Nursing vs. Dosing 
A Treatise on tire Care of Dogs in Health and Disease. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow”), Author of “Train¬ 
ing vs. Breaking.” 161 pages. Cloth. Price, $1.00. 
Mr. Hammond believes that more dogs are killed by 
injudicious doctoring than by disease, and the present 
work is a protest against the too free use of medicine 
when dogs are sick. The author has given special at¬ 
tention to many of the troubles which especially afflict 
small dogs kept in the house, and likely to suffer from 
lack of exercise and from over-feeding; and boys and 
girls owning dogs—as well as children of larger growth 
—may profitably study and ponder this volume.

Life and Sport in Labrador 
NAPOLEON A. COMEAU. 
In “Life and Sport on the North Shore of the Lower 
St. Lawrence and Gulf,” Mr. Comeau has made a 
valuable addition to the literature of rod and rifle— 
and more. It is a book of engrossing personal inter¬ 
est to the sportsman or general reader, and of rare 
value to the student of wild life. 
The author describes the events and experiences of 
fifty years, spent in the cause of humanity and science 
in one of the most interesting and least known sec¬ 
tions of Canada. He writes as one sportsman to his 
fellows, detailing his experiences with the wild things 
of wood, shore and sea, with plenty of stirring experi¬ 
ences with big game and gamy fish.

Our club prefers the eight or ten man team matches, 
shooting 50 shots at 50yds. In our last four matches, three 
of them were for ten men, five to use pistols and five 
revolvers, while the last match was for eight-man teams, 
giving each man his choice of hand gun. 
Probably many of your readers are more or less familiar 
with the name and reputation of the Los Angeles Re¬ 
volver club, but I have tooted our horn as a kind of 
general introduction and initial bow, as it were, for the 
benefit of those not so well informed. 
On Sunday. July 9, we shot our fourth match, which 
was against Providence, R. I. Some of our top-notchers 
were sick, and others failed to reach expectations, so 
that all we can show is 3460. We are anxiously awaiting 
a telegram from our opponents to relieve our suspense. 
J. E. Gorman and C. W. Linder, of San Francisco, 
witnessed and signed these targets, so that 3460 is of¬ 
ficial. Mr. Gorman made nine straight 10s, and then 
made a 9 on the last shot, which came within a quarter 
of an inch of being a 10, showing that he is in as good 
form as ever. On his 50 shots he made 476. Scores 
follow: 
G I Royce, pistol. 87 92 92 88 90—449 
W E Smith, pistol. 89 85 91 90 90—445

Adrian Rifle Club. 
The Adrian, Mich.. Rifle Club is one of the youngest 
organizations now affiliated with the National Rifle As¬ 
sociation, and also one of the smallest in point of num¬ 
bers, but it carries on its rolls as enthusiastic a squad 
of rifle fanatics as can be found in any community. This 
club got into the game last winter on the National in¬ 
door rifle contest, and like all new organizations, got 
away bad. They were nearly all winter getting the right 
dope, proper rifles and sights and settling into their 
stride. Toward the end, however, they were shooting 
in the 900 class, and won a match or two, and next 
winter they threaten to make some of the older clubs 
go some. 
This spring they were early afield. Sixteen Krag and 
New Springfield rifles were purchased, with an ample 
supply of ammunition, and a 600-yard range laid out. 
The early season was favorable, and when the June re¬ 
port went in it was found that the Adrian Rifle Club 
had qualified six sharpshooters and two marksmen over 
course C, as follows: 
Sharpshooters—Baldwin, Matterson, Bonner, Benner, 
Harris and Kortie. Marksmen—Nessell and Buss. 
Nessel has since qualified as sharpshooter, and Oliver 
as marksman. 
The sharpshooters will go to Detroit this month to 
shoot over the range at Camp Abbey for expert quali¬ 
fications and some of the members will go to Camp 
Perry. 
I lie rifle team of Company L, M. N. G., the local 
military organization, most of whom are members of 
the Adrian Rifle Club, showed the benefits of the year's 
consistent work at the State shoot at Detroit, the last 
week in June, when they came within one point of win¬ 
ning the State championship, and carried off the long 
range Evening News trophy with 43 points to spare. 
The men on this team are Capt. Benner, Lieut. Harris, 
Sergeants Cilley and Davis, Corp. Brown and Private 
Howe. 
The shoot for the club trophy will be held in August, 
and there is a keen and friendly rivalry among the 
members, as it is evident the match will be very close. 
Although the Adrian Club numbers some excellent re¬ 
volver shots, no revolver team has yet been organized 
as the members have preferred to devote their time to 
long range rifle work this year. Next year they will put 
a revolver team in the field and go after some records. 
At Shell Mound Park. 
Emeryville, Cal., July 9.—The sharpshooters attend¬ 
ing the regular monthly shoots were given somewhat 
of a cold, windy day, and the scores were not very high. 
The S. F. Turner Schuetzen, shooting on the 25-ring 
target, 200yds., made fair scores. The attendance was 
very large. Captain Fritz Attinger made the high score 
of 210, A. Furth 207 and Herman Enge 207. 
The attendance of the Norddeutscher Schuetzen Club 
was rather small. P. F. Rathjens made a good score 
of 223 rings. 
S. F. Schuetzen Verein held their regular monthly 
bullseye shoot, Otto Lemcke landing first by a center 
measuring .61. 
Germania Schuetzen Club held their monthly medal 
shoot. B. Jonas and W. F. Blasse divided honors, hav¬ 
ing made 213 rings each. 
Golden Gate Rifle and Pistol Club was well attended, 
and on the rifle range, where the re-entry matches are 
shot, W. G. Hoffman rolled up such scores as 227, 225, 
225, 222 and 222; J. G. Day made a 221, B. Jonas a 224 
and M. W. ITausner a 220. 
On the pistol range, E. W. Whaley made a 94 and 
was high man, but so did W. H. Christie, shooting U. 
S. R. A. medal targets, make 94 also and then a 93. 
As he will leave us for a few months, we hope upon 
his return he will make 93 look like a 95 or 97 and then 
some. 
The Independent Rifles, shooting at the standard Amer¬ 
ican target, 200yds., 8-inch bullseye, .45 Springfield rifle, 
had a large attendance. The scores were not very large, 
owing to the many new members Sergt. W. Gaetjen 
made the high score of 49.
