nation of America. The National rifle and revolver 
matches begin on Aug. 23, and will be followed im¬ 
mediately by those of the National Rifle Association 
It is not probable that President Taft will find it con¬ 
venient to attend the matches, although his interest in 
military rifle work and in the matches, to say nothing 
1 °* R rca * range in his native State, is such that he 
ou . t T l^ re / or a . day. lie is a life member of 
the National Rifle Association, and during his adminis¬ 
tration of the War Department rifle practice made great 
strides forward. In presenting the matter to the Presi¬ 
dent, Gen. Drain said: “It seems sure that vour at- 
1 ten i^ nce jI or - even a part of one day within this period 
i would add immensely to the success of these truly 
i National contests, thus making for greater rifle efficiency 
and increased power to our Nation as a maker of and 
•preserver of peace for ourselves and others .** 
In addressing the Senators and Representatives Gen. 
iDrain said, in part: “Ihese matches afford the greatest 
possible incentive to the men of the country to per¬ 
fect themselves in the use of the weapons which would 
be placed in their hands for war. Without the in¬ 
centive thus afforded, it is doubtful if the widespread 
interest in target practice which has been growing up 
in the T mted States for the last five years could ever 
have been created. * * * It is felt that in no other 
vyay can the safety of the country be better conserved 
'than by the instruction of our men in rifle practice. 
Mich a course seems to promise the most reasonable 
assurances of power to the Nation to preserve peace to 
burselves and other countries.” 
Secretary Dickinson is greatly interested in rifle prac- 
L Ce * h, ?„ y< ? im g .son, and it is more than probable 
hat both will be visitors to Camp Perry during the 
[natches. The National matches proper, as distinguished 
rom those of the National Rjfle Association, are shot 
mder the direction of the Secretary of War, the rules 
[or same being prepared by the National Board for 
romotion of Rifle Practice, of which Assistant Secre- 
^ ar ’ Robert Shaw Oliver, is president 
I he preparations for the National matches are on a 
arger scale than ever before. Approximately one hun- 
Ired regular army officers, and 1,000 troops will be 
‘tationed at Camp Perry during the matches, Congress 
as appropriated $12,000 for the messing of the com- 
'etitors during the National matches, and the prize 
ioney. will be largely increased. From 1,000 to 1 500 
ompetitors will participate in the National matches, and 
lose of the National Rifle Association and many more 
J, ?“ c Ghio Jr atl0na * Guard matches, and those of the 
hio State Rifle Association and the Department of 
le Takes Rifle Association, which precede the National 
latches. The contests begin Aug. 9 and run to Sept. 3, 
hen the bea Girt tournament opens.

Life in a Corner of Yankeeland. By Rowland E. 
Robinson. Cloth. 187 pages. Price, $1.25. 
The shop itself, the place of business of Uncle Lisha 
Peggs, bootmaker and repairer, was a sort of sportsman’s 
exchange, where, as one of the fraternity expressed it 
the hunters and fishermen of the widely scattered neigh^ 
borhood used to meet of evenings and dull outdoor days 
"to swap lies.”

Sam Lovel's Boy. 
By Rowland E. Robinson. Price, $1.25. 
Sam Lovel s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danvis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Lovel and 
Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books 
in the series, and the boy is young Sam, their son, who 
grows up under the tuition of the coterie of friends that 
we know so well, becomes a man just at the time of the 
Civil War, and carries a musket in defense of what he 
believes to be the right.
