The dimensions of the three boats will be 25ft. load

The Manhattan Rife Association. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Tliis Association being now an assured success, perhaps a short 
description ot its aims and pui poses may interest Uie readers of 
Forest and Stream. It was oiganizco a coupie ol years ago by a 
few sportsmen interested in ritie snooting, living in the upper part 
01 the city, and meeting on various ranges wherever accommoda- 
tions cou.d be secured. As our membership increased, we began 
to look around tor a p.ace to erect a range of our own, and alter 
some searching we tound an ideal spot aL Baychester, iocattd on 
property owned by Mr. J. H. Campbeil. 
'the membership has steadily increased, until we are now in a 
position to suppiy our own range With all modern conveniences. 
We have a weu-ouilt butt and target house, with three sets of 
sliding targets, and can readuy add more as occasion requires. 
We have a club house, in wnicli a com.ortabie fire burns on coid 
days in winter, and which we have heretotore been using as a 
shooting house aiso, until our regu.ar house is completed; a 
te.epuone line connecting the bulls with Uie ciub house and 
firing points, greatly lacmlaung the work oi those who delight 
in experimenting and group snooting at rest; and we will soon 
have firing poims arranged at 50j and GOJyds., to accommodate 
those who take pleasure in shooting at these distances, as well as 
25 and 50yd. pistol ranges. The new shooting house now being 
bunt wi.l be at the 200yd. Tiring point; it will be small at first, but 
well designed, and so arranged as to readily admit of its being 
enlarged as occasion requires. It will also be provided with bench 
and machine rests, to enabje members to test their guns. 
The range is located in the open country, with a hill behind 
the targets to stop bullets, the line of tire being due north. There 
are no Sjits to shoot through, as in the schuetzen parks, all of the 
targets being in lull view ol all shooters at all times. No liquors 
are sold on the premises, those desiring other refreshments than 
the excellent coffee served by Mr. Campbell obtaining them from 
Miller & Zorn's hotel ntar by. iiaychesttr fan be reached in about 
twenty minutes from 1 hird avenue and 129th street L station, 
from which trains leave at a quarter betore each hour via the New 
Haven K. R., and the range is aoouf ten minutes Irom the station. 
Our members are an business or protessiunai men, who enjoy 
rifle shooting tor the sport tnere is in it, and not for the profits 
(or losses) to be derived from the kind commonly indulged in at 
the schuetzen parks. Many ol them preier to shoot bunting' 
rifles, some of the military men among us prefer to use their mili- 
tary rifles, while others use target rifles; each is free to do as 
he pleases, and so all are satisfied, ft is our aim to make this 
Association as nearly like the Massachusetts Rifle Association 
as possible, rather than copy alter tlie schuetzen corps, who 
seem to have the monopoly of rifle shooting in this vicinity at 
present; and if ail those who are interested in rifle shooting as a 
clean sport will join in with us and he.p, there will be no diffi- 1 
cuity in having an organization equal to that ol the Bostonians. 
A cordial invitation is hereby extended to all interested in this 
sport to join. 
The dues are $6 a year, and the initiation at present is merely 
nominal (.$1), so as to enable us to obtain as many desirable mem- 
bers as possible; each application, however, is caretuily investi- 
gated by the executive committee before action is taken, as we 
only care to have true sportsmen in our organization. 
Any further information will be cheertu.ly turnished on applica- 
tion to the president, Dr. VV. G. Hudson, 73 West 131st street, or 
to the secretary, J. E. Silliman, National Park Bank, Broadway, 
to whom applications ior membership may also be forwarded.

The well-known shooting journalist, Mr. Basil Hay man, is in 
this city, convalescing irom an attack 01 Cuban fever, contracted 
in the sambnous marshes ot Florida, bo'me months ago Air. 
Hayman gave up the pieasant pursuit of kennei editing ior the 
nioi'e peaceful pursuit of war, with the unfortunate /esutt above 
mentioned, which came to so many others also. His wide circle 
of friends will be happy to learn that he is entirely out ol danger, 
and ere long will be able to drive a quill or ride a evve-ne^Ked 
broncho with the best ot us. He was one of the Rougn R.ders, 
very good men, too, foi lambasting the enemy, but entirely untried 
in a ready warm war where the color, shape and winnings ot a 
dog are in question. 
From the Daily Times-Enterprise, of Thomasville, Ga., the 
following interesting item concerning Miss Annie oakicy, ihe 
world-iamous lady rifle shot, is taKen: "fne snooting oi Annie 
Oakley was the leature 01 the day. Her marksmaiisinp is mar- 
velous. From a bicycie, which sue rode most grace.ui.y at mil 
speed, she shattered balls in the air with a Wincnester r.fle, and 
won the plaudits of the crowd by breaking four bans thrown into 
the air at the same tune, changing guns during tne firing- Her 
last feat was breaking eleven oaiis in ten seconds. This was 
lightning shooting. Annie Oakley is surely a wonder with the 
rifle, shotgun or pistol." c 
Mr. W. Fred Ouimby, traveling representative of the American E. 
C. & Schultze fowder Co., is Puck m Wew 1 ork agu.n a.ict a 
very successlul trip. In respect to killing 25 live buds straight 
at Belle Meade recently, Mr. Cjuimby says: "It is naught; it 
is naught. 1 do not count that as anything compared with what 
I really can do when I want to." Mr. Keller is anxious to shoot a 
team match with Mr. Quimby when the latter is 111 suih^icnt good ' 
form to shoot up to Mr. Keller's Siandard. Each man is to 
select a duffer for a partner, so ,as to equalize chances. It should 
be a great race if it ever comes off — 26 live birds per man, 25 
targets thereunto also. 
Realizing the importance of the camera as an adjunct to sports 
afield, whether with rifle or shotgun, rod or canoe, or bicycie, etc., 
Messrs. Von Lengerke & Detniold, of 318 Broadway, New York, 
have recently added to their stock of sportsmen's goods a- full line 
of the excellent cameras manufactured by the Eastman Kodak 
Company, of Rochester, N. Y. There are ail sizes and kinds, from 
the tiny kodak for the pocket up to the giant for solid business. 
The bicyclist who has a wheel which cannot be fitted with a 
kodak must have one which has been run over with a trolley car 
or otherwise smashed. 
There was a very light attendance at Dupont Park during; the 
three days' tournament last week, a regort oi which is publ.shed 
elsewhere in our columns from the painstaking pen of Mr. Paul 
R. Litzke. There was $148 in added money, and the targets 
were thrown at a 2-cent rate, but still -the home talent were un- 
responsive. The averages were surprisingly low. Gilbert was 
high on the first day with .825, Elliott next with .787. On the 
second day Gilbert was highest with .813, Elliott next with 
.812. Hitrh wind, bad weather and irregular flights explain the 
falling off in scores. 
We sincerely regret the illness of Mr. Will K. Park, of Phila- 
de'phia, the popular representative of Sporting Life, who has been 
prostrated from an attack of fever. Still there is that to rejoice 
over in knowing that he is convalescing, and mav soon go to his 
heme to recuperate. It is hard to down a srood man, and of such, 
is Mr. Park. Our sincere wishes are for his speedy recovery.
