The Rendezvous, 
Where, When and How to Catch 
Fish on the East Coast of Florida 
By Wm. H. Gregg, of St. Louis, Mo., assisted by Capt. 
John Gardner, of Ponce Park, Mosquito Inlet, rla. 
With 100 engravings and 12 colored illustrations. 
Cloth. Illustrated. 238 pages. Map. Price, $4.00. 
A visitor to Florida can hardly make the trip without 
this book, if he is at all interested in angling. It gives a 
very complete list of the fishes of the East Coast of 
Florida, and every species is illustrated by a cut taken 
from the best authorities. The cuts are thus of the most 
value to the angler who desires to identify the fish he 
takes, while the colored plates of the tropical fish shown 
in all their wonderful gorgeousness of coloring, are very 
beautiful. Besides the pictures of fish, there are cuts 
showing portions of the fishing tackle, which the author 
uses. A good index completes the volume.

Nursing vs Dosing. 
A Treatise on the Care of Dogs in Health and Disease. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow”), Author of “Train¬ 
ing vs. Breaking.” 161 pages. Cloth. Price, $1.00. 
Mr. Hammond believes that more dogs are killed by 
injudicious doctoring than by disease, and the present 
work is a protest against the too free use of medicine 
when dogs are sick. The author has given especial atten¬ 
tion to many of the troubles which especially afflict small 
dogs kept in the house, and likely to suffer from lack of 
exercise and from over-feeding; and boys and girls 
owning dogs—as well as children of larger growth—may 
profitably study and ponder this volume.

Co. D, Seventh Regiment Wins Trophy. 
The trophy donated by the 71st Regiment to the 7th 
Regiment for an intercompany rifle shoot for teams ot 
five men had its second competition on Friday night, 
Feb 24 Two contests are held annually for the prize, 
and as the first took place several weeks ago the one on 
Friday decided the possession of the cup for the year. 
The surprise of the night was the defeat of the repie- 
sentatives of Company I, who led in the first shoot with 
an aggregate score of 320, and who were regarded as 
being reasonably certain of being ultimately victorious. 
Riflemen of Company D, who had been sixth, came up 
with an unusually fine exhibition of marksmanship and 
took the trophy by a margin of two points. I heir total 
was 633, while Company I and Company K were tied 
for second honors with 631 each.

HITTING vs. MISSING. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow”). Cloth. Price, $1.00. 
Mr. Hammond enjoys among his field companions the 
repute of being an unusually good shot, and one who is 
particularly successful in that most difficult branch of 
upland shooting, the pursuit of the ruffed grouse, or 
partridge. This prompted the suggestion that he should 
write down for others an exposition of the methods by 
which his skill was acquired. The result is this original 
manual of “Hitting vs. Missing.” We term it original, 
because, as the chapters will show, the author was self- 
taught; the expedients and devices adopted and the 
forms of practice followed were his own. This then may 
be termed the Hammond of system of shooting; and as it 
was successful in his own experience, being here set 
forth simply and intelligently, it will prove not less 
effective with others.

Fishing Tackle. 
The annual catalogue of the Tohn J. Hildebrandt Co., 
now ready, will be sent for the asking. They show a 
large line of fishing accessories, the best wood and steel 
rods, reels, lines; in fact, whatever a fisherman needs 
to complete his outfit. This is in addition to their regu¬ 
lar spoon baits and specialties, which are made to catch 
fish and not merely to sell. It will be worth the while of 
any fisherman to know definitely what thev nave for 
sale, and to send at once to the John J. Hildebrandt 
Co., Drawer No. 6, Logansport, Ind., U. S. A., and ask 
for Catalogue C. 
Wonderful strides have been made in recent years by 
Meek reels in tournament bait-casting. These, as well 
as moderate-oriced, but good fishing reels, are made by 
B. F. Meek & Sons, Louisville, Ky., who will, on re¬ 
quest, send a very interesting booklet containing infor¬ 
mation of value to every angler.

Standard American target was 922. which broke the 
former 100 shot record of 917. In his last 10 shots he 
made a score of 99, duplicating a former record made 
by him. 
At Bloomington, Ill., Feb. 15, Mr. E. K. Crothers, of 
Bloomington, won high amateur, and tied for high gen¬ 
eral average, 136 out of 150, using Peters factory loaded
