tions for the American Team, not only prompily and 
cheerfully paid |500, but offered, as an encouragement 
to our bo 3 's, to pa}' ^500 more in case they won the in- 
ternational match, a fact of whic^i his counsel. Judge 
Hilton, in the absence of Hr. Stewart at Saratoga, win

The Team paid a visit to Glasgow and Edinburgh, in 
Scotland, where they were received with all the honois. 
A XEW rifle range is in progress of construction at 
Cauarsie, L. I. In convenience of access it is superior 
to Creedmoor, and there is no reason, if rightly man- 
aged, why it should not be a success.

A Dog Four Wf.eks "Without Food. — Adolph Roda, 
of Rochester, lost a black and tan dog four weeks ago, 
and until the 4th could discover no trace of his fate. 
On Sunday, however, an ice-house a few rods from Mr. 
Rodu’s house, was opened, and out walked, or rather 
rolled, what w’as left of 5Ir. Roda’s dog. Almost four 
weeks to a day the dog had been imprisoned in his icy 
dnngeoD, and when released he was unable to stand 
upon his legs. He was fed in small quantities, and by 
degrees seems to be regaining strength The little fel- 
low has demonstrated the fact that a dog can live four 
weeks Avithout food. How far the ice went toward 
prolonging life is a part of the problem that cannot be 
solved. How the dog got into the ice-house is another 
mystery, hut it is believed that he was forced into an 
aperture at the top by some mischievous person.

I BY OUR OWN CORRESPONDENTS ] 
Chicago, July 8. — The tournament announced to 
take place at South Chicago the 3d and oth was badly 
broken up by the intensely warm weather and rain, so 
that neither day were entries enough made to fill. In- 
stead. therefore of the regular programme siveepstakes 
were shot lioth days; as many as six being shot on Sat- 
urday, and thirteen on .Monday. Saturday, Henry 
Kleinman was the largest winner, and on Monday J. J. 
Kleinman, A, Price and George and H. N. Sherman 
didtha test. A? far as ladJgativaa goi H«ury 
man is the “boss” around here, and for killing hard, 
swift-flying birds at long range, I have never seen better 
done than he did on Saturday, and as soon as longer 
practice at the trap gives him more nerve and experi- 
ence, Bogerdus will have to look out. On the 3d and 
5th there was shooting everywhere. The new club at 
St. Loui* panned out well and made scores that much 
, larger organizations would not be ashamed of. At 
South Bend, Ind., a two days’ tournament served to 
pats the time away, and the poor pigeons had to catch, 
it at Manchester, 111., Champaigne, 111., Fremont, Ne- 
braska, St. Joseph, Mo, Cornell, 111., and at almost 
every other town or village where birds could be ob- 
tained. On the last Tuesday in June Mr. Charles E. 
Fulton was elected President of the Illinois State Asso- 
ciation for the ensuiug year. The choice ii a wise one, 
as Mr. Fulton is a man of energy and ability, and more- 
over, is liked by every one, and is not too high-toned 
to step down from his sphere and take hold and push 
things along. Had not he or some other as good, been 
elected, it would have been Good Bye .Association. 
Another such year as the last would have killed it so 
dead that it never could have been resurrected. At the 
same meeting, Mr. J. L. Stockton was elected Secre- 
tary, and R. R. Clark, Treasurer; good selections in 
both instances. 
At the State Association shoot on the 29th ult., Mr. i 
G. C. Sherman won the first prize and the State Cham- 
nionship. Mr. Wilcox, the winner, last year, was 
among those who tied with Mr. Sherman, but was pre- 
ventsd from shooting off the tie by business, and 
so forfeited his rights. The season on woodcock 
opened the Ist; birds, however, are very scarce, and no 
large bags have as yet been made. Your correspondent 
in half a day on good ground, failed even to see one, 
but the outlook for chicken next month is very promis- 
ing, and the high water, if it only holds out, is just 
splendid for the duck hunters. Wild pigeons haA'e all 
left Wisconsin, and are badly scattered, more being in 
Michigan than in any other one State. Fishing is poor, 
recent heavy rains having entirely spoiled it. 
CiNciuNATi, O.— According to the annual cnatom the membera of 
the Cincinnati Shooting and Fishing Club mustered in force on tho 
Club Grounds to celebrate July 4th, (on this occasion observed on 
Monday, the 5th,) by a grand pigeon match. One thousand wild 
birds had been procured, and the weather, barring the heat and a 
slight shower, was reasonably fair. In addition to the regular con- 
test for the Club Badge, two special prizes, viz., a gold medal, with 
appropriate emblems and inscriptions, and a silycr-monnted fishing 
rod, presented by Messrs. Caldwell and Ellard. The first to he shot 
for at fifteen single birds, twenty-one yards rise, and the second at 
six double rises and eighteen yards; both prizes to be the iona fide 
property of the winners on the day. The Club Badge was shot for 
under the usual conditions, viz., ten singles at twenty-six yards, and 
three double birds at eighteen yards rise. The fishing rod was first 
competed for, and was won by Mr. C. Dodsworth. TheClub Badge 
was next on the programme, and after a tie between Henry Koch 
and Geo. B. Ellard, was won by the latter; the first occasion of its 
having fallen twice to the same member- The Caldwell Medal was 
then shot for and fell to the gun of J. Yost. After the prizes were 
disposed of, as there were plenty of birds left, quite a number of 
little matches, for the birds, were shot off between non-members, 
which lasted till dark. The meeting was a very successful and en 
joy able affair, and the only drawback to mar the pleasure of the day 
was the absence from illness of the worthy President, Mr. H. Cald- 
well. 
St. Louis, Mo. — At Last St. Louis can claim to 
have a first-class club under the name of the “St. Louis 
Gun Club.” The declared object of which is the en- 
forcement of game protection laws; improvement of the 
breeds of hunting dogs by means of bench shows, etc. 
and the perfecting of its members in wing shooting. 
The club organization was effected in May, only, and 
the membership now numbers fifty-five, composed of 
many of the best men in the ciiy. A handsome gold 
champion badge has been provided, which is to be shot 
for by members of the club ouly, once each mouth, at 
the so-called regular club shoots, and the person win- 
ning it the oftenest during the year at the end of that 
time is to own it. 
The first shoot for that purpose took place on the 5th 
inst., at the private grounds of Jlr. Chas. L. Hunt, one 
of the members, under the regular club rules, at ten 
single birds, twenty-one yards rise, eighty yards bound- 
ary, four of Parker’s H. and T. plunge traps being 
used. The scores will be given in our next issue. 
The day was bright and pleasant, with a good br«eze 
blowing from the score towards the traps. The oirds, 
■vild oae-A. were with few e.xceptions strong, and flew 
well. zLltogether the meeting was a success. The in- 
terest manifested iu the club by its members promises for 
it a long and prospoioua future, with Iku accuuipiish- 
iment of much good M’ork in the way of game protec* 
ttvh.
