clusively verified by the constantly increasing attend¬ 
ance and greater interest that is being taken in the 
club’s regular weekly shoots. 
Last Saturday, March 14, was an excellent day for 
target shooting; the wind was just blusterous enough to 
make the sport exciting. Sayles and Dixon took a 
“poke” at each other, and to settle the dispute shot an 
uphill race of 100 targets each for the honors <pf the 
English Hotel cup, in which Sayles succeeded in de¬ 
fending his title to the honors of the coveted H°Phy- 
The scores they made are as follows: Sayles, 1J, <22, 
23 18—82; Dixon, 18, 19, 22, 19—78. 
’This was the first day on the calendar for shooting 
in the contest for the Parry trophy, a special event ot 
50 targets at distance handicaps fixed by a committee ot 
the members. In this event Sayles, shooting from 18yds., 
broke 41 out of his 50 targets; Moller (18), 41; 1 arting- 
ton (18), 40; Denny (18), 40; Trotter (17), 39; Dixon .(18), 
38; Parry (19), 38, and Moore (18), 37. . 
In the deadshot trophy contest, an event of 40 original 
targets, Parry was the only one to shoot ‘ scratch, he 
breaking 36 out of the original 40, which under the rules 
governing the contest, did not permit him to score 
front any subsequent targets he might shoot at. Dixon, 
with 3 additional targets (at which he did not shoot) 
scored 33; Brennan (2), 36; Sayles (7), 37; Partington (11), 
39; Moore (14), 39; Moller (17),40, and Lewis (40), 40. 
Parry covered himself with “glory” in practice events, 
and took possession of the 90 per cent, class abiding 
place all alone, without any very near ‘ second lor the 
honors, as the following tabulation of practice scores

Glens Falls, N. Y., March 14.—Our club was pleas¬ 
antly surprised at the Friday afternoon shoot by a visit 
from George R. Ginn, the Winchester missionary, who 
was on a trip in this vicinity. Mr. Ginn’s personality has 
won many friends here, both for himself and the company 
he represents, so that our boys are always glad to have 
him call. 
Ten club members turned out for the shoot, and as the 
day was warm and pleasant, some good sport was in 
prospect, but all this was spoiled by the melting snow,

Tripp ' were appointed a committee to nominate a German, of. the Chester team, made high individual 
“regular” ticket of directors from among the members; score, 49. 
and this committee finds that much of the available 
timber is so nearly of the same dimensions—and this, 
with the confusion that arises from the different sug¬ 
gestions” made by every member with whom they come 
in contact—renders the discharge of their duty a very 
difficult and delicate task to perform. The committee is 
holding its sessions behind closed doors, and until it 
announces its conclusions it will not be known how 
many “independent” tickets will spring up. Ihe an ‘ 
nual reports of the outgoing directors wi 1 disclose a 
very satisfactory and successful year, and they teel that 
this happy showing will entitle them to the reward of 
a retirement from the responsibilities of active man¬ 
agement of the club’s prudential affairs. 
Not least among the many features that are now at¬ 
tracting the attention and lively interest of the mem¬ 
bers are the numerous trophy contests that are well 
under way; the deadshot trophy every Saturday after¬ 
noon, an added target handicap event; the Britton 
trophy the emblem of amateur championship among 
club members for 1908, a sliding distance handicap event 
on the first and third Saturday afternoons of each month; 
the Parry trophy, a beautiful sterling silver loving cup, 
the gift of that broad-gauged sportsman and estimable 
good fellow, “Tom” Parry, on the second and fourth 
Saturday afternoons of each month; and the Lnglish Hotel 
cup, a trophy donated to the club several years ago by 
Col. Tripp, in response to the club’s need of an incentive 
for most trying and difficult amateur competition, i-ach 
of these has a different and well-defined mission to ful¬ 
fill, and that they are well appointed and timely is con-

PUBLISHERS’ DEPARTMENT. 
The Slocum hand-power motor, manufactured by the 
company of the same name, at Erie, Pa., is a novelty 
in boat motors, and both in results and in cost, appears 
to be midway between the inexpensive and laborious 
oars, and the expensive and very powerful moving gaso¬ 
line me tor. A circular describing the device will be sent 
on application by the Slocum Hand-Power Motor Co., 
Erie, Pa. 
The manufacturers of the U-B live frog harness are 
certainly right when they speak of this device as a sensa¬ 
tional hit. It has the striking advantage of exposing a 
bait more attractive and more durable than has before 
been known, and also of doing it in a way that is 
humane, though, to be sure, the question of the nervous 
system of the amphibious need not give us much- un¬ 
easiness. Anglers for black bass, pike-perch and pick¬ 
erel will certainly want to make trial of this device, and 
will do well to write to Messrs. Unkefer & Bradley, 91 
Dearborn street, Chicago, Ill. 
Attention is called to the advertisement of the country 
house advertised as for rent in North Wales. The 
salmon and trout fishing, and the grouse shooting—far 
more of both than the average man and his guests could 
use—make this offer a particularly attractive one to a 
sportsman who cares to spend a season in Britain. Ap¬ 
plication by interested persons should be made to Messrs. 
Alexander & Green, 120 Broadway, New York city. 
The man who has lost overboard from canoe, boat or 
sail boat a gun, or rod, or reel, at the precise moment 
when it was most needed, is likely to spend hours 
or days trying to recover the lost article. If a Zoll-White 
retriever were attached to the missing article, there would 
be no trouble whatever in finding and recovering it. 
The device is wholly novel, and persons who wish to 
know more about it’ will do well to communicate with 
the manufacturers, the Zoll-White Retriever Co., Findlay, 
Ohio.
