Cincinnati Rifle Association. 
Tue following scores were made in regular competition 
by members of this Association at Four-Mile House, 
Reading Road, March 25. Conditions, 200yds., offhand, at 
the Standard American target. Payne was declared 
champion for the day with a score of 89 points; he was 
also high man on the honor target with 27 points. He 
also succeeded in raising the range record to 848 points 
in 100 shots. The semi-annual 100-shot individual cham- 
pionship match was to have taken place to-day, but the 
inclement weather caused so small an attendance that it 
was postponed. Mr. Seitz succeeded in raising his 
record to 82 points to-day. He is getting his hand in 
quite soon for a new member, and may yet give the 
older shooters a hustle for first place. The scores:

PUBLISHERS’ DEPARTMENT. 
The W. H. Mullins Co., of Salem, O., have just re- 
ceived an order for two of their famous pressed steel 
boats, which are to be used on Walter Wellman’s pro- 
posed trip to the North Pole by airship. It is Mr. 
Wellman’s idea to suspend these boats from his airship. 
In placing this order with the W. H. Mullins Co., Mr. 
Wellman paid this company a very high compliment, as 
he states he had investigated the construction employed 
by different firms both abroad and in this country, and 
sites visiting the plant of the W. H. Mullins Co., and 
investigating their construction, he expressed himself 
as being satisfied that theirs was the lightest and at the 
same time the strongest boats in the world. The boats 
being built for Mr. Wellman are 16 ft. long, with 4% 
feet beam, and will weigh less than 300 pounds. The 
W. H. Mullins Co. stand an excellent chance of having 
once of their boats reach the North Pole, as Lieut. 
Robert E. Peary, now on his way to the pole, has one 
of them on the Roosevelt. 
The Small Boy and the Gun. 
From a Mother’s Standpoint. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Ten years ago,’ the question of allowing my 
son, a boy of eight years, to use a gun was a 
vexed one in my mind. One day it was de- 
cidedly settled—first in my own, and later in the 
minds of the boy’s father and grandparents, 
and in this wise: 
It was a beautiful sunny day in October; a 
day when young people, as well as their elders, 
felt it almost a sin to remain indoors, when my 
aforementioned son of-eight years came rush- 
ing into my sitting room where the family as- 
sembled, with a white scared face and trembling 
voice. “Oh, ma, Mrs. Perkins says Jimmy has 
been killed out in the woods. She wants you 
to go right over there!” This exclamation, al- 
though a trifle incoherent, was lucid enough for 
me to understand that some accident had hap- 
pened; and I left the house, only to return some 
hours later saddened by the sight of the death 
of a promising lad of ten years, caused by the 
careless handling of a shotgun. To think!” ex- 
claimed the heart-broken mother, while she was 
surrounded by several sympathetic friends, “I 
have always had such a horror of firearms, and 
never allowed Jimmy to handle a gun. Where 
could he have gotten hold of this one?” 
Poor child, and poor mother! My heart ached 
for her; but it did seem to me as if she had not 
cared for her boy in the right way, and that 
she was almost to blame for his death. Al- 
most any boy will get hold of some sort of 
firearm and “go hunting.” If he has to do it 
by stealth, so much the worse, but do it he will, 
and to the astonishment and wrath of Jack’s 
grandmother, the horror of Jack’s grandfather, 
but with the approval of Jack’s father, Jack had 
a gun. It was a small gun, but well made and 
entirely reliable; and the boy’s delight and 
dignity were indescribable. Do you suppose he 
had it to play with or unconditionally? Not at 
all. It was in vain I tried to quiet the appre- 
hensions of the mothers of the neighborhood by 
telling them my reasons for the gift. In time 
two or three came to argue with me, and their
