Private \\ . J. Clifford won $1780 in cash prizes at 
Bisley, England, in the recent rifle shoot. In other words 
he won in a week more than his ten years’ pay as private 
in the Canadian army. All together the Canadians carried 
away about $3600. The Bisley team won only about $1200. 
Some shooters, those Canadian soldiers. 
As long as they behave the following officers of the 
\\ est Philadelphia Rod and Gun Club will boss the 
doings of the club: Theo. B. Palmer, President; M. P. 
Mills, Yice-President; Ben. F. Robinson, Secretary, and 
W. Iv. Harris, Treasurer.

wolf shoot of the St. Paul Rod and Gun Club on Aug. 
20. Two hundred singles, and ten pairs will be thrown 
75yds. All shooters at 18yds. mark. Just by way of en¬ 
couragement I will add that you have your work cut 
out to beat that St. Paul bunch. They shoot early, often 
and straight. At last week’s shoot five men shot over 
97 per cent, and eight over 85 per cent.

Concise and to the point describes the program issued 
by the Lowell Gun Club for its shoot on Aug. 17. Here’s 
a copy: “Annual Shooting Tournament at Club Grounds, 
Lowell, Indiana, Aug. 17, 1911. Regular shooting rules 
to govern. Shells and lunch on grounds. xVverages: $3 
to high gun; $2 to making longest run; twelve 15-bird 
and one 20-bird events. Money not divided ‘Jack Rabbit’ 
system, but old way: 50, 30, 20 per cent. Targets, 2 cents 
each. VVe have always had a good crowd. Last year 
had 40 shooters. This year hope to have more. We shall 
expect you. II. O. Burnham, Secretary." 
To keep up the interest in sharp shooting in the 
National Guard is a hobby of Adjutant-General \\ illiam 
Yerbeck, head of the National Guard in New York State. 
To show his personal interest he motored to the range, 
at Syracuse last week and qualified as a sharp shooter. 
He made a score of 44, while the necessary qualification 
is 42. At 1000yds. he made 45 out of 50. He received 
two medals for his scores. Gen. Yerbeck is head of St. 
Johns Military Academy at Manlius, N. Y., one of tne 
foremost “man-making” schools in the world.

I have received a number of letters from new gun club 
men asking, “What is the Jack Rabbit system?” This is 
the answer: First of all the jack rabbit has fallen out of 
favor within recent years among promotors of big tourna¬ 
ments. It is, however, espec : ally valuable in tourna¬ 
ments where averages run from 75 to SO per cent, or less, 
and more particularly for beginners, for the reason that 
every shooter gets back an amount in ratio to his shoot¬ 
ing ability. For example: In a 20-bird match at two
