Massachusetts Rifle Association. 
Walnut Hill. Feb. 29.—The weekly competition of the 
Massachusetts Rifle Association was held at its ■ ranfic 
to-day, under conditions which taxed to the utmost the 
skill of the most expert judges of wind velocity. Few 
scores were made wnich would he considered^ as more 
than fair on an ordinarily good day, as the tricky wind 
shifted so quickly that on the instant of firing, the 
shooter would realise too late that several inches, more 
or less, allowance should have been made. 
At the 1000yd. target from 12 to 14ft. of allowance was 
usually necessary, but with the -same fluctuations which 
prevailed at 200yds. 
Even the pistol a-nd revolver shooters had their tale of 
woe, for the rawness of the air made standing at the 
out-of-door firing points for a string of shots a most 
unpleasant task. 
T. Busfield had the best offhand score of the day, a 90. 
made late in the afternoon. He claimed that he never 
held a score better in his life than the SO made earlier in 
the day. but the wind was too much for him. 
\Y. Charles and F. Daniels each had 38 at 1000yds., 
fine work for the dav. The scores: 
Offhand nractice match: T. Tlusfield 90, SO; H. F. Tuck 
80. 79: F. IT. West 77, 75; R. L. Dale 74, 74; S. C. Samp¬ 
son 70.

Kennel Diseases 
By “Ashmont” (J. Frank Perry, M.D.), author of “Ken¬ 
nel Secrets.” Illustrated. 8vo. Cloth, $3.00 net. 
Postage, 22 cents. 
Every one who owns a dog should possess this invalu¬ 
able book, which has been long in preparation, and has 
been pronounced by a competent authority far ahead of 
any other work yet attempted .upon the subject. The 
minuteness with which every detail is considered leaves 
little or nothing for any future work to attempt. Es¬ 
pecially important chapters are those on eczema, the 
different kinds of mange, poisons, distemper, hydro¬ 
phobia, ear and eye diseases, vaginal diseases, diseases 
of the urinary and sexual organs, and pneumonia (an 
especially valuable contribution), also the portions of 
the work which are devoted to symptoms and diagnosis. 
The -work is entirely devoid of technical terms, and is 
written in such entertaining style, that any one with a 
love of dogs would find it not only valuable and help¬ 
ful, but interesting as well.

PUBLISHERS’ DEPARTMENT. 
In our business columns this week The Marlin Fire¬ 
arms Co., 27 Willow street. New Haven, Conn., call at¬ 
tention to their new model 24 Marlin repeating shotgun, 
which has many points of excellence which are enumer¬ 
ated in their advertisement. 
Mr. W. J. Cummins, fishing tackle maker, of Bishop 
Auckland,- England, who first began to advertise in 
Forest and Stream many years ago, has built up a 
large American trade, so large that he has published a 
special American edition of his catalogue. This he de¬ 
sires to distribute widely among American anglers, and 
for this purpose offers to send it free to all applicants. 
Mr. Cummins’ assortment is very large, and his goods 
are of the highest quality. Applicants should note care¬ 
fully the address: W. J. Cummins, Dept. K, Bishop 
Auckland, England. 
With the first spring days comes- to the enthusiastic 
angler the pleasant task of pondering over the renewal 
of his outfit. He goes'over his stock with care, fills up 
the vacancies, brings up the assortment of each part of 
his equipment to its proper fullness, and adds a little for 
good measure. In doing this he is likely to spend much 
.time at the stores of the Abercrombie & Fitch Co.. 57 
Reade street. New York. The reputation of this concern 
for good stock and a knowledge of what is needed was 
made long ago, and is still being kept up. 
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, tjieir son, who 
grows up under the tuition of the coterie of friends that 
we 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.

Be&.rs I Ha.ve Met—And Others. 
By 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, 
like snake stories, always appeal to men, women ana 
children, 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.
