THE SUMMER HOME OF TO MORROW 
Houseboats and Houseboating 
N' 
ALBERT BRADLEE HUNT 
"OT only the best, but the only practical book for the yearly increasing num¬ 
bers who see in the Houseboat the solution of the great summer problem. 
Deals with a phase of country life as yet little known in this country, but well 
developed in England, which offers boundless possibilities not only to the wealthy, 
but to the family of moderate means in search of a summer home. 
Mr. Hunt has dealt with houseboating from the water up, considering in detail 
various types and classes with full directions for construction and furnishing, and 
practical hints for dealing with the daily problems of the houseboater. He shows 
how at slight expense the acme of summer comfort may be obtained within easy 
reach of the city, and how the houseboat makes change of scene not only possible 
but easy. Special consideration is given power houseboats and auxiliary power 
boats. 
All this is accompanied by copious notes, drawings, builders’ plans and illus¬ 
trations of actual houseboats and houseboat life. Superbly illustrated, heavy paper, 
232 pages. 
A Work of Rare Beauty and Interest. 
Price, $3 Net. Postage, 34 Cents.

A Welcome Home to the Victorious Rifle Team. 
That the United States has always shown a luke¬ 
warm interest in the winning of honors abroad by her 
citizens is unfortunately too true. There will, however, 
be one exception to this general rule if the friends and 
admirers of the riflemen who won the world’s champion¬ 
ship at the Olympic games in England succeed in 
carrying out their plans. It is proposed to give General 
Drain and his keen-eyed shooters a royal welcome on 
their return to this country on Aug. 8 , and to that, end 
a fund is being raised by a popular $1 subscription, 
through the National Rifle Association of America, whose 
headquarters are in Washington, D. C. 
That the Government is anxious to do all it can to 
show its appreciation for the brilliant work done by 
those representatives of the citizen soldiery is evident 
through its placing at the disposal of the Welcome Home 
Committee one of the largest revenue cutters in the 
service to take the committee down the bay to meet the 
steamship “New York” bearing the team. The courtesy 
of the port has been extended to the riflemen, which 
will enable them to leave the ship at quarantine and 
board the Reception Committee’s boat. General Oliver, 
Assistant Secretary of War, has appointed a committee 
on reception from the members of the National Board 
for the Promotion of Rifle Practice to act in conjunction 
with a similar committee appointed by _ the Executive 
Committee of the National Rifle Association. _ In ad¬ 
dition to these members many prominent officials have 
also consented to serve, among whom may be men¬ 
tioned Acting Secretary of the Navy Newberry; General 
Grant and staff, ,of Governor’s Island; Governor Hughes, 
of New York, or his representative; Mayor McClellan 
or his representative; General William P. Hall, Adjutant 
General, U. S. A.; General Elliot, commanding U. S. 
Marine Corps; Lieutenant Commander Sims, Inspector 
of Target Practice, U. S. M. C.; and several other high 
army officials. Representing the National Guard may 
be mentioned General Riggs, commanding the Maryland 
National Guard; General Wanser, commanding the New 
Jersey National Guard; General Roe, commanding the 
New York National Guard; Adjutant General Critchfield, 
of Ohio; Adjutant General Perry, of Indiana; Colonel 
Caswell, I. G. R. P., of Massachusetts; Colonel Thurs¬ 
ton, Ordnance Officer of New York; Colonel Fox, of the 
74th New York Infantry, and Colonel Dungan of the 
2d New Jersey Infantry. On the return trip up the bay 
of the revenue cutter it is proposed to hold a reception 
on board to the victorious team, when addresses of wel¬ 
come will be made, followed by luncheon. At first it 
was proposed to hold this reception in the evening at 
one of the New York armories, but the team was de¬ 
layed in England, owing to the ceremony of presenting 
the prizes they won to them by the Oueen. This cere¬ 
mony did not take place until July 25, the date they 
originally expected to arrive home. Most of the mem¬ 
bers of the team are due at Camp Perry, Ohio, where 
the big annual matches are to be he’d, by Aug. 10, the 
matches beginning that date, so that no time is left 
them for sightseeing or ceremonies in New York city. 
It is probable that most of the team will take an after¬ 
noon train for Ohio. 
Lieut. Jones, secretary of the National Rifle Associa¬ 
tion, who is making arrangements, states that accommoda¬ 
tions will be made for fifty guests on board of the cutter, 
in addition to the Reception Committee of twenty-five. 
This is done to enable the delegations from organiza¬ 
tions having members on the team, friends and relatives, 
to join in the ceremonies of welcome. The 74th Regi¬ 
ment of Buffalo, of which Ordnance Sergeant Leushner, 
who was high man in the match, is a member, will send 
a de'egation headed bv Colonel Fox; the 2d New Jersey 
Infantry, Major W. B. Martin’s regiment, will also be 
well represented; Col. Dungan, the commmanding officer, 
has said, “We cannot do too much to show our ap¬ 
preciation of the honor Major Martin has brought upon j 
the regiment.” The big matches at Camp Perry will keep | 
many of the friends of the Ohio members of the team I 
from taking part in the reception. 
The headquarters in New York of the Reception Com- I 
mittee will be at the Hotel Belmont. 
New York Rifle Association. 
The New York Rifle Association will hold its fifth I 
annual meeting at Sea Girt, IN. J., this year, Sept. 4-12. J 
The Creedmoor, L. I., range being dosed, this is the | 
most expedient arrangement at present. Arrangements 1 
have been made with several of the passenger associa- | 
tions for a special rate of 1 3-5 fare. The New York j 
Revolver Association will hold its matches on Sept. 5-8. 1
