Eastern Y. C. 
A special open race of the Eastern Y. C. was sailed off Marble- 
head on Monday, August 1. Rain squalls, calms and flukes, 
generally, took away interest from this race. The yachts were 
<=ent away in a heavy rain, and after this ceased there came a 
dead calm. This was followed by a fairly decent breeze, which 
held to the finish. In Class L, Chewink IV. made a fine start 
and was the first to catch the breeze after the calm. She led 
all over the course. Medric got a good start in the 22-footers, 
but was turned around in the calm which came afterward. Urchin 
got the breeze first by holding farther inshore than the others 
and she led to the finish. The 18-footers were bunched at the 
start Aladdin got the breeze first after the calm, and she led 
to the windward mark. On the next leg, however, Arrow over- 
hauled her and led to the finish. The summary:

Handbook for Military Riflemen. 
"The Rifleman's Handbook, for Military Riflemen," by J. G. 
Ewing, Asst. Insp. Gen'l Small Arms Practice, Delaware National 
Guard, contains 63 pages of good practical information for rifle- 
men. In his preface the author modestly states that "this 
pamphlet is intended as a primer. There is nothing new or 
original in it excepting the arrangement, the idea being to handle 
in logical sequence the different steps which lead up to a knowl- 
edge of rifle shooting. The subjects have been dealt with as 
briefly as possible, and in the simplest manner." And yet within 
its 63 pages is contained all the information essential to the 
making of a good rifleman, military or otherwise, and which the 
rifleman must learn before he can attain a degree of intelligent . 
proficiency. Each subject is treated clearly and briefly, yet fully. 
Everything which the military rifleman needs to know is told in 
plain terms, without redundancy. And yet, when a rifleman has 
mastered its contents, in a theoretical and practical manner, he 
may be classed as an expert. Some of the subjects treated are the 
loading mechanism of the .30cal. magazine rifle, assembling and 
dismounting, aiming and sighting drill, indoor gallery work, 
positions in shooting, scoring, ammunition, outdoor rifle shoot- 
ing, ballistics, ■ table of wind allowances, mirage, general ob- 
servations. The main features are fully illustrated. 
Of this valuable work, the eminent authority, John F. Guil- 
foyle, Inspector Small Arms Practice, U. S. Army, wrote as 
follows: "This little book has my heartiest approval and good 
wishes. It will be an excellent guide to the firing regulations, 
and will tend to stimulate interest in that important accom- 
plishment, 'how to shoot.' " The author's address is Wilmington, 
Delaware. 
Cincinnati Rifle Association. 
Cincinnati, O. — The following scores were made in regular 
•competition by members of the Cincinnati Rifle Association at 
P'our-Mile House, Reading road, July 31. 
Conditions: 200yds., offhand at the 25-ring target. An irregu- 
lar, fish-tail wind prevailed throughout the day, and the ther- 
mometer ranged from 95 to 98 in the shooting pavilion. 
Payne was declared champion for the day with the good score 
of 228; he was also high on the honor with 67. He also fired 
100 shots for record, and beat his former record of 2162 by 21 
points by scoring 2183. This establishes a new record for the 
range. " ': '. •
