FOREST AND STREAM 
5'5 
The Philadelphia Rifle Association. 
The regular weekly shoot held on March 23 was well 
attended. Seven new members have been elected during 
the past week, Messrs. Harry Overbaugh, James H. 
Eyster, George Hugh Smith, J. Jaques, Robert Bright, 
Walter L. Smith and Dr. Edgar H. Byers, and more to 
come. We also had with us as a visitor Mr. Joseph S. 
Bryan, who shot a good score of 74 with pocket revolver. 
It is with regret that we learn that our faithful mem¬ 
ber, Dr. Palmer, expects soon to leave for the West, to 
be gone all summer. We shall certainly miss him. We 
were thinking of getting up a team of doctors from 
our club to challenge a similar team, but perhaps we 
can arrange to do this in the fall, after Dr. Palmer re¬ 
turns. We hope he will have an enjoyable trip. 
Mr. George Hugh Smith brought out some beautiful 
specimens of the gunmaker’s art, a gold-plated pistol 
and copper-plated revolver. Pie had the misfortune to 
drop the former on the cement walk and demolished the 
front sight. However, this did not prevent him from 
recording a clean score of 36. 
Mr. Walter L. Smith shot with a .38 military, but no 
scores for record. Dr. Byers brought out a .33cal., but 
met with some misfortune, which prevented him finish¬ 
ing a score. 
There seems to be a growing demand among our mem¬ 
bers for an indoor range, and a committee has been ap¬ 
pointed to examine locations. We hope to have the de¬ 
tails arranged in a short time. 
The following scores were recorded with rifle at 200yds. 
and pistol at 50yds.:

Providence Revolver Club. 
The following scores made in the U. S. R. A. indoor 
matches last week show winners of positions. Totals 
were not alarming, but the boys who love the six-shooter 
were pleased to see their favorites ahead of the target 
I pistols used by some of the members who are being 
accused of being too lazy to load ammunition.
