Providence (R. I.) Revolver Club. 
Providence, R. I., Aug. 29.—The cool weather that has 
favored our locality lately has made our shooting house 
1 a more comfortable place than it has been the past two 
months, and to-day a good gathering of the boys was 
1 on hand to start in on their fall shooting. The scores 
.j were as follows: 
Revolver and nistol, 50yds.: Tosb'n. 90. SI, 79, S5, 79, 90,

PUBLISHERS’ DEPARTMENT. 
Drv hunting boots are one of the first essentials to 
comfort in the woods. Every man who handles gun or 
rod has struggled with the problem of how to keep the 
feet dry. In our advertising columns the Providence Oil 
Co. advertises a waterproofing oil which is specially pre¬ 
pared to meet the needs of outdoor men. 
The 3-in-l Oil Company, one of our advertisers, has 
brought out a most delightful two-sten, entitled “The 
Three-in-One Two-Step.” These music sheets will be sent 
to any reader of Forest and Stream, who mentions the 
name of this magazine and incloses 10 cents to the 
Three-In-One Oil Company, 42 Broadway, New York. 
LABOR DAY REGATTAS.

down the bay to sail one race this season over 
, the courses that used some years ago be so 
popular. 
On Saturday of next week the Crescent 
Athletic Club will have an open regatta for the 
usual classes on the Lower Bay. and the Wed¬ 
nesday following there will be the race for the 
cup offered by Commodore Francis Wilson. 
This cup is for all yachts, 33ft. and under, sail¬ 
ing in one class, and the trophy will go to the 
yacht making the best corrected time over a 
I special course. This cup is similar to the Cor¬ 
inthian prize on the Sound, and will stand for 
the championship of the Lower Bay. There will 
be full time allowance, except that yachts under 
1 15ft. will rate at 15ft. in computing the allow- 
! ance. 
Henry Howard Back. 
Henry Howard, of the Eastern Y. C., who 
j went abroad as chairman of the German-Ameri- 
, can race committee of the Eastern Y. C., re¬ 
turned last week on the Mauretania. Mr. 
Howard conferred with the representatives of 
the Kaiserlicher Y. C., and as a result three 
German Sonder class boats will come here 
j next summer to race against three American 
boats in a series of races sailed off Marblehead. 
Mr. Howard said: 
“The races will be held on the first of Septem¬ 
ber of next year. The Kaiserlicher Y. C., rep- 
1 resenting Germany, will select from the German 
! yachts the three fastest Sonder class boats of 
I Germany. The Eastern Y. C. will select the 
I three fastest Sonder class boats of this country. 
making an endeavor to get the western part of 
: our country interested, so that if there are 
■ vessels on the Great Lakes which will make , 
j good competitors to the Germans they may be \ 
brought forth. It is hard to predict which coun¬ 
try will win the next contest, rapid improve- 
i ments being constantly made on each side of 
f the water. Each side has won one of these 
1 matches. The rules and regulations will be pub¬ 
lished shortly and yachtsmen invited to build 
and take part in the eliminating trials.”

Every one who owns a dog should possess this invalu¬ 
able nook, which has been long in preparation, and has 
been pronounced by a competent authority for ahead of 
any other work yet attempted upon the subject. The 
minuteness with which every detail is considered leaves 
little or nothing for any future work to attempt. Es- 
pecmUy important chapters are those on eczema, the 
different kinds of mange, poisons, distemper, hydro- 
phobia, ear and eye diseases, vaginal diseases, diseases 
of the urinary and sexual organs, and pneumonia (an 
especially valuable contribution), also the portions of 
the work which are devoted to symptoms and diagnosis. 
The work is entirely devoid of technical terms, and is 
written in such entertaining style, that any one with a 
love of dogs would find it not only valuable and help¬ 
ful, but interesting as well.

My Life As Aiv Indian 
All That the Title Implies and More 
Probably the most faithful picture of Indian 
life ever drawn from the pen of a man who 
spent years among the Blackfeet, marrying into 
the tribe and becoming to all practical intents 
an Indian. 
Mr. Schultz tells of the life of the plains In¬ 
dian, when war and hunting were the occupations 
of every man, when the buffalo still covered the 
prairie, and the Indian was as yet little touched 
by contact with civilization. He describes as one 
who has lived the life, the daily routine of the 
great camp, the lives of the men and women, 
the gambling, the quarreling, the love making, 
the wars, the trading of the Indians. 
The narrative is full of intense human in¬ 
terest, and the requisite touch of romance is 
supplied in the character of Nat-ah-ki, the beau¬ 
tiful Indian girl, who became the author’s wife. 
Price, $1.65 postpaid.
