Providence (R. I.) Revolver Club. 
Am apology is due our friends of St. Louis for an 
error in the scores reported, they having defeated our 
team by a good many more points than credited. 
The conditions of the match were that in case pistols 
were used by any of the shooters they would be handi¬ 
capped two points per string. In arranging the match 
it was found that several of the men would shoot pistols, 
hence it was agreed that six points should be added to 
each revolver shooter’s total. Upon receipt of the tele¬ 
gram announcing the St. Louis team total, the reports 
went in. but when the detailed score sheet arrived it was 
found that the Missouri boys had telegraphed on their 
scores as shot, deducting two points per string for the 
pistol shooters, hence the gross scores of the teams 
were: St. Louis 2515; Providence 2366. St. Louis there¬ 
fore won by 149 gross. Had we been as swift in shoot¬ 
ing as in reporting, our defeat might not have reflected 
in anything discreditable to our team. We sincerely hope 
our St. Louis friends will accept our regrets at the 
error, for while a trimming of 89 points is enough to 
make them happy, yet their scores were of such a high 
order that it should be known they turned the trick and 
outclassed us by a total that will always cause us to 
take off our hats in due respect to a bunch that can out- 
shoot anything in the good old United States. (Now fot 
trouble, and we hope for news of challenges directed 
toward the want-to-be-shown State by some clubs that 
can give them more satisfaction than we were able to.) 
Mr. T. C. Cooke, of the Montreal, Canada, A. A. A. 
Revolver Club, drifted around to our range last Satur¬ 
day afternon and evening, and besides making the visit 
one of interest to us, showed his ability to shoot in 
American air, putting up a good score with pistol, and 
also with the Krag, which he shot for the first time. 
The following scores were made in a 50-shot match at 
25yds., 10 -shot strings, % in. ring target, %in. center;

April 26.—To soothe our feelings, the return match 
with the members of the Des Moines, la.. Revolver 
Club resulted in a win for us, the scores being 826 to 
755 in our favor. 
Teams were cut to five men each, 20 shots per man, at 
20yds. Almy, of our team, had one of the prettiest groups 
that we have seen in some time, scoring 98. and had the 
bunch been raised a little, the “possible” would have 
resulted. Both Freeman and Almy shot pistols in this 
match, the rest using revolvers with the exception of 
Lieut. Miller, who started his first string with a pistol, 
and found, too late, that his rear sight was knocked to 
one side, thus giving him a poor start. Pie finished 
with his old reliable officer’s model Colt. Argus was 
unprepared for the match, and having shot away his 
allowance of indoor ammunition, was forced to borrow 
a strange gun. but made good.

My Friend The Partridge 
By S. T. HAMMOND 
T HIS delightful presentment of the glories of Autumn days with gun and dog in the 
crisp New England woods in search of the noblest of native game birds, which 
has already delighted thousands of readers of FOREST AND STREAM, is now 
ready for delivery in book form. 
Mr. Hammond knows his upland coverts as no other writer of the day. He makes 
no empty boast when he calls the partridge his friend, and, moreover, makes his every 
reader a friend of this splendid bird. He succeeds in a rare degree, not only in describing 
the ruffed grouse, its habits and habitat, and the pleasures of its pursuit, but in surrounding 
his reader with the very atmosphere of the leaf-scented Autumn woods. Mr. Hammond’s 
book is a welcome addition to the library of sport.

Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danvis

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.
