Chapters from Jane Austin. Edited by Oscar Fay Adams 

 Boston: Lee & Shepard. Cloth, 75 cents. Contemporary with 

 Sir Walter Scott, Jane Austin is the only woman writer of the 

 first decades of the century whose works have stood the tost of 

 time. She never figured as a popular novelist, but there is a cer- 

 tain caccellenec in the quality of her work, which has won her 

 the appreciation of the highest and most competent critics. 

 Thackeray among ot hers spoke of her writings in terms of un- 

 measured'exceJlence. Her heroes and heroines are commonplace 

 people, wise aud otherwise, moving in good society, loving and 

 acting as such people love and act in real life without any great 

 display of chivalry or self-sacrifice. The characters are not 

 idealized, her heroines are not girls like Scott's Rebekah, or 

 Thackeray's Ethel, or Dickens's Florence, creations of the imagin- 

 ation, but the sort of girls that sensible cultured women would 

 like to have for friends and neighbors, and sensible men select 

 for their wives. Jane Austin is an artist and her admirers dwell 

 emphatically on the artistic excellence of her work, but although 

 the treatment of her subject is artistic her characters are in no 

 sense creations. No criticism of her work can be juster than her 

 own estimate of it when she compared it to that of miniature 

 paintings on two square inches of ivory, displaying extreme at- 

 tention to minuteness of detail. Every course of literary culture 

 ■should involve an acquaintance with the writing of Jane Austin, 

 and the. present volume affords all that is necessary to a thorough 

 appreciation of her life and labor. 



Has the Bible anything to say about political economy? This 

 question will be discussed in "The Bible and Land," shortly to be 

 published at Morristown, Tenn., by its author, the Rev. James B.

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



ST. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. B.— Editor Forest and Strewn: On last 

 Wednesday evening the St. Louis Pistol Club held its annual 

 meeting for the election of officers and also made arrangements 

 for another tournament to begin next Wednesday and continue 

 twenty-one weeks, thirteen shoots being necessary to constitute 

 an average. The old officers of the club were unanimously re- 

 elected: L. V. D. Perret, President; W. Bauer, Vice-President; 

 W. J. Lord, Secretary and Treasurer; E. C. Mohrstaclt, J%. W. 

 Alexander and J. G. Schaaf with the officers constitute the Board 

 of Managers. The coming shoot is to be a handicap. There will 

 be a prize for the member having the highest handicap average, 

 and a gold medal for the highest general straight average. The 

 first shoot will take place next Wednesday evening on the new 

 tourney. Messrs. Lord and W. Hettel were appointed a commit- 

 tee to secure the medal and also to select a prize. The two latter 

 gentleman with Mr. Perret constitute the haudieappingcomniit- 

 tee. The standard American target will still continue in use for 

 the proposed shoot aud a three pound pull of pistol will have to 

 be used by all the club's members, which now makes the conditions 

 of the shooting of the St. Louis Club .just the same as practiced 

 in the East. When the motion of the adoption of the three pound 

 dull was made, only one of the thirteen who were present ob- 

 jected, consequently it went through with a rush,— Unser Fritz. 



BOSTON, Dec. 8.— Perfect fall weather greeted the shooters to- 

 day at the rifle range, and many were, present to enjoy it. The 

 wind was light from 9 o'clock, and shooting was verv lively, each 

 of the matches being -well patronized. Following are the best 

 scores made to-day:

WILMINGTON, Del., Bee. 4.-The winter shooting at Heald 

 moore Rifle Range to-day was made enjovable by the addition of 

 a good warm stove to the shooting house, so that the marksmen 

 will enjoy their pastime through the cold winter days in as much 

 comfort as though they were at their own homes. "The shooting 

 to-day, although favored by a perfect light, was rendered difficult 

 by a tricky fish-tail wind, but some excellent scores were made 

 The monthly badge of the Wilmington Rifle Club was won bv j' 

 F. McCafferty. E. J. Darlington made an advance on his previous 

 record at revolver practice, narrowly missing the °-oal of all 

 marksmen's ambition— a score of 80 points. "

