and Double Targets was made with Parker Guns. 
As on every previous occasion, the bona fide Championship of 
America was won with a Parker Gun, Mr. W. R. Crosby scoring 
198 X 200 targets at 18 yards rise. Same man, same gun, made the World’s 
Record, scoring 98 x 100 targets at 23 yards, which is a truly wonderful 
performance.

THE ANGLER’S WORKSHOP 
Rodmaking for Beginners 
By PERRY D. FRAZER 
A UNIQUE work, bringing the science of rodmaking up to the very moment and 
epitomizing the knowledge and experience of experts for the guidance of the 
average man. The evolution of bait-casting principles has made Mr. Frazer’s 
book supersede all previous publications on the subject. 
Every angler—young or old—who is fond of adapting his rods and tackle to his own 
ideas of what they should be, will find in this book a large fund of information gathered 
by ‘he author in years of study, experiment and practical experience in fishing, tourna¬ 
ment casting and at the work bench. He theorizes and speculates not at all. He tells 
“the how” of everything connected with rodmaking in a way that makes results certain. 
All explanations are simple and easily followed. 
Separate chapters are devoted to each of a half dozen types of bait-casting rods; to 
tarpon, surf and light salt v/ater rod'-; bass and trout, salmon and tournament fly-rods. 
Complete specifications of well-known types are given, and the chapter on split bamboo 
rodmaking is the most comprehensive treatise on the subject ever published. Indis¬ 
pensable in the angler’s library. 
Cloth, i8o pages, four full-page illustrations, 6o working drawings, making plain 
every feature of the text. Postpaid, $i.oo.

all working for the success of the program on Feb. 22.

entrance in each event. The division will be by the 
Rose system, 5, 3, 2, 1. If over five amateurs finish 
ten events in the money, $5 added to high gun. If over 
five professionals finish ten events, $5 added to high 
gun. There will be three traps working, one for targets 
only. 
The traps are on the flat beach, giving a clear sky 
background from the horizon to the zenith, and afford¬ 
ing a clear view of the target on its entire flight. Glass- 
enclosed grand stand. All shells on the ground. Ship 
your shells by United States or Adams Express, care
