Portland Gun Club. 
Portland. Me., May 17.—Good fishing in the nearby 
lakes was the cause for the small attendance at the 
weekly shoot of the Portland Gun Club to-day. By far 
the most interesting feature of to-day’s event was the 
contest between Dana Miles and his young son. Neither 
the father or boy had ever shot at clay pigeons before, 
hut they went after the birds like veterans. The boy, 
Tldward, proved a little better in his work than did his 
father, and won out by 4 birds. The scores of both 
gunners were remarkably good, considering it was their 
first work at the traps. Billy Hill, the only professional 
who took part in the program of the afternoon, was 
high gun with 96. George Blanchard showed by his 
■93 that he is one of the coming gunners of the State. 
The improved work of Steve Dimick was noticeable, 
while some of the favorites fell down. The wind, blow¬ 
ing hard right into the traps, made shooting conditions 
bad. Scores:

G. C. 
Westboro, Mass., May 19.—Wednesday afternoon, on 
invitation of the Brampton Gun Club, seven members of 
the Westboro Gun Club took part in a 50-target event 
and ranked high in the scores. The following members 
went over: Hemenway, Geo. Taft, Metcalf, Judge Fowler, 
■Capt. Johnson, Hunter and Leland. They reported a 
fine time, and hope the Hopkinton boys will come over 
•and shoot on their traps in the near future. Everybody 
is welcome to come when they can. 
The third shoot of the Westboro Gun Club was held 
Saturday afternoon at the traps on Nason field. There 
were three events, with eight members competing. Two 
15 and one 20-target events were shot. Taft was high 
man of the afternoon. The scores were as follows: 
Event No. 1. 15 targets: Burhoe 6, Treadway 3, 
Hunter 6, Taft 10, W. Metcalf 9, H. Metcalf 9, Fowler 
1, Hoffman 9. 
Event No. 2, 15 targets: W. Metcalf 4, Taft 11, Fowler 
4, White 1, Burhoe 11, Hoffman 6, H. Metcalf 8, Beach 3. 
Event No. 3, 20 targets: Hunter 6, H. Metcalf 13, 
Taft 15. ^ ■ 
There were other members of the club present who 
did not compete in the events. Great interest is shown 
by members, who turn out at every opportunity.

The Great Sleeper Shark. 
The great sleeper shark is a most stupid, 
gluttonous species—as, in fact, are most of the 
sharks—and spends most of its time dozing on 
the surface of the sea. When aroused or 
hungry, it attacks whales, porpoises, or, in 
fact, anything it can find, and bites pieces from 
its victims with its knife-like teeth. At such 
times it seems perfectly oblivious to pain or 
fright and can be hacked with knives and 
pierced with spears without paying the least at¬ 
tention or seeming to take any notice. This 
savage creature reaches a length of 30 to 40 
feet and is fully as large and even more formid¬ 
able than are the true man-eating sharks. 
ONE BIG BUCK.

foot. Well, we hauled Mr. Horns ashore. Then, 
thanks to watertight matchsafes, and logs that 
sometimes have dry under sides, and thanks also 
to a dead birch we barked our shins upon in 
the dark, we made a fire. That fire was the 
most cheerful thing (except pay day) I had ever 
seen. 
We lightened the deer of those digestive, 
respiratory and other organs he had no further 
use for, and then tying his legs together and 
cutting a pole, we essayed that beautiful scene 
depicted in the sporting press as “taking the 
quarry to camp.’’ Now, that looks well in a 
picture; fine and dandy. Did you ever try it 
through the virgin forest about 2 a. m. with a 
drizzly rain falling, with wet clothes, spruce root 
traps, many tumbles, switching and scratching un¬ 
dergrowth, and—the lantern in the bottom of the 
bay? Gee! I’ll never forget that night; neither 
will Frank. 
Finally, about first coffee time in the morn¬ 
ing, we struck camp. “Get one?’’ asked the 
sluggard of the party who hadn’t even arisen. 
“Yes, you lunk-headed Scandinavian,’’ we cried in 
chorus, as with the last ounce of strength left 
in our frames we heaved the bloody, wet and 
hairy monarch on top of Mr. Lazy, and he slept 
on a canvas cot at that. Tableau! 
Oh, about the gun? We got that the next 
afternoon, but it was a cold job. We also re¬ 
covered what was left of the canoe and the 
paddles. The lantern is still there. 
THE ANGLING ROD IN CENTRAL OHIO. 
Continued from page 659. 
where the members also go to practice casting 
at any time. Our first tournament was held 
here May 18, 1911, when about 200 interested 
people enjoyed a good time and about $100 
worth of fishing tackle was distributed among 
the jovial contestants. This is the first angling 
tournament ever held in Central Ohio, and I 
am told it is the first in the State. Next tour¬ 
nament is May 30, afternoon. Memorial 
services in morning. 
Our worthy State Fish and Game Warden, 
Col. J. C. Speaks, who is one of our esteemed 
townsmen and one of our members, says he 
will deputize every member of this club to 
bring to bay any illegal catching of fish. So 
you understand that illicit fishing in Franklin 
county has too many eyes to dodge, and has 
too much cash and talent to fight, and, mind 
you, we have a score of the best legal talent in 
Central Ohio. A' number of arrests have al¬ 
ready been made. 
Columbus and vicinity have more, if not the 
best, inland fresh waters than any other section 
of equal size in the State for good game fish 
such as the bass, as follows: Scioto and 
Olentangy rivers. Big Darby, Little Darby, Big 
Walnut, Black Lick, Deer Creek, Paint Creek, 
Alum Creek. Also Greenwood Lake at Dela¬ 
ware (twenty-four miles), about one-half square 
mile; Buckeye Lake near Newark (thirty-three 
miles) has about fifteen square miles, and In¬ 
dian Lake at Lewistown (sixty-four miles) has 
about twenty square miles, and Grand Lake at 
St. Marys (ninety-three miles) has twenty-six 
square miles. This is the largest artificial lake in 
the world. At one time oil wells were sunk in
