 the outline of a man. The bull's-eye will be three inches in 

 diameter, the centre eight inches in diameter, the space 

 above the hips will constitute the inner, and the remainder 

 of the figure the outer. We rather object to the name given 

 to this match, and a better one should be used.

Tub Nevada Badc+e.— It looks as though the Nevada 

 Badge was to remain at Oswego, with the Potty-eighth 

 Regiment, Co. A, for another year. On Saturday last thirty- 

 five men went out and rolled up a total of 1,222 in the possi- 

 ble 1,750 at 200 and 500 yards. The shooting was witnessed 

 by M. D, Hind and O. M. Durkee, of the Twentieth Separate 

 Company of Binghamton ; Col. Chase, Inspector of Rifle 

 Practice, Sixth Division, N. G. S. N. Y., and Col. Manning 

 of Syracuse. Two representatives of the Binghamton Com- 

 pany were also there. The badge has now been up for com- 

 petition four years, and Co. A has held steady possession of 

 ft from the start, with figures as follows : 



1ST5— 16 men l,MT 1S77— 35 men,... 1471

Two companies of the Seventh Regiment haye already 

 fired this season, but neither succeeded in running over a 

 thousand. The Binghamton Company scored up to 1,089, 

 and there are yet to be heard from one company at Creed- 

 moor, one at Whitehall and two at Auburn, but it is not con- 

 sidered likely that the scores will overtop the Oswego ex- 

 hibit. The range scores stood as follows :

 lowing extracts from a letter written by Mr. W. Ferguson, 

 dated Inverness, Aug. 21, to a gentlemen in this city: "I 

 met ah the team at Wimbledon, and enjoyed a talk over the 

 kind way we were received when in New York. You may 

 have seen by the papers that the shooting was superior to 

 the previous Wimbledous. Yon must have noticed how 



successful Humphrey was with bis Remington Here

 ton :

A Lytcn Taxidermist.— We happen to have seen some re- 

 markable nice work done by Mr. A. M. Tufts, of Lynn, Mass. 

 Not only was the bird well poised and naturally mounted, but 

 the whole conception was artistic. Mr. Tufts prepares and 

 preserves all kinds of birds and animals, and has all the ad- 

 juncts and accessories of the business for sale. Our friends 

 in Massachusetts should let this taxidermist try his skill on 

 some of their late acquisitions.
