Fof shooting the swift flying, heavily feathered duck s and 
geese the //lar/ill 12-gauge repeating shotgun has no superior. 
This gun is exceedingly strong in construction and yet is not heavy. It is 
bored to throw an excellent pattern with great penetration. 1 he solid top 
keeps out the weather and the brush and twigs of the blind, and the side ejector 
prevents the empty shells from being a nuisance to the shooter. It s the best 
bad weather gun. 
The 77ltzr/zn 12-gauge is suited to all fonr.s of bird and trap shooting, 
and for durability, strength and ease of action is unexcelled. Made tor both 
black and smokeless powders and for heavy loads . Two separate extractors 
make sure work. _ . . „ . , . .. . .

A visitor to Florida can hardly make the trip without 
this book, if he is at all interested in angling. It gives a 
very complete list of the fishes of the East Coast of 
Florida, and every species is illustrated by a cut taken 
from the best authorities. The cuts are thus of the most 
value to the angler who desires to identify the fish he 
takes, while the colored plates of the tropical fish shown 
in all their wonderful gorgeousness of coloring, are very 
beautiful. Besides the pictures of fish, there are cuts 
showing portions of the fishing tackle which the author 
uses. A good index completes the volume.

• Indoor 22-Caliber Rifle League. 
Rochester, N. Y., Sept. 18.—Secretary J. S. Mullan, 
of the Columbia Rifle Club, has announced the appoint¬ 
ment of committees for the fourth annual tournament 
of the Indoor .22 Caliber Rifle League of the United 
States, to be held with the local organization the last 
week in January, 1907. The prize list is in the hands of 
a ways and means committee, composed of the most in¬ 
fluential members of the club, and the present outlook is 
for cash and merchandise awards of an aggregate value 
of $2,000, a large part of which will be cash. 
The first tournament of the League was held in Pitts¬ 
burg four years ago. At the time cash prizes amount¬ 
ing to about $1,000 were put up, and there was merchan¬ 
dise to the value of $500. The Columbia Rifle 1 Club 
wishes to add to that amount, making the coming tour¬ 
nament the most largely attended gathering of marks¬ 
men in the history of the League. 
It is believed that at least three hundred of the best 
rifle shots in the country will attend. At last year’s 
tournament in northern Michigan, there were one hund¬ 
red and fifty contestants. Rochester is centrally located. 
It has every facility for the entertainment of a large 
number of visitors, and no more hospitable organiza¬ 
tion than the Columbia Rifle Club may be found among 
clubs of its size. 
The club has a membership of two hundred, and every 
man is working for the success of the tournament. Pool 
and billiard competitions, with prizes for successful con¬ 
testants, are planned as a social feature of the tourna¬ 
ment. There will be music all the week. The tourna¬ 
ment committee is not in a position to announce its 
programme, but something definite will be given out in 
a few days. The feature of the tournament will of 
course be the championship shoot, carrying the individual 
,22cal. rifle shot title of the United States, a medal ana 
a cash prize. Columbia Rifle Club.

Zimmermann is the president; F. Hecking, secretary. 
Providence. R. I., Revolver Club. 
Good scores have been shot by those who have stuck 
to the range during the hot weather, and some of the 
members feel well paid for their work, which gives a 
jar to some of the older shots who have not kept up 
regular practice. 
Gardiner’s 100-shot total in practice leads the club 
record for the .22s; Miller and Parkhurst have caught 
the knack of placing the great majority of their shots in 
the bullseye at the 50yd. revolver line, and are putting up 
scores that please not only themselves but the fellow 
who has the picking out of a team in hand. 
We hope to persuade the crack revolver team of Troop 
B (militia) to shoot a return match with us this fall. 
Last year they caught us at short notice with some of 
our regular men out of reach, and in order to accom¬ 
modate them we were obliged to put on two men whose 
scores were below the average. The result was we were 
trimmed by a few points and tried to get a return match 
last winter, but were unable to get the militiamen in¬ 
terested. 
Revolver scores: 
Standard target, 50yds.: Edw. C. Parkhurst,80, 90, 77, 
89, 87; Herbert C. Miller, 90, 89, 81. 77. 81. 81. 79.
