FOREST AND STREAM 
[Oct. 15, 1910. 
home in Australia. Paddy killed 75 birds out of a pos¬ 
sible 100. He was a good hand at live pigeon and 
sparrow shooting, and says that with a little more prac¬ 
tice he could put up creditable scores. Clarke broke 53 
white flyers out of a possible 125, while Cy’s total was 
31 out of 75. 
Honors of the day went to John Geiger, who broke 133 
targets out of 150, and won a match with Rube Waddell 
by a score of 21 to 24. The Rube also did some very 
good shipoting. Out of 200 targets be broke all but 39. 
At one time Waddell had broken 24 birds straight, and he 
missed a perfect score by dropping his last bird. 
The James E. Wheaton medal, which was won last 
week by James J. Ouinn, was awarded Tuesday. Quinn 
was the only contestant in the medal shoot whose ag¬ 
gregate score, with handicap added amounted to 200 . 
The total birds shot at was 200. Frank Mihlon and 
Roland Hopper were close to Ouinn in the trophy race. 
Club members predict that if Quinn keeps up his good 
work he will rank as one of the best marksmen in the 
State. 
An all day sweepstake shoot will be held over the 
Macaulay traps on Saturday, Oct. 22. The firing will 
commence at 10 o’clock and the two traps will be used. 
The feature of the day will be the ten-man team match 
between the Business Men’s Gun Club and the Crescent 
Gun Club, of Whitehouse Station. It is likely that the 
match between John Geiger, of the Macaulay Gun Club, 
and R. C. Stryker, secretary of the Crescent Club, will 
be shot on the same day. The conditions call for 50 
birds each at $ 1.00 a bird. 
The following are the scores made Tuesday, Oct. 4:

Haddonfield Gun Club. 
Haddonfield, N. J., Oct. 3. — Capt. Cozens opened the 
fall shooting season of the Haddonfield Gun Club Sat¬ 
urday, Oct. 1, with a 25-target event, termed the monthly 
prize handicap shoot. Thirteen gunners faced the traps. 
Some very creditable shooting was done considering the 
long absence of the boys from the firing line. Only once 
since the league shoots last spring has the club held a 
shoot. 
Jos. Pedloe and Jos Dungan tied for first prize. Ped- 
loe forfeited to Dungan on account of a painfully swol¬ 
len face, occasioned by an ill-fitting gun recoiling sharply 
against his cheek bone. Samuel Bergen took second 
prize. He landed in a safe place all alone. Third prize 
was tied for by Messrs. Webster, Eyster, Heist and 
Stafford. Eyster won the shoot-off. 
Ex-Captain Holloway demonstrated his ability to break 
targets from the 21yd. mark in a try at 50 discs; he 
smashed 47. Fred is getting in form for the tournament 
Oct. 15.

Hyde Park Gun Club. 
Cincinnati, O.—There was a nice lot at the weekly 
shoot on Oct. 8 , and among the shooters were a couple 
nev f °ues. _ Webster did well in his first attempt, and 
Wuerdeman improved on his work at a previous shoot. 
The first-named never shot over the traps before, and the 
latter has attended only two or three shoots. Hattersley 
is coming back again, and was high to-day with 92. John 
Stevenson is home from his camp on the Miami River, 
and will be on hand every week from now until hot 
weather. His summer’s rest seems to have benefited 
him, as he shot better to-day than when he left last 
spring. Messrs. Schaefer, Phillips, Eustis, Rugg and 
Stevenson, put in a part of their time on the club’s re¬ 
volver range. This sport is becoming a favorite with 
some of the members, and they put up some good scores:

Zettler Rifle Club. 
New 'i ork. — The thirty-sixth annual shoot of the Zet¬ 
tler Rifle Club, of New York, was held at Union Hill 
Schuetzen Park, Sept. 27. The tournament was a suc¬ 
cess in every way. The attendance was good, although 
a good many of the regulars were missing. Among 
these were President Maurer, S. N. Murphy, F. L. Smith, 
L. C. Buss, C. E. Taylor, Dr. Hudson, etc. The 
weather was fine in the morning, but heavy rains in the 
afternoon. The scores were up to the usual mark, 
Hubalek and Hunsiker leading on the ring target with 
73 and 72. Gus Zimmerman was high on the bullseye 
target, with C. A. Schrag a close second. Wm. Hayes 
won the beautiful trophy presented by the Zettler Bros., 
while G. W. Reinecke captured the judges’ prize.

FOREST FIRE PROTECTION. 
One of the lessons which will finally be 
drawn from the trying experience of the present 
forest fire season, in the belief of officials of the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture, is the need 
of wider organization among private owners of 
timber to safeguard their holdings. It is pointed 
out that already in the Northwest, both on the 
Pacific Coast and in Montana and Idaho, tim- 
berland owners have formed themselves into 
an association which assesses the members on 
an acreage basis and thus meet the cost of 
maintaining a regular patrol and fire-fighting 
organization. Only by getting together can 
private owners usually assure themselves pro¬ 
tection, for fire is no respecter of boundary 
lines, and the man who undertakes to keep it 
out of his own timber will want it kept out 
of his neighbor’s too. Wherever possible the 
Government’s forest officers co-operate with 
the force put in the field by the associations, 
so that the employees of the Government and 
those of the private owners are handled prac¬ 
tically as a unit in fighting the common enemy. 
This co-operation is advantageous to both 
sides. Protection of the National Forests 
necessarily carries with it a good deal of pro¬ 
tection of adjoining or interior holdings. If 
the private owners would everywhere shoulder 
their reasonable share of the burden, the public 
would gain both through more general forest 
conservation and through relief from the neces¬ 
sity of paying for the protection of private 
timber in order to protect its own. 
CAT AND FOX. 
In a recent number of a German sporting 
paper a forester describes a scene which he 
witnessed in a clearing in the forest. 
He came one afternoon upon a big black cat, 
occupied apparently in the pursuit of mice, and 
from the shelter of a tree he watched its move¬ 
ments through a field glass. After a few 
minutes an old fox made its appearance. Slink¬ 
ing slowly forward toward the cat. it lav down 
within a few steps of it, ready to spring. 
The cat had observed its enemy, but beyond 
keeping a sharp lookout on its movements, it 
made no sign. Shortly a young fox joined the 
old one, and almost immediately bounded at the 
cat, which sprang aside and struck its assailant 
so efficaciously across its face with its sharp 
claws that it retired as quickly as it came. 
After an interval the old fox, advancing slowly 
and carefully, made its attack; but the result 
was the same, the cat, spitting and hissing, 
struck out hard, and the fox retired discomfited. 
A minute afterward it again sprang forward, 
but this time the cat got much the best of it 
and was left in peace. 
RESEMBLANCE NOT EVIDENT. 
Reports from the woods show that the evil 
of the hunting season, the persistent shooting 
of men for deer, is as prevalent this year as 
ever. To a reader in the city the resemblance 
between a man in a check suit, with heavy hunt¬ 
ing boots and a pipestem-legged, bounding 
quadruped, is not evident. No doubt to the im¬ 
patient huntsman, who has only a week or ten 
days in the woods and feels it incumbent to 
shoot something, these things seem otherwise.—
