Cincinnati Revolver Club. 
The attendance at the Brendamour range on April 1 
was not so good as usual. With the approach of warmer 
weather the members are forsaking the indoor range, 
and getting their sport in the open. However, ten 
members were on hand for the first contest in the 
fourth series of club team matches, the Blue team again 
having the best of it in numbers, six men taking their 
places at the firing points, while only four of the Reds 
showed up. Naturally the Blues won, and by the big 
margin of 414 points. The team also got all the in¬ 
dividual honors, A. H. Kenan being high with 221; 
all but three of his shots were placed in the black, 
and ten of them were centers. Dr. A. A. Yungblut was 
second with 214; he also had ten centers, but dropped 
out of the black seven times in his 25 shots. He tied 
with Kenan for high 5-shot score on 46. Capt. Stevenson 
shot in good form, getting in third place on 204, his third 
target showing a nice group in the black for 45. Eustis 
improved in his actual score with his 45 automatic, get¬ 
ting 179, his handicap for service ammunition giving 
him a total of 186. On the Red team K. W. Stevenson 
and Col. Hake had a close race for first place, the 
former finishing with one point to the good. The 
matches will be continued through this month, and then 
a rest will be taken until 
fall, practice 
being kept up 
on the out door range.

Fisherman’s Club Dines. 
The Fisherman’s Club of Chicago held its seventh 
annual dinner and “get-together” at the Auditorium, 
Chicago, on March 28th, there being more than five hun¬ 
dred sportsmen in attendance. William P. Wiliams 
acted as toastmaster. Among the speakers responding 
were Dan W. Simms, of Lafayette; E. W. Welker, of 
Delavan, Wis.; Emory B. Sellers, of Monticeilo, Ind., 
and C. H. Hall, of Milwaukee, Wis. The program was 
interspersed with selections by the Imperial Quartette, 
and “stunts” were introduced by a number of cabaret 
performers. 
Shoot When You Feel Like It. 
The man with the hankering for a shoot any old day 
in the week will find a place on the roof of Grand Cen¬ 
tral Palace, where his desire may be gratified. Every¬ 
thing is in readiness for the Forest and Stream shoots, 
the first of which took place last Saturday. If you have 
a little bet to settle, arrange a match for the roof, any 
day, morning or evening. Traps and trappers always on 
hand at half hour notice. If you want to learn to 
shoot an expert will be on hand to teach you free of 
charge. Guns will be furnished visitors as willingly as 
you get a cue in a billiard room. Shells, of regulation 
loads, always on hand. Ladies clubs will find this a 
most delightful place to practice or hold matches. 
Trophies are offered for different events. 
Pheasants Live on Buds. 
Game protector Charles H. Yaple, of Owego, N. Y., 
has ascertained that the unusually severe weather is 
causing the pheasants in this vicinity to change their 
habits of feeding, and is teaching them to subsist by 
“budding.” Mr. Yaple found several places where these 
birds were snipping the buds from low-growing shrub¬ 
bery. He reported his discovery to the state conserva¬ 
tion commission and sent samples of the buds on which 
the pheasants were living. The conservation officials 
replied that they had heard pheasants would live by 
“budding” when in want of other food, but this was 
the first real evidence received of their doing so. 
In Tompkins county game protector John Vann, re¬ 
ported that the pheasants were dying in large numbers 
for want of food. He sent out a request that the farm¬ 
ers throw out food for the birds. He said that pheas¬ 
ants need only small encouragement to come to the 
houses and eat with the chickens. When the food is 
placed in the open fields crows and other ravenous 
birds get most of the grain. 
Even the crows suffered from the extremely cold 
weather. Near Apalachin farmers reported finding a 
considerable number of their dead bodies. In view of 
the fact that these hardy scavengers cannot survive the 
rigors of the weather, it is easy to see how necessary 
it is that tender game birds be provided with food. 
Attractive Catalogue. 
One of the bright signs of the opening of the fishing 
season is the attractive catalogue recently issued by 
William Mills & Son, of 21 Park Place, New York city. 
Besides listing the newest wrinkles as well as the i-n- 
dispensible stand-bys in the fishing equipment line, the 
booklet is embellished with eight artistically executed 
color plates, showing a number of varieties -of flies in 
their natural coloring and exact size. This catalogue 
enables the -fisherman who lives at a distance to order 
his -flies with all the certainty of the man who can visit 
t-he shop in person, and the booklet makes it as easy to 
order as though the fisherman had received a sample col¬ 
lection of all -that is best in the fly line.

The “Primitive Man” to Tell His Story. 
Mr. Joseph Knowles, the “primitive man” who lived 
in the Maine woods last fall for two months, as re¬ 
motely isolated from all sources of food supply and 
clothing as the primitive Indian, has undertaken a simi¬ 
lar trial of his knowledge of woodcraft and physical en¬ 
durance under the watchful eyes of a group of scientists 
in the California forests in the near future. His last 
lecture on his experiences in Maine last fall, which he 
calls “Alone in the Wilderness,” will be given here in 
New York, on Saturday afternoon, April nth,- at 3 
o’clock, in the New Synod Hall, under the auspices of 
the Camp Directors Association of America, which is 
the organization of the owners and directors of the 
principal private camps for boys and girls in America, 
This lecture is an invitation affair exclusively for the 
campers who go to these private camps for boys and 
girls, and admittance can be gained only by request to 
some camp director belonging to this association. The 
purpose of this lecture is to advance the general inter¬ 
est in outdoor life among young people and their parents 
and to promote the interests of camping in general.
