One of the old and much alive gun clubs is that of 
Mankato, Minn., which will hold the annual meeting this 
week to elect officers and to plan for the summer's 
shooting. 
Encouraged by the success of the shoot held last Sun¬ 
day week, the members of the Modesto, Cal., Gun Club

in the experts who attend the Spokane shoot. 
A large attendance of the members of the Ottumwa, 
la.. Gun Club was reported, and twenty new members 
were added to the list. There will be regular weekly 
shoots held during the season at the fair grounds park.

President. A. J. Miller; Secretary, N. K. Alderdice, and

club grounds of the Marion, Ind., Gun Club aver that 
they are second to none in the State. 
The Union Hardware Company, of Torrington, Conn., 
has acquired the old business of the Bridgeport Gun

It is probable that the various gun clubs of Dayton, 
O., will all unite into one club. Committees from those 
clubs are now consulting on the proposition. 
Last Friday the Riverdale Gun Club, Toronto, Can., 
held a very successful shooting tournament. During the 
forenoon there were thirty-two shooters in the sweep-

The St. Louis Trapshooters’ Association now has 190 
members, and while they are going to hold the State 
shoot this year this organization will ask for the 1908 
G. A. H. And there is no doubt but that they could 
handle it, as there is Jimmy Bell for secretary, who has 
had much experience with the G. A. H. shoots at In¬ 
dianapolis. 
A plan to bring together all rod and gun cranks of 
the State of Michigan is now well under way. Tem¬ 
porary officers have been selected thus: Chairman, F.

which was published serially in Forest and 
Stream as by W. B. Anderson, will soon be 
issued over the author’s true name, J. W. 
Schultz, and under the new title 
Ny Life As An Indian 
The story is one of the most faithful pictures 
of human life ever drawn. It tells of the life 
of the plains Indian in the old days, when buf¬ 
falo hunting and journeys to war were the oc¬ 
cupations of every man. It describes the every 
day life of the great camn tells how the men and 
women passed their time, how the young men 
gambled, how they courted their sweethearts, 
how the traders imposed on the Indians, and 
how the different tribes fought together. The 
one central figure of the book is 
Nat-ah'-ki, 
the beautiful Indian girl who became the author’s 
wife. 
But it is needless to describe this book to 
readers of Forest and Stream. Those who read 
it as a serial will surely want the volume on 
their library shelves. Price, $1.65, postpaid.

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 tears 
(and need not be ashamed to own to the tears). Mr. 
Robinson writes of nature with marvelous insight; his is 
the ready 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.

The “Forest and Stream” 
TRAP SCORE BOOK 
meets the needs of gun clubs and shooters in every par¬ 
ticular. The 150 sheets are heavily ruled—an advantage 
all scorers will appreciate, particularly when working in 
a dim light. The horizontal spaces are numbered from 
1 to 30. Broad perpendicular lines divide these into 
groups of six; thus the squads are distinguished at a 
glance. 
The paper manifolds easily, and carbon sheets are 
placed in the book for that purpose. 
It contains the American Shooting Association Rules 
for Live-Bird Shooting, for Double Live-Bird Shooting, 
for Inanimate Target Shooting, Hurlingham Revised 
Live-Bird Rules for single and double rises, and the 
Rose System of dividing purses. Price, $1.00.

spect.” Sent postpaid on receipt of price, $1.00.
