Gravesend Bay, N. Y., April 26.—Gravesend Bay 
yachtsmen shot their final match for this season to-day, 
and some handsome scores resulted. The shoot-off for 
March cup resulted in ,a full 100 for J. M. Knox, shoot¬ 
ing from a handicap of 12. In this event E. H. Lott 
broke 95 from scratch. On April cup, at 300 scalers, P. 
R. Towne won with 280 from 4. C. D. Sayre was second 
with 270 from 6. 
The special shoot from scratch at 25 rocks was a 
hummer. C. U. Sayre, E. H. Lott and H. M. Brigham 
each ran 25 straight, and in shoot-off Sayre broke 24, 
Brigham 23, and Lott 22. Sayre- was almost invincible. 
He ran 49 out of 50, and fell down on his last aerosaucer. 
This has been a decidedly successful season among 
sailing and motor boating clay disc crackers, and augurs 
well for a big squad next year.

Secaucus Gun Club. 
Secaucus, N. j., April 27.—At the regular shoot of 
the Secaucus Gun Club, held to-day, ten of the mem¬ 
bers took part. Owing to a high wind that blew in 
from the traps, filling our eyes with dust, the scores are 
a little below the average. Scores follow:

Orange, N. 1., April 26.—C. H. Day, Jr., ripped the 
nails from the case in which for some little time has laid 
the trophy designating the Jersey clay bird champion¬ 
ship. He shot a good race, winning by one bird, with 
47 out of 50. 
.A.LONG THE CAROLINA COAST. 
Continued from page 5G0. 
congregate in tlie niarslies, sloughs and ponds. 
The natives kill vast quantities, or did several 
years back at the time of our visit. But they 
derive small financial profit therefrom, having 
few facilities for reaching quickly the best mar¬ 
kets. What they sell is. usually to professional 
gunners, who visit the beaches in small coast¬ 
ing boats, both sail and motor, who besides 
slaughtering much themselves, buy all that is 
offered at a very low figure, then transport it 
to Newberne, Beaufort and other convenient 
railroad towns. How they pass through local 
restrictions as to exporting undue quantities of 
game is one of the mysteries, which, while ap¬ 
parent enough to anybody who cares to keep 
his eyes open, is under the surface difficult to 
solve. 
There are few, if any, canvasback or red¬ 
heads about Hatteras. We saw a great plenty 
of mallard, pintail, black duck, teal, brant, and 
were told that in the spring, wild geese and 
swan assembled in this part of Pamlico Sound 
preparatory to their northward flight. 
A few miles southwest of Cape Hatteras is 
Ocracoke Inlet, with a small village of that 
name near, and beyond that is another one, 
Portsmouth. We did not goi there, but they 
present pretty much the same characteristics as 
those of Chickamacomico, Big Kinnakeet and 
Hatteras. At Ocracoke is said to be one of 
the finest ranges for brant shooting on the 
coast, as many as two hundred having been 
killed by one gun in one day, so we were told. 
There are no sporting clubs in this coast sec¬ 
tion south of New Inlet. The general inacces¬ 
sibility of the region probably being the reason. 
It takes a week from Washington; and the time 
and labor, not to speak of the expense, involved, 
keeps sportsmen away. So many privileges are 
offered by clubs along the west shores of Pam¬ 
lico and Albemarle Sounds, that where time as 
well as money are an object, these primitive hut 
attractive places on the outer coast rim, are 
passed by. Again, the exposure to storms that 
occur during the winter season requires certain 
qualities of stoic endurance diat many do not 
possess. Yet, to those who are willing to ac¬ 
cept the difficulties, and the dangers, there is 
much good sport and enjoyment to be had at a 
comparatively small cost. 
Another thing I must not pass over. I do 
believe there are more raccoons on Cape Plat- 
teras than any place I ever hunted over. The 
inextricably rough, close character of the vege¬ 
tation. combined with the debris constantly cast 
up by the sea, and the inexhaustible fish sup¬ 
ply washing up against the Sound shore line all 
go to make Br’er ’Coon wax fat and fierce. 
Though the pelts are rated low in the fur mar¬ 
ket, the field for trapping when the fur is at its 
best is a good one. You will hardly find a do¬ 
mestic cat on the island for, despite pussy’s 
deputed nine lives, the ’coon soon disposes of 
them all. One moonlight night we went out 
with a Capt. Etherige and one of his coast 
guards, and came home in the small hours with
