REACH SHOOTING.

Much sport may be had upon the sea shore
by digging a deep trench in the sand on the
lonely Atlantic beaches where the robin snipe,
the sandpiper and the curlew, and now and
then a stray duck come sailing over the surf,
piping and whistling the whole day long.
Great slaughter is recorded as having been
occasionally committed upon these migratory
tribes. A noted gunner residing in Belport
is said to have killed LOG yellow legs by dis
charging both barrels of his gun into flock
while they were sitting along the beach. inns
is higher number than l should have hit
upon had been asked to venture an opinion
upon the result of very unusually successful
shot. Still il is entitled TO credit. Wilson
speaks of eighty-five red-breasted snipe being
killed at one discharge of musket. Audubon
mentions that he was present when 127 were
killed by discharging three barrels.
These extraordinary instances occurred many
years ago, bat. TO come down to modern days, 1t
is ON record that Mr.. Harry Folsom of Eliza
beth, N. j., killed thirty-eight red-breasted
snipe, one willet, three ''ox eyes" and one cur
lew with two barrels, while Mr.. Ed Summers
of the Now York athletic club beat this record
by three. I have myself killed twenty-sS
''teeter" snipe with one barrel, but this has
been beaten by others on many occasions
These examples, of course, must be regarded
as mere chance occurrences and are not to be
looked for as likely to happen every day. Still
if the shooter tries the sport in the right sea-
son. wind and weather favoring. he will not be
unusually fortunate if he fills big bag witt
the proceeds of days shooting.

The first essential is the building Of the
"blad' or blower" This should, in fact, be
done il possible the day before, to avoid alarm
ing any birds which may be lettering In the
vicinity. The more carefully the blind is con-
structed the better are the shooters chances.
Branches of trees, say an inch in thickness and
four or tve feet in length. must be cut and
carried to the spot. These must be driven
into the mud in semicircle facing the scald.

driest spot, Of course, and IL the shooter is
luxurious he will take a camp stool or some
other seat to the grounds with him, other
wise an old portion of rail fence will
serve, or moist mother earth herself
Meadow grass gathered and piled up in front
OF the blind adds to the deceptive effect. Care
should be taken to give the blind the appear
ance OF a natural growth. 1t should also be
built TO face down the wind if possible and to
be within Is or 20 feet Of the scald. Now wade
into the scald with your stools" These
should be set in the water In shallow spot
artistically grouped about feet apart. The
sticks upon which they stand should be driven
well into the bottom, so that the stools will be
about inches above the water. They should
be about 80 feet away from the blind. All these
preliminaries should be effected very early in
the morning, before dawn if possible. The
principal objection to blind shooting in very
many localities and one that intimidates almost
ali city sportsmen is the pest Of mosquitoes.

fired into the center of the flock with more or
less prodigious slaughter. Care should be taken
to reload at once. as the foch will frequently
afford you another shot by returning almost
instantly and circling, with their plaintive

The dead birds are often propped up with
sticks and added to the decoys, which completes
the delusion of the survivors.
The utmost watchfulness Is necessary, as the
birds have a marvellous habit at times of drop

Under the title of snipe shooting may be
classed all the species Of bay, shore, and
meadow birds which are to be found during
the spring and summer months. The bird
commonly known to gunners "a the English
snipe is hunted during April and May and is
rarely the sole object of the gunners' quest
again until the autumn. A few, however
hnger on the meadows in company with the
great host of their kindred.
MULTIPLICITY OF NAMES.
There is nothing more confusing to the tyro
than the multiplicity of the names which the
snipe family bears, and they vary in every part
Of the country. Thus the common '.yellow-leg
snipe" is known as the telltale, godwit, telltale
tattler, yelper, yellow shanks, .plover, stone
snipe, cu-cu, yellow shins, and dozen combi-
nations OF these names. This Is also true OF the
curlews, willets, plover, and other bay or up
land birds, so that it puzzles even the naturalist
to know what bird is really mentioned by the
gunners in the different localities.
They all bear q strong family resemblance
and have common traits. / will not enter into
any sort Of description Of the birds-that can
be easily procured-but give You a brief de-
scription of the manner in which they are
hunted. OF course the better and more sports
manlike proceeding is with good snipe dog
but, as good snipe dogs are exceedingly rare,
there are comparatively few who enjoy that
pleasure.
HOW THEY ARE HUNTED.
II you can borrow such dog you are fortu-
nate, and after you have donned tan-colored
shooting suit and hat, with a very high pair Of
rubber boots. you need only take your 10 or r.
gauge gun. loaded with No. 8 shot, 81 or So
drachms of any strong. coarse powder, and re-
pair to the chosen meadows. The hotter the day
the nearer you can approach the birds. Enter
the meadows from the windward, for the snipe
invariably rises against the wind. thus afford
ing you a fine cross shot. On hot days they
will rise slowly, instead Of darling away like
a fash Of lightning, ziS-zag9ing from side to
side, they do in the cool spring weather, and
they thus are easily shot.

Bugs That Laugh at Heat.

MY, who was visiting Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas b.

Leland Stanford, the millionaire Senator, whose
wife Is an aunt Of Woodward, and also Of Mrs.
Smith. Mr.. Woodward opened the box and

These bugs are more often read about than
gazed upon. They were found in caverns by
some of MIR. Stanford's employees and Mr.. STAN
ford sent them east. The three bugs Travelled
the 5, coo miles without visible means Of sup
port, unless IL was the cotton, but ON arriving
they were very risky and evidently in good
spirits. They are chunky little fellows about
2 inches long, and resemble nothing as much
as they do piece Of steel. They look like raw
steel and act like it-that is, they seem to be
metallic and invulnerable. They are alike in
sensible to heat and cold, and can be toasted

II the dog is good he will stand within easy
gunshot and allow you to approach and flush
the birds yourself. There is no use in s'call-
ing" OF whistling birds in this kind of hunting
Everything depends upon your dog and your
good fortune. All hours of the day may be
utilized. although early or late hours are rather
preferable.
A steady dog is necessary-that is a dog
staunch and immovable on his point and a
close hunter-fOr birds seem to fear dogs more
than man and will rarely allow a near approach.
One should shoot a little ahead of the bird. as
he is a fast flyer and the shot must be delivered
the instant he rises. In alighting the snipe
takes short pitch and dives to earth with
motion which once seen cannot be mistaken.
This is essential in marking down birds which
have been missed or wounded.
BAY AND MEADOW BIRDS.
But for summer snipe shooting, by which
term / mean all bay and meadow birds Of
the snipe family, the most successful and
pleasant method to pursue is that of
.blind" or blower" shooting, with the aid Of
''stools" and whistles. Plover, willet, curlew
and snipe are all easily shot in this manner in
the great salt or fresh water meadows Of New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Long
Island, and the sport is one that calls for skill
as well as patience ten. or at least twelve
guage gun IL necessary, and the usual shooting
suit of tan or brown and high boots. The
stools are for sale at all sportsmens stores and
represent a rather large species of bird, more
or less resembling the snipe. Ten or a dozen
are necessary. Arriving on the meadows select

deep ''scald" is a shallow pool of water
lying in the open and sunken places where no
grass grows and where the mud furnishes the
rich and succulent worm SO relished by the
snipe.
