general and trying to overcome the difference between the 
10-ring and edge of target. Now and then a high score 
is shot, but the boys on the whole have fallen off some¬ 
what during the past few months. 
Lieut. Miller challenged Pvt. Gardiner to a 50-shot 
match at 20yds. The match was on in a few minutes, 
and when finished, resulted as follows: 
Miller, revolver .75 74 84 77 74-(-20—404 
Gardiner, pistol .72 83 86 80 SO —401 
On the 16th we shoot a telegraph match with the Miles 
Standish boys, of Portland, Me. We have accepted for 
ten men to a team. Why, we hardly know, except that 
there may be no hard feeling, that any one is debarred 
from shooting. It will be a slaughter of the inno¬ 
cents, the latter being us.

The weather conditions were so bad on March 2 that 
Dr. Palmer was the only member sufficiently enthusiastic 
to venture out. However, several prospective new mem¬ 
bers put us to shame by being present as visitors, even 
if they did have to wade across the meadow through 
the deep snow water. The Doctor brought out a new 
Bisley model .38. which he has been anxiously waiting 
for for some weeks, and it must be to his liking, as he 
surpassed his best previous record with a fine score of 
D2 on Standard target at 50vds. Messrs. Smith. Hunting- 
ton, Dill and Shaw were present as visitors, but did not 
record any scores.

March 9.—The little bunch of faithful attendants were 
out at the regular shoot held to-day, and there were also 
a couple of visiters present. Much to everybody’s and 
his own surprise, Stubbs, who has not been able to visit 
the range all winter, appeared on the scene, accompanied 
by Mr. Overbaugh, with one of the new .35cal. Reming¬ 
ton automatic rifles, which was inspected by our mem¬ 
bers with great interest. The open sights on this arm 
had been moved, and it required several shots before the 
front sight was properly aligned, but after finding the 
elevation and windage, Stubbs fired a string of ten 
shots at 200yds., German %in. ring target, which counted 
188, or 44 Creedmoor, including a run of 23, 20, 18, 25, 24 
for five consecutive shots. Mr. Overbaugh also fired the 
rifle, using the clip, and in rapid fire the five shots were 
well bunched. Mr. Harry Dill, a visitor, was shooting a 
new model .38 target revolver, but kept no record of the 
scores. 
The following scores were recorded, 200yds., rifle and 
50vds. revolver:

Rifle at Shell Mound. 
San Francisco, Cal., March 4.—The local rifle clubs 
have begun the shooting season with much enthusiasm. 
Yesterday at Schuetzen Park, the following clubs held 
medal shoots: Swiss Rifle Club, the Gruetli Shooting 
Section, and the California Schuetzen Club. 
Shell Mound range was formally opened with a shoot 
for cash prizes. Capt. Siebe, the owner, has put the 
range and park in fine condition. This favorite range 
ought to witness some fine rifle and pistol work this year. 
The chief prizes to-day were offered for the best four 
shot tickets. D. B. Faktor was first with 97 rings, A. 
Strecker 94, Darrell 93. McLaughlin, Schuster and Fraser, 
of Los Angeles, each 92. 
The following clubs shot at Shell Mound: Deutscher 
Krteger Yerein, Independent Riles, and the Shell Mound 
Tistol and Rifle Club. The L T niversity of California Rifle 
Club shot against the Independent Club with Springfield 
rifles, and won the contest, 844 to 756. 
In the last issue of Forest and Stream you publish 
the scores of the Massachusetts Rifle Association. I 
think your riflemen readers throughout the country will 
be greatly pleased if you see fit to give them regularly 
the scores of this collection of skillful riflemen. 
f l am also delighted to see the present movement 
toward developing skill with and love for the rifle among 
the school lads of the country. I would like to see a 
squad of boys in every school in the land placed under 
the tuition of a real lover of fine marksmanship.

ROWLAND E. ROBINSON’S 
Danvis Books. 
These books have taken their place as classics in the 
literature of New England village and woods life. Mr. 
Robinson’s characters are peculiar, quaint and lovable; 
one reads of them now with smiles and now with tear* 
(and need not be ashamed to own to the tears). Mr. 
Robinson writes of nature with marvelous insight; hi* i* 
the readv word, the phrase, to make a bit of landscape, a 
scene of outdoors, stand out clear and vivid like a 
startling flashing out from the reader’s own memory.
