ITHACA GUN COMPANY JOINS INTERSTATE 
ASSOCIATION. 
Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 30, 1915. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Please be kind enough to announce in the trap 
department of Forest and Stream that the Ithaca 
Gun Company, of Ithaca, New York, has been 
elected a member of The Interstate Association, 
and oblige.

UTICA FIELD AND GUN CLUB. 
Utica, N. Y., Feb. 7.—The new gun club has 
“arrived.” It has formed, elected its officers, 
appointed its committees to look up suitable 
shooting lodge sites and will incorporate right 
away as the “Utica Sportsmen’s Association, Inc.” 
As a result of the latest entrant, there will be 
three clubs shooting full blast within a month. 
E. J. Loughlin of the Genessee Gun Club an¬ 
nounces a shoot at his place for next Sunday, 
and the Utica Field & Gun Club is breaking clay 
right along. 
The new organization is made up of business 
and professional men almost exclusively, and 
represents quite a bit of coin. It is understood 
that the members are going to it on broad and 
ambitious lines with the idea of putting up a 
club house that will be quite an affair, and run¬ 
ning the club so that it will be quite an agree¬ 
able place for the lady shooters to go if they 
care to do so. For some time the lack of a gun 
club grounds has been deplored by the amateur 
Dianas of the city who would like to mix tea 
biscuits and sliced lemon with light loads and 
softly booted trap guns. Both of the older clubs 
have good grounds but unfortunately there are 
no shady, wide verandahs on the shooting shacks 
or suitable rooms for changing into shooting 
frocks. Those of the ladies who like to shoot 
are expecting that the new club will provide both. 
Dope has it that the new club house may be 
located in the vicinity of Utica Park, thus insur¬ 
ing crowds for every shoot, inasmuch as it would 
be the most easily reached of all the clubs. The 
committee on grounds is hustling around for a 
place and is to report at the next meeting. 
'When the club was organized the other night 
it was with the following officers: President, 
George L. Brayton; vice-president, Dr. F. T. 
Simmons; secretary, Jerome DeBee, who also be¬ 
longs to the Utica Field & Gun Club, and treas¬ 
urer, John J. Tritten, who thought of the idea 
first. These are the other men in the new or¬ 
ganization: R. S. Green, Charles A. Nelson, 
George F. Murray, J. H. Horrocks, Tom L. 
Davidson, W. R. Owens, George E. Fuller, E. C. 
Richards, Dr. F. S. DeLong, J. J. O’Neil, F. D. 
Curtis of Oriskany Falls, W. T. Cantwell, F. J. 
Sisson, A. B. Maynard, Dr. A. S. Mahady, E. V. 
Dibble, Henry G. Siem, F. M. Black, F. R. Latta, 
F. G. Morrison, W. C. Harris, F. B. Lee, Theo¬ 
dore Steinhorst, P. J. Blake, J. Phil Bannigan, 
C. H. Ballou, George W. Weaver, Jr., Tom W. 
Johnson, Delos M. Johnson, William Ainsworth, 
W. E. Corfield, and A. J. Ackert. 
Most of these men are well known in the local 
field as rabbit or bird hunters. A number of 
them are dog breeders of repute. Tom Johnson 
is the owner of Malwyd Rhoda, the clever little 
English setter bitch who is to be exhibited in 
the bench show of the Philadelphia Kennel Club 
this week.

John McCormack 
Favorite of Three Continents 
The most popular Concert Singer who has 
ever toured America, says: 
“I smoke Tuxedo because it is the 
mildest tobacco I have yet found; yet 
Tuxedo, with its mildness, is distin¬ 
guished by a rich flavor and fragrance 
that is unique 
“The Mildest Tobacco 
I Have Yet Found” 
You know John McCormack, the greatest lyric tenor of three continents; 
you have sat under the spell of his sweet, luscious Irish voice; you have 
admired his robust, magnetic personality. This wonderful singer gives 
more concerts in one season than any other great artist. He makes the 
most strenuous tours, from coast to coast, giving recitals night after night, 
rendering almost the entire programme himself. 
Under such exacting conditions, McCormack must be extremely careful 
of the tobacco he uses. Yet he smokes Tuxedo as freely as he wishes. Tuxedo 
refreshes his mind and body and does not the slightest harm to his voice. 
The Perfect Tobacco for Pipe and Cigarette 
T Tbink what it bespeaks for the mildness and soothing qualities of 
Tuxedo when the world s two greatest tenors—McCormack, lyric tenor, and 
Caruso, tenor robusto—-endorse its use. 
No matter how sensitive your throat and tongue may be you can safely 
smoke Tuxedo — and you 11 always find it mellow and pleasant, rich in 
fragrance, soft as cream in your mouth. 
Tuxedo absolutely cannot bite your tongue. The famous “Tuxedo 
Process has taken the last particle of bite out of the fine ripe leaves of 
choice Kentucky Burley from which TUXEDO is made.

Ideal Hand Book. 
The new Ideal Hand Book (No. 25) is now ready. The 
many thousands of shooters who know the book should 
write for a copy of the new edition at once. 
For the benefit of those shooters who have not been 
so fortunate as to have a copy of the Ideal Hand Book 
in the past; we are pleased to state that “The Ideal 
Hand Book of Useful Information for Shooters’ is a 
large 160 page book issued each year by The Marlin 
Firearms Co., and furnished without charge or obliga¬ 
tion to any shooter sufficiently interested to send three 
stamps postage for the book. The principal purpose of 
the book is to show that the modern cartridge is a simple 
thing—that any intelligent shooter using proper tools 
and good judgment, can reload his rifle, pistol and shot¬ 
gun ammunition understandingly. tie can adapt his 
loads exactly to his particular gun and his special re 
quirements—and enjoy a “hobby” that cuts down his 
shooting expenses considerably. 
It contains a world of useful information for shoot¬ 
ers, answering fully and clearly such questions as 
“What is a caliber—or gauge?” “What is the diameter 
of the bore in the various rifles? ” “What is the twist 
of rifling in any standard rifle? ” “What are the ballis¬ 
tics of the various cartridges? ” etc. It illustrates,
