THE BLAUVELT RIFLE RANGE. 
Since the opening at Blauvelt, Rockland 
County, N. Y., of the new State rifle range, the 
largest in the country, a succession of matches 
for marksmen’s decorations was in progress at 
the 2 oo- and 300 -yard rifle ranges and at the 
pistol range, until Oct. 31 , when the range was 
closed for the season. 
The average attendance of contestants was 
about three hundred men, but it is expected 
that by next spring, when the longer ranges are 
finished, the attendance will average more than 
a thousand men. 
To raise the standard of marksmanship among 
our volunteer soldiers is the purpose of this 
range, upon which more than $ 1 , 000,000 has 
been expended by the State. Since Creedmoor 
was abandoned the New York National Guard 
has been greatly handicapped by the lack of a 
proper range for rifle practice. Many of our 
regiments have had to go to New Jersey to 
shoot at the targets. American soldiers are 
among the best marksmen in the world, both 
on sea and shore. This has been demonstrated 
time and again in the various matches at home 
and abroad, where they have won many valuable 
prizes and captured the highest honors, but it 
is only by constant practice that a high state of 
efficiency with the rifle can be maintained. 
While the Blauvelt range was built primarily 
for the National Guard, it will be open to sharp¬ 
shooters, organized marksmen and other mili¬ 
tary or semi-military organizations. It is suf¬ 
ficiently large to accommodate fifty-six men at 
the 200 -yard targets at one time, thirty at the 
300 -yard targets and fifty-six at the 1 , 000 -yard 
targets. There are also a pistol range and a 
large skirmish field. 
On approaching the grounds, the first thing 
one sees is an immense embankment, some five 
hundred feet long and about forty feet high, 
the top of which is perfectly flat and grassed. 
On this bank are fifty-six tables and seats for 
the scorekeepers, and back of them stretches 
a long row of telephones, connecting with the 
markers behind the butts. The firing line for 
the marksmen is just in front of the score- 
keepers’ tables. 
At the butts large concrete walls have been 
built to protect the men who operate the racks 
which hold the targets. In front the walls are 
banked with earth almost to the top, and all 
exposed concrete is faced with special carbon¬ 
ized steel. which is not affected by the bullets. 
Behind the walls are wide concrete sidewalks,

THE NARRATIVE OF A SPORTSMAN 
INTER-OCEAN HUNTING TALES 
EDGAR F. RANDOLPH 
A series of hunting reminiscences of rare charm for the sportsman and for 
the wider circle which delights in true tales of outdoor life. With none of the high 
coloring and exaggeration which give a false note to so many hunting stories, Mr. 
Randolph’s book is never lacking in interest. 
He covers the field of sport with the rifle, east and west, drawing a vivid word 
picture of life in the open, subordinating his own exploits to the main incidents of 
outdoor experience, giving much valuable information on camp life, hunting and the 
habits of wild game, and continually delighting the reader with the freshness of his 
viewpoint. 
This book will strike a sympathetic chord in the memory of every big-game 
hunter of experience and will prove of real value to the novice who is planning an 
excursion into the wild.
