We believe some of the other clubs would find this 
target and distance a good one for the .22s. It doesn't 
strain the gun, but there is considerable “strain,” we 
find on the shooter to keep in the -in. black. 
Several of our members have taken up the military 
Krag, and although we have but a 200yd. range, some 
very good scores have been made. We have tried this 
arm on the 26yd. indoor range, and find considerable 
enjoyment and good practice using a reduced load. 
Chief Yeoman Mayo, U.S.N., one of our most en¬ 
thusiastic members, is naturally a Krag fiend, and at our 
last shoot used the Vtin. ring target such as common for 
26yd. work with the . 22 s, and put up some scores with 
the military weapon, which compare very favorably with 
the target rifles for that class of shooting. 
There was but a slight attendance at the last practice 
shoot, many of the boys being away, some leaving town 
for over Sunday during the hot spell, and others for¬ 
saking the revolver and rifle for boating, fishing and 
the auto. 
A few old regulars were on deck, however. Chief 
Yeoman Mayo, N.S.N., challenged Secretary Hurlburt 
to a 40-shot match at the gallery, 26yds., Krag rifle, 
on Creedmoor target, with lin. bull. Scores were as 
follows: 
Mayo .45 43 41 43 — 172 
ITurlburt .40 41 41 44—166 
Change of light, even at short range, is accountable 
for low scores sometimes. While Hurlburt was shoot 
ing one string the lights on the next target were turned 
out. The result was three low shots at 6 o'clock. When 
the lights were again turned on, he secured three bulls, 
but too late to make the total in the match any closer. 
Other scores were as follows! 
Revolver, 50yds., Standard: Eddy 82, 78, 77, 88 , 84. 
Rifle, ,22cal., 50yds., Standard: Luther 79, 79, 83, 84. 
Rifle, 25yds., Win. ring target Mayo (with Krag) 233, 
229, 223, 221, 238. 
Rifle, 25vds., Creedmoor: Mayo (Krag) 46, Jeffords 
(Winchester) 40, 40. Mayo ties gallery record. 
Rifle Notes. 
Capt. Geo. E. Bartlett, assisted by Mr. Gilbert W. 
Wheeler, is giving exhibitions of. his marvelous skill in 
Maine towns, in the interest of the refers Cartridge Co. 
Jack. 
I am sorry to be obliged to confess that Jack 
•was not, strictly speaking, a blue blood dog. 
On the maternal side his lineage was pure, but 
his father was only just dog. 
Jack knew as well as any one when I was 
preparing to go shooting. He made no demon¬ 
strations of delight when I would don business 
coat and hat, but let me draw on gum boots 
and canvas coat, and his delight knew no 
bounds. He would spring and leap as he 
whined, “sung,” and fairly howled in his de- 
, light. 
I taught him, when a very small pup, to re¬ 
trieve. To carry a ball of yarn he was obliged 
to hold his head very high, and to this I at¬ 
tribute his habit of carrying his head well up 
when he retrieved a bird. His legs were very 
short, his chest broad and powerful; and with 
head held high as he brought in a duck, and 
his extremely long silky ears reaching over his 
shoulders, he made a beautiful picture. 
Jack proved to me that a spaniel will learn 
by observation as well as by training. Often 
when I was out for a day my game bag would 
become heavy, and to relieve myself of the 
weight, I would hide a few birds in tufts of 
meadow grass, to be taken up on my way back to 
camp, but at no time did I tell Jack to hide 
game. 
One night, as I was returning to camp, I 
shot a duck. Giving it to Jack 1 told him to 
take it “home,” and he ran on ahead. -Suddenly 
I remembered that I had left my coat in some 
brush on a tiny hill, and turned back to get it. 
Hidden by the brush, and from the elevation, 
I watched Jack. After trotting proudly along 
for a while, he looked back to see if I was com¬ 
ing. Not seeing me, he dropped the duck, 
sniffed and watched the deserted trail. No 
signs of me. Picking up the duck he trotted 
off quite a distance from the path, hid the duck 
in a tuft of grass, and came back in search of 
me. Soon he found me, and we started on to¬ 
gether, I taking no notice of the fact that he 
was without the game. We walked on rapidly 
till suddenly, when opposite his game, he rushed 
off. pawed away the grass, and secured the 
duck, trotting on as before, till he took it into 
camp. I was proud of Jack then. 
Tbe poor fellow was the victim of a joke one 
day. I shot a duck on a tiny pond close to the 
house. It floated apparently dead, and Jack 
[-JAIL, campers out!—you had better 
forget the salt than the Club Cock¬ 
tails. They take the roughness out of 
the roughest fare. 
They are real cocktails—just what the 
bar mixed drinks are not. Club Cock¬ 
tails are mixed by measure from the 
finest liquors, then aged in wood. In 
portable form, they are 
cheaper and better than the 
best of the guesswork kind. 
Just strain through cracked 
ice and serve.
