Manhattan Rifle and Revolver Association. 
Armbruster’s Greenville Schuetzen Park, May 9.—At 
e weekly shoot of this club to-day, the rather odd 
ectacle was presented of most of the revolver shooters 
acticing with rifles, and most of the riflemen practicing 
ith revolvers. This was due to the near approach of the 
atch with the Cercle des Carabiniers de Paris, which 
ems to have become a sort of annual fixture with the 
ub. 
Considerable interest, however, centered in a trial being 
ade by Dr. W. G. Hudson with a new and cheaper 
>wder which the Du Pont Company is about to put on 
e marked, called Schuetzen Smokeless. V'ery naturally, 
1 of the shooters were interested in noting whether the 
leaper powder would give as good results. The scores 
ade by the Doctor settled this point, and even he looked 
little surprised. The new powder is bulky, like No. 1, 
it has a deep orange color instead of the familiar yellow. 
The match with the Frenchmen begins May 16, and the 
embers of the Manhattan team have the ensuing week 
• complete their scores. The Frenchmen do their shoot- 
g in Paris, and the results are exchanged by cable, 
ach man fires 40 shots with pistol and 40 with the rifle. 
Score made by Dr. W. G. Hudson, at the regular 
eekly club shoot at Greenville, N. J., May 9, with the 
:w Du Pont Schuetzen Smokeless and Ideal bullet No.

Since the ice has gone out of the Northern rivers and 
le warm days have come, people generally are thinking 
bout their summer trips and their summer vacations, 
dong the Canadian Pacific Railway there are said to 
e 30,000 islands, some with house camps to rent, and 
)me with summer hotels. 
Some of us remember the Nepigon River as far back 
s 1867, and the great fish that were caught there then. 
lot of them are still left, for much of this territory is 
:t virgin; but if one does not care for trout, there are 
ass and mascalonge in many of these Canadian waters, 
he advice given by the company is good: “Before 
eciding a summer trip write L. O. Armstrong, Windsor, 
treet Office, Montreal, Canada.’’ 
Few people realize how much it costs to make a 
erfect machine, even though that machine may be a 
nail one. Look at the Takapart reel for example, a 
lachine of many parts, each of which must be made with 
tcuracy and must fit with precision. Tools must be 
lanufactured to make the different parts of this reel, 
ad perhaps tools to make these tools, so we imagine that 
is an understatement rather than an exaggeration that 
costs $10,000 to produce the first perfect Takapart reel.
