Massachusetts Rifle Association. 
Walnut Hsll, Feb. 1.-—The regular weekly competi¬ 
tion of the Massachusetts Rifle Association was held at its 
“range to-day, under conditions that seemed well-nigh 
prohibitive, when the driving snowstorm and squally 
southeast wind were considered. 
No shooting was attempted at 1000yds., as the target 
could not be seen, the shooters contenting themselves 
with 200yds. rifle, and 50yds. revolver matches. 
Range-keeper \V. R. Murphy created the sensation of 
die day by making an 89 offhand with a Krag service 
rifle. The score contained six consecutive 10s, and 
counts 18 by Creed moor count, being the highest stand- 
ird score so far made with a Krag at Walnut Hill. He 
ilso led the revolver match with, two clean scores of 50 
I'he scores:

AN ANCIENT TURTLE. 
Our San Francisco correspondent sends us 
ie following: 
‘A giant turtle, alleged to have at one time 
fen the property of an emperor of China, was 
night in the Oakland Estuary on San Fran- 
sco Ray last week by six men, one of whom 
>ped it. A metal tag bearing Chinese char- 
■ters was found attached to its. left front 
pper. The Chinese characters were translated 
n tire thirty-ninth year of the emperor,” and a 
rs. Ellen McCrane was found who claimed that 
1 * la( l once been in her possession, coming 
rough a daughter of Commodore McDougal, 
e Commodore having appropriated it in some 
anner in China. Mrs. Crane says that it es- 
ped from her about twenty-five years ago. 
riling to find any one anxious to invest in the 
rtle as a curio, the finders eventually turned 
over to an Oakland restaurant keeper.”

Sa.m Lovel's Boy. 
By Rowland E. Robinson. Price, $1.25. 
Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danvis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Lovel and 
Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books in 
the series, and the boy is young Sam, their son, who 
grows up under the tuition of the coterie of friends that 
Jff know so well, becomes a man just at the time of the 
Civil War, and carries a musket in defense of what he 
believes to be the right.

% Allen Kelly. Paper, 209 pages. Price, 60 cents. 
Mr. Kelly’s most excellent book of bear stories, though 
for a time forgotten, has recently come to have an ex¬ 
cellent vogue. This is not strange, since bear stories, 
uke snake stories, always appeal to men, women and 
ohildren, many of whom perhaps acquired their first 
interest in these animals by reading of the achievements 
of the bears which figured in Bible history. At all 
events, the stories in this volume are interesting, and 
are well worth the reading by any audience.
