Uncle Lisha^s Shop. 
Life in a Corner of Yankeeland. By Rowland E. 
Robinson. 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.”

Sam LovePs Boy. 
By Rowland E. Robinson. Price, $1.25. 
Sam Level’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danvis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Level and 
Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books 
in the series, and the boy is young Sam, their son, who 
grows up under the tuition of the coterie of friends that 
we know so well, becomes a man just at the time of the 
Civil War, and carries a musket in defense of what he 
believes to be the right.

and force systems of education, and contains an exhaus¬ 
tive description of the uses and abuses of the spike collar,

at the grounds to-day and found the weather conditions 
hardly up to expectations, but still a most enjoyable after¬ 
noon was passed. 
One W. F. Clarke, with his latest single barrel creation, 
was the top-notcher, and placed a nice 86 to his credit, 
which was two too many for the old standby Charlie 
Frost. Charlie could have had something to say about 
the high average if he had not stubbed his toe in one of 
the 10-bird events. 
In the special 50-target cup race, Horrigan won out at 
the last corner, his liberal handicap being too much for 
the others to overcome. Scores:
