Rifle Notes. 
Concerning the United States Revolver Association, 
President A. L. A. Himmelwright informs us that the 
membership of the Association has grown rapidly and 
now numbers 629 members, who are scattered through 
thirty-five States. The Association has a surplus in the 
treasury, and is in good financial condition. It is pur¬ 
posed to buy new trophies and to institute additional 
matches. 
*? 
Referring to a recent important rifle tournament, one 
of our Western exchanges said of the warming shots 
every rifleman fires before beginning his score in a 
match; “The theory is that the rifle will shoot better 
once the barrel is heated.” This is somewhat misleading, 
for the custom is an entirely practical one, not a theory, 
and is based on the fact that a shot fired out of a cold 
barrel, and one fired after the barrel is warmed slightly, 
will not be alike in elevations, hence the careful rifleman 
endeavors to warm his barrel by a blank or two, and 
afterward by shooting at regular intervals to keep it at 
an even temperature. 
“Did you ever buy a gold brick?” 
“No,” answered Farmer Corntossel, “but I’d like to. 
If I could get one middlin’ reasonable I’m sure I could 
go down to New York an’ sell it at a good profit.”—

AMERICAN 
DUCK SHOOTING 
By GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL 
No single gunner, however wide his experi¬ 
ence, has himself covered the whole broad field 
of duck shooting, and none knows so much 
about the sport that there is nothing left for him 
to learn. Each one may acquire a vast amount 
of novel information by reading this complete 
and most interesting book. It describes, with a 
portrait, every species of duck, goose, and swan 
known to North America; tells of the various 
methods of capture each, the guns, ammunition, 
loads, decoys and boats used in the sport, and 
gives the best account ever published of the re¬ 
trieving Chesapeake Bay dog. 
About 6oo pages, 58 portraits of fowl, 8 full- 
page plates, and many vignette head and tail 
pieces by Wilmot Townsend. 
Price, edition de luxe on hand made paper, 
bound in buckram, plates on India tint paper,
