Why Duck and Quail Shooting Is Poor
at Present.

Why Duck and Quail Shooting Is Poor
at Present.
Sportsmen are having very poor shooting
st present either on the marshes or up
lands.
The hills are In need of a soaking to
make quail-shooting pleasure. aud so far
as duck-shooting Is concerned it appears
that the sport Is poor In all quarters.
The migratory birds have not arrived in
sufficient numbers from the north 10 make
shooting worth the going after.
II is certain, however, that the frst good
storm will bring with il plenty of game.
and local sportsmen can then depend on
good results.
Letters from the northern counties give
very fiatterlng accounts of the excellent
duck-shoOtng that is TO be had on the rivers
and lakes adjacent 10 the ocean. OF course,
the sport that is now being enjoyed by ''the
northerners" will end when the Quackers
can depend upon having a wet further
south.
There are many high priced guns ruined
because their owners did not understand
how TO clean them properly. The following
good advice from an experienced hand will,
no doubt be or interest to many sDortsmen !:
Very frequently / have had my attention
called TO the rife and shotgun barrels
which were very badly pitted aud rusted,
and absolutely ruined SO far as accurate
shooting was concerned. Upon inQuirlng
OF the several parties as TO how they cleaned
their barrels / found not single instance
where the proper method of cleaning and
oiling the inside of barrels was known. l
occurs 70 me, therefore, that some of your
readers might be Interested in knowing the
method / have used for years in cleaning
and oiliDg barrels, involving but q single
point upon which, In my opinion, hinges
the cause Of this pitting and rustiDg of the
in ide OF barrels.
Most sportsmen, after using their wea-
pons, clean them thoroughly aud then in,-
mediate.y oil The inside OF barrels with
vaseline, sperm oil, Belmontyle oil or Para
vaseline-all good articles for the purpose
il properly used Where the mistake is
made is in oiling the barrels Immediately
after the first cleaning they receive after
being used; 20 oil al this time is almost sure
to cause pitting and rusting. Ii barrels
are thoroughly cleaned and dried after
using and laid away for twenty-four hours
aud inside Of barrels then examined II will
be found to be perfectly black, which Is
caused by some residuum of the powder
gases. Here Is where tile trouble comes in.
Ii inside OF O barrel is oiled before this
black deposit is thoroughly wiped out a
second time, the oil unites with the black
deposit and forms an acid, which does tho
pittlng and rusting so frequently noticed.
Ii the barrel Is cleaned after being used.
then laid away for twenty-four hours. then
the black deposit thoroughly wiped cut with
a dry wooden rag and then inside OF barrel
covered with light coating of Belmontyls
oil, the arm can be laid away for an iudefi-
mite time without fear Of the barrel pitting
or rusiing

A Report That tho Irish Champion VIII

According TO New York paper Lawlor.
the champion player OF Ireland, will visit
this coast some time this winter purposely
to see some of bis old Irish friends and ar
range a series Of games with any Of the
players OF this city who can find backing to
the extent of four or five hundred dollars.
The Irishman. who has given up the idea
Of meeting either Jones or Riordan In any
OF the courts east of the mountains, will
leave the lion, SO 10 speak. In its own den.
There Is no doubt but that Riordan would
give LAWYER Q great game IL the latter
should consent to play for gate money and
the sport that is attached to an interna-
tloDal contest.
Jones can certainly find backing to the
extent OF $500 or $500, which, with the gate
receipts, would mako . very nice sum for
the winner OF series OF contests.
IL is hoped that Mr.. Lawlor will visit the
coast There are several hundred lovers Of
