This interesting little volume is a practical guide for the

| from the city and for a short time to make his canoe 
his home. 
c With this in view, Mr. Frazer, who regards 
canoeing as a healthful and economical method of nass- 
ing away leisure hours, has written briefly, but attrac- 
tively, of canoes, camping outfits, clothing, firearms and 
ammunition, fishing tackle, photography, and in general 
of cruising, camping and all that pertains to this phase 
of outdoor life.

terials of Construction; Paddles; Air Tanks; Sails; Steer- 
ing Gear; Fittings and Duffle; Camping Outfits; Tents

Gute’s score of 2466 would win; and at the Grand 
Rapids tournament William A. Tewes scored 2481 points 
—all very close to the possible for man, rifle and am- 
munition. It was also known that Mr. Gute had set his 
heart on winning, and to that end had spent much of his 
leisure time during the past few months in practicing 
diligently. What happened was that Arthur Hubalek, a 
young man who has been shooting in the indoor ranges 
only about three years in all, stepped in and made the 
highest score. 
One thing that was very noticeable throughout the 
match was the better grouping of shots by those who used 
telescope sights, and the higher average of these men 
over other years. Last year only a few used telescopes, 
while this year only a few shot without them. In all, 
twenty-six of this year’s contestants used telescopes, and 
ten did not. This does not show that the magnification 
of the bullseye is so important as the ability to see it 
clearly, for the majority favor low-power glasses, some 
using glasses of three-power, or not above four. The 
better shooting also shows that the riflemen have grown 
accustomed to the different manner of holding, and they 
shoot a bit more rapidly than formerly and depend not 
so much on steady holding as on touching the trigger 
at the proper moment. 
The high average of the first nine men shows how 
perfect are the rifles, telescopes and ammunition of to- 
day, although the manufacturers insist that they are 
striving to turn out still better ones, for most of the 
bullets fired by these men would have driven or touched 
a tack placed in the center of their bullseyes. 
Good fellowship was evident throughout the tourna- 
ment, for some of the riflemen who are the keenest rivals 
for high honors are the best of chums. 
Worthy of special notice are the full scores of Mr. 
Hubalek and Mr. Ittel, two; the good average of Louis 
Maurer, who is one of the oldest riflemen of this city, 
and the score of G. T. Conti, fired in 55 minutes. 
All shooting was at 75ft., offhand, with .22cal. rifles 
and short cartridges. The winning. scores in the various 
events follow: 
One-nundred-shot championship match, fired in strings 
of five shots at any time during the tournament, at 75ft., 
offhand, on the jin. 25-ring target; telescopes allowed; 
twenty cash prizes, ranging from $15 down to $2, a gold 
badge and a dozen merchandise prizes; possible for each 
string, 125; for ten shots, 250; for 100 shots, 2,500 points.
