been nowhere demonstrated more fore
IDLY than in Lyman II. Howe's new
program which will appear at the llli-

There is little in the length and

capes Mr.. Howe's unremitting re

Of NATIONAL and international activities.
These traits distinguish this exhibition
with an atmosphere found in no Others

Tho National Board has noted with
Measure the progress made In training
the police of different cities to use
their revolvers for the encouragement
of revolver shooting. It comes within
tho purvlew OF the Board, and several
nolice officers have shot In the Ma

" composed of ex-soldiers and ma

spent several thousand dollars In

Of its venture until 1t developed that

tions now prescribe a rating of ten
per cent for skill with the revolver
and every candidate for promotion Is
required to qualify by making at least
twenty out of a possible fifty or he Is
barred from the written examinations
When other cities follow Rochesters

In that state, and are securing lin
tied number of the government Krags
through the ordnance department of
the Army The proposition Is to have
an indoor shoot between teams repre-
senting the signal corps Of Ypslanti

Dor, at which the prizes. instead of
the usual medals or trophies, will be
annuN subscriptions to the seven
leading military and rifle publications
Of this country These publications
will be on file in the reading room Of
the winning team.
So Interested have they become in
rifle practice In Detroit that the Mich
igan state Rifle Association has
loaned one of It's Krags to a shooting
gallery In Detroit, whose proprietor
has fitted up a special 75-foot gallery
for military rifle practice and will
give free instructions In its use. This
Is said to be the first commercial rifle
gallery in the United States to pro-
vide facilities for practicing with the
national weapon.
How to retain the interest of expert
rifle shots In the the sport, is ques-
ton that has often been discussed. In
writing to the National Board for the
Promotion of Rifle Practice, an ac-
tive organizer of civilian rifle clubs
saws that this can best be done by
the organization Of citizens rifle clubs,
Many expert rihemen leave the army
and militia and drop out of sight II
they had an opportunity to join a RI
fle club where they would get the use
of government rifles a range and am
munition to which they were accus-
toned, they would be glad to keep In
practice and the time spent In train
ing them originally would not be lost.
