Uncle Lisha^s Shop. 
Life in a Corner of Yankeeland. By Rowland E. Robin¬ 
son. Cloth. 187 pages. Price, $1.25. 
The shop itself, the place of business of Uncle Lisha 
Peggs, bootmaker and repairer, was a sort of sportsman’s 
exchange, where, as one of the fraternity expressed it, 
the hunters and fishermen of the widely scattered neigh¬ 
borhood used to meet of evenings and dull outdoor days 
“to swap lies.’’

Telegraph Matches. 
A SERIES of telegraphic 5-man team matches has been 
arranged by Dr. I. P. Gould, of the Northern Kentucky 
Gun Club, Dayton, Ky. The scheme is similar in scope 
to that which has been successful in rifle and revolver 
contests, and should create considerable interest. Among 
the clubs which have consented to join this “National 
League of Trapshooters” are St. Louis, Indianapolis 
and Cincinnati, the latter team to be made up of 
shooters in that city and the over the river towns. 
Several clubs of other cities have signified their in¬ 
tention to enter the League. Two matches are to be 
shot each month. Following are the conditions govern¬ 
ing the contests: 
1. A 5-man team of bona fide amateurs shall shoot 
twice a month in competition as per schedule. 
_ 2. The members of the team may be changed from 
time to time as the management may deem best, but 
no member can be withdrawn during an event; said 
event to consist of 20 targets. 
3. Eaeh contest shall consist of five events, 20 targets 
each, or 500 targets per team. 
4. The referee shall be some disinterested person who 
shall sign and send and mail all scores to the National 
Secretary, D. H. Eaton, 318 East Fourth street, Cin¬ 
cinnati, Ohio. 
5. These contests shall be governed by Interstate 
rules. 
6. Each team will do its own handicapping, all start¬ 
ing at 16yds. The succeeding handicaps will be de¬ 
termined by the average of its preceding race; 80 per 
cent, and under at 16yds.; 81 to 85 per cent., 17yds.; 
86 to OO per cent., 18yds.; 91 to 96 per cent., 19yds.; 
96 per cent, or over, 20yds. 
7. The teams opposing each other shall telegraph their 
total score to the secretary of their opponent immedi¬ 
ately after contest. 
8. All scores, individuals and totals, shall be mailed 
to the League Secretary for publication and compiling. 
9. It is not necessary that opposing teams shoot their 
matches on the same day, but the matches must be shot 
as per schedule, either during the first or last part of 
the month.

Ossining, N. Y., April 8.—There was an impromptu
