The “Forest and Stream” Trap Score Book 
Meets the needs of gun clubs and shooters in every particular. The 150 
sheets are heavily ruled—an advantage all scorers will appreciate, particu¬ 
larly 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 distinguish¬ 
able at a glance. 
The paper manifolds easily, and carbon sheets are placed in the book 
for that purpose. 
It contains the American Shooting Association Rules for Live-Bird 
Shooting, for Double Live-Bird Shooting, for Inanimate Target Shooting; 
Hurlingham Revised Live-Bird Rules for single and double rises, and the 
Rose System of dividing purses. Price, $ 1 . 00 .

ring at the huts during the day. 
•o make a bag of 70 or 80 pounds of trout 
lot a rare occurrence, and not long ago I 
ied far more than that, but they were not 
trout. A friend proposed that we should 
e e a night on the Rangitata, and try to get 
:ie fish for Christmas presents. His horse 
lie light of the drive to the huts, and about 
lat evening we rowed across the lagoon and 
ked along the shingle bank to the mouth, 
e sea was perfectly calm, and the long 
ers of a flood tide were sliding in over the 
; with a smooth sweep and fall, exactly as 
had hoped. At the end of the lagoon we 
i down for a smoke and to arm our traces 
h those terrible take-hold-of-everything in- 
ftions called silver Devons, while the sun 
■ dually descended, allowing the air to cool 
hr the scorching heat of the day. Small 
ipanies of shore birds were beginning to fly 
fthward to a roosting place further up the 
st, and among the rest nine black swans 
:sed low overhead and settled in a pool a 
ie away. Inland the distant hills looked 
le and misty in the northwest haze, with 
ie and there a patch of snow still whitening 
highest peaks. Over the river our view 
• shortened by a steep terrace, topped near- 
’o the sea by a long plantation of pine trees, 
1 southward a succession of downlands and 
>ded plains stretched far into the distance, 
lways in something of a hurry, my friend 
Iwas ready first, and I watched as he waded 
1 e-deep where the tide was stemming the 
rent, and made a trial cast. The minnow 
led out and fell, and in a moment his rod 
't with a series of vicious tugs. I heard 
1 reel go hard and long, and a wild shout 
It shows superiority in model, material 
and finish. It’s the one smooth working 
and perfectly balanced gun before the shoot¬ 
ing public to-day.
