Columbus, 0., Gun Club. 
Columbus, O., Oct. IS.—Webster was high in the Peters 
trophy event with 46 out of 50, and Buchanan was high 
in the Hunter Arms Co. trophy with 44 out of 50. 
It was a beautiful afternoon for shooting. A number 
of our members were out at the horse show. 
Long-range rifle shooting is becoming very popular, 
and some are out nearly every day.

Providence Revolver Club. 
It was not enough that we have the usual Providence 
storm on a Saturday, which interferes with attendance, 
but our Tuesday night shoot was coupled with a severe 
thunderstorm and gale. A few braved the general nasti¬ 
ness and shot well. 
Our rifle team went over to Taunton. Mass., on the 
13th and shot a match at 200yds., with the members of 
the Taunton Rifle Club; and it goes down on record as 
one of the most enjoyable shoots we have had this year. 
This team match has been hanging fire for some time. 
Our opponents were one man shy, so it was agreed to 
have them select one of their number to shoot a second 
string. We also give them credit for two points on 
one man’s string, for upon going over the scores at this 
end we found either a mistake in copying or an error in 
making up the score. As it is, we unexpectedly led by 
enough margin to make us feel good-natured. It was 
expected a team from Attleboro would also compete, but 
could not make- the date convenient. Scores were as 
follows:

The next few weeks promise to be busy ones with us. 
We have been challenged to shoot a series of revolver 
matches with Troop B. Cavalry, which has finished the 
state competitions and feels capable of administering de¬ 
feat for our bunch. They insist on Creedmoor count, but 
we hope to arrange on conditions something like the 
following: 50yds., seven men to team, 10 shots per man, 
any .38 or 45cal. revolver, any ammunition. First match 
Creedmoor count; second, Standard American; third, 
the choice of team making the highest aggregate total 
in the two previous shoots. Winning team to receive a 
trophy to be purchased by a joint committee of the two 
teams. First shoot, Oct. 20. 
President Coulters has presented the club with a loving 
cup, to be competed for with rifles this fall and winter, 
500 consecutive shots in a given time; charge not to 
exceed 4 grains of smokeless; 100 targets will be issued 
each competitor, and every score must be turned in; for 
a missing target the shooter will be penalized 25 points. 
The reduced Creedmoor target with lin. bull and 2in. 
black will be used at 25yds. 
There is also a prospect for a cup each for the re¬ 
volver and rifle shooters. We are also planning a nice 
prize competition, which should be interesting. 
Following are the evening indoor scores: 
Revolver, 20yds., Standard: Parkhurst 84, 78; Hurlburt 
83; Miller 81. 
Rifle, 25yds., %in. ring target: Mavo, 238, 238, 242, 235, 
235, 235, 237, 236, 236, 235; Gardiner, 238, 239, 238, 239. 
Standard, 25yds.: Mayo 86, 80, 83. 
Cincinnati Rifle Association. 
The following scores were made in regular competition 
by members of this Association at Four Mile House, 
Reading road, Oct. 7. Conditions: 200yds., offhand, at 
the 25-ring target. Hasenzahl was champion for the day 
with a good score of 225. Pavne was high man on the 
honor target with 69 points. The scores: 
Hasenzahl . 225 217 213 212 209

Bears I Have Met—And Others. 
By Allen Kelly. Paper, 209 pages. Price, 60 cents. 
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 pretty much anv author.
