THE WESTEND GUN CLUB.
The West-End Gun Club was organized
in the spring of 1880, with a membership
Of three. 1t held weekly shoots in an
old field behind the Expostion-Grounds.
Its property at that time consisted OF
three clay pigeon traps and one glass
bail trap. each released by a rope pulled
by hand
With the growing interest in trap-shoot-
ing, it was soon discovered that these
traps and rope-pulls were not IN keeping
with the push and progressive ideas OF
the then coming trap-shooter, so it was
decided 10 replace these with five new
ciay-pigeon traps Of later design.
in the mean time the membership had
increased 10 eighteen.

FISH AND GAME.

ShanEe In Weather Makes ImDroye-

ire recent change in the weather has
made a big improvement in the condition
or hsh and game brought to the local trade
from down the river. and in conversation
with Star reporter this morning dealer
said that none of the markets could make
a better showing than those in this city
Rabbits from the surrounding country have
made their appearance in market although
not many of them are yet in good condi-
ticn.
The season for ortolan is fast drawing to
close, and although the birds are scarce
those that are to be had are in excellent
condition. There has been so heavy a de-
mand for woodcock this season that there
are but few of them left. Woodcock has
been the bird used at most of the big din
ners this season, and this has exhausted
the supply.
Reed birds have also been in great de-
mand this season, and the cold storage
stock is now very small. Wild ducks are
getting more plentiful, and with a few
cool nights 1t is believed there will be good
shooting few miles down the river A
lew rocks have been received from the
lower river, but these ducks, the dealers
think. are going to be scarce. The scar

Potomac and James rivers have arrived,
and they are bringing the usual nigh prices
Spanish mackerel, thought by fishermen
TO be one of the incest varieties of fish
taken from the Potomac, are getting scarce,
and the few that are arriving are bringing
exorbtant prices. Rock fish caught in the
Potomac have not been equal to the de-
mand, and local dealers have had to de-
rend upon the big catches at Havre de
Grace for their supplies.
Big mouth bass are being caught in large
numbers, and a few of the small mouth
variety are also coming in. Six bass weigh
ing nine pounds were caught at Gunston
yesterday, and sent here to local dealer.
The largest one was of the small mouth
variety. and weighed about three pounds.
When spell of cold weather shall come

of pike and yellow perch, for these fish then
make their way to the creeks and the small

extra fine white perch are being caught

heavy mail wagon and train drawn by
motor car No. $50 of the Metropolitan Rail-

sons who were passengers in the car have
not yet recovered from a severe fright,
and the roadway at the point mentioned is
not at all desirable as course for bicycle
riders. being strewn with broken glass.

trio railway train approached street
along 9TH street. from the north, at an or
binary rate of speed, the mail wagon was
drawing near 9Th street along E street.
IRON the west, the horses moving at a
rapid pace. The driver Of the mail wagon
was bound for the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad depot Noticing the street railway
train, so say several who witnessed the
collision. the driver checked his horses. but
tempted to pass in front Of the train. He
was too late. The tongue of the mail wa
won struck the front of the motor car and
as the motorman was unable to bring the
train to standstill promptly, the tongue
scraped along the side of the motor and
shattered every pane of glass in the win
dcws on that side of the car. Luckily, and
almost Hiraculously, no one was injured,
although the car was we'll filled with las

France in This Country.
NJ Jules Martin Cambon, who succeeds
M. Patenotre as French ambassador at
Washington, stands high in the government
service of the French republic, and will
undoubtedly prove an acquisition to the
local diplomatic circle. He is a younger
brother Of NJ. Pierre Paul Cambon. French
ambassador to Turkey, and at present holds
the office of governor general OF Algeria.
He was born in Paris, in April, 1915. and,
having adopted the legal profession, he was
admitted to practice as an advocate in
1866. During the Franco Prussian war he
served with credit as a captain in the
division of Seine-et-Marne. After the war

1t was found to be impossible to complete
the work on Saturday last, and SO the can
vass is still going on. OF course, it is not
expected that this great undertaking will
be accomplished completely and fully as
to the entire territory covered However.
it is known that there will be returns from
each of the fifteen districts, and a large
number of the subdivisions have already
been canvassed or the work is now in
progress. The canvassers have met with
difficulties. as was expected, and in some
cases they have been unable to get any in
formation about the people they have call
ed upon. principally because they could not
find the persons. In some of the divisions
the canvassers have not fully performed
their work. and there have been instances
of inefficiency. Taking it all in ALL it is
thought by those interested in the practi-
cal execution Of this scheme that much
information of value will be obtained and
much good will be accomplished.
