fifteen public, private and military schools.

Myles Standish Rifle Club. 
Portland. Me., March 21.—The re-entry tournament 
goes on to the last week Monday, and everybody is on 
the scramble to get in line. Some are very coolly sitting 
hack and settling down into prize positions. I hese they 
hold about ten hours, or until another night comes, and 
then there is a rude awakening and one finds himself 
forced out of the coveted position. Then it is to take a 
gun in hand and go after some one s scalp 
In the hand gun division, Hayden is still leading with 
a fine score of 945; Hatch next with 937, Fawcett with 
IPO and Adams with 91S. . 0P . 
In the rifle division Wilkins is at the head with 490, 
Cobb second with 493, Hayden with 49l, and Stevens 
with 488. Hayden is high gun with the pistol, sing le 
string of 98 and a 50-shot record of 450, made with a 
]3S revolver, target sights. He is also high in the ag¬ 
gregate with 1437. ... 
The National and State championship matches with 
revolver and pistol have been taking up a great deal ot 
time and attention this week. At this writing all the 
■contestants have not shot, three haying to shoot this 
evening, otherwise scores would be given this week, it 
has been noted this week that the shooting game is a 
very strange and fascinating one, and even the most 
tried and true have been found wanting at the critical 
"'oT'the 27th we are to have a combat with our old 
friends the Providence Revolver Club. „ . . 
March 17.—Another interclub match was contested to¬ 
night this time with rifles, military, and with the crack 
Company A, Sixth Massachusetts Regiment. lhe con¬ 
ditions were a team of ten men representing each c ub, 
each team shot in its own gallery, with artificial light 
and at 20yds. Four targets apiece were distributed, on 
which were shot five shots, 20 shots per man. As in our 
first match of the season we were victorious this time 
by a margin of 25 points. It was regretted that four of 
the Company A regular team were not present, which 
no doubt handicapped them considerably. It is noted 
that the Standish team only shows nine points difference 
between high and low man on the totals.

PUBLISHERS’ DEPARTMENT. 
The very large number of people, young and old, who 
enjoy building their own boats will be especially inter¬ 
ested in the advertisement of the Detroit Boat Co., 
which, being a very large builder of pleasure boats, is 
in position to sell any one full-sized working patterns, 
knockdown frames and material from dry stock, with 
which to build boats themselves. These are the precise 
patterns of stock used by the company in building their 
own regular boats. A catalogue will be sent free to any 
applicant to the Detroit Boat Co., 284 Bellevue avenue, 
Detroit, Mich. 
“The Feathered Game of the Northeast. 1 bv Mr. \\ alter 
II. Rich, a well-known Maine sportsman and naturalist, 
has attracted much attention from both classes to which 
it appeals. It is warmly spoken of by John Burroughs 
and has had favorable comment from competent critics. 
It was reviewed in Forest and Stream Jan. 11, 1908, and 
is for sale by Thomas Y. Crowell & Co., New York. 
The latest catalogue of the Hunter Arms Co., Fulton, 
N. Y., justifies more than this famous firm modestly 
claims for it, that is to say, “the most complete we 
have ever issued from our office.” It is a beautiful work 
•of art. It depicts the Smith guns from the lowest to 
lhe highest in price, including their new 20-gauge. The 
■color effects add much to the beauty and realism of the 
illustrations. This firm guarantees all Smith guns to 
shoot any nitro powder and not get loose. lhe cata¬ 
logue is sent free to applicants. 
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 ot 
any other work yet attempted upon the subject. lhe 
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.

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 
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.

Bears I Have 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 and 
children, many of whom perhaps acquired their first 
interest in these animals by reading of the achievements 
of the hears which figured in Bible history. At all 
events, the stories in this volume are interesting, and 
are well worth the reading by any audience.
