are simpl3' awful, during the middle of the 
day w'hen the sun warms them up. A'esterday, while 
fi-hing, I had to stop and wash them out of 013- e3’es 
where they flew in before I could see; but if the fiies 
bile so do the trout, so it’s square all around. It has 
been very dry up here; ver3' little rain till to-day, and 
we are hoping it will rain so as to raise the inlet suffi- 
ciently so we can get up with our boat to-morrow to 
Salmon Lake without wading. 
Last night an old owl a little ways up on the moun- 
tain asked “AA'ho? ho! ho!” wishing to know who we 
were ivhile we were in “in our little beds.” Our guide 
responded sotto voce, and old Carl, w hen he seemed sat- 
isfied. The air was vocal last night with owls, loons, 
etc., who made the old woods echo, but I was so sleepy 
I was not much disturbed. I will tiy' and let you hear 
from me again when we get into our permanent camp 
on Big Salmon. I don’t know how soon 3'ou will get 
this, as I don’t see any way of getting out mail for seve- 
ral da3's, but it will reach you some lime, I trust.

Col. N. S. Goss — In reply to yours of the 19th, I 
will say I now have two female White Pelicans that 
bear the description of 3'Our bird. I mounted these 
birds last spring — in April, and know by actual dissec- 
tion, that both are females. I herewith enclose photo 
of these birds which show the center-board to be rough 
and jagged. The occipital crest, upper wing coverts 
and laneolate feathers on breast are of a light straw 
color as per 3'our statement , and I feel confident the con- 
clusions you reach are correct. O. S. George.

I BY OUR OWN COKRKS1*ONDENTS ] 
Milwaukee, June 26.— The Wisconsin sharpshooter’s tourna- 
ment closed at Sheboygan to-day. The interest was not so genera 
as on former years. The result of the important contests is as fol- 
lows: On the Wisconsin target John Munier of Mihvaukic, made 65 
bull's-eyes, was declared the Rille King for the year, and won the 
best prize. The same shot also led on the next two prize targets, 
the “point” and “rotation” targets, by 37 and 62 bull's eye respec- 
tively. It was remarkable that the champion shot of last year, Da- 
vid Cohn, of Milwaukee, was the poorest shot at this contest, and 
has also averaged poorest in the practice shooting at the Sharp- 
shooter’s Park here during the summer. 
The pigeon tournament for Wisconsin shots at Madison last week 
was highly satisfactory. The first day was for $150 divided into 
four prizes, viz., $70, $40, $25 and $15, respectively, each sportsman 
•having 15 single rises. The first was equally divided between A. 
Kleiuman and W. Taylor; the second between 0. Brooks and J. A. 
Rublee; the third won by C, L. Valentine; and the fourth by J. E. 
Fisher. 
The second day the same amount being divided into four prizes 
as before, was won as follows: First prize U. 11. Klelnman; second, 
A. Kleinman; third, J. J. Klelnman; fourth, H. N. Sherman. 
Of several interesting private matches the most important was for 
$•20 and 20 single rises each, won by W. Taylor, of Edgerton, who 
killed 14 birds to 12 killed by E. H. Lyman, of Monroe. 
The only other shooting of interest in the State recently was the 
late contest between the sportsmen of Sparta and those of La Crosse 
which was won by Sparta, lUl to 82. 
Cisco fishing on Geneva Lake is practically over for the season 
That eccentric gamester has retired to deep water and the “cisco-fly” 
has also taken Us departure. Cisco fishing lasts here only about two 
weeks, but duiiug that time it is rare good sport and ciscoes are 
worth more in the market than brook trout. Russ. 
Jav Cookr is credited with this mode of fishiug at Put-in-Bay, for 
a description of wliich all lazy fisnennen will be thankful: “lie had 
a large glass jar, filled with minnows, iu the place which he fre- 
quented. The big fishes would swarm around the jar, seeing their 
coveted prey and hungry for their expected feast. He could drop 
his hook among them, and haul out the victims of his novel delusion 
with the utmost ease and readiness, until tired of the unsportsman- 
like sport.” Those fish must have been raised on Xorthern Pacific. 
Bluefish are abundant iu Tuck%rtoii bay, New Jersey, and are 
taking the squid freely.
