White Plains Gun Club.

The White Plains Gun Club held their weekly shoot 
at their club grounds located at the Gedney Farms 
Hotel, Saturday afternoon, April 11, 1914. 
The weather was somewhat chilly and a stiff north¬ 
east breeze swept across the traps which made shoot¬ 
ing at times very difficult. There were 23 members 
who took part in this shoot and among this number 
were two ladies. There is a keen contest among the 
lady members of our club for the Dr. Martin’s trophy 
for ladies. Mrs. F. F. Rodgers, with a handicap, of 10 
m 50, proved to be the winner on this occasion with 
a total of 43. The high scratch gun was won by H. H. 
Shannon with a total of 92. This makes the second 
time during the past month that Mr. Shannon led all 
the other members at our club. He also won a leg 
°P , th , e trophy and the Dunont trophy. The 
high handicap gun was won by Mr. T. L. DeNyse 
with a handicap of 12. making a total of 93. He also

Plan to Employ Field Agent. 
The executive committee of Johnstown Camp, No. 76, 
United Sportsmen of Pennsylvania, at a recent meet¬ 
ing voted in favor of pledging $300 toward the fund 
of $2,500 being -raised by -the head camp, for the purpose 
of employing a -state field secretary for the ensuing year. 
With such a field worker it 'is hoped to organize camps 
in almost every town i-n the state, keep them interested 
and on the job, and to keep better posted on game and 
fish legislation at Harrisburg. 
Law Affords Real Protection. 
The benefits resulting from giving our wild birds pro¬ 
tection is well illustrated -in Pennsylvania. A close 
season of two years was declared in that state on wild 
turkeys which were in danger of extinction. Now comes 
■the gratifying reports -that the birds have multiplied to 
a point where they are even as plentiful as they were 
forty years ago. Other states by adopting similar laws 
might make the wild prototype of the domestic bird a 
factor -in reducing -the high cost of Thanksgiving. 
More Bass for Texas. 
The pools at the head of the San Antonio River are 
being stocked with 6,600 bass minnows from the fish 
culture station at San Marcos, Tex. Fish Commissioner 
Mark Riley has charge of the station. 
An 
Ideal Game Preserve 
For Sale 
St. Vincent’s Island, Florida. The only perfect and 
complete hunting and fishing preserve left in this coun¬ 
try. Situated in 'the Gulf of Mexico, eight miles from 
Apalachicola, Fla. Containing 11,290 acres. It is nine 
miles long, and four miles wide, about one-half covered 
with original forest, grand pines and palmetto. There 
are open grassy Savannah’s, five large fresh water 
lakes, connected one with another by deep creek, which 
flows by manor house -to sea. A dozen other ponds afford 
fresh water for a large number of deer, wild boar, wild 
cattle, turkey, Wilson Jack snipe, duck, and -some alli¬ 
gators, as well as great quantity of large and small fish. 
Numerous large oyster beds in coves. Nine miles of 
wide hard sand beach furnishes a fast drive for autos or 
horses, besides beautiful drives thru the woods. 
The Island has been owned -since the war by only three 
proprietors, all of whom protected the game. The last 
proprietor -has lived on the Island for many winters; he 
has sown many hundreds of acres of wild rice and 
celery, smart-weed and other duck food, so that great 
quantities of duck and geese visit and live on the 
Island. The owner has imported and successfully bred 
the Sambur, or India Deer, also Japanese Deer which 
are increasing fast, as well as wild turkey and quail. 
The Island is -easily protected, contains at a low esti¬ 
mate 1,500 native deer, 300 or 400 head ef wild cattle; 
very difficult to hunt and shoot, and several thousand 
wild pigs. 
Numerous oyster beds -in coves and bayous furnish the 
finest oysters of the coast, besides shrimp, crabs and 
turtles. All varieties of fishing found in the Gulf of 
Mexico abound in the ohannels adjacent, as well as be¬ 
ing impounded in the inland lakes of St. Vincent. 
There -are a half dozen bungalows and several hunting 
lodges -in woods—built for -the -convenience of a large 
family, or visitors, which would serve well for club pur¬ 
poses. They are modern and up-to-date. A yacht and 
launch, duck boats, vehicles and mules, milch cows and 
Chickens, go with the place. For information address 
Dr. V. M. Pierce, Invalids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. 
Will Protect Alaska Game. 
Alaska’s big game, which yearly furnished excellent 
sport for wealthy huntsmen from all over the world, is 
to receive greater protection -in the future as the result 
of new regulations made public to-day by the Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture. Effective immediately and for a 
period of two years, the -shooting of moose in south¬ 
western Alaska, and of mountain sheep in the eastern 
part of Ken-ai peninsula, is prohibited. The area thus 
closed to moose hunters lies south -and east of Lynn 
Canal, and on the Kenai peninsula sheep are protected 
east of longitude 150 degrees. The districts as affected 
by the new regulations are among the most readily 
accessible to sportsmen. Hitherto Alaskan game has 
been protected only by a closed season, and the system 
of fees for shooting and shipping licenses.
