New Tobk — O.vtotgo. — The Remington Rifle Club carried 

 through on the 28th ult. and two succeeding days a very 

 succeessf til initial prize meeting. The majority of the mem- 

 bers are old military shots, and gave a liberal list of prizes for 

 military weapons. The Forty ninth Auburn men, who might 

 have enjoyed a lively contest on the Fort Range at Oswego, 

 remained away, so that the battling really occurred on the in- 

 dividual matches, where the scores for leading places ran very 

 close indeed. A rain on the second day delayed the shooting 

 a little, but the marksmen did not care, and there were no 

 spectators to speak of, so that no one was seriously discom- 

 moded. 



The meeting opened with the Winchester Repeating Rifle 

 Match, at 200 yards, any rifle, open to club members, seven 

 prizes, the first a Winchester Rifle. Scores :

 model weapon, and with excellent shooting in several of the 

 learns, the victory went to the officers, with 190 points in the

New York Rifle Cltxb. — The members of this organiza- 

 tion have been contesting for the Blydenburgh badge in week- 

 ly competition, at Conlin's gal.ery, from Nov. 22, 1877, until 

 last Thursday evening, Nov. 7, 1878, when the trophy was 

 finally won by W. H. Dunlap. During this period a series of 

 thirty-three competitions there was at all times a lively interest 

 taken in the matches, and the rivalry existing between those 

 who had one or more claims, having won the badge in one or 

 more competitions, was very great. Probably the splendid 

 average shooting of the club in the entire match can be ac- 

 counted for to a considerable extent in these facts : The 

 terms on which Mr. C. E. Blydenburg offered the badge to bo 

 shot for were to the effect that the badge would be open to the 

 members of N. Y. R. C. for weekly competition. The members 

 tobe handicaped according to the system proposed byCaptain 

 Blydenburg, and adopted by the club. The badge to be won 

 four times before becoming the property of the winner. Con- 

 ditions of shoot'ng were: Kifle, .22 callibre ; position, off- 

 hand ; distance, at 200 and 300 yards ; targets, proportionate- 

 ly reduced for the range ; rounds, ten shots at each target ; 

 two sighting shots allowed ; rules of the N. R. A. to govern. 

 There were 10,178 shots fired in the competition for the badge. 

 This amount has seldom or never been excelled. The follow- 

 ing is a list showing the number of times the members have 

 won the badge in the competitions : W. H. Dunlap, 4£; J. 

 A. Ward, 3 ; F. H. Holton, 3 ; Thos. Fitz, 4 ; J. H. Meeker, 

 3 ; N. O'Domiell, 2s ; F. G. Fullgraff, 2; A. C. Wertele, 2; 

 Fred. Alder, 2 ; C. A. Cheever, 2 ; I. F. Duckworth, 1 ; 

 Frank Lord, 1 ; V. Daly, 1 ; S. W. Sebley, 1 ; J. B. Bly- 

 denburgh, A ; J. S. Conlin, ^. The system of handicapping 

 used in the'match is acknowledged to be the finest yet in- 

 vented. In fact the large number of winners and the close- 

 ness of their total winnings is sufficient proof. 



Ogdemburgh.—The Ogdensburgh Rifle Club has set out to 

 select a team of six to meet any other long range shooters, and 

 on the 29th nil. the last praotice for the selection was held on 

 the Oswegatchie range. The Booring was extra fine, and a 

 meeting between the Ogdensburgers and the Boston riflemen 

 ought to bring out something steep in the way of long-range 

 scores. On the practice day mentioned the scores stood i

Close of the Creedmoor Season. — The last day of the 

 season of 1878 at the Creedmoor range is set for Saturday the 

 28d,when there will occur the sixth competition fur the Rem- 

 ington prize, $300 gold, all comers, any Kemiagton Breech- 

 loading rifle within the rules, to bo loaded at the breech with 

 cartridges as furnished from factory of E. Remington & Sons, 

 which will be supplied on the ground, 900 and 1,000 yards, 

 twenty shots at each distance, no coaching or spotting nllowed. 

 Fifth competition for the Gildersleeve Medal, 200 and 500 

 yards, for members of National Guard in uniform. Four- 

 teenth competition for Turf, fi'khl and farm Challenge 

 Badge, members of N. R. A., 200 yards, any breecb-loading 

 rifle, ten shots. Tenth competition for Skirmishers' Badge, 

 members N. R. A. andN. G. 8. N. Y. iu uniform authorized 

 military rifle, ten shots from 500 to 200 yards. Trains leave 

 Hunters' Point and Brooitlyn for Queens at 10 and 11:15 A. m. 

 Returning leave Queens at 4:18 and 6:12 v. m. 



—The Board of Directors of the National Rifle Association 

 have decided that in the determination of ties the entire score 

 shall be considered in counting "outers" and "inners," in- 

 stead of the string at the longest range. 



— Another of those sad fatalities, which have no place on a 



properly conducted range, comes to us from Lansingburgh, 

 where a marker named Edward LusigDare was killed while 

 busy at his duty. The Troy Citizen's Corps was at the range 

 shooting for u. company medal. It was nearly dark when the 

 company began to shoot at the 500-yard target. Two n:en 

 fired, one immediately after the other. As soon as the first 

 man had shot, the marker got up without displaying his red 

 flag, when the bullet from the second lifle passed through the 

 wrist of the right hand and then through the pit of the 

 stomach. He lived but a few momenta. At Creedmoor the 

 markers, by wearing a pair of stout buckskin gloves, are pro- 

 tected from the possibility of a scratch, aud for five years 

 not one serious accident has occurred. 1 here is a perfectly 

 safe butt construction, aud none other should be tolerated. 



New Jersbt — Brinton Range— -With a cold, raw wind the 

 31st contest for the Kemington Kifle was hurried through on 

 the 9th inst. The distance covered was 200 yards, any rifle,

VmursiA— Richmond.— The annual match of the Deutsche 

 Schuetzen GeseUschaft took place on the James Uiver Brew- 

 ery Park on the afternoon of the 7th. There was an extra 

 large attendance of Bhooters, and, with close competition, the 

 winning score was a very high one. Lath aspirant for the 

 honors of kingship fired ; five shots at a ring target, making 

 a possible 250. Chas. P. Stokes, with a score of 220, was 

 the champion of the day.and was crowned " Shooting IviDg" 

 and presented with the magnificent gold badge. He also 

 takes the society's string of medals, which he keeps until 

 some other member, at some future annual meeting, is able 

 to beat him. After all had supped bountifully and speeches 

 were made by the talking men, the meeting adjourned. A 

 committee was appointed to make arrangements tor a "grand 

 shoot," to take place in December, open to all comers. Mr. 

 Stokes' score is the best ever made in any previous contest 

 on this range. 



Miohioan. — The new rifles of the Michigan State Troops
