Massachusetts Rifle Association. 
\Watnut Hitt, Oct. 26.—The weekly competition of 
je Massachusetts Rifle Association was held at its range 
day in a strong north wind, the raw chill of which 
jade itself felt by every shooter who contested at the 
\id = long ranges, where the firing points are unpro- 
=>ted. 
More interest was shown in the N. R. A. medal.match 
an for several years, five men completing the requisite 
ores, 
The terms of the match, as laid down by the National 
fle Association of America, call for seven shots at 
ch of three ranges, 200, 300 and 500yds., the first two 
ing sighting shots, and the balance for record, 
The position at 200yds. was standing, offhand; 
Jyds., sitting or kneeling, and at 500yds., prone, 
The winner, E, E. Patridge, has just returned from his 
mmer cottage at Rangeley, and his score, 966, shot 
Ith a borrowed rifle, is among the best which have won 
e medal in past years. 
One solitary score of 40 was the highest at the long 
age, where bullseyes, misses, 2s and 3s were scored 
th an apparent lack of rhyme or reason, the wind 
ing so unsteady as to make accurate allowances im- 
ssible. The scores:

AMERICAN 
DUCK SHOOTING 
By GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL|

portrait, every species of duck, goose and swan 
known to North America; tells of the various 
methods of capturing each, the guns, ammunition, 
loads, decoys and boats used in the sport, and 
gives the best account ever published of the re- 
trieving Chesapeake Bay dog. 
About 600 pages, 58 portraits of fowl, 8 full- 
page plates, and many vignette head and tail 
pieces by Wilmot Townsend.
