J. J. Farrell, Sec’y. 
Tuckahoe Gun Club. 
Tuckahoe, N. Y., April 3. — Those members of the 
club who failed to show up on Saturday missed a bully 
time. The lowering skies of morning scared off some of 
the boys, but not a drop of rain fell to^ mar the after¬ 
noon’s sport. Everything worked ' well _ in Strang’s de¬ 
partment, about 1100 clays being sent sailing in response 
to the magic touch of J. H. Rogers. The first lot of the 
new buttons designed by Mr. Waddell are all gone; any 
members desiring these, please notify the captain. 
Jack Rabbit sweepstakes made quite a hit, and will be 
found on the next programme. The doubles came hard 
to most of us, only one member showing up well with 
both barrels; but they give good sport, and we hope 
to do better next time. 
The first leg on the April cup brought out eight en¬ 
tries. Packard and Wurster in the lead. The shoot of 
Amil 17 will decide the ownership of this trophy. 
Rogers came up with a full score for the first leg on 
the silver cup; Valentine and Wurster only a point be¬ 
hind. 
The Du Pont trophy shoot resulted in a win for Grind- 
rod. One more shoot will decide who carries home this 
valuable prize. 
There will be no shoot on April 10, but Saturday, April 
17 is the date to keep in mind. The scores follow: 
Events: 12345678 
Targets: 25 * 50 25 25 10 10 25

Handicaps apply to events 4 and 5, for the Dalton cup, 
and the April cup. Rogers won the first leg on the 
former, while Wurster, Valentine and Packard stand 
even on the first leg for the April cup.

trap gun in the world. It has imported Circassian walnut stock, hand-made, beautifully

A visitor to Florida can hardly make the trip without 
this book, if he is at all interested in angling. It gives a 
very complete list of the fishes of the Eiast Coast of 
Florida, and every species is illustrated by a cut taken 
from the best authorities. The cuts are thus of the most 
value to the angler who desires to identify the fish he 
takes, while the colored plates of the tropical fish shown 
in all their wonderful gorgeousness of coloring, are very 
beautiful. Besides the pictures of fish, there are cut* 
showing portions of the fishing tackle which the author 
uses. A good index completes the volume.

Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danyis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Lovel and 
Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books 
in the series, and the boy is young Sarn, their son, who 
grows up under the tuition of the coterie of friends that 
we know so well, becomes a man just at the time of the 
Civil War, and carries a musket in defense of what he 
believes to be the right.