STOLEN TROPHIES.-Providence, R. I., Dec. 7. — E. Harrison 

 Sandford, ex -director of the National Rifle Association of America, 

 has met with, to him, a serious loss. His elegant summer home 

 at Narragansett Pier was entered by thieves on November 23 last, 

 and a large collection of jewelry and medals— the latter trophies 

 of his prowess as a marksman— was carried off. The most prized 

 objects among the stolen goods were the Spirit of the Times badge 

 of 1876, and the championship badge of the National Rifle Associ- 

 ation of America, 1876. Inspector Coogan, of Boston, early this 

 week arrested a man whom Detective Parker, of this city, recog- 

 nized as an old thief and jail-bird named Thomas Knott, and on 

 the latter's confession of the place of concealment about half of 

 the plunder, including the Spirit of the lime* badge, was recovered 

 from a desolate spot near Point Judith. 



DEPARTMENT REPORTS.— The reports of the Secretary of 

 War and of his subordinates, so far as they refer to small arms, 

 are more than usually interesting. Secretary Endicott says that 

 all the States and Territories now have an active militia sufficient 

 under the regulations to entitle them to receive ordnance and 

 quartermasters' stores from the United States, excepting the 

 State of Arkansas and the Territories of Arizona, Idaho ard 

 Utah. It is hoped that soon practical instruction in sea coast 

 defences and the. handling of heavy artillery may be given to the 

 militia, and the officers of the army may be relied upon to give a 

 zealous and cordial assistance. "By a generous supply of ammu- 

 nition for target practice to colleges where army 'officers are 

 serving as instructors," the Secretary savs, "it is possible that 

 competitive .contests in rifle shooting might in time become as 

 popular with some of these inland colleges as boat racing is now 

 at the universities of our seaboard." Discussing the operations 

 of the Ordnance Department, the report states'that during the 

 fiscal year ended June 30, 1888, 41,130 rifles and carbines were 

 manufactured at the national armory, and that investigations 

 have been completed to determine the charge and projectile for 

 an arm of smaller caliber than the present service piece. It is 

 the intention to use compressed and perforated cartridges, but as 

 yet the powder workers have not succeeded in producing a satis- 

 factory powder, the desired velocity being accompanied by too 

 great a pressure. This matter of a suitable powder is still under 

 study and trial. The results obtained in France with the Lebel 

 rifle seems to point to a radical change in the manufacture of 

 powder for small arms. 



Commodore Sicard, Chief of Ordnance in the navy, reports that 

 a contract has been made with the Colts Arms Company, of Hart- 

 ford, Conn., to manufacture for tne navy 5,000 revolvers of a new 

 design. This arm combines simultaneous extraction with a 

 chamber cylinder which revolves sidewise by a hiuge motion 

 permitting convenient and rapid loading. It is somewhat lighter 

 than the old naval revolver and is considered in every respect 

 much superior to it. The sample revolvers, on which the inspec- 

 tion of the rest of the contract is to be based, are very nearly fin- 

 ished, and a considerable amount of preliminary work on the 

 contract has been done. The bureau has found it necessary to 

 r" "chase 1,600 small arms for immediate use in the ships which 

 are mw approaching completion. The Lee magazine rifle of the 

 latest construction has been selected, aud a contract has been 

 made with the Lee Arms Company. The bureau orders as few 

 small arms of .45cal. as possible, believing that a reductien of cal- 

 iber will soon take place.

NEW JERSEY CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY. 



QPRINGFIELD, N. J., Dec. l.-Editor Forest and Stream: The 

 k7 return match tor the New Jersey State championship trophy 

 given by the Atlantic Ammunition Co. was shot on the Union 

 Gun i C no grounds here this afternoon, and resulted in a victory 

 for E. B. Miller by a score ot 90 to Johnson's 88. The match was 

 shot at oO bluerocks and oO Ligowsky clays. A high west wind 

 nearly a gale, prevailed during the whole time and carried the 

 birds m all manner ot ways and at unknown angles, but the 

 shooting of both contestants from first to last was excellent. 

 Johnson shot an uphill race, and at the 18th bird tied Miller 

 amtd unbounded enthusiasm from the crowd. At this point it 

 was any one's race but the pace proved too fast for Johnson and 

 he dropped two out of the next 20, while Miller broke them all. 

