each with six wins and one defeat to their credit. All 
three teams are almost certain to win the balance of 
their series of matches. To decide the winner of the 
League series will require the holding of a shoot-off 
between the three leaders, which will result in a most 
interesting match, as all three teams are shooting very 
evenly, and it will be hard to pick the winner. 
In addition, the ten colleges and universities com¬ 
peting in the Intercollegiate League, no less than a 
dozen other institutions are in training for the inter - 
collegiate indoor championship match of 1910, to be 
shot the week ending March 26. Dartmouth College, 
of Hanover, N. H.; New Hampshire College, of Dur¬ 
ham, N. H., and Simpson College, of Indianola, la., 
have organized rifle clubs and affiliated with the National 
Association. 
The National Rifle Association have recently elected 
to membership the following Government civilian rifle 
clubs: Warrensburg, Mo., Rifle Club; 1 arrytown, N. 
Y., Rifle Club; Hastings, Colo., Rifle Club; Park Club, 
Bridgeport, Conn.; Santa Ana, Cal., Rifle Club; Adrian, 
Mich., Rifle Club; Danbury, Conn., Rifle Club, and the 
Public Athletic League, of Baltimore. 
The following schoolboy rifle clubs have recently 
been elected to membership in the National Rifle Asso¬ 
ciation: Ogden, Utah, High School Rifle Club; Charles¬ 
ton, W. \ a., High School Rifle Club; Mitchell School 
Rifle Club, of Billerica, Mass.; Saratoga Springs, N. Y., 
High School Rifle Club, and the Baltimore Polytechnic 
Institute Rifle Club. 
Through the courtesy of the Ordnance Department, 
U. S. A., the National Rifle Association is now able 
to procure: for its rifle clubs and individual members 
Krag rifles at a greatly reduced price. In the opinion of 
many, of our best riflemen, these rifles are as good 
shooting arms as the new Springfield. One feature which 
appeals to the civilian shooter is the economy in the cost 
o'! ammunition and in the reloading of same. 
Similar arrangements have also been made with the 
Ordnance Department for the sale to schoolboy and 
university clubs of ,22cal. Krag rifles, a limited supply 
of which were on hand when the new model was 
adopted. These are excellent shooting arms, and are 
preferred for schoolboy work on account of not having 
to use a holder, as in th,e Springfield. 
The annual report of the Association for 1909 is now 
on the press, and will be ready for distribution on or 
about April 1. 
The rifle club bill now pending in Congress, pro¬ 
viding for the free issue of arms and ammunition to 
rifle clubs and an appropriation of $100,000 to carry on 
the work, has been reported favorably by tbfe sub¬ 
committee of the Committee on Military Affairs of the 
Senate. 
The report was so strongly in favor of the bill that 
there is hardly a doubt but what the entire committee 
will report it favorably. The House committee has not 
yet taken up the bill, Mr. Hull, the chairman, being 
exceedingly busy with other important affairs. 
Of the many letters forwarded to the secretary of the 
National Rifle Association trom members of the House 
and Senate, there has not yet appeared a single un¬ 
favorable note. At the present writing the bill does not 
seem to have a single enemy in Congress, though there 
is no reason why such a patriotic measure should have.

vantages of these telescopes, both in respect to mechan¬

The manufacturers of Evans Ale have been making 
high grade ale for so many years that they may be said 
to know all there is to know about the preparation 
of fine table ales. Evans Ale stands for quality. 
A good way to get good guns, outdoor clothing and 
curios, as well as horse furniture at prices way below 
their value is to communicate with Francis Banner- 
man, 501 Broadway, New York City, dealers in U. S. 
Army supplies.

ially in the preservation of the insect-eating martins, and 
deserves encouragement. Home owners should put up 
houses and protect the martins when they arrive. J. 
Warren Jacobs, of this company, is a member of the 
American Ornithologists’ LTnion and of other ornitholo¬ 
gists’ societies, and has had wide experience in the

THE 1910 IMPROVED 
Kelso Automatic Reel 
adds to the sport and increases the day's catch. 
There’s no such thing as a slack 
line for the fish to rush in on and 
break away, for the reel takes up 
slack as fast as he comes—keeping 
it taut all the time. 
Kelso Automatic Reel makes 
the rod easier to handle because the 
weight is correct to balance a five- 
ounce fly rod. It is large and 
strong enough to handle the gam¬ 
iest bass, yet light enough for 
trout. It is simply constructed 
and cannot ^et out of order. Fully 
guaranteed. fy
