sinister buzz attracted many visitors to their

Report of Shooting at the Birmingham Gun Club. 
January 17, 1914. 
Twenty shooters were at the weekly shoot of the Birm¬ 
ingham Gun Club. The wind was blowing which caused 
the targets to dodge around and caused many misses. 
Gentry" Hillman led the shooting with 94 out of his 
100 and a long run of 60 without a miss, H. C. Ryding 
was second with 87. Harry Sherman, vice-president of 
the Sportsmen’s Cartridge Co. paid us a visit but shot 
below his average. VV. O. Bonham led the professionals. 
President James Hillman, Mrs. Garl and Guy Ward tied 
on 86 each. 
T. E. Bennett of Mississippi paid us a visit and shot 
well.

lem and various suggestions were made. The 
-action just taken by the Postmaster General en¬ 
tirely satisfies game conservationists, and they 
feel that one of the most dangerous leaks in the 
game supply of the country has been stopped. 
“Since 1900, when Federal Statute 553, known 
as “The Lacey Act,” was passed, the game au¬ 
thorities have felt that they had the situation in 
hand, for the law prohibited interstate commerce 
in game in violation of state laws and imposed 
heavy penalties both on individuals and upon com¬ 
mon carriers violating the game laws of any of 
the states by illegal shipment. 
“The express companies, which handle most 
of the game shipped in interstate commerce, have 
very generally lived up to the law, and where 
they have been imposed upon, they have always 
ben ready to aid officials in convicting shippers 
of illegal game. When, however, the parcels post 
invaded the express companies’ field, the old meth¬ 
ods of preventing the shipment of illegal game 
were no longer effective. Just as soon as the pot 
hunter had delivered his partridges or wild ducks 
into Uncle Sam’s keeping, he was safe from 
punishment for any illegal act connected with the 
shipment for the simple reason that no game 
official had a right to examine the package and 
the postal authorities themselves would not do it.”

Large Ratlesnakes .-—One of the most danger¬ 
ous consignments to arrive at the New York Zoo 
consisted of a crate of nine diamond-back rattle¬ 
snakes. These creatures were captured .in one 
spot not far from Orlando, Florida, as they 
were preparing to retire into their dens for the 
winter. The big rattlesnakes of Florida hiber¬ 
nate a short time during the cooler months, and, 
like the smaller species of the north, congregate 
in considerable numbers at such periods. The 
collector who captured these rattlesnakes informs 
us that his troubles were many in transporting 
a large bag containing these heavy reptiles to 
a wagon, some six miles distant. Placed in a 
cage of the Reptile House, the big snakes rattled 
almost incessantly for several days, and the
