The honor of having made the highest individual score 
in the match goes to A. A. Leech, Jr., of Columbia Uni¬ 
versity, who made 49 points standing and 49 points 
prone, a total of 98 out of a possible ICO. 
The winning team, as well as ten others, used the 
United States Army .22 caliber gallery rifle in the 
match. The other six used the Winchester .22 caliber 
musket. All used a .22 caliber short cartridge. The 
match was shot at 50 feet on a National Rifle Associa¬ 
tion target having a one-inch bullseye; ten students 
composed a team, each member of which fired 10 shots 
standing and 10 shots prone. The possible score which 
a team could make would be 1,000 points, so that the 
winning team made the excellent score of only 51 points 
less than the possible, or an average of 94.9 per man, 
which shows efficiency in team work and conscientious 
training. . r r- .. xr u- 
The winning team was in charge of Capt. D. h.. 
Mitchell, the United States Army officer detailed to the 
college as military instructor. 
Of the seventeen institutions competing, fourteen were 
land grant or agricultural colleges having military de¬ 
partments. These colleges are issued arms and ammu¬ 
nition by the Government and are in much better shape 
to carry on rifle practice work than such institutions 
as Yale, Harvard, Columbia and Princeton. The mem¬ 
bers of such teams must buy their own rifles and am¬ 
munition. Even this privilege is denied the riflemen of 
Harvard University. In 1905 Congress passed a law 
authorizing the Chief of Ordnance, U. S. A., to sell 
the Government rifle to rifle clubs affiliated with the 
National Rifle Association, if the Governor of the State 
approved. The Governor of Massachusetts would not 
approve of such sale to the Harvard Club. 
There are fifty-four State colleges in the United States 
having military departments under the control of the 
W^ar Department. That only fourteen of these could 
get together rifle teams does not speak well for the 
military efficiency in these institutions. A good soldier 
is not made by close order drilling, whereas good rifle 
work is the keynote to military efficiency. 
Los Angeles (Cal.) Revolver Club. 
Los .A.NGELES, CaU April 6.—A telegraphic match be¬ 
tween teams of the Colonial Revolver Club, of St. Louis, 
Mo., and the Los Angeles Revolver Club was held 
April 4, the Los Angeles club winning by the small 
margin of 12 points. The conditions were 30 shots ^er 
man at 50yds. on the Standard American target. Six 
points off for pistols. 
Every member of the Los Angeles team used revolvers, 
Will A. Wright using a .22 caliber revolver, which was 
made by a Los Angeles gunsmith.

St. Louis Central Sharpshooters’ Association. 
St. Louis, Mo., April 4.— A 30-miIe southwest wind 
striking the shooters in the face from the left-hand side 
made shooting so uncertain that the first regular monthly 
prize shoot of the season had to be postponed. A little 
practice shooting took place, but the wind kept the gun 
barrels moving so that the best of shots had a hard time 
to score 200 points out of 250, and no records were kept. 
Capt. Siepe, of the trap department, had a squad of 
his experts present, and Chief of Police Creecy brought 
Miss King, the well-known lady shot, out, but on account 
of the wind only a few of the shotgun men cared to 
take a try at the clay birds. Five of the gallants went 
forth to make a try for the lady’s entertainment, and 
she, to show her appreciation, went out and set them a 
pace that was far too hot for them. The wind blew 
squarely in their faces, and the targets had a nasty 
way of sailing out a few yards, then taking a sharp up¬ 
ward movement, which made the shooting very uncer¬ 
tain; but the) results were very good, considering the 
conditions. Here are the results of each 25 shots: Miss 
King 17, 19, 22; C. W. Bauer, 15, 19; Nick Matheis 20,16; 
W. Sandman, 19, 16; C. Schroeck 19, 16; Capt. J. 
Siepe 20, 16. 
Los Angeles—Colonial. 
St. Louis.—The Los Angeles Revolver Club de¬ 
feated the Colonial Revolver Club in a special team race 
April 4, with the fine score of 2494. Scores made by 
the local team were very good considering weather con- 
mtions. High winds and changing light made shooting 
difficult. Scores, 30 shots at 50yds.:

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 
‘‘BRIFLI” 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 
Goods Stores. Price

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
