A New Springfield Club. 
The enthusiasts in Springfield, Mass., have put their heads 
together and organized the Springfield Rifle Club, which will shoot 
during the winter months on a range that is now being built and 
equipped according to the latest designs. There are to be five 
ranges, all 76ft. in length, with the so-called trolleys for moving 
the paper targets to and from the butts and firing points. There 
are a number of good shots in and about Springfield, some of 
whom shoot at 200yds. on the ranges of the Springfield Rod and 
Gun Club, and these gentlemen feel the need of an indoor range. 
Rifle Notes. 
Ihe Preble County Rifle Club, of Eaton, will hold its regular

Dec. 1. The club event is open to members only, but there will 
be contests open to all for cash prizes. The shooting will be at

Ihe Queens County Gun Club, of Long Island City, N. Y., is 
out of the sport of trapshooting, for the present at least, per- 
haps permanently. This is consequent to public improvements 
and the invasion of its grounds for those purposes. This is a 
regrettable happening, as the club had recently expended an 
important sum of money for a club house and trap equipments, 
besides being actively earnest in promoting the sport.

The Avalon Gun Club, of Catalina Island, California, will hold 
several live-bird championship and handicap live-bird events. 
The premiss of the championship is as follows: “With the idea 
of deciding the question of supremacy among the amateur trap- 
shooters of the United States, the Avalon Gun Club, of Catalina 
Island, Califernia, will hold several important live-bird shoots at 
Catalina Island during February and March.” In our view, some- 
what obscured by distance and provincialism, the idea of holding 
a championship of the United States is good, but the fact of 
holding the championship of Catalina Island, extending to its full 
maritime jurisdiction, is better.

The following is an excerpt from the Shooting Times: “Ger- 
man scientists, announce that everything needed to make a man 
weigh ISOlbs. can be found in the whites and yolks of 1,2C0 hen’s 
eggs. Reduced to a fluid, the average man would yield 98 cubic 
meters of illuminating gas, and hydrogen enough to fill a 
balloon capable of lifting 1551bs. The normal human body has 
in it the iron needed to make seven large nails, the fat for 141bs. 
of candles, the carbon for 64 gross of crayons, and phosphorus 
enough for 820,000 matches. Out of it can be obtained, besides 
20 coffee-spoons of salt, 50 lumps of sugar and 42 litres of water.” 
If the learned gentlemen had examined some of the American 
sportsmen who had the temerity to hunt deer, moose, etc., he ' 
w’ould have found a sufficient quantity of lead to make a lump 
or two. Bernard Waters.
