each. At intervals the targets are exposed, and while 
they are up, the competitors fire under the direction of 
the team captain. \\ bile they are down, the teams ad¬ 
vance. If they are hit on a target the opposing team 
at once loses a man and his remaining ammunition and 
the man thus lost must remain at the place where 
dropped until the run is completed. The runs continue 
until each team has lost all of its men or both teams 
have exhausted all their ammunition. The winning- 
team will be determined by the aggregate number of 
points, which are given according to the halt where the 
opponents were put out. For instance, the halt furthest 
away from the target, being in the neighborhood of 
1200 yards, is the most difficult range. For each op¬ 
ponent put out at this range the team will be allowed 
six points. All points drop off at each halt down to 
the sixth halt, where one point is allowed. In case of 
ties the teams will make extra runs, 'lhe Evans match 
will continue all day Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. 
The individual long range Tyro match at 1000 yards is 
also set for 8 o’clock Tuesday, as is the COft-yard stage 
of the regimental match. 1 n the afternoon the com¬ 
pany team match and the 600-yard stage of the Presi¬ 
dent’s match will be shot and the final ItOO-vara stage of 
the regimental team match.

PUBLISHERS’ DEPARTMENT. 
There is nothing that makes for comfort in the autumn 
woods or on the water so much as a warm sweater. The 
Blauvelt Knitting Co.. 14 Campbell street, Newark, N. J., 
makes a coat sweater of best quality, and 'specially 
adapted to tile outdoor man’s needs. The Blauvelt 
sweater is sold by the trade, but a style book will be 
sent on application. 
THE GOKAK FALLS. 
Forty miles north of Belgaum lies the great 
lake of Dlnipdal, formed by the dammed up 
waters of the Ghatprabha River. Glancing 
through Murray’s Handbook the other day, 1 
noticed a remark to the effect that the Dlnipdal 
system of canals was an important one. 
Though I visited the place many times, both on 
shooting and fishing trips, I must admit that 
my recollection of anything in the way of canals 
is hazy, nor do I remember where they took 
off, or in which direction they ran. In those 
days one always looked on the" lake more as a 
factor in assuring a steady flow of water to 
work the great turbines of the mill below, than 
as possessing any other functions. Up till now 
the Ghatprabha has meandered its way through 
red soil of the Belgaum plateau, but below the 
lake its character changes, and rocks and boul¬ 
ders take the place of rolling downs. Four 
miles lower, abandoning the plateau, the river 
plunges headforemost into an immense gorge, 
whence it emerges some miles down, till finally 
it joins its waters to those of the Kistna. 
The Gokak Falls, so-called from the village, 
which, however, lies some distance away, are a 
magnificent sight in the rains. ■ Nearly 200 feet 
in depth, the waters roar and boil in their rocky 
bed, as they gather themselves for their leap 
into space, over the great horseshoe curve. Be¬ 
low lies the vast pool of immense depth. 
A short distance above the crest of the falls, 
a suspension bridge is carried across the river, 
and when the latter is swollen from bank to 
bank, it is quite an experience, and one re¬ 
quiring a strong head to stand gripping the sup¬ 
ports in the center of the bridge, while it swings 
to and fro, within a few feet of the swirling, 
racing flood beneath, the while one’s ears are 
deafened with the roar of the great falls so close
