HITTING vs. MISSING. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow”). -Cloth. Price, $1.00. 
. 
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 shcoting, 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 
cf 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 effective 
with others.

SPORT WITH THE RAINBOWS. 
WuiLe things were so quiet on the river on 
the opening day, members of the Golden Carp 
Association were enjoying some of the most 
sensational sport in their experience. About 
twelve months ago, says the Bristol Evening 
News, the committee of the Golden Carp As- 
sociation decided to make an experiment with 
ra.snbow trout in their pond at Highbridge, and 
accordingly in November last 100 two-year-olds, 
measuring about 10 inches in length, were 
turned into the water. The committee were 
anxious as to how the experiment would turn 
out, and) some members of the Association, who 
profess to know a good deal of the habits of 
rainbow trout,* went so far as to predict -that 
the investment would be a bad one. What has 
really happened, however, has been quite sen- 
sational. In March last one member visited 
the pond and did nothing else but land® trout, 
and, in accordance with the rule governing the 
experiment, return them to the pond after 
noting their size and condition. Although the 
fish were then in good condition, they did not 
appear to have grown. 
On the opening day of the present season 
at Highbridge, four members decided to fish 
the pond, and on arrival there they were met 
by Mr. Wheeler, who gave them some hope by 
telling them that two or three weeks before— 
as a matter of fact, more particularly on May 
28—he had seen what in the whole of his 25 
years’ knowledge of the pond, he had never seen 
before. The four gentlemen who heard this 
story thought the fish were moving at last, and 
were quite hopeful of banking some of them. 
None of them, however, anticipated the excite- 
ment that was in store for them. Almost as 
soon as the tackle was in the water, floats dis- 
appeared, and the next instant the astonished 
anglers saw their trout leaping from the water 
30 yards away. What sport! Mr. Wakefield 
and Mr. Farmiloe had a curious experience. 
The latter hooked a fish, and, seeing it making 
direct for Mr. Wakefield, shouted out a warn- 
ing; but it was too late. The tackle became 
entangled, and both anglers had to play the same 
fish the best way they could. To make matters 
worse, during the fight another fish seized Mr. 
Wakefield’s bait, and the excitement that fol- 
lowed can easily be imagined. However, both 
fish were landed. On two occasions a trout got 
fast on baits attached to A. N. Other’s tackle 
on two rods, and altogether in an hour this 
gentleman created his record by taking ten 
brace. Between the four rods over sixty trout 
were landed, but every single fish was returned. 
On Monday, Mr. R. D. Frost, Mr. Fred, Cox, 
and another member of the association tried 
the pond, and then there was a lot more excite- 
ment, fifteen fish being taken and returned. 
As to the condition of the fish, they are mak- 
ing remarkable progress. The largest trout 
landed by Mr. Fariniloe in March was 10 inches 
in length and weighed about 34 of a pound; on 
the opening day of this season. only three 
months having elapsed, several of the fish were 
15’ inches in length and weighed 2 pounds. 
Paking all the conditions into consideration, 
this growth is extraordinary. The fish are in 
the pink of condition, and went off fresh and 
lively when returned to the water. When the 
time arrives when the members will be allowed 
to take the fish away, it will be necessary for 
le committee to fix a limit as to the number 
of fish. It must be remembered, however, that 
these trout are now young and green; the more 
they are pricked, the more wary they will be- 
come, 


AMMUNITION-MAKING MACHINERY. 
Consut. Abert Hausteap, of Birmingham, 
writes of the proposed construction by the 
Norwegian Govxernment of a factory capable 
of supplying all the requirements of the army 
of that country. He states that it appears to 
him this is an opportunity for American makers 
of ammunition and gun machinery to make 
tenders to the Christiania Government to sup- 
ply the factory equipment.
