No one is more qualified to speak with authority on 
big game fishing than Mr. Holder. His latest book will 
be found to meet all the expectations of the angler 
whose appetite has been whetted by his shorter narratives. 
“Big Game at Sea” is the work of a student as well as 
a sportsman. It contains much valuable material relating 
to the habits and history of deep sea fishes with inter¬ 
esting deductions, and plenty of stirring narrative and 
reminiscence. The book is copiously and handsomely 
illustrated, printed on heavy paper and beautifully bound.

National Board for Promotion of 
Rifle Practice. 
Washington, D. C.—While not even the most op¬ 
timistic of those interested in rifle practice expect it to 
rival baseball and footballl as an attractive feature of 
student life at the larger colleges and universities, never¬ 
theless the increase of interest manifested in fifle prac¬ 
tice work, both outdoors and indoors at the colleges and 
'universities, has been highly gratifying. Some three or 
four years ago a beautiful trophy was secured for the 
intercollegiate rifle match. This is a shield of bronze 
mounted on oak. The inscription is in the center, and 
at the bottom is a book of loosely opened bronze leaves, 
on which the name of the winning college is inscribed, 
together with data concerning the team and its record. 
This trophy was won in 1905 by Princeton University, 
and in 1906 and 1908 by George Washington University, 
of Washington, D. C There was no contest for it in 
1907. There is great difficulty in securing the attendance 
of many teams at the intercollegiate match because it is 
impossible to hold the same outdoors in the winter, and 
in the summer time the students are scattered and it is 
impossible to secure teams from any large number of 
colleges. It is expected that during the present winter 
correspondence matches will be held among the colleges 
and universities affiliated with the National Rifle Asso¬ 
ciation, which may be shot on indoor ranges. The gov¬ 
ernment is greatly interested in the encouragement of 
rifle practice among such students, and it has been fre¬ 
quently recommended that the War Department should 
furnish medals for competition among such students. In 
not a few cases Government arms are furnished and an 
allowance of ammunition is made. Among the univer¬ 
sities and colleges which now have rifle clubs organized 
under the rules of and affiliated with the National Rifle 
Association, are Columbia University, Harvard Univer¬ 
sity, Cornell Un’versity, Massachusetts Institute of Tech¬ 
nology, University of Pennsylvania: the College of St. 
Thomas, St. Paul; Marist College of Atlanta; University 
of Idaho, University of Nevada, Yale University, and 
George Washington University. 
“A bullseye is a bullseye” is an expression frequently 
used in connection with rifle shooting, but those un¬ 
familiar with military rifle practice as at present con¬ 
ducted have little conception of what is meant by a bulls- 
eve on the regulation targets. The ranges at which 
shooting now takes place are 200, 300, 500, 600, 800, 900 
and l.OOOvds. For these ranges three targets are em¬ 
ployed. The first is target A, which is used at 200 and 
300yds. It is 6ft. tall and 4ft. in width, with a bullseye 
in the center 8in. in diameter. This is surrounded by a 
circle 26in. in diameter. Another circle is 46in. in 
diameter. The bullseye counts 5; a shot in the inner 
circle, 4; in the outer circle, 3, and on the remainder of 
the target, 2. The B target, which is used at 500 and 
600yds., is 6ft. square. It has a 20in. bullseve, and the 
first circle is 37in., and the second circle 53in. in diameter. 
The value of the shots is the same as on the A target. 
The C target is used at 800, 900 and 1000yds. This is 
rectangular in shape, being 6ft. high and 12ft. long. It 
is divided into three sections by vertical lines 3ft. from 
each end. In the center is a 36in. bullseye surrounded 
by a 54in. circle. A shot in the bull counts 5; between 
the bulll and the rim of the circle, 4; anywhere outside 
of the circle, but within the 6ft. square, 3, and at either 
end of the target, but outside of the square, the shot 
counts two points.
