“If you are wise”’ 

HITTING vs. MISSING. 
By S. T. Hammond (‘‘Shadow’’). Cloth. Price, $1. 
Mr. Hammond enjoys among his field companions the 
repute of being an unusually good shot, and one who is 
particularly successful in that most difficult branch of 
upland shooting, the pursuit of the ruffed grouse or 
partridge. This prompted the suggestion that he should 
write down for others an exposition of the methods by 
which his skill was acquired. The result is this original 
manual of “Hitting vs. Missing.’”’ We term it original, 
because, as the chapters will show, the author was self- 
taught; the expedients and devices adopted and the 
forms of practice followed were his own. This then may 
be termed the Hammond system of shooting; and as it 
was successful in his own experience, being here set 
forth simply and intelligibly, it will prove not less effec- 
tive with others.

Palisade Gun Club. 
THE seventh tournament of the Palisade Gun Club is 
now history, and a most successful meet it was. 
The day was cold and slightly overcast with hardly 
any wind, consequently higher averages chan usual were 
made. What helped conditions also was the small bay 
which is shot over was frozen; this did away with the 
background of moving water, which puzzles many. 
The programme was not finished until dark, on ac- 
count of the large entry, which ran over thirty-three in 
some events. High average was won by Mr. Geo. 
Piercey with 152 out of 160, an average of 95 per cent, 
and he was heartily congratulated besides being the 
highest winner of the day. 
The club’s method of running tournaments—sliding 
handicap with added money and half your losses back— 
is proving generally satisfactory as the constantly in- 
creasing attendance shows; and we expect a still larger 
attendance on Feb. 22 and March 22, at which $23 will 
be added to each day’s programme, 
The boys expressed great sympathy for our absent 
secretary, on account of a sudden death in his family, 
and we trust that he will be with us shortly. 
The programme being finished at 5:30, the cashier’s 
department was ready to pay off inside of ten minutes 
to the many winners. Mr. H. P. Fessenden was referee, 
Mr. Chas. Stroub scorer and Mr. H. S. Welles cashier, 
Mr. F. A. Cass kindly assisted in the cashier’s office.
