Washington, D. C.—Arrangements for the entries of 
e rifle and revolver teams in the Olympic games are 
oceeding satisfactorily. An appeal has been made by 
e National Rifle Association to its life members and 
other patriotic Americans for funds to defray the 
:penses of the rifle team. Secretary Albert S. Jones, 
Washington, D. C., is receiving the subscriptions, 
uring the first week in June there will be exhaustive 
sts of ammunition made by the leading ammunition 
impanies for the new Springfield rifle, either on the 
istrict of Columbia range or at Annapolis. The follow- 
ig week the competition for places on the team will 
; held at Camp Perry, with about thirty of the best 
ids in the United States as competitors. The result 
ill be announced June 13, and the entries cabled at 
ice to London. 
The National Rifle Association has received the ap- 
ication of the rifle club of the University of Idaho, at 
oscow, Idaho, for enrollment among the college clubs 
filiated with the N. R. A. It is probable the project of 
i intercollegiate shoot next month will be abandoned, 
; there are not sufficient entries to justify the same, 
ieanwhile the beautiful college trophy remains in the 
istody of the N. R. A. Other recent affiliations are 
om the Southern California Rifle Association, of Los 
ngeles; Governor’s Troop, of Harrisburg, Pa.; and 
le Denver Rifle Club Association. 
New prices for ammunition furnished by the Gov- 
-nment to the National Guard and Government rifle 
ubs, through the N. R. A., have been established as 
'flows: Model of 1896—Ball cartridges, $31.90; blank, 
'0.25; dummy, $23; guard, $24; gallery practice, ,22cal., 
1.05. For model 1908. Krag—Ball cartridges, $29.75; 
lank, $18; dummy, $22; guard. $19; gallery practice, 
Ocal., $15.25. Ammunition will hereafter be packed in 
-00-round lots, and should be ordered in multiples. The 
rices for 1906 ammunition include clips, bandoleers and 
nc-lined cases. 
The South Dakota National Guard range is being used 
y the regular troops from Fort Crook, Neb. The 
mge has been put in first-class shape, permitting firing 
om 200 to 1,000yds. A water-works system has been 
istalled, new targets have been added and the range 
enerally improved. 
PUBLISHERS’ DEPARTMENT. 
A hammock is often left out of the camping outfit be- 
ause it is rather unhandy to carry. This is not true of 
te Panama hammock, made by D. W. Shoyer & Co., of 
94 Broadway, New York city. This one comes in a 
eat bag 7 x 15 inches in size, and its weight is only four 
ounds. Read their advertisement in another column.

Panama Hammock 
No trouble to take it along as it comes 
packed in a neat canvas bag but 7x15 inch¬ 
es in size and less than 4 lbs. in weight com¬ 
plete. It is as superior to other hammocks 
as a Panama is to an ordinary straw hat. 
In fact, it is the 
Strongest, Largest, Lightest 
and Most Compact Hammock 
to be had. The bed is unusually large —5 x 7 feet', af¬ 
fording perfect comfort. The hammock, is made of 
fine, but strong, closely woven fabric, is rigged from 
16 suspention points 
and loops at end of 
cords most beautiful¬ 
ly braided by hand. 
It will stand the 
hardest kind of use 
and can be washed 
Size 7-x 15 in. folded in bag when soiled.
