• Kernersville, N. C v lies in a section where the quail 
shooting is good. If among our readers^ there are nny 
desiring to interest themselves in the quail shooting and 
training kennels such as is advertised elsewhere, they 
will do well to investigate. 
The K. & K. Animated Minnow, we are told, actually 
swims with all the lifelike movement of a real minnow, 
and doing that calls the fish; if it calls the fish it is not 
strange that it is popular. The story of the minnow 
and of the other goods manufactured by this firm is told 
in their catalogue, sent by the K. & K. Manufacturing 
Co., St. Clair St., Toledo, Ohio.

Providence (R. I.) Revolver Club. 
Providence, R. I., April 19.—In the final rifle match 
of the three-cornered contest between two teams of Co. 
A, Sixth Infantry, of Wakefield, Mass., and the team of 
the Providence Revolver Club, the military team cap¬ 
tained by Sergt. Hawkes again gained first place. 
The conditions were six men to a team,_ ten shots per 
man in strings of five, at 25yds., targets with %in. center 
and 4in. rings. The military shots used 22 Winchester 
muskets, while the revolver club men used Krags and a 
new Springfield, with gallery loads. . 
G K Joslin, of the Providence team, was high man, 
scoring 246 out of 250 points, including one string of 124, 
which escaped by a hair from being a possible, ine 
scores: _

We are breathing easier; even the prospects of a third 
trimming by the military cracks of Wakefield, Mass., and 
sundry other opportunities for shooters to add to their 
laurels fail to make us uneasy; we are standing the 
taunts of Rhode Island citizens, but breathing easy, for 
the match with the invincible St. Louis aggregation of 
world record-breakers is a thing of the past, the sus¬ 
pense is ended; likewise certain feelings of suppressed 
emotion which tends to cause the shakes, commonly 
known as buck fever, and which were in positive evi¬ 
dence at the line-up last Wednesday night when we 
shot our targets. Only one man escaped; Freeman, the 
nervy chap, whom nothing worries, and who stands up 
and knocks the center out of the target and tries to 
get the rest to do the same. But the rest were panic- 
stricken with the terrible knowledge that their targets 
were going westward, that, while they stood at the 
firing point and tried to get the muzzles of sundry six- 
shooters somewhere near the black, those famous holders 
of possibles, medals and other things, were calmly plug¬ 
ging out scores that knock things here galleywest, and 
had one single man had the nerve to stampede, the rest 
would have followed, leaving the gallery like a haunted 
house. It was pitiful to see these fellows shiver and 
groan and turn white and shut their eyes and pray the 
bullets would at least hit the target. Providence is truly 
kind to its citizens, for the shooters did manage to keep 
within a foot circle, with now and then a gun going off 
as the muzzle twitched across the bull, and the holder 
of the butt looking wild-eyed and amazed at the accident. 
In other words, we had a match at 20yds., ten men to 
a team, 30 shots per man, with the St. Louis Revolver 
Club, and got trimmed. Not but what we expected that, 
hut we did not expect to make quite such a miserable 
fizzle of scores as were shown up. 
If some one will kindly give us a lucid idea why of 
late we are shooting such lowdown, punky, no-account 
strings, they will be voted in as a life member with full 
privileges even to knock any one, from our dishonored 
president to the club goat. .
