very strong and erratic wind blew all afternoon, 
which made the shooting extremely hard. Five 
events of 25 targets each were pulled off. Events 
Nos. 1 and 2 were for practice. Event No. 3 
was for the Keppler medal, which was won by 
Tippett with a score of 24. Event No. 4 was 
for the Twohy medal, Bielenberg winning it 
with 22 out of the 25, and event No. 5 was a 
sweepstake. The first 100 targets shot at 
counted in the contest for the Panama-Pacific 
exposition prizes, which makes 1,900 targets shot 
at so far for this contest. Next month will 
wind up the contest. The leaders now stand: 
Drumgoole, 1,670; Goddard, 1,652; C. H. Smith,

SULLIVAN COUNTY. 
November comes in with a perfect Indian sum¬ 
mer’s day, bright and warm. The leaves are down 
and now we have four weeks of the best of the 
ruffed grouse shooting. All hands are agreed 
that the birds are more plentiful and better dis¬ 
tributed than last year. 
October brought us many woodcock but the 
main flight seemed to pass through about the 
middle of the month. We usually have a hard 
freeze by the 1st of November, and no more 
woodcock are to be found. These birds are 
more numerous in the United States than is gen¬ 
erally known, and I think that their greatest 
danger is climatic, sudden blizzards sweeping 
down into the Southland and routing the birds 
out of their safe retreats. If there is snow as 
far South as Columbia, S. C., the danger is con¬ 
siderable, as immense numbers of woodcock are 
forced down into exposed situations, and suffer 
for food. On one occasion I found them in 
Florida, but they begin to work back as soon as 
the weather moderates.
