COOLNESS IN RIFLE SHOOTING 
Remember that coolness is absolutely in¬ 
dispensable and that haste will do you no 
good. Let quickness come with time, and 
practise slowly and carefully. Do not be 
beguiled into fast shooting at that Creed- 
moor target; make it your first point to 
hit, and don’t shoot at first more than once 
on one run, unless you have a double-bar¬ 
reled rifle. Let others try to see how big 
a hail storm of bullets they can get up in 
a given time if they like it, and don’t be at 
all bothered if by so doing they happen to 
make more points than you. You will in 
the end do by far the best work on game 
if you take it easy and make accuracy the 
first point. —Van Dyke. 
HUNTING RIFLE SIGHTS 
The sights should be moderately coarse, 
and the front one of. ivory, except for 
hunting on snow, where brass or gold is 
the best. File off the “buckhorn” sides of 
the back sight, so that you can get a clear 
view of your game when holding ahead of 
it. The “buckhorns” are really of no use 
but to prevent reflection of light from the 
corners of the notch, and this you can do 
as well by rusting them with iodine or 
acid. I go so far as to cut down the sides 
until the notch stands in a little cupola in 
the middle, affording a perfect view all 
around it. I find such a one worth a cart¬ 
load of buckhorn sights, though it takes 
a little practise to get used to it, when it is 
caught just as quickly by the eye as any 
other. —Van Dyke. 
REMARKABLE TARGET PRACTICE 
The accompanying target was 25 shots 
at 50 yards rapid fire by L. P. Castaldini 
with a Smith & Wesson revolver. This 
target was made during practise. The score 
is highqr than the record, but as it was 
made with hand-loaded ammunition is not 
in accord with U. S. R. A. rules. 
CONTINENTAL PUPPY STAKES 
The Continental Field Trial Club have 
practically decided to run a Puppy Stake 
in 1918 open to pups born on or after Sep¬ 
tember 1 of this year. There are some 
unique features in a stake of this charac¬ 
ter and the idea would be a good one to 
develop. P. R. Bolton, Clinton, Conn., is 
President of the Club and can be addressed 
for additional information on the subject.

NEWFOUNDLAND 
A Country of Fish and Game 
A Paradise for the Camper and Angler 
Ideal Canoe Trips 
The country traversed by the Reid Newfoundland Company’s system is exceedingly rich in all 
kinds of Fish and Game. All along the route of the Railway are streams famous for their Salmon 
and Trout fishing, also Caribou barrens. Americans who have been fishing and hunting in New¬ 
foundland, say there is no other country in the world in which so good fishing and hunting can 
be secured and with such ease as in Newfoundland. Information, together with illustrated 
Booklet and Folder, cheerfully forwarded uoon application to
