Alert Gun Club. 
Easton, Pa.—The Alert Gun Club’s tournament, at 
Phillipsburg, N. J., on Labor Day started in with rain, 
and this on the start off was the means of holding a 
great many out-of-town shooters away from the tourna¬ 
ment. However, the rain did not keep all the shooters 
away, and at about 10:30 A. M. the tournament started 
with shooters entered from the three surrounding States. 
The professional shots in attendance were Neaf Apgar, 
Mr. Lewis, and H. P. Fessenden. Amateurs were pres¬ 
ent from Easton, Allentown and Bethlehem, Bangor and 
Penn Argyl, in Pennsylvania; from New York city, and 
from many different points in New Jersey and also from 
Warwick, N. Y., and a delegation was present from this 
place. 
Shooting was not up to the standard on account of rain 
and also on account of the heavy wind blowing across 
the traps. Two sets of traps were used, and the shoot¬ 
ers were finished with the programme by 4:30. 
Messrs. Markley and Heil tied for high amateur average 
with 173 breaks. Schortemeier, of New York city came 
in for second high average. Pleiss and Castle tied for 
third high average. Neaf Apgar took high professional 
average with 172 breaks. 
An up-to-date lunch was served to the shooters, and 
was enjoyed by all of them. -Thirty-nine different shoot¬ 
ers faced the traps during the day, and about 7,000 targets 
were thrown. Scores:

By GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL 
No single gunner, however wide his experi

novel information by reading this complete and 
most interesting book. It describes, with a por¬ 
trait, every species of duck, goose and swar, 
known to North America; tells of the various 
methods of capturing each, the guns, ammunition 
loads, decoys and boats used in the sport, and 
gives the best account ever published of the re 
trieving Chesapeake Bay dog.

California Mammals. 
By FRANK STEPHENS 
Illustrated by W. J. FENTI, from Studies in the Field. 
A general work on the mammals of California 
has just been published, and the work brought 
up to this year 1906 , by Mr. Frank Stephens, one 
of the best known faunal naturalists of the Pacific 
Coast. Mr. Stephens has probably more knowl¬ 
edge about California mammals than any man 
living, and the present work of 350 pages con¬ 
tains a very great mass of information on the 
life histories of these s.pecies. 
Every naturalist must of necessity possess this 
volume, and every big-game hunter ought to have 
it also, for in it there are described no less than 
fifteen species of big-game which the California 
hunter is likely to meet with. 
The total list of mammals numbers 276 .
