BRITISH EAST AFRICA BIG GAME HUNTING 
As pioneers in equipping Big Game hunting parties, 
NEWLAND, TARLTON & CO, LTD., confidently in¬ 
vite inquiries from all who think of visiting the most 
attractive playground in the world.” These words are 
applied by Colonel Theodore Roosevelt to British East 
Africa, and the fact that NEWLAND, TARLTON & 
CO., LTD., have been honored with all his arrangements 
is a guarantee of their ability to do things well, and an 
acknowledgment of their long experience. Write for book¬ 
let to their London Office. NEWLAND, TARLTON &

WILLIAM FINAUGHTY, JR-. 
Bulawayo, Rhodesia. 
The Krag rifle with which he shot almost got away 
from him, but he got there. His instructor writes that 
he has worked nearly a whole year to reach this standard. 
The National Rifle Association is sending out appeals 
to all its clubs and individuals asking immediate action 
in favor of the bill now pending in Congress for an 
appropriation of one hundred thousand dollars for the 
promotion of rifle practice in the United States, and a 
free issue of rifles and ammunition to rifle club. A 
report of this bill received by the Committee on Military 
Affairs of the Senate from the association was extremely 
favorable. Now is the time for all - good men and 
true who believe in the promotion of rifle practice as 
the means of strengthening the country, to put their 
shoulder to the wheel by writing at once to their repre¬ 
sentatives in Congress in favor of this act. _ 
Interest in the coming small bore match with Great 
Britain and Australia is beginning to show itself. Ap- 
plications have been made for the appointment of 
judges and the designation of the following places for 
holding try-outs for place on the American team: New 
York, Brooklyn, Portland (Me.), Philadelphia, Rochester 
(N. Y.), Pittsburg (Pa.), and Staunton (Va.). 
Many letters are being received by the Secretary of 
the N. R. A. showing what the throwing open of 
regimental armory ranges to the high school boys are 
doing for the regiments themselves in the way of new 
recruits from the ranks of the schoolboy shooters and 
excellent material they make. 
Every Colonel of a National Guard Regiment in¬ 
terested in keeping up the standard of enlistments should 
look into this method. If they do they will invite the 
high school boys of their city to use the armory range 
on afternoons and detail an officer as instructor and 
offer the loan of the regiments’ rifles. The results will 
show for themselves.

Philadelphia Rifle Association. 
The large attendance and enthusiasm at the annual 
meeting is the best evidence of the growth and pros¬ 
perity of the Association. There were twenty-five mem¬ 
bers present this year. Last year fifteen turned out, and 
in years past we were lucky to get more than ten or 
eleven together at the annual event. The prize list has 
kept pace with the increased membership, and at the 
close of the business meeting President Spering pre¬ 
sented to the winners for the year 1909, twenty-three 
large silver cups, forty-six medals of bronze, silver and 
gold, and various combinations thereof, in addition to 163 
bars to be added to medals already won being for each 
additional ten scores of the same count. 
The election resulted as follows: President, Nathan 
Spering: Vice-President, Harry L. Reeves; Secretary, 
Daniel W. Stubbs; Treasurer, William E. Wood; Ex¬ 
ecutive Officer, George Hugh Smith; Range Officer, 
Harry A. Dill. The two new officers, Messrs. Wood and 
Reeves, are both enthusiastic, and it looks as if 1910 
would be a banner year in the club’s history. 
A dozen new members have joined during the last 
year. . 
The revolver team is going along well in the U. S. 
R. A. League, and a number of prizes have been donated 
for special handicap matches at the indoor range. 
The following scores were made this week at 1406 Wash¬ 
ington avenue: _ ___

GAME’S COURAGE. 
“We hunted with some success in the morn¬ 
ing but the birds, reported so numerous, 
seemed strangely absent. The only explanation 
possible for the scarcity of quail was that they 
had all taken refuge on that forbidden farm. 
We finally decided on. heroic measures. I was 
selected to take Game upon the posted farm, 
find the quail and shoot them upon the lands 
we were privileged to shoot over. The scheme 
was put into instant execution. 
“Game had no sooner entered into the for¬ 
bidden woods than he threw up his head and 
made straight for a clump of papaw bushes, 
where he pointed. When I flushed, the birds 
about twenty of them flew in the direction that 
I wished. Then Game continued his range and 
at the far end of the same woods pointed again. 
As he was waiting for me to come up a 
ferocious white bulldog burst through the 
undergrowth and sprang upon him, catching 
him by the right front leg and crunching the 
bone to splinters. The quail, frightened at the 
fighting dogs, flew back through the woods and 
scattered in the same locality as the previous 
covey. . 
“In the meanwhile, I had a hard time getting 
that bulldog to release his hold, and only when 
his owner arrived, who was no other than the 
grouchy farmer who owned the land, were we 
able to pry the bulldog loose from poor Game’s 
shattered leg. 
“Now, here is the remarkable part about this 
faithful animal. After I had carried him to the 
fence separating me from my companions, and 
inclosing the woods where the birds were 
hidden, he became so excited at the smell of 
quail that he sprang from my arms, and hob¬ 
bling around on three legs, pointed in the 
course of an hour about thirty-five times. Just 
think of the courage of that dog! 
“The result of the day’s sport was twenty- 
eight quail, seventeen rabbits, two woodcock 
and a duck—the latter being killed near the 
present site of the Indiana Girls’ school, on 
Eagle Creek. 
“Game lived to a ripe old age. but his leg 
was badly deformed—a knot forming from the 
injury as large. as a goose egg. He died in 
1907, and with him died the strain of the noblest 
setter that ever lived.”—Indianapolis News.
