Providence (R. I ) Revolver Club. 
The happy family went up against world record makers 
igain last Saturday, and much to the surprise of all the 
members, won out. The match was at 50yds., ten men 
o a team, 30 shots per man in strings of ten; signed 
argets exchanged; the St. Louis team to shoot their 
scores Sunday and wire us the total. 
When our team finished, the principal cause of won¬ 
derment was as to how much we had been trimmed, and 
.vhat manner of thaumaturgy brought about the news 
hat was phoned right and left Monday morning is still 
in open question, which will doubtless only be decided 
.vhen we are snowed under again to break the feeling 
pf high-browness that is prone to hover around certain 
leads, even those whose scores do not warrant any in¬ 
dividual feeling of exaltation. 
Of course there is no explanation due for Freeman; 
e is always in the lead, and there are some others who 
:iang along at a steady gait, while Willard, who, by the 
way, was once a member of the Missouri outfit, did 
himself proud by a handsome 96 score that pulled up 
some of the lowly laggards. Then again there were some 
interesting features; for instance, “Soapy Smith,” he of 
he forty-five started out with a clean miss that made the 
splinters fly and caused a hoarse laugh from the “Horse 
Thief,” but the aforesaid Soapy ground together his re- 
:ently gold-filled teeth and serenely planked out bulls 
enough to draw up an 88 to finish, and then lit his pipe 
and sat on the doorstep waiting for his side partner, 
‘Hoppy,” a soubriquet bestowed on an unfortunate who 
has been drifting away from the bull with alarming 
frequency of late, and fits the name well, generally being 
hopping with wild rage and self condemnation, assisted 
oy sundry remarks relegating him to the genus has been. 
But here are the scores, which speak for themselves:

Auburn Rif e Club. 
Auburn, Me.. May 16.—The scores of the Auburn 
Rifle Club for the week are as follows: 
Rifle—H. E. Doten, 247, 243. 241; N. L. Mower, 242, 
242, 241, 240, 238; G. M. Seavev, 240, 239; W. M. Trask, 
239 
‘ Pistol—H. E. Doten. 85, 84, 74; W. M. Trask, 84, 83; 
V. T. Healey, 90, 83, 74. 
In a week we shall be able to shoot out of doors. 
Our target house is in such a place that it has just 
;ot thawed out, so that we can get the frames out. 
Since I last wrote vou, our club has lost one of its 
most enthusiastic riflemen by the death of W. M. 
Miller, who died of apoplexy on May 7. He was one of 
lur charter members and a good rifle shot, a man who 
rould be depended on to be on the range at all the 
dub shoots if it was possible. 
Mr. Miller was a man whom all our club will miss, 
■tot only for his shooting, but for his genial presence 
ind kindly spirit. W. M. Trask.

Kennel Diseases 
By “Ashiiiont” (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 of 
any other work yet attempted upon the subject. The 
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.
