555 
out of a possible 120 , the maximum being 70 for deliber- 
ale fire and 50 f r rapid fire. This year, however, both 
Private Boles and Private Scholz bettered the score and 
set up a new mark of lit;. 
The fine shooting of Private Boles has been the sen¬ 
sation of the season at the Seventh Regiment. He en¬ 
listed less than a year ago, and that he should win the 
■championship in so short a period is considered re¬ 
markable, and is unprecedented. Private Boles came 
.0 the Seventh Regiment from the State militia of 
Arkansas, in which lie was a leading crack. He repre¬ 
sented Arkansas in the national military shoot at Camp 
Perry, Ohio. 
Chicago National Guard Revolver Tourney. 
Chicago, Ill., March 25.—In the annual officers’ re¬ 
volver shoot of the First Regiment, Illinois National 
C.uard, held last night in the armory, Lieut. J. M. Rich¬ 
mond won first prize with a score of 181. As the shoot 
was conducted over a four-course range of 50yds., slow 
fire, with 10 shots, two scores of 5 shots each on a 25yd. 
range, with 20 seconds each; two scores of 5 shots each 
at 25yds. in 10 seconds, and two scores of 5 shots each 
on a 15yd. course, with S seconds each, expert marks¬ 
manship was necessary. 
The competitors were divided into three divisions: 
The expert, of which Capt. Edward Bittle took the title 
with a score of 179, and the sharpshooters, of which the 
championship went to Capt. C. M. Gale with a score 
of 170. Capt. Richmond was rated as a novice. In 
all classes the shooting was keenly contested, the win¬ 
ners securing their prizes by a few points. 
Appropriate awards were made, and as only com¬ 
missioned officers were allowed to compete, the scores 
were very good. 
As the regiment officers have challenged all other 
regiments stationed in the city, including the Naval 
Reserves, the meet was well attended. Much time has 
been expended in an effort to improve the marksman¬ 
ship, as many teams have answered the challenges. The

RODMAKING FOR BEGINNERS 
By PERRY D. FRAZER 
A unique work, bringing the science of rodmaking up to the very moment and 
epitomizing the knowledge and the experience of experts for the guidance of the 
average man. The evolution of bait-casting principles has made Mr. Frazer’s book 
supersede all previous-publications on the subject. 
Every angler—young or old—who is fond of adapting his rods and tackle to his 
own ideas of what they should be, will find in this book a large fund of information 
gathered by the author in years of study, experiment and practical experience in 
fishing, tournament casting and at the work bench. He theorizes and speculates 
.not at all. He tells “the how” of everything connected with rodmaking in a way 
that makes results certain. All explanations are simple and easily followed. 
Separate chapters are de\'oted to each of a half dozen types of bait-casting rods; 
to tarpon, surf and light salt water rods; bass and trout, salmon and tournament 
fly-rods. Complete specifications of well known types are gi\ - en, and the chapter 
on split bamboo rodmaking is the most comprehensive treatise on the subject ever 
published. Indispensable in the angler's library. 
Cloth, 180 pages, four full-page illustrations, 60 working drawings, making plain 
every feature of the text. Postpaid. $i.