 ??^° n at . c '^ e cllan ,enged Miller to shoot another match for the 

 tm^y. and it is to take place on Dec. 15, on the same grounds, at 

 100 Keystone targets each. ^ a

 Johnson, Roll and Conover much fun was made by the rivalry 

 between Roll and Sopher, and whenever a bird was missed each

Springfield. N. J., Dec. 3.— The Union Gun Club, of Spring- 

 field, held its twelfth and last monthly prize shoot for 1888 on its 

 grounds here this afternoon, and although not many of the boys 

 showed up, still there were enough present to make it verv hot 

 and ext remely pleasant, for the interested parties until the last 

 shot was fired. The main event of the afternoon, after the prize 

 shoot was finished, was the shoot for the turkey supper. Teams 

 were chosen from the members present by Captains Roll and 

 Haines. Roll won the first choice and chose the following team: 

 Miller, Sopher, Conover and Sayre. Captain Haines looked after 

 Johnson, Sickley, Williams and Parker. Haines's team led off, 

 and from the first to the last shot all was excitement, as both 

 teams were very evenly matched, notwithstanding Roll had the 

 champion of the State. At the finish it was found that Haines's 

 team bad won by two birds, so Captain Roll called on his men to 

 step up to the captain's office (his large pocket) and settle, which 

 was promptly done. Following are the scores and conditions;

 At 6:15 P. M. all the members assembled at Blodgett's Hotel, 

 about a mile f'mm the club house, and sat down to one of his fam- 

 ous suppers. The tables were loaded down with all the delicacies 

 of the season, and the boys did ample justice to the good things 

 thus displayed. After the inner man had been satisfied a vote of 

 thanks was tendered to our worthy host, and all united in saying 

 that if any one is looking for a turkey supper Blodgett's is' the 

 place and Blodgett is the man that knows how to cook and serve 

 it. After dinner the members adjourned to a parlor kindly put 

 at our service by Mr. Blodgett, and a business meeting was held. 

 The following officers were unanimously elected for 1889: J. M. 

 Roll, President; C. H. Johnson, Jr., Secretary; E. D. Miller, Man- 

 ager; Ben Pudney, Boss Trapper. The next thing in order was to 

 give out the prizes for 1888, as follows: E. D. Miller, first, diamond 

 badge; Johnson, Jr., second, gold badge; Roll third, silver badge; 

 Conover fourth, corduroy hunting coat; Haines fifth, leather gun 

 case; A. Sickley sixth, corduroy pants; and Sayre seveuth, cmvas 

 hunting coat. Miller also wins the ©10 gold piece for best average, 

 for any six shoots, having broken 148 out of a possible 150. or 

 nearly 100 per cent. For the. coming year the club offers 13 prizes 

 in merchandise and gold, also four prizes for the best averages on 

 any eight regular monthly shoots. 12-Bobe. 



CANADIAN TRAP NOTES. 



1\/T ONTREAL, Dec. 1.— The third shoot in the "club" series came 

 1Y1 off to-day with a good attendance. The interest, in these 

 shoots seems to be on the increase, and considerable excitement 

 was shown as the competition drew to a close, Alexander, Paton 

 and Cowley leading. The gun was won bv E. A. Cowley after a 

 tie and shoot off with A. Alexander. Paton having unfortunately 

 gone to pieces at the most critical moment, left Cowley and 

 Alexander with 17 points each. Contrary to expectation, Alex- 

 ander failed to come up to his average on the shoot-off, while the 

 secretary-treasurer was shooting in good form. A gusty wind 

 affected'the shooting materially. Two sweeps wore shot, at>> birds 

 each, the winners in the first being: James I.Williams 1, and 

 Cowley 3. The second sweep resulted as follows: Cowley first, 

 James second, Taylor third. Mr. F. G. Verity refereed, in bis 

 usually able manner. It was cold work, but it did not affect the 

 refereeing. The score stood:

Montreal. Dec. 1.— At the present rate of shooting it will take 

 some time to decide the ownership of the Horsely gun, which is 

 put up for open competition by the Dominion Gun Club. There 

 have been five shoots so far, and each has been won by a differ- 

 ent person; and as the gun must be won three times before be- 

 coming the property of any one it would take a good prophet to 

 say who will be its ultimate possessor. Much interest is being 

 taken in the shoots. Following is to-day's score. Open shoot for 

 the Horsely gun, at 20 Peoria blackbirds, 18yds. rise:
