A Revolver Record. 
Newark, N. J., April 23.—A Newark Police Depart¬ 
ment record for marksmanship with the revolver was 
established yesterday when Patrolman Prank Drastel, of 
the Sixth Precinct, shooting in the trials preliminary to 
the match next Tuesday between the Department and the 
Park Police, made two straight strings of 48 out of a 
possible 50, or a total of 96 out of a. possible 100. His 
achievement brought him hearty congratulations, which 
he took modestly, and assures him a place on the De¬ 
partment team. 
The trials were held in the Essex Troop Armory on 
various days during the week. Among those who dis¬ 
tinguished themselves, in addition to Drastel, was 
Sergt. YVm. Stucky, the Department instructor in revol¬ 
ver shooting, who made an average of 90 in four suc¬ 
cessive turns at the target. He shot on different days, 
scoring as follows: 88, 92, 90, 90. 
The Newark police will hold further trials to-morrow, 
and afterward the five-man team will be selected. Those 
who appear to be the most likely candidates thus far are 
Drastel, Patrolman Joseph Burns, of the First Precinct; 
Patrolman Thomas McEvoy, of the First; Patrolman 
Frank Oppel, of the First, and Patrolman John Haller, 
of the Fifth. It is probable Stucky, as instructor, will 
not seek a place on the team. 
Among those who made a good showing yesterday 
was Burns, with 94 out of a possible 100; McEvoy with 
91, and 87; Oppel with 87 and 88; Haller with 88 and 85, 
and Sergt. Chas. A. Lindner, of the Sixth Precint, with 
82 and 84. 
Tuesday’s match will be held in the troop armory at 
3 in the afternoon. Admission will be free to the public. 
There is much speculation as to the winner. Three 
years ago the Park Policemen won by 29 points. Two 
years ago they were defeated by 4 points, and last year 
by 16 points. There is every indication that this will be 
bettered this year by both teams, and those who have 
seen the trials on both sides look for a hot contest. 
_Up to last week the “Parks” had been shooting in the 
First Regiment Armory. Since then, they have used the 
armory in Roseville, in order to accustom themselves 
to the surroundings. The shooting is at 25yds., at a 
target with a 3%in. bullseye.

Midshipmen Victorious. 
Annapolis, Md., April 22. —The Midshipmen opened 
their rifle shooting season to-day by winning from the 
team of the United States ship Louisiana by 1522 points 
to 1381. The shooting was at the 200 and 600yd. ranges, 
with slow fire, and at 200yd. range using rapid fire. At 
all three ranges the Midshipmen had a slight advantage, 
this being largest with the rapid fire. The match was 
also to include ten shots for each man at the 1000yds. 
range, but owing to the rain this range was dropped. 
Under the conditions of rain and wind which pre¬ 
vailed to-day and the earliness of the season, the shoot¬ 
ing was excellent. Midshipman Want was high gun, 
getting a total of the three ranges of 137 out of a pos¬ 
sible 150. Midshipman Saunders secured 136, and Mid- 
anetaoinetaoinetaoineta oinshrdlushrdlushrdlushrdeil etn 
shipman Kerr 134. Williams, with 132 points, had the 
best score of the visitors. 
On next Saturday the Midshipmen will shoot against 
the team of the United States ship Nebraska, the cham¬ 
pions of the Atlantic Fleet. On May 6, they will have 
the team of the District of Columbia National Guard, as 
their opponents, and on May 13 they will contest in 
their annual match with the representatives of the 
Seventy-first Regiment of New York. 
Intercollegiate Championship. 
Washington, D. C., April 22. —The State University 
of Iowa rifle team won the intercollegiate rifle shooting 
championship of the United States by the narrow margin 
of one point, from Massachusetts Agricultural College in 
the fifteenth week’s shoot, the two teams having been 
tied for first place with 14 wins and no defeats when they 
came together in the last match. Iowa scored 1891 points 
to Massachusetts’ 1890. Cornell and Washington State 
tied for third place. Columbia won the special trophy 
for non-military colleges, defeating Dartmouth by one 
match.

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 special at¬ 
tention 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.
