RICHMOND COUNTY SHOOTING CLUB.

Tie members OF the Richmond County Shooting
CLUB, pursuant to notice, held meeting yesterday
at the office OF Messrs w. M. Parks & Co., No. 20
Broad street. In the absence OF the President MI.
G. $. Lampson was called to the chair. The object
OF the meeting was stated by Mr.. Parks, who said
that it had been informally agreed upon by the
members that they should leave their old haunts
at the Agricultural track and remove to the new
halt-mile track OF the sea View Park Associa t1on
grounds near the depot, New DorD, Staten Island
and now the authority was sought by the officers
to effect such change. Mr.. H. Henderson then Of
fered the following resolution, which was unani-
mousy adopted
Resolved. That the Richmond County Shooting Club
remove their tent traps &c, the hat-mile track
called Sea View Park Association occupied by
Thomas Luby.
The society subsequently empowered the officers
to make such removal or the clubs property
when, with expressions Of satisfaction III relation
to the prosperity OF the organization, the meeting
adjourned.
1t is held that this move will materially add to
the enjoyment OF the members OF the club and
increase Its list OF acceptable gentlemen, mas
much as 1t Is more accessible than the old grounds
and does away with O long and not infrequently
unpleasant ride over rough or muddy country
road. There will be much sport this winter on
the new grounds OF the club

To properly grind and whet a scytle require,
some little practical SKILL in the attainment Of
which the Beginner may be assisted hy a few
hints. The cutting edge of scyths or a similar
instrument, when examined by a microscope,
shows numerous fine projecting points, or series
of minute wedges which are to be driven into
the substance operated upon to separate the ad-
joining parts. In order that they may enter
direction of the stroke given with the blade of
the instrument In cutting with the scythe, the
edge strikes the grass at an angle of abant forty
five degrees, and hence the grinding should be
done a. to have the points set in the direction
to the blade. This is done by keeping the blade
firmly npon the stone, with the point down to-
wards the body of the holder, at the above men,
toned angle with the edge of the stone. Com
mence to grind at the heel, and move it steadily
along as the work progresses, until the point is
manner. Never rub the scythe back and forth
upon the stone rs though endeavoring to whet
it. The revolution Of the stone will wear away
the steel much better than rubbing it in this
manner, by which the edge is likely to he made
runndng and to be set irregular. 1t is prefcra-
Bile TO so hold the scythe that the stone will re-
volve towards the edge. In this way the holder
can see when the edge il reached, and the parti-
cles ground off are carried away clean. In the
opposite mode of grinding there is danger of max
ing feather edge, which will readily crnmbe
off and leave the scythe almost or quite dull
as before. The blade should be ground on both
sides equally. In wbctting a scythc, lay the rifle
or whetstone fiat against the side of the blade,
and give it Q light, quick stroke downward and
forward in the direction of the edge, No that the
scratches it makes shall keep the points set in
the same direction given them by grinding.
by following these simple suggestions, a scythe
may be made to hold its edge twice as long as
when the rifle is drawn along its edge almost ut
bile the workman to keep the right direction and
whct rapidly.
