THE NARRATIVE OF A SPORTSMAN 
Inter-Ocean Hunting Tales 
EDGAR F. RANDOLPH — 
A series of hunting reminiscences of rare charm for the sportsman and for the 
wider circle which delights in true tales of outdoor life. With none of the high 
coloring and exaggeration which give a false note to so many hunting stories, Mr. 
Randolph’s book is never lacking in interest. 
He covers the field of sport with the rifle, east and west, drawing a vivid word 
picture of life in the open, subordinating his own exploits to the main incidents of 
outdoor experience, giving much valuable information on camp life, hunting and the 
habits of wild game, and continually delighting the reader with the freshness of his 
viewpoint. 
This book will strike a sympathetic chord in the memory of every big-game 
hunter of experience and will prove of real value to the novice who is planning an 
excursion into the wild.

When writing say you saw the ad. in “Forest and Stream.” 
Ohio owns a fine range, but has not the necessary 
officers and men to man it, and on the other hand, the 
general Government has the officers and men, but does 
not own a creditable rifle range on the entire Atlantic 
slope, and finds it more difficult from year to year to 
acquire suitable sites for them.” 
Among other interesting recommendations is one that 
the service teams shoot in a separate special class, and 
that the match be shot as a militia match, service teams 
equalling or exceeding the score of militia prize winners 
to receive an equal amount of prize money, and the 
three trophies to go to the highest teams, irrespective of 
whether service or militia. This would be a similar 
arrangement to that pursued with officers and enlisted 
men in the small arms competitions. Because of the 
injury to the time-honored trophies, the National, Hilton 
and Soldier of Marathon from shipping and reshipping 
each year. Col. Evans recommends they be deposited in 
the Capitol or National Museum, or some other fitting 
place, and a bronze medallion commemorative of the 
victory be given to the winner, and a duplicate be de¬ 
posited with the trophy. 
Col. Evans calls attention to the splendid showing 
made by the cadets from Annapolis, who finished seventh 
in a field of fifty, and says: “The absence of the team 
from the U. S. Military Academy was again the subject 
of adverse comment. This academy furnishes a large 
number of the officers who are to teach the subject of 
shooting to our army, and they cannot begin too early 
to learn the subject which will most occupy their time 
after they become officers.” He also recommends that 
if the Government furnishes the officers and men to 
man the range for the matches of the National Rifle 
Association, they should be under the management of 
the executive officer of the National match.
