HUNTING and FISHING 
Quebec and the Maritime Provinces 
The Foreword Says: 
While Quebec and the Maritime Provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia were the 
earliest settled portions of Canada, they still remain its best big game territory-in fact, 
the latter statement could be extended so as to include the whole of the North American 
continent, and there would be no exaggeration. There are hundreds of square miles of 
forests and barrens where the moose, caribou, deer and bear roam as free as did their kind 
a hundred years ago-nay, in the case of the moose, caribou and deer, they are distinctly 
better off than were their forebears, owing to the strict enforcement of the Provincial 
game laws, which is also accountable for the marked increase of these denizens of the 
forests in recent years. 
Excellent wild fowl shooting is to be obtained. Duck, partridge, plover, woodcock, 
snipe, are plentiful, and the fall shooting of geese, duck and brant are worthy of special 
mention. 
The guides are well organized and can properly outfit and equip parties for an outing 
that may last two or three weeks or more, having chains of camps furnished with every¬ 
thing the hunter may require, and the necessary camp wagons and canoes. 
The sportsman will be told the kind of game and fish to be procured, and how and 
where to procure it, the guides and their charges, the best outfitting places, the hotel 
and boarding house accommodation, the fish and game laws of the various provinces, 
customs regulations, with useful hints as to the proper equipment.

lots of near straights with 13 sauce. This the 
Louisiana State Championship day was by far 
the feature day of the shoot. The program call¬ 
ed for 200 targets, all registered, divided into five 
and four 25 target events the last four events, 
(100 targets) was the championship race. There 
were seventeen bona fide residents of Louisiana 
who qualified to take part in this race, J. T. Aus¬ 
tin, R. W. Dodd, J. E. Ribb, H. A. Suehr ^ 
0 Warren, J. B. Hombeck, J. Norsworthy, W. 
W. Cocke, G. M. Macmurdo, J. B. Tisdale, L. 
Henry, H. D. Wadley, J. B. Gravely, 
Joe Bell, J. G. Marsten, Ed. Dickinson, 
J M. Eastham. Austin, of Monroe, who won 
the 1914 championship with 98 was picked to win, 
then came J. B. Tisdale as next choice but you 
cannot always sometimes tell. In the first event 
Suehr broke all of his, and six of the others 
broke 24, Austin, Cocke, Wadley, Bradley, East- 
ham and Ribb. In the next time up the grand 
balloon ascension took place and such a collec¬ 
tion of perfectly good targets which landed on 
the green without a scratch you never saw be¬ 
fore. Austin did not miss but six, Eastham and 
Dickinson 6 and Norsworthy 9 which put these 
gentlemen in the peanut gallery with visions of 
the Grand American fast fading away. 
Ribb was steady in the second and only let 
one slip by which made him only two down out 
of the fifty and the race looked to be between him, 
Tisdale, Wadley, Cocke, Suehr, Macmurdo. The 
third inning, Ribb let 3 by unmolested, Tisdale 
dropped 2, Wadley 2, Cocke 2, Suehr 3 > Mac¬ 
murdo went straight. In the last frame, with 
every shooter and spectator on the ground and 
all congregated around trap No. 1, which was 
named the “Jonah” account of the trouble the 
field captain had keeping it in working order, 
these six gentlemen all nice and pale with every 
nerve! strained to its breaking point walked up 
in turn determined to cop the coveted State 
championship, the last of the race looked to be 
only between Ribb, Wadley, Cocke and Macmurdo 
as the two former were down 5 each out of the 
75 and the two latter 6 each. In the final one 
James E. Ribb came back strong and only missed 
1, Wadley 3, Cocke 5, Macmurdo 3. Ribb won 
the State Championship with 94 out of the cent¬ 
ury and Tisdale finishing straight was the run¬ 
ner up with 93. Dodd, after having missed 7 
out of his first 50, came back in the last and shot 
like a house on fire breaking 49 tieing Wadley 
for the third place and in the snoot off defeat 
Wadley for the third Interstate Association 
tiophy, Macmurdo won the fifth, Seuhr sixth, 
and Warren and Cocke tied for seventh and in 
the shoot off Cocke defeated Warren 2 targets. 
Saturday August 7th, the last day, was by far 
the best for the shooter to make good scores, and 
by the way there were several nice ones piled 
up and business picked up in the jewelry depart¬ 
ment of the DuPont and Hercules Powder Co. 
as there were several nice long runs made on 
this the last of the program. The catalogue 
called for 150 targets, all registered, divided into 
five 20 target and two 25 target events the last 
two of which was the the three-men team champ¬ 
ionship of the U. S., which was won by Nash¬ 
ville, Tenn., five other teams competing.
