Capt. C. G. Blandford writes us that “the first club 
shoot of the season of the Ossining Gun Club, will be 
held on Saturday afternoon from 2 to 4. The prize 
event for six prizes will be at 50 targets, and handicaps 
"'ill be liberally allowed to those who are classed as 
new shoote-s. Shells will be for sale on the grounds 
snd guns vill be loaned to those who are not as yet 
provided Non-members are always welcome to shoot 
along.’

The Parkersburg Gun Club Tournament. 
The second registered tournament of the Parkersburg, 
W. Va., Gun Club. Sept. 28-29, is over, and those pres¬ 
ent will not soon lorget the delightful manner in which 
they were entertained. The club tendered the visiting 
shooters a banquet the evening of the first day of the 
tournament, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. It was 
served in the banquet hall of the beautiful home of the 
Elks’ lodge, and by the happy selection of the Hon. 
Frank P. Moats as toastmaster, all were made to feel 
perfectly at home, and he was unanimously voted a 
prince of good fellows. A number of the visiting shoot¬ 
ers made short speeches in which it was brought out that 
they looked forward to the social part of the programme 
of the Parkersburg Gun Club fully as much as to the 
shooting. 
The tournament was a success in every particular, some 
forty-three shooters participating. Conditions for record- 
breaking exhibitions were not ideal the second day, a 
stiff wind causing the targets to perform some very un¬ 
looked-for stunts occasionally. Under the conditions, the 
shooting of Mr. Woolfolk Henderson, of Lexington, Ky., 
and William Webster, of Columbus, O., who won first 
and second high average, was remarkable. A splendid 
prize was provided by the club for the high professional, 
a handsome traveling bag of black walrus leather, which 
was won by Mr. E. H. Taylor, Mr. Luther Squier fin¬ 
ishing second. The special prize of a suit of clothes to 
the high amateur was won by Mr. Henderson on the 
splendid score of 384 out of 400. 
A special merchandise event was shot each day, in 
which ten prizes were provided. The winners the first 
day were E. Franklin 25, Ed. Bower, Geo. Steinbauer, 
Ed. Cain, Dr. Shattuck, W. T. McCormick, 24 each; 
T. S. Bibbee, R. P. Powell, William Webster and A. G. 
Higginbotham, 23 each. 
The second day the winners were E. Franklin, T. S. 
Bibbee, W. Llenderson, Wm. Webster, 24 each; J. M. 
Speary, M. J. Rathbone, Geo. Steinbauer, 23 each; 
L. G. Gribble and C. B. Brown, 22 each; Ed. Bower 
and L. G. Lantz, 21 each. In the shoot for the pigeon 
grade Ithaca gun. Dr. L. G. Gribble, of Pomeroy, O., 
led the field. This was a handicap shoot, the handicap 
being arranged by adding targets to be shot in addition 
to the original 25. The handicap was so arranged that 
one target should be taken from each participant’s allow¬ 
ance after each tie, which would bring all to shoot from 
scratch finally. Dr. Gribble shot a splendid race, break¬ 
ing 96 out of 100 to win from Ed. O. Bower, the runner- 
up. Appended are the scores: 
Sept. 28, First Dry.

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 illustration*. 
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 give* a 
very complete list of the fishes of the Blast 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 desides 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.
