WINNERS OF DUFF TROPHY. 
Laurys Station, Pa., September 29, 1914. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Some months ago, Mr. James Duff, that 
Scotch Craftsman of Jersey City made a pair of 
“Reddendo” Arrows, which was offered by the 
Scottish-American Archers as a Trophy to be 
shot for by a team of Four Archers from the 
various Clubs at either American or York 
Rounds. 
The first shoot for this Trophy was held at 
Jersey City and was won by the Wayne Archers. 
The winning team was then made up by Dr. 
Elmer, J. M. Mauser, A. C. Hale and E. E. Trout. 
The writer then got busy and introduced a few 
of his friends to the witchery of Archery for 
the purpose of getting up a team to compete for 
this Trophy. The Walden Archers soon became 
a fact, and on August 1, 19x4, they had the 
temerity to meet the Wayne Archers on the lawn 
of Mrs. John Dunlap, Wayne, Pa., for a “Red¬ 
dendo” Arrow Shoot. 
Needless to say we received a frightful licking, 
and it seemed almost a hopeless task to assemble 
four archers in a few months time or even in 
a few years time to ever make a winning team. 
But defeat only spurred us on, and never was 
.bowstring twanged since the Red-man held sway 
in the Lehigh Valley as it was during August 
and September to practice up for another meet 
with the Wayne Champions, who now have the 
distinction of having as a member, the National 
Champion of the United States, Dr. Robt. P, 
Elmer. He don’t mind being called Robin Hood 
Elmer. This shoot was held on Saturday, Sep¬ 
tember 26th on the writer’s lawn at Laury’s Sta¬ 
tion, Pennsylvania, and the mighty and haughty 
have bit the dust. We not only licked them, but 
we scalped them, and we at this writing are hear¬ 
ing muttered threats of a return meet in October. 
The shooting of Mr. Geo. B. Mauser stands out 
as a marvelous development of a Natural Archer. 
This score is the result of barely three months 
practice. The others of the team are working 
up to 400 scores at single American and should 
that happen, the Wayne Archers must do some 
night work to get the “Reddendo” Arrows back. 
There was also a Handicap American shoot in 
which the Ladies took part. 
The Wayne Archers were entertained by the 
Walden Archers and after the shoot were treated 
to a Clam-bake with Sherwood Forest side trim¬ 
mings. 
First gentlemen’s prize, gold cuff links, won by 
C. T. Ramsay; first ladies’ prize, gold pin, won 
by Miss Catherine Eckert. 
Mr. A. C. Hale won the Gentlemen’s Consola¬ 
tion, a Live Lobster, and Mrs. J. M. Mauser won 
the Ladies’ Consolation, a Live Chicken. Above 
prizes given by Mr. Geo. B. Mauser.

MOOSE IN UPPER MICHIGAN 
Two moose have been seen lately in the neigh¬ 
borhood of Pickford. They have approached to 
within a few rods of the town. One of the ani¬ 
mals is exceptionally large, its weight being esti¬ 
mated at 1,500 pounds. Tracks of moose have 
occasionally been seen in various localities in the 
eastern part of the upper peninsula. Not until 
this visit to Pickford, however, was more tang¬ 
ible evidence of the existence of the animals ob¬ 
tained. Half a century ago moose were plentiful 
in upper Michigan, as they are in Northern Min¬ 
nesota to-day. It is believed those now in the 
region have entered via the St. Mary’s river 
from Ontario. Moose are protected by the state 
laws. 
STUDY WILD RICE AS FOOD. 
White Earth, Minn., Sept. 22. — Professor C. P. 
Bull, agronomist, and Professor R. W. Hatcher, 
chemist, members of the University farm school 
faculty, came here to investigate the method of 
the natives in gathering and curing wild rice as 
a food product, also to determine the best pos¬ 
sible means and manner to grow this cereal and 
harvest it for commercial purposes. 
Owing to the numerous showers, which occa¬ 
sioned high water in the wild rice beds, the crop 
is light this season. 
CHICKENS PLENTIFUL. 
Marshall, Minn., Sept. 21.—Prairie chickens are 
numerous this fall. Stassen brothers of Ghent re¬ 
port that of three auto loads who went out re¬ 
cently, one secured 47 birds, another 45 and the 
third car shot 46. Another party shot 60 chickens 
the first two days over a 9-months-old pointer. 
As the stubble fields are being plowed the birds 
are taking to the corn fields where they are safe 
as it is almost impossible to get them out or to 
shoot over the corn when they do get up. 
A REMARKABLE THEBAUD-GRIFFON (GRIF¬ 
FON KORTHAL). 
Denton, N. C., October 1, 1914. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
I enclose you quite a remarkable picture of 
a Griffon puppy, taken at ten weeks old. “Grey- 
lock” is one of the celebrated Thebaud-Griffons. 
She is now owned by the Greylock Kennels, Gard¬ 
ner, Mass., and is said to be one of the best 
partridge and woodcock dogs of her age in 
Massachusetts. Griffons seem to be well adapted 
to all kinds of game and are growing very popu¬ 
lar among the sportsmen. They are wonderful in 
nose and bird finding ability and not erratic as 
the present day pointer and setter. Mr. Thebaud, 
now in France, writes: “It is almost impossible 
to obtain any more dogs on account of the war. 
I was very fortunate in getting together my 
kennels before the war broke out.” Snail in this 
section seems to be very plentiful, the farmers 
have learned to protect the birds and find them 
a valuable crop.
