Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, O., March 20.—Shooting conditions to-day 
were quite difficult, owing to the strong east wind, that 
lifted the targets out of their flight occasionally. While 
straights were not numerous, there were some good 
scores made. The out-of-town guests of the club were 
Mr. Horace Heikes, of Dayton, O., who has not been 
shooting much of late on account of a bad shoulder; Mr. 
C. A. Young, of Springfield, O.; Mr. Frank and Mr. 
Swickard, of New Albany. 
The Columbus ten-man team was defeated at Circle- 
ville, O., bn March 18 in a 50-targeK race by 6 targets. 
A challenge has been issued to Circleville for a match 
at Columbus on April 1, which has been accepted. 
Springfield, O., will in all probability have a ten-man 
team up on April 1, and Lancaster, O., which will make 
a fine afternoon’s shoot. A banquet will be served at 
the club house immediately following the shoot. 
The special attraction at the tournament on April 7-9 
will be a three-man team race between Toledo and 
Columbus, and arrangements are being made to have a 
ten-man team race between Cleveland and Columbus, O. 
During the tournament there will also be a special five- 
man team race. Tha ten-man team contest will cpnsist 
of three races, the best two out of three to be the winner. 
Dr. Warlow did splendid with his new gun .'Saturday. 
Joe Wells has finally parted with his fine gun. He is 
entitled to the championship of America, in the way of 
a gun owner. Joe has owned and shot during the past 
four Y^ars seventy-three guns, and he is now on his 
seventy-fourth. How is that for a record. Kauffman, of 
Dublin, showed up in good form. Fishinger says he will 
be on hand for April 1. Mr. Bassell says that he doesri’t 
want to get the gun-changing fever that is epidemic in 
Columbus. Mr. Cumberland shot a good clip in the 
wind. Webster, as usual, piled up a fine score in the 
gale. Swickard, of Albany, is getting them lined up and 
will soon be among the good ones. Jack Smith tried a 
single barrel Saturday and seemed to find them very 
well after he shot a few. Spring will soon be here, and 
then shooting will begin in earnest.

Montclair vs. Whitehouse. 
March 20. — The Montclair Gun Cliib took ten of the 
members to Whitehouse, N. J., and shot a ten-man team 
race at 50 targets per man, the losers to pay for the 
targets. Notwithstanding the high wind, some good 
scores were made by both teams, although two of the 
best marksmen of the Montclair team. Palmer and 
Moffett, were unable to go, thus making it necessary to 
substitute Winslow and Cockefair, the visitors won by 
a margin of 20 targets. Scores:

An Absolute Waterproofing Solution for Dry Flies 
A Dry Artificial Fly can be dropped 
on water to look like a Live Fly ; 
a water soaked one cannot. 
Any angler can readily see the advantage in 
handling Dry Flies, both for convenience and 
efficiency. 
To fool the trout, get as near to nature as pos¬ 
sible. Natural Flies are on top of the water, 
not swimming below the surface, consequently 
‘*I)RIFLI’^ gets near to nature and fills the 
trout basket. 
Directions: 
Dip the flies into the “DRIFLI,** let stand for 
one minute, then press lightly betwen blotting 
paper. The Flies prepared in this way with 
‘‘DRIFLI” are guaranteed to float for 12 hours 
or more continual use, and not only that, but 
makes the Fly last much longer. Leaves no oil 
rings on’surface of water. Sold at all Sporting

Steel Fishing Rods 
Ideal for Brook Trout or any wary fish. An Old 
Guide says: “A ‘BRISTOL' is harder for the fish to 
see over still water, doesn’t break half so easily, 
lasts four times as long, is more reliable, and more 
satisfactory and costs less.” He ought to know. 
He has been guiding fishermen—;green and expert 
—for two generations:- has received many rods of 
all kinds as gifts, but sticks to his “BRISTOL." 
Get one or two for your fishing trip this year. Re¬ 
member, all steel rods are not “BRISTOLS”. If 
you want the Three Year Guarantee, ask for “BRIS¬ 
TOL" by name. Sold by best dealers everywhere.

ANGLING MEMORIES 
Seasonable Books for the Sportsman's Library 
MEN I HAVE FISHED WITH 
MY ANGLING FRIENDS 
Both by FRED MATHER 
These two volumes are a source of endless delight to the fisherman. They 
deal with every phase of the gentle sport from bent pins and willow poles to 
salmon flies and special rods—with every kind of fish as well. 
They are full of a quaint philos.ophy, written with a rare appreciation of 
human nature, and comprising sketches of angling “characters” as well as well- 
known men who were Mr. Mather’s brethren of the angle. Much of other 
sport and adventure beside fishing will be found between the covers of these 
books. These two large, splendidly bound, splendidly printed, and richly illus¬ 
trated volumes of 400 pages each regularly sell for $2 each. While they last
