ALFRED J. CAMMEYER, Sixth Ave., cor. 20th St., NEW YORK 
shot groups cr.n be fired before the target need be 
changed, and this is also a handy method tor comparing 
groups. The telescope sight being employed in spotting 
shots, one need not move out of his tracks until his four 
groups are completed. But in order to be certain of 
•locating each shot, five shots can be fired at each 
paster, making 20 shots in all before changing cards. 
If telescope sights are not used, an ordinary two-dollar 
telescope will answer for spotting shots, as a power of 
two or three diameters is generally sufficient for the 
purpose. Two nails can be driven in an upright and 
the glass placed on these, and made fast after it is 
-focused on the target, so that it can be consulted between 
shots without using the hands in adjusting it for direc¬ 
tion each time. 
One who is at all handy with tools can fit up a base¬ 
ment range at small expense of time and cash, but the 
-returns in pleasure and recreation will be large. So ac¬ 
curate are the .22 caliber rifles and ammunition of to-day 
that nearly perfect results kwe possible on short ranges, 
and this practice is of r«p value to one who prefers 
shooting with larger calibefl^gt* longer ranges, but whose 
time is limited ' 
Providence Revolver Club. 
The first of the match series between the local crack 
militia revolver team, Troop B, First Battalion Cavalry, 
and our club, for a cup. was shot Oct. 20 under most 
unfavorable conditions, the usual week-end rain being 
nearer a cloudburst than a storm, which wet every one to 
the skin, and interfered with the making of good scores 
by some of the competitors. 
The original plan was to have one match by Creed- 
moor count, one by Standard and the third the choice of 
the team making the highest aggregate total; but the 
militiamen insisted on best two out of three matches and 
all scoring by Creedmoor. 
Seven men composed each team, each man firing 10 
consecutive shots at 50vds. 
Our lead of 57 points would make us feel safer as to 
the final outcome if the aggregate of the shoots was to 
count, but as it is, we are simply one leg to the good. 
Argus’ score figured SI Standard, and was made with 
his .45cal. revolver, with full factory load and black 
powder.

Beffer Science and Coaching 
When Sir Howard Vincent returned to England from 
his trip to the LTnited States, after the Queen’s West¬ 
minster team had been defeated by the Seventh New 
York Regiment team at Creedmoor, he said, in address¬ 
ing his regiment that its team lost because of the better 
application of science to the shooting of the Seventh’s 
team and its better system of coaching. 
The young bookkeeper sauntered into the dining room, 
seated himself leisurely and proceeded to unfold his 
neighbor’s paper, in a certain downtown boarding house 
recently. In the course of half an hour his breakfast was 
placed before him. He glanced at the cold biscuit, stirred 
the watery coffee and leaned languidly over and drew 
the little tin dish of hash toward him. 
“Balance carried forward,” he murmured, and bowed 
gravely to the remnants of yesterday’s roast. 
Attorney—Have you formed any opinion on this case? 
Prospective Juror—No, sir. 
Attorney—After the evidence on both sides is all in 
<3o you think you will be able to form an opinion? 
Prospective Juror—No, sir. 
Attorney General—Good. You’ll do.—Chicago Daily 
News. 
You’ll find I’m hard to discourage,” said tlje persistent 
suitor, melodramatically. “Some day I’ll make you 
admit you love me, and then—and not till then—I will 
die happy.” 
“I’ll say it now,” replied the heartless girl. I don’t 
mind tieiling a lie for a good end.” 
“With all your wealth are you not afraid of the pro¬ 
letariat?” asked the delver in sociological problems. 
“No, I ain’t,” snapped Mr. Newrich. “We boil all our 
drinking water.”—Philadelphia Record. 
“You have had quite enough beer now, Karl.” 
“Quite right, my dear. Waiter, bring me the wine 
bst.”—Fliegende Blatter.

After some years of peaceful slumber, Mr. 
Kelly’s most excellent book of bear stories was 
roused to life by a recent criticism of Mr. Seton, 
the question being where Mr. Seton got his ma¬ 
terial for his bear stories, for a number of people 
suggested that it was taken from Mr. Kelly’s 
book. With the merits of this controversy “our¬ 
selves have naught to do,” but the matter in Mr. 
Kelly’s book is excellent, interesting and worthy 
of prettv much anv author.
