:h will be shot under the direction of the O. S. R.

iifrom 1 to 5 o’clock in the afternoon. During the 
i,ies of the National Board for Promotion of Rifle 
: ice and the National Rifle Association, the range 
lbs officered and manned by the U. S. Army and

Congress has appropriated $12,000 for the messing

■ h competitor is entitled to a cot and mattress and 
:sary camp furniture, such as stool, wash basin, 
. bucket, tin cup, broom, etc., and ample tentage 
be furnished, all through the courtesy of the State

: ilankets and bedding other than mattresses. 
■ a j" e f u l estimate of the number of men expected at 
) Ferry for the matches includes one hundred Reg- 
;\rmy officers; 1000 enlisted men, U. S. A., team 
■tants and officers 900; National Guardsmen not 
■ ed to teams and civilian rifle club members, 300 
f; brigade O. N. G., 500. 
} P r * ze Jist the matches at Camp Perry next month is 
> it tractive to riflemen, as the money will be largely 
t:ess of any heretofore divided, and the prize lists 
e much larger. In the national team match the 
- R e t «n f0 i? C n S: .nfn laSS A* 450 ’ $ 350 > $ 300 a " d $250; 
: ^r 50 - ? 225 . and $-°°; Class C, $300, $200, 
nd $150. In addition, there is a trophy for each 
tand every member of the twelve teams will receice 
ial. In the national individual match there will be 
tame prizes, amounting to $390, with the same num- 
, medals. In the Du Pont Tyro match, shot under 
apices of the O. S. R. A., the prize money amounts 
"> divided into forty-two prizes. The Ohio matches 
i ry trom four to twelve or more prizes. As the 
C:s °‘ the National Rifle Association will be con- 
■ on a percentage basis, it is impossible to tell 
luch money will be divided or the number of 
m the big matches. It is expected, however, that 
' l t N ‘u 6 great individua l matches like the Leach 
itch, the total prize money will approximate $500 
. ’ and Perhaps more. All entrance fees, less the 
■expense of operating the range, will be returned 
contestants in the N. R. A. matches. For the 
i matches, Congress furnishes the prize money. 
1 ir as known, the Press championship trophy for 
looting, which is contested for each year at the 
■ nfle matches, is the only trophy of its kind for 
newspaper men strive as representatives of their 
ions and not personally. There are many work- 
l(fil. P i e ^ me j who , are members or ex-members of 
-honal Guard, and not a few have seen service in 
•my and Navy and in the Spanish war. Among 
L I excel,ent shots, and while the restrictions 
aing the press cup are such as to prevent mem- 
• m te ? ms fr °m competing and thus the number 
1 „~5 ts ls curtailed, the contest is keen, and it 
' ?? 0( \ sc ore to carry off the cup.

Casting Rod 
I m having my own casting rod made 
for all fishermen who want it now. It is 
a two-piece rod with all the resilience of a 
one-piece—and it’s almost as easy to carry 
as a three-piece. Notice my patent locking 
reel band. I guarantee this rod against break- 
age from any reasonable use.

Seasonable Books for the Sportsman's Library 
MEN I HAVE FISHED WITH 
MY ANGLING FRIENDS 
Both by FRED MATHER 
These two volumes are a source of endless delight to the fisherman. They deal with 
every phase of the gentle sport from bent pins and willow poles to salmon flies and special 
rods—with every kind of fish as well. 
They are full of a quaint philosophy, written with a rare appreciation of human 
nature, and comprising sketches of angling “characters” as well as well-known men who 
were Mr. Mather’s brethren of the angle. Much of other sport and adventure beside fish¬ 
ing will be found between the covers of these books. These two large, splendidly bound, 
splendidly printed, and richly illustrated volumes of 400 pages each regularly sell for $2 
each. While they last we offer 
Both together, postpaid, for $3.00
