BIG GAME AT SEA 
■I 
By Charles Frederick Holder. 
Annals of Sport Royal on Salt Water 
No one is more qualified to speak with authority on 
big ga.tie fishing than Mr. Holder. His latest book will 
be found to meet all the expectations of the angler 
whose appetite has been whetted by his shorter narratives. 
“Big Game at Sea” is the work of a student as well as 
a sportsman. It contains much valuable material relating 
to the habits and history of deep sea fishes with inter¬ 
esting deductions, and plenty of stirring narrative and 
reminiscence. The book is copiously and handsomely 
illustrated, printed on heavy paper and beautifully bound.

Batavia, N. Y., Feb. 12.—A number of the boys from 
the surrounding towns joined us to-day, twenty-nine 
shooters in all. 'We had a blizzard Thursday, but to-day 
was fine and clear, one of those days when it is a shame 
to stay in the house. 
In the regular club programme, Tomlinson and Walls 
tied in actual kills, 39 out of 50. The handicap, how¬ 
ever, gave the point in class A to Walls, and Farweil won 
Class B point. 
Points to date: Class A, Wails and Gardiner, 3 each; 
Tomlinson, 2; 39, Keyes and Watson, 1 each. Class B, 
Cheeseman 3; Farweil and Brumber, 2 each; C. Robson 1. 
After the club programme, we ran an open programme 
of sweeps and special events. Scores follow:

Mr. H. B. Febiger, New Orleans, La., shot high aver¬ 
age. We understand he is to be in this vicinity for 
some months, and we hope he will shoot with us regu¬ 
larly. From the way he eats up quartering birds we 
are of the opinion it would be worth the price of ad- 
rnission to see him shoot in the field. He is glad he 
didn’t get 20 in the 25-bird sweep—19 paid better, for he 
was alone. 
Mr. U. M. C. Kelsey, of Buffalo, was with us to-day. 
Ceme again. 
Luther’s score wasn’t very high, but what’s the differ¬ 
ence? We all had to begin. 
Tomlinson and Gardiner each got a 10 straight at 
20yds. 
Prentice was kicking about his score. Never mind, 
Louis, we all shoot in streaks. 
Brumber was high gun in three out of five club events. 
In the first open event he was high, 14 out of 15, and 
alone, but for targets only. Get in the sweeps next time, 
John. 
Cash was going some for a beginner, 13 out of 15, and 
20 out of 25. 
Business has kept Farweil away more than half of the 
time this winter, but it doesn’t make much difference. 
He was high four out of five club events. 
Crandell certainly likes the game, and he got his 
money back in the sweeps. By the way, he says the 
Churchill, N. Y., Club has applied for a registered tour¬ 
nament. Watch for their date. 
Always glad to see Childs. Bring the Doctor and his 
wife next time. 
Look out for Walls. He got the last two points in 
Class A. 
The Interstate Association has approved our seventh 
annual tournament, Wednesday, Aug. 18, 1909. We add 
$50 and also offer a very attractive merchandise. Ask 
any one who attended our last shoot. The second leg 
for the Western New York championship Walls L. Rich¬ 
mond cup will be shot for at this tournament. Mr. Ed¬ 
ward Cox, of Buffalo, won the first leo;, and any three 
wins takes the cup, in which event the Holland Gun 
Club will put up another cup. Mr. Cox will draw down 
50 per cent, of the entrance at the 1909 tournament, 
whether he shoots or not. The 1909 winner will dra.w 
down 50 per cent, of the 1910 entrance. Mark Aug. 18 
on your calendar. If you didn’t get our 1909 programme, 
send us your address for our mailing list. 
Chas. W. Gardiner, Pres. 
Indianapolis Gun Club. 
Indianapolis, Ind. — The members of the Indianapolis 
Gun Club had everything that they could desire in the 
way of moderate temperature for their weekly shoot on 
Saturday afternoon, Feb. 13, but the dark background 
and hazy atmosphere made the shooting exceedingly 
difficult. The presence of three popular trade repre¬ 
sentatives, LeCompte, \'an Nest and Barr, helped to 
dispel the gloom without, and to make the occasion 
more cheerful. 
Michaelis won the day’s event of the members’ trophy 
contest, with a score of 41 out of 50 targets, shooting 
from the initial distance of 15 yards rise. The scores 
made in this event were: *LeCompte 46, Michaelis 41, 
Hillis 40, *Van Nest 39, Britton 39, Brennan (18) 38, 
*Barr 37, Denny (20) 37, Miller 36, Hymer 36, Lewis 35, 
Dixon (20) 32, Anderson 31 and Neighbors 27.
