the afternoon with the boys on the firing
line.
Maj. r. D. Sims of the 9Th Battalion. It
might be stated, is upholding his reputa-
ton of former years being the most
popular officer in the District CONTINGENT
among the gentler sex.
Wind Was UnfavOrable,
At the opening Of the Wimbledon and IN
spectors' matches this afternoon a strong
wrd was blowing across the range from
the left with a cloudy sky. In the former
match the entries were fewer than were ex-
pected, owing to the less experienced shots
being unable to combat with the wind at
such long range. The chances for the Dis
trict riflcmen winning the inspectors match
are much greater than i'll the Wimbledon,

little Or no opportunity to shoot at the

District Team Well Equipped.
The District rife team is undoubtedly the
best equipped and most comfortably quar-
tered of all the teams now encamped at Sea

trucks which pulled into camp just after
the arrival of the team, one would judge
that the District boys had come to stay.

the main road leading to the club house Of
the New Jersey State Rifle Association. 1t
Is composed of two streets of Sibley tents,
about q hundred yards from a small inlet,
with the officers occupying tents at the
head of the company street. Each tent is
supplied with a complete camp outfit, with
ample room for the arm chests, trunks, etc.
The range has been greatly improved since
last year. by the addition of an S0O 800 and
1 900 yard range, making 1t the finest and
most complete in the country. 1t is second

USES FOR DEERSKIN.
Guides Who Understnnd How to Turn
1t to Good Service.

Guides Who Understand How to Turn
1t to Good Service.
From the New York Sun.
Guides and the native hunters Of the Adj
rondacks region have variety OF uses Tor
the deer they kill. There are still a good
many hunters who know how to tan the
deer's hide and a few who use as one OF
the tanning agents liquid extracted from
the brain of the deer. From the tanned
skin many articles of use are made. The
thick hide from the neck OF an old DUCK
is excellent for moccasins, and the art OF
moccasin making still fingers here among
those whose ancestors learned 1t from the
Indians The men and women Of French
Canadian extraction are especially apt IN
household arts Of this sort, learned from
the savages. Cheap as factory-made gloves
are q few women Of the region still cut
and stitch buckskn gloves.
Whole suits of buckskin are made by ex-
pert women of these parts. Such suits were
once much used by the thrashers, who trav-
eled from one mountain farm to another to
thrash the small oats crop OF the region.
A buckskn suit Is good for dozen years
of hard usage. and with care will last
lifetime 1t is remarkably warm and i'm
perviOus to water.
One rarely sees nowadays such suit
with the hair on. A garment with the hair
on to be serviceable must be made from
the skins of deer Just coming into the

the hair is short, smooth and tough. Later
it is long and brittle. 1t IS necessary, too,
If such a suit is to he of uniform color,
that it be made from corresponding parts
Of skins from deer of about the same age
and shot about the same time Even If the
law did not stand In the way. 1t would be
difficult in these times to shoot In single

the desired quantity Of hide Of uniform color.
so deerskiu suit with the hair on is rarely
seen. One still does see. however, mecca
sins with hair inside and out. and very
soft, warm, inviting slippers they make.
Raccoon skin now furnishes cheap fur gar
ments in these parts, and winter residents
buy or hire overcoats Of coonskin to brave
the January winds.
Raw deer hide is used for many purposes.
1t makes excellent thongs for tying articles
of one kind or another, good whips and
indestructIble shoestrings. You may buy
in these parts rustic chairs with seats and
backs of woven rawhide. The green skin
is cut In thin strips, stretched until II Is

Those Who Cling to Tradition Have

OF late years some Turkish households

such new-fangled ways.
In a conservative Turkish household. rich

these are goblets of sherbet, pieces Of hot
unleavened bread and lockwood spoons.
Knives, forks and plates do not figure in
the service, but each has a napkin spread
upon his knees. and every one. armed with
a spoon, helps himself.
The bowl is presently borne away and an
other dish takes Its place. This time 1t fs

shot just at the right season. Nobody Is
more fastidious than the Adirondack guide
in these little matters. If he cannot have
his deerskin coat or carpet Just as ii should
be, he will go without, though he Is indif-
ferent enough as to store clothes and or
binary household furniture.

Of the deer the guides make by a laborious
process beautifully clear. sweet oil, which
will keep In good condition for years. 1t
is much used by jewelers. and watchmakers
because of peculiar qualities that exactly
fit their needs. This oil is sufficiently scarce
and useful to sell for high price.
Buckhorn walking sticks are much COM
moner in New York than in the Adiron-
dacks and. indeed. the hunter of today finds
little use for the antlers save as trophies
A tiny bone Of the leg furnishes sharp and
strong toothpicks for the native hunter,
and you may occasionally see in the houses
of guides stools, the legs Of which are
those of the deer. carefully cured with the
hide and skin. In beauty and usefulness
they fall far short of the excellent and
durable furniture that guides make from
native evergreen timber.
