Providence (R. I) Revolver Club. 
One has to reach the bottom of a tobaggan slide some 
time; sometimes it is an easy letdown, at others a bump. 
For the past few months our regulars have been sliding, 
their scores in various telegraph matches have been 
nearing the limit of the wrong end with dangerous per¬ 
sistency, until finally some of the men bumped and 
commenced to climb back again \\ ednesday night we 
shot a ten-man team match with the Des Moines, la., 
Revolver Club. To the goddess of the shoot we give 
our heartfelt thanks; we won; we had luck and also 
some high scores by those who gathered themselves to¬ 
gether in time. To these notables our hats were duly 
doffed, while to the others, the fellows who were at the 
bottom, at least two who should not have been, well, 
certain ironical, non-corrosive and center hitting re¬ 
marks were duly directed, while Soapy Smith and 
the “Horse Thief” stood by and grinned -because they 
had saved their necks by a narrow margin. One of the 
“.Twins” sat on the bag of sawdust, refusing to be com¬ 
forted by the odor of the stuff that all good matches 
are tipped with, emanating from the corner in which 
Gardiner was sighing asthma-like and clutching the 
shelf to stand still. It is probable that in the near 
future a separate body will be organized composed ex¬ 
clusively of who are now entering the good old has-been 
class, of which lately there has been a goodly number. 
But those who did shoot saved the day. Mr. 1 ark- 
hu'St swung his officer’s model for a clean score of 
bulls, raising our gallery record. The match? It was 
between teams of ten men of the Des Moines, la and 
our revolver club, 20 shots per man at 20yds., and the 
scores were: . , „

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 ot 
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. 
Each spring, anglers residing in New 7 ork ask us 
where they may go to get nearby fishing. Be it known 
to alTsuch inquirers that the lakes and streams of Sulli¬ 
van and Delaware counties, reached by the line of the 
N. Y.. Ontario & Western Railway, offer the nearest 
good fishing to New York. Anglers who wish to try the 
fishing made famous by Messrs. Gordon and Sherwood, 
should send 8 cents in stamps for a copy of “Summer 
Homes” book to J. C. Anderson, Traffic Manager, 56 
Beaver street, New York city. 
In these days it is a growing custom among the well- 
to-do to, hire shootings in England, or even to purchase 
temporary homes there. An opportunity to do the latter 
is offered by the advertisement of Little Sodbury Manor, 
in the County of Gloucester, not far from Badminton, the 
seat of the Duke of Beaufort. The place is said to be 
admirably situated for every kind of sport, and is within 
two hours of London. Illustrated information about it 
will be sent on application to Messrs. Ferris & Puckridge, 
Milton. Pewsey, Wilts. England. 
MY SIXTY YEARS ON 
THE PLAINS 
By W. T. HAMILTON 
It tells of trapping, trading, Indian fighting, hunting, 
and all the many and varied incidents of the trapper’s 
life. It is full of adventure and excitement, but the story 
is told modestly, and there is nothing in it that is lurid. 
Amid much fighting, there is nothing that can be called 
‘‘blood and thunder,” but there is much that is history. 
The book has all the charm of the old volumes, telling 
of early travel in the West; books which were simple and 
direct, and in which there was no striving for effect. 
It is illustrated by a portrait of the author and one of 
the celebrated Chief Washaki, and by six drawings of old- 
time trapper and Indian life, by Mr. Charles M. Russell, 
the celebrated cowbcy artist of Great Falls, Montana.

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 ana 
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.

Be&.rs I Have Mel—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 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.
