'Rifle Range and Gallery 
A! Camp Perry. 
Camp Perry, Ohio. — Few men are more expert with 
military rifle than Dr. Walter G. Hudson, of the Man¬ 
hattan Rifle and Revolver Association, of New York city. 
He was connected with the National Guard of New 
Jersey for a number of years and afterward was captain 
and assistant surgeon of the ‘3th New York Infantry, 
but modestly prefers to be known as a civilian rifle shot. 
He has been in attendance at the matches at Camp 
Perry and Sea Girt, N. J., and other rifle camp's for a 
number of years and has won many prizes. He was a 
member of the Palma trophy team of 1902, of the Amer¬ 
ican team in the Irish-American match at Sea Girt in 
190.1, and of the Palma trophy team again in 1907. For 
a place on the latter team Dr. Hudson made the high 
score in competition. He also made the high score with 
the rifle and revolver in the International match between 
the Manhattan Rifle and Revolver Association and the 
Cercle des Carabiniers of Paris in June, 1907, when he 
broke the French and world’s record at 200yds. on the 
French target. Dr. Hudson is especially well known 
as an authority on ballistics and explosives, and is the 
author of several famous works on rifle practice. lie 
will be one of the leading contestants in the matches 
at both Sea Girt and Camp Perry. 
A great deal of attention has been directed at Camp 
Perry to the Benet-Mercier Gun, which is one of Uncle 
Sam’s new death dealers. The gun is fired from a rest 
and held against the shoulder of a man sitting or lying 
prone on the ground. The gun fires the regulation rifle 
cartridge from clips each containing fifty cartridges. A 
rapid handler can discharge from 300 to 500 shots per 
minute if assisted by some one passing the cartridge 
clips. 1 n reality the gun is a machine gun on a small 
scale and can be easily operated by two men who are 
supposed to carry the gun and ammunition. It is manu¬ 
factured in this country by the Colt Patent Fire Arms 
Company for the United States Government. 
Among the many marksmen to compete in ‘the matches 
at Camp Perry is Major William B. Martin of Sea 
Girt, N. J., who is here to defend his title of military 
champion of the L’nited States. Major Martin won 
this title last year by. making the highest aggregate 
score in the President’s match and the National indi¬ 
vidual match, although he did not win either of these 
matches. His total score in the President’s match was 
314, and in the National individual match 322. The 
winner of the President’s match was Midshipman Andrew 
1). Denny, and of the National individual match wa 1 
Midshipman Herbert O. Roesch. All three of these 
marksmen received letters from President Taft, con¬ 
gratulating them on their victories. Major Martin, 
familiarly known as "Billy” Martin, is one of the most 
popular men in the shooting game. A total abstainer 
from alcohol and tobacco he is nevertheless a most 
companionable fellow always ready with a good story 
and a hearty laugh. He has done some great shooting. 
Among other trophies he carried off the Wimbledon 
cup in 1901, and was a member of the American team 
which captured the world’s prizes at the Olympic games 
at Bisley, England, in 190S. On his return he was given 
rousing reception by the Mayor and citizens of 
Elizabeth, N. J., his home town.

FISH CULTURISTS. 
It is fortunate for the disciples of Izaak 
Walton that the United States examination Im¬ 
positions as fish culturists in the Department 
of Fisheries does not take place until Oct. 2, 
when it will be given in the old Custom House 
in St. Louis. 
This will give those who are yearning for 
the job a chance to brush up on the subject. 
The man who succeeds in telling his Uncle 
Samuel the big’gest fish story, and proving it, 
will start in at the munificent salary of $600 per 
year. 
Spelling is one of the first requirements 
exacted by the Government. The applicant will 
be asked to spell twenty words of average 
difficulty. Then a whirl is taken at arithmetic. 
The wouldbe fish culturist will be expected to 
add, subtract, multiply and count. Letter writ¬ 
ing comes in for its share. Copying, too, is a 
requirement. Then the very last requirement is 
that the applicant must answer a lot of ques¬ 
tions on practical fish culture. On all of the 
important subjects before cited he is graded 
only six points, while on this latter subject 7° 
points hang in the balance. If he fails to score 
on this he will not be graded at all on the other 
points.—St. Louis Times. 
All the fish laws of the United States and 
Canada, revised to date and now in force, are 
given in the Game Laws in Brief. See adv.
