Will be a leisure-hour occupation in many a family this winter. House¬ 
boating has come among us to stay, and promises to be even more 
popular than in England itself. Every one who is interested in houseboats 
or who contemplates taking up this feature of outdoor life, should read 
Mr. Albert Bradlee Hunt’s practical, and, at the same time, beautiful work 
on the houseboat and its adaptation to American waters. 
Houseboats and Houseboating 
Covers the entire range of its title, considers the use and opportunities of 
the houseboat; their relation to city and surburban life; construction, 
furnishing, motive power, and all the thousand and one details, the knowl¬ 
edge of which spells the difference between success and failure in houseboat 
building and houseboat life. 
Details, plans, drawings and specifications illuminate the text, while 
life on houseboats is interestingly described. Some of the more noted 
English and American houseboats and the life thereon are also described 
at length with illustrations. Buckram, heavy paper, sumptuously illus¬ 
trated. 
Postpaid, $3.34.

Sportsman's Show Championship. 
J. Ehrlich, of Morris High School, won the rifle 
championship of Greater New York, at Madison Square 
Garden, in the competition provided at the Sportsman’s 
Show, which closed on Saturday of last week. He totaled 
the extraordinary score of 598 out of a possible 600, the 
aggregate of the competition for the Winchester trophy, 
the Hopkins and Allen trophy and the sub-target in¬ 
dividual trophy. He scored 198 for the Winchester 
trophy. In the other two contests, he made perfect 
scores. This competition was held under the auspices of 
the Public School Athletic League. With the cham¬ 
pionship title goes the medal emblematic of it. The 
medal was donated by the U. M. C. Co. Ehrlich won 
all the other trophies, except that for the highest score 
made on one ticket, which was won by J. Linnicus, also 
of Morris High School. 
The sub-target individual contest resulted in a tie be¬ 
tween Ehrlich, of Morris; S. Hubbard, of De Witt (Clin¬ 
ton, and W. 'V'oorhis, of Manual Training School.^ Sev¬ 
eral shoot-offs resulted in as many ties, whereupon it was 
decided that the boys should draw for it. Hubbard was 
the lucky one in the draw, thereby winning the prize. 
J. Byrnes, of Morris; C. Brown, of Clinton, and C. 
Austrian, of Stuyvesant, also had perfect scores of 50, but 
were shot out in the tie.
