SIDE LIGHTS OF TRADE. 
The Winchester Repeating Arms Co., New Haven, 
Conn., call attention to the supplemental chamber (list 
price, 60 cents) for the use of pistol cartridges in high- 
power rifles of all calibers, and to the Winchester model 
1906 extra light-weight .22cal. repeating rifle, list price

will be sent to all applicants. 
Parker Brothers write us that ‘“‘At the Grand Canadian 
Handicap, held at Hamilton, Ont., Jan. 16 to 19, the 
old reliable Parker gun was much in evidence. Thos. 
Upton, winner of the live-bird event, with a score of 34 
out of 35, is an exceptional record at live birds, and 
reflects credit upon the Parker gun. The first, secona 
and third amateur averages at targets were carried off by 
Parker guns in the hands of C. E. Doolittle, of Cleve- 
land; Jay D. Green, Avon, N. Y., and H. D. Kirkover, 
Jr., of Buffalo, respectively.” 

SOME FLORIDA FISHES. 
(Continued from page 188.) 
put on the hook (and but one hook should be 
used), passing it completely through the center 
of the body. Hook the fish—if you can—upon 
the slightest nibble being felt, otherwise you may 
lose your bait—and you will lose a good many 
despite every precaution—but then you will be 
able to take all the sheepshead you need in any 
event.” 
Tue Costa (Elacate canada).—This striking 
fish has received many local names, among them 
crab-eater, bonito, coalfish, sergeant fish, snooks 
and ling. One of the largest and most predaceous 
of the salt-water inhabitants, resembling an over- 
grown pike in appearance and manners, it is a 
conspicuous object of the angler’s search, and is 
capable of satisfying completely his ambition for 
a trial of skill. It reaches a length of five feet 
and a weight of 20 pounds. 
’ “The cobia is hardly common enough to rank 
as a game fish of Florida, while the snook is very 
abundant, and is a gamy, hard-fighting fish on 
the hook. The name ‘sergeant fish’ has been ap- 
plied to both fishes on account of the black stripes 
along their sides, and this name has led to most 
of the confusion of the two fishes by anglers. 
“The cobia can be taken with mullet or crab 
bait by casting under the mangroves in rather 
deep water, near the inlets. Striped bass tackle 
should be used, as it runs up to 20 or 30 pounds 
in weight, and is a very voracious, strong and 
active fish. 
“The snook or ravallia is taken in both brack- 
ish and fresh water almost anywhere along the 
coasts, in the bays, sounds and lower parts of 
streams with mullet, crab or fiddler bait, or with 
the trolling spoon. It is a vigorous, hard fighter, 
and good tackle is required for its capture. A 
light striped bass rod, multiplying reel, braided 
E line, and 3-0 to 6-0 Sproat hooks, with gimp 
snell, are about right for the snook up to 15
