FOREST AND STREAM 
abundance of sun and a deluge of wind, which 
seemed to be playing hide and seek with itself 
by blowing from almost every point of the com¬ 
pass at once. 
Out on the ocean sands, where the sun at least 
simulated warmth upon the white beach, a soli¬ 
tary figure paced slowly along, fishpole in hand, 
line somewhere out in the breakers, and eyes 
straight out to sea, forgetful of the wind, the 
cold, the season and everything else, possibly ex¬ 
cept the hooking of a fish. 
Curiosity prompted a visit to the lone watch¬ 
man of the pebbles on the shore, and much to 
the surprise of the intruder the solitary fisher¬ 
man was discovered to be none other'than one 
of the most zealous disciples of Izaak Walton, 
who lives on Manhattan Island. After reaching 
the shore line it was ascertained that he was not 
alone, for both to the east and to the west there 
were other figures, at long intervals, pacing 
methodically along the water line, reeling in 
after a cast with as much zeal as if it were mid¬ 
summer and they were assured of at least one 
strike every fifteen minutes. 
After the first exclamations of astonishment 
had subsided, when fisherman and visitor recog¬ 
nized one another, the man with the line con¬ 
fessed that he made at least one visit monthly 
during the winter to Long Beach, whenever he 
thought he could find an onshore breeze and a 
little sun, and he insisted that in five years, or so 
his luck had been good enough to repay him for 
his trouble. 
But Long Beach is not the only place for win¬ 
ter sport. The fishermen of Babylon are always 
on the lookout for the cold weather anglers, and 
so long as the steamers run o<ut to the fishing 
banks, there will always be somebody on board 
to try for cod and ling. Occasionally, too, there 
are fishermen, not far from Central Park and 
104th street, who have been known to travel to 
the lakes within forty miles of New York, and 
after fishing - half the day through the ice return 
with tales that are worth telling—and occasionally 
some fish.—New York Telegram. 
SHAD ACCOUNTED FOR. 
Engineers report that the Hudson River is 
bottomless. Oh, well! That’s where the shad 
have gone.—New York Evening Telegram.

Where, When and How to Catch 
Fish on the East Coast of Florida. 
By Wm. H. Gregg, of St. Louis, Mo., assisted by Capt. 
John Gardner, of Ponce Park, Mosquito Inlet, Fla. 
With 100 engravings and 12 colored illustrations. 
Cloth. Illustrated. 268 pages. Map. Price, $4.00. 
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 East 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 cuts 
showing portions of the fishing tackle which the author 
uses. A good index completes the volume.

HITTING vs. MISSING. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow”). Cloth. Price, $1.00. 
Mr. Hammond enjoys among his field companions the 
repute of being an unusually good shot, and one who is 
particularly successful in that most difficult branch of 
upland shooting, the pursuit of the ruffed grouse or 
partridge. This prompted the suggestion that he should 
write down for others an exposition of the methods by 
which his skill was acquired. The result is this original 
manual of “Hitting vs. Missing.” We term it original, 
because, as the chapters will show, the author was self- 
taught; the expedients and devices adopted and the forms 
of practice followed were his own. This then may be 
termed the Hammond system of shooting; and as it 
was successful in his own experience, being here set 
forth simply and intelligibly, it will prove not let* effec¬ 
tive with others.

Bears I Ha.ve Met—And Others. 
By Allen Kelly. Paper. 209 pages. Price, 60 cent*. 
After some years of peaceful slumber, Mr. Kelly’* most 
excellent book of bear stories was roused to life by a 
recent criticism of Mr. Seton, the question being where 
Mr. Seton got his material for his bear stories, for * 
number of people suggested that it was taken from Mr. • 
Kelly’s book. With the merits of this controversy “our¬ 
selves have naught to do,” but the matter in Mr. Kelly’* 
book is excellent, interesting and worthy of pretty much 
any author.

The “Forest and Stream” 
TRAP SCORE BOOK 
meets the needs of gun clubs and shooters in every par¬ 
ticular. The 150 sheets are heavily ruled—an advantage 
all scorers will appreciate, particularly when working in 
a dim light. The horizontal spaces are numbered from 
1 to 30. Broad perpendicular lines divide these into 
groups of five, which aids the eye of the scorer greatly. 
Similar heavy lines divide the perpendicular spaces into 
groups of six; thus the squads are distinguished at • 
glance. 
The paper manifolds easily, and carbon sheets are 
placed in the book for that purpose. . 
It contains the American Shooting Association Rule* 
for Live-Bird Shooting, for Double Live-Bird Shooting, 
for Inanimate Target Shooting, Hurlingham Revi»«d 
Live-Bird Rules for single and double rises, and the 
Rose System of dividing purses. Price, $1.
