BIG GAME AT SEA 
By Charles Frederick Holder. 
Annals of Sport Royal on Salt Water 
No one is more qualified to speak with authority on 
big ga.Tie fishing than Mr. Holder. His latest book will 
be found to meet all the expectations of the angler 
whose appetite has been whetted by his shorter narratives. 
“Big Game at Sea’’ is the work of a student as welt as 
a sportsman. It contains much valuable material relating 
to the habits and history of deep sea fishes with inter¬ 
esting deductions, and plenty of stirring narrative and 
reminiscence. The book is copiously and handson.ely 
illustrated, printed on heavy paper and beautifully bound. 
Price, postpaid. $2.15

United States Revolver Association. 
Springfield, Mass.—The annual meeting of the United 
States Revolver Association was held at the 71st regi¬ 
ment Armory, N. Y. N. G., New York, N. Y. Monday 
evening, Jan. 18, 1909. 
The fact that, in the absence of a Federal corporation 
law, the association was incorporated under the laws of 
the State of New York, necessitates an annual meeting 
within the State that granted its charter. 
However, the following Executive Committee elected 
shows that it is not a “close corporation,’’ but truly 
National in scope and sympathy: J. B. Crabtree, 
Springfield, Mass., President; W. G. Krieg, Chicago, 
111., Vice-President; J. E. Silliman, New York, N. Y., 
Secretary-'!reasurer; K. H. Sayre, New York, N. Y.; 
J. R. Irego, Oakland, Cal. 
An effort will be made to extend the work of the 
association through closer relations with representatives 
in all important shooting centers. 
The annual indoor championship matches will be held 
March 14-21. A new event, a pocket revolver contest, 
has been added. 
Dr. K. H. Sayre, Messrs. A. L. A. Himmelwright and 
J. 1. Humphrey were appointed a committee to bring 
the continental target (.the one used at the Olympic 
contest) to the attention of our shooters to the end that 
they may be more familiar with the target to be used at 
the next Olympic ■ contest and also have an opportunity 
to compare their scores with those of European shoot¬ 
ers. The continental target is the one most largely used 
by revolver shooters of France, Germany, Great Britain, 
Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Austria and some South 
American countries. 
'Ihe association has added two new matches to its 
regular events, has lengthened its prize list and reduced 
its entrance fees. Never before has it been able to give 
a shooter so much for his money.

of the Massachusetts Rifle Association was held at its 
range to-day. Good .shooting conditions prevailed during

a heavy fog set in, which made shooting at long range 
impossible and caused an early cessation at the shorter 
ranges.

perfect score ot 49 out ol the possible 5U. J. Buslield led 
in the offhand shooting with 88. The scores:

SeLin Level's Boy. 
By Rowland E. Robinson. Price, $1.25. 
Sam Level’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danvis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Lovel and 
Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books 
in the series, and the boy is young Sam, their son, w ho 
grows up under the tuition of the coterie of friends that 
we know so well, becomes a man just at the time of the 
Civil War, and carries a musket m defense of what he 
believes to be the right.
