“If you are wise”’ 
HITTING vs. MISSING. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow”). Cloth. Price, $1. 
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 less effec- 
tive with cthers.

Delaware Championship. 
On the grounds of the Dover, Del., Gun Club, on 
Feb. 7, Mr. Alden B. Richardson, holder of the trophy 
emblematic of the championship of Delaware, defended 
his title successfully against another renowned trap- 
shooter, Mr. Edward Banks, of Wilmington, Del. The 
scores were up to true championship form, Mr. Richard- 
son scoring 93 to Mrs. Banks’ 90. Mr. Banks was suffer- 
ing from a severe cold, which no doubt had some hamp- 
ering effect on his shooting. The contest evoked keen 
interest on the part of the Delaware shooters. 
The weather conditions were slightly unfavorable. 
The 100 targets were shot in strings of 25, In the first 
round each broke 23. In the second round Mr, Rich- 
ardson broke 22 against 21 for Mr. Banks. In the third 
round he broke 23 against 22 for his opponent, and in the 
last round he make 25 straight. The scores: 
A B Richardson. sce os «secoeeee ener 23° 22-238) 26 93 
Edward /Banks) ccc s cece eee enti 23° 21 22) 24 90 
It is likely that the next championship race will be 
between Mr. Richardson and C. L. Terry, of Camden, as 
the latter is anxious for a chance at the title. ‘ 
A team race between Wawaset and Dover was an inter- 
eslting added feature. The Dover shooters were those 
who shot on the Wilmington team in the recent tri-city 
contest. There were three men on each team, 50 targets 
per man, and these scores were made: 
Wawaset—Squire 45, McHugh 40, Banks 47; total 182. 
Dover—Terry 37, Reed 42, Richardson 46; total 125. 

Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
BELLEVUE, Ky., Feb. 3.—At the weekly shoot of the 
Northern Kentucky Gun Club to-day there was a fair 
attendance. The day was dark, with a stiff breeze blow- 
ing, which interfered with the flight of targets and made 
shocting difficult. It was a case of shake right to hit.

PUBLISHERS’ DEPARTMENT. 

The famous fluted spoon baits manufactured by G. M. 
Skinner, of Ciayton, N. Y., are known all along our 
Northern waters, and in many parts of the world besides. 
For example, they have taken a medal at the Industrial 
Exhibition at Bergen, Norway, in 1898. From very small 
beginnings the manufacture of these lures has increased, 
until now a number of different sorts of bait are made, 
not only for trolling, but for casting, fly-fishing and 
other purposes.
