the most attractive and progressive sub
urban residence sections about the city
but also one OF the Oldest in the favor of
New Workers. Even in Colonial times tie
charms Of the Hudson and Of Its pict-

well-to-do families many of whom had
their country estates along It's shores
Later on. when the Albany Post Road
was one OF the main travelled highways
OF the country. when steamboats, began
to ply up and down the river. and finally
when the railway came. bringing city and
country into closer terms. this section
continued to be the site of fine homes and
beautiful country estates. and many
names famous in the country's history
are interviewer in It's local chronicles.
OF recent years the great demand for
suburban homes, coupled with the easy
and direct communication between the
city and the section lying to the north
ward along the river front has caused

A small bore rifle Of good design and

designing Il range, therefore, you are

which is another reason for its grow

over, is possible at all seasons OF the
year, for even an outdoor range can
be protected in winter SO that its use

In addition to capital club must
have income to meet its current work

system on which clubs have been man
aged practically the only source of in
come has been the members subscrp-
lions. The effect Of this system is to
impose an equal expense on all men,
bers irrespective of the amount of
shooting they do. and this expense has
been such as to deter the less we'll to
do members Of the community from
joining the club. A far more prefer
able system is to impose light annual
subscription and to derive the greatest
source Of income from the sale Of am

without unduly adding to the cost Of
shooting and is more equitable. mas
much as the member who does the
most shooting and thereby uses the
club facilities the most contributes the
most toward the clubs expenses.
At conservative estimate the aver
age member will shoot 1900 shots
year. With fifty members the club
will consume 100000 rounds. This will
cost the members so cents per hundred,

though ci,ls are strongly advised to
make such arrangements ut the begin

This develops Will power, uetermina-
ton and stick to-it-iveness. 1t also
more than almost any other sport de-
velops concentration, self control and
"cod nerve" Many are the matches
where victory or defeat depends on
the man shooting. and he must be able
to keep his hand steady and his judg-
ment cool under the hard strain Of an
exciting competition. There is more
individual work in this sport than in
any other. In baseball or football it is
teamwork that counts. One man may
have an Off day and not make much
difference to the team, but this is not
true in shooting. Rifle practice devel-
ops clean living and temperance. The
rincman has to say goodby to bad hab-
its if he has them.
