T4he best League score recorded to date.

Columbia University Rifle Club. 
New 1 ork. Feb. 28. —The following scores were shot 
by the Columbia team in their match against the North 
Georgia Agricultural College rifle team for the week 
ending March 4. The total score is poor, as the team 
seems to have struck a bad mid-season slump. Strangely 
enough, the slump is confined to the offshoulder shoot¬ 
ing as only 21 points were dropped by the ten men at 
the prone position. The team is now in third place in 
tue League, with one defeat and seven victories. Iowa 
and Massachusetts Agricultural are tied for first place 
with eight straight victories. However, Columbia stands 
at the head of the list of non-military colleges, and 
stands an excellent chance of winning the non-military 
intercollegiate championship. The scores follow:

THE NARRATIVE OF A SPORTSMAN 
INTER-OCEAN HUNTING TALES 
EDGAR F. RANDOLPH 
A series of hunting reminiscences of rare charm for the sportsman and for 
the wider circle which delights in true tales of outdoor life. With none of the high 
coloring and exaggeration which give a false note to so many hunting stories, Mr. 
Randolph’s book is never lacking in interest. 
He covers the field of sport with the rifle, east and west, drawing a vivid word 
picture of life in the open, subordinating his own exploits to the main incidents of 
outdoor experience, giving much valuable information on camp life, hunting and the 
habits of wild game, and continually delighting the reader with the freshness of his 
viewpoint. 
This book will strike a sympathetic chord in the memory of every big-game 
hunter of experience and will prove of real value to the novice who is planning an 
excursion into the wild.
