HITTING vs. MISSING. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow”). Cloth. Price, $1.00. 
Mr. Hammond enjoys among his field companions the 
repute of being an unusually good shot, and one who is 
particularly successful in that most difficult branch of 
upland shooting, the pursuit of the ruffed grouse or 
partridge. This prompted the suggestion that he should 
write down for others an exposition of the methods by 
which his skill was acquired. The result is this original 
manual of “Plitting vs. Missing.” We term it original, 
because, as the chapters will show, the author was self- 
taught; the expedients and devices adopted and the forms 
of practice followed were liis own. This then may he 
termed the Hammond system of shooting; and as it 
was successful in his own experience, being here set 
forth simply and intelligibly, it will prove not less effec¬ 
tive with others.

Florida, for the winter season. The yacht is in 
charge of Captain Yates and chief engineer

for a Philadelphia yachtsman. Mr. Stuyvesant 
Wainwright, who was such a prominent_ figure in

A peculiar accident occurred last week at the 
wintering basin at Fifty-eighth street, Brooklyn. 
Visitor, a steamer belonging to Mr. W. Harry 
Brown, New York Y. C., arrived from Boston 
and moored alongside of Nourmahal, Col. John 
Jacob Astor. It appears that Visitor's forecastle 
port holes came in line and close to one fitted 
with a stove pipe on the Nourmahal. The crew 
turned in early and one of the men was awakened 
early the next morning by the cries of the ship's 
parrot. The man dragged himself on deck. He 
was suffering from partial asphyxiation caused by 
coal gas blowing in the open port hole and fill- 
in the forecastle. The air revived him and after 
getting his companions out summoned a doctor 
who attended the men. The parrot did not seem 
to mind his trying experience.
