for troops of the first brigade it will be red; for those 
of the second brigade, white, and for those of the 
third brigade, blue. 
Treating on this plan in his annual report, Secretary 
Dickinson said: “In time, at points of concentration in 
each corps district, there should be established supply 
depots, so planned that upon the assemblage of the 
corps or divisions there would be available such equip¬ 
ment as might possibly be lacking in the various States 
for the equipment of their organizations, although it is 
contemplated that the States themgelves. should carry 
all that is necessary for at least the minimum strength 
required. At such depots could also be carried the 
supplies for any additional volunteer force, up to a 
moderate number, which might be necessary to complete 
in its entirety the organization of any one of the various 
corps. What is greatly needed is a decentralization of the 
powers of supply and initiative. The present centraliza¬ 
tion always breaks down the moment it is put to the 
test, and the peace organization of the army as it 
stands to-day is incomplete and improper for military 
purposes.” 
Coupled with the organization of the First Field Army 
is the announcement of the assignment of the coast ar¬ 
tillery companies of the National Guard to the stations 
where they will serve in time of war. Because of the 
difficulties in the way of target practice at certain forts 
the assignment is in some cases of a temporary char¬ 
acter, but as far as possible the companies have been 
assigned to the batteries which they will handle or sup¬ 
port if war should break out. On account of the present 
state of organization and instruction of the coast ar¬ 
tillery reserves, it is considered best that they should 
be linked with the regular companies as far as prac¬ 
ticable. Under the order every coast artillery reserve 
company is assigned to some fort and battery, except the 
Texas Corps, the 6th and 7th companies in California 
and the 5th company in the State of Washington. 
Schoolboy Rifle Tournament. 
The rifle tournament for boys of the public high 
schools closed on March 11, after ten days of compe¬ 
tition in Madison Square Garden. 
Event 3 was of special interest, and was shot under 
conditions as follows: Union Metallic Cartridge Co. 
championship match: Open to pupils of any high 
school in Greater New York. To the school boy making 
the highest aggregate of two tickets, 5 shots standing 
and 5 shots prone on each ticket, and the aggregate 
high score in the Winchester trophy, Hopkins & Allen 
trophy. Remington trophy, Stevens trophy and the sub¬ 
target rifle individual trophy to be shot for during the 
tournament will be given a silver medal ' emblematic of 
the school-boy indoor rifle shooting championship of 
Greater New York for the year 1910, and to the school 
he represents will be presented the “championship 
challenge cup” (presented by the Union Metallic Car¬ 
tridge Co.) to be held by the school for one year, when 
it shall again be put in competition by the Public 
Schools Athletic League of New York or the National 
Rifle Association of America. 
This was won by Weichers, of Curtis High School, 
with 1506. Ehrlich, of Morris High School, was second 
with 1497. Krehfeld, of De Witt Clinton High School, 
was third, 1494 out of a possible 1600. 
The junior marksman’s medal was also a competition 
of keen interest. It was open to any school-boy who 
has not yet reached his nineteenth birthday, attending 
a public, private or high school; 10 shots standing and 
10 shots prone at 50 feet on the National Rifle Associa¬ 
tion target; .22 caliber rifle and ammunition furnished 
by the P. S. A. L. Entrance fee, fifteen cents for each 
ticket; re-entries allowed until qualifying. Prizes, to 
any school-boy making a total of 38 points standing 
and 42 points prone, or a total score of not less than 
80 on the rifle range or 45 in ten shots standing on the 
sub-target rifle machine, will be presented a junior 
marksman medal authorized by the Secretary of M ar. 
The first qualifying score stands and no further com- 
. petition is allowed. Any boy who has reached his 
nineteenth birthday and who is a member of a com¬ 
peting team for this match will not be entitled to a 
junior marksman medal, even though he qualifies. To 
the members of the school clubs affiliated with the N. 
R. A. making the highest score in the junior marks¬ 
man match will be presented a medal authorized by the 
N. R. A.

One of the Scarcest of Government Publica¬ 
tions Pertaining to Zoology is Dr. 
Coues’ Monograph Entiteld 
FUR BEARING ANIMALS 
The book is scarce and eagerly sought for by 
zoologists, but it is offered for sale only rarely 
and is about as hard to obtain as Mr. Gurdon 
Trumbull’s “Names and Portraits of Birds.” 
Dr. Coues’ book deals with the wolverine, 
the martens or sables, the ermine, the mink and 
various other kinds of weasels, several species 
of skunk, the badger, the land and sea otters, 
and many numerous exotic allies of these ani¬ 
mals. It is illustrated by 6 o figures on 20 plates. 
We have just secured a copy of this work in 
good condition which we offer at $ 4 . 50 .

I use a Kelso Automatic Reel. It gives one 
perfect control over the line every moment, 
while casting or after a sling. No fish can 
run in on a slack line and break away, if the 
Kelso Automatic Reel 
is used, for there will be no slack line.
