Rifle Notes. 
The two-days’ trial shooting at Camp Perry, O., to 
determine the riflemen who would be contestants on 
the rifle team of the United States, in the International 
match, was concluded on Aug. 17. The list of the 
twelve men. who excelled is as follows: Major Winder, 
Ohio; Captain Benedict, Ohio; Captain Corwin, New 
York; Dr. Hudson, New York; Sergeant Orr, New 
York; Captain Casey, Delaware; Captain Lemon, Ohio; 
Sergeant Bryant, New York; Captain Tewes, New 
Jersey; Captain Clopton, U. S. A.; Sergeant Emerson, 
Ohio; Corporal Andrews, U. S. M. C. The second 
stage of the test will take place next week, for which 
twenty State teams will arrive to-morrow. Captain 
Tewes is one of the able lieutenants of the Peters Car- 
tridge Co., in the eastern office in New York. He was 
formerly a member of the First New Jersey, when he 
was a battalion adjutant. He is now a member of the 
Fourth Regiment, of Jersey City, where he is regi- 
mental rifle instructor. 
PUBLISHERS’ DEPARTMENT. 
DEALERS in fishing tackle who cater to the anglers 
who troll for game fish will do well to carry a com- 
plete assortment of the braided metal lines made by the 
Metal Line Manufacturing Company, 751 Dawson 
street, New York city. These braided lines can be 
used on a reel intended for silk or linen lines, They 
do not kink nor break, and are not only very effective, 
but extremely convenient for deep trolling, as with 
them sinkers are not needed. The company is now 
making twisted leaders of fine Punjab steel wire that 
appeal to the bait-casters. These leaders are nine inches 
in length and are equipped with two swivels, one of 
which has a clew spring, so that different baits can 
be used at will, and the change made in a moment by 
merely detaching one bait and snapping the spring on 
to another one. The device is a very clever one, and 
is the same for leaders of any desired length. Nor 
will salt water affect the wire.
