As in the five previous contests, John Taylor Hum¬ 
phrey represented the Cercle des Carabiniers, while A. 
Celisse acted in the same capacity for the Americans. 
Although the Americans, who shot at the Armbruster 
ranges in Greenville, N. J,, outscored their foreign rivals 
with the revolvers by 31 points, their total in the rifle 
competition was nearly three hundred points less than 
that made by the Parisian crack shots, Mr. De Cassel- 
bajac’s score of 777 with the revolver constitutes a new 
world’s record. 
Three Americans returned scoies that were better 
than the highest individual total made by the winners, 
but the Parisians had the more perfectly balanced team. 
Dr. W. G. Hudson led the New York representatives 
with 1,496, while Mr. Regaud’s total of 1,470 gave him 
the individual honors for his side. 
Each contestant was allowed forty shots with a rifle 
and an equal number with a revolver. In each case a 
shot that pierced the bullseye of the target was credited 
with a total of twenty points, while the less successful 
attempts were valued in proportion to their distance from 
the center of- the ta^feet. The American scores were:

young, willing or unwilling, may be taught to retrieve, 
either by the force system or the “natural method.’’ 
Both the theory and practice of training are exhaus¬ 
tively explained, and the manner of teaching many 
related accomplishments of the pointer and setter in their 
work to the gun is treated according to the modem 
manner of dog training.

An Absolute Waterproofing Solution for 
Dry Flies 
A Dry Artificial Fly can be dropped 
oa water to look like a Live Fly; 
a water soaked one cannot. 
Anj angler can readily see the advantage in handling 
Dry Flies, both for convenience and effldeney. 
To fool the trout, get as near to nature as possible. 
Natural Flies are on top of the water, not swimming 
below the surface, consequently **DRIFLI** gets near 
to nature and fills the trout basket 
Direetions t Dip the flies into the “DRIFLI/* let 
stand for one minute, then press lightly between 
blotting paper. The Flies prepared in this way with 
“DRirH” are Knsrsnteed to float for IS houn or more continual 
me, and not only that, but the Fly lasts much loneer Leavee 
no oil rinjo on of yrator. Sold at all Sportinj Goods Stores. Prise 
2K Centa. Send to day for descriptive circular. 
Improved by line guide attachment and double thick edges which 
overcomes trouble of denting that interfered with running of spool 
on the old reel. We are also using a stronger spring. 
All parts of the reel have been readjusted so that we are positively 
sure the Reel cannot get out of order without accident 
Try a “Kelso” Automatic Reel for Fly Fishing, and you will never 
want any other. 
Keeps the line taut and the fish is continually working against 
the spring of the reel _ __ 
or the spring of the rod; Ss. the 1909 “KELSO’ 
no opportunity for the 
fish to get a slack line. 
Weight correct to bal¬ 
ance 4 1-2 oz. rod. Capa¬ 
city 100 yards of No. 6 
line. The spring has a 
friction relief action, so 
that it takes the place 
of the throw-off, with¬ 
out injury to the Reel. 
Can be used on the rod 
either above or below 
the hand. 
Price $5.00. Send for descriptive 
circular. Catalogue to the trade only.

Take a “BRISTOL” Rod on your vacation. No 
matter how many other fishing rods you have, 
take a “BRISTOL.” An argument for a 
“BRISTOL” Rod is the rod itself; 20 years of 
proven satisfaction has given them a deserved 
reputation of superiority in appearance, durabil¬ 
ity, beauty and all desirable qualities. Buy 
“BRISTOL” Rods of your home dealer. But 
if he tries to sell a substitute, then please write

inconvenience or extra expense. Every 
“BRISTOL” Rod is guaranteed for 3 years.

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 philosophy, 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, splen¬ 
didly bound, splendidly printed, and richly illustrated volumes of 400 pages each regu¬ 
larly sell for $2 each. While they last we offer 
Both together, postpaid, for $3.00
