On the 30th the Brocton men went to Walpole and enjoyed 

 a thorough defeat at the hands of the Walpole experts, and a 

 pleasant dinner and reunion after. The day was all that 

 could be desired, the atmosphere clear, and the wind from 

 2 to 4 o'clock, requiring about six to eight points. The misses 

 in R. S. Gray's score were the result of a break in the wind- 

 gauge. At the conclusion of the match both clubs adjourned 

 to the club room at Mr. W. H. Pray's, where a bountiful re- 

 past was partaken of, and pleasant remarks were made by 

 several members. The following score tells the whole story :

 Mansfield Guard of Middletown, on the same day, teams of 

 eight men each, at 200 and 500 yards, the total scores were 

 a lie on 274. The Light Guard team, however, claimed to 

 have won under the Creedmoor rules, they having made 

 the least number of misses. 



New Haven, Nov. 28. — The attendance to-day at Quinnipiac 

 Range was not large.owing probably to the threatening weather 

 and the many other attractions in tow T n. There were four 

 matches shot, all subscription matches, one-hulf of the receipts 

 going as prizes to those making the higher score. The wind 

 during the day was strong and variable. Mr. J. J. Sweeney, 

 of the Winchester Armory, used the " Hotchkiss " rifle, the 

 magazine gun lately adopted by the United States Govern- 

 ment, andrnade the best score of the day. It was the first 

 time this rifle had been used on the range. A few" of the 

 leading scores were : 



200 yds., military, 7 shots: J. J. Sweeney, 33; R. M. 

 Walker, 30 ; F. J. Colvin, 29 j E. C. Spencer, 28 ; P. O'Con- 

 nor, 27 ; William F. Murphy, 2G ; E. P. Bush, 20 : S. R.

New York— Troy.— Thanksgiving Day dawned sombre 

 and thraatening, but, nothing daunted, several members of 

 the Trojan Rifle Club repaired to a small adjacent hamlet 

 (Melrose) situated on the line of the Troy and Boston R. R., 

 for the purpose of participating in the festivities of a turkey 

 shoot. Our turkey was a 10-inch bull's-eye at 80 rods, off 

 hand, and 100 rods at rest, at eight cents per shot. Eight of 

 the Trojans bagged 64 fine birds in 614 shots, 22 were taken 

 at rest and 42 at off hand. Considering the darkness of the 

 day and other minor difficulties, these were gratifying results.

Illinois — Chicago, Dec. 1.— The Bergen Point Rifle club, 

 of N. J., has intimated a desire for a midrangc match with 

 either the Lake View Club or that of George H. Thomas Post. 

 It will be impossible for the Thomas Post Club to accept the 

 match at present, as their range is not yet in a condition to 

 admit of practice. I have no doubt but that the Lake View 

 Club will gladly accept a challenge from their New Jersey 

 brethren. Two members of the Thomas Post Club also be- 

 long to the Lake View Club— Chenoweth and Drury— but it 



is in some doubt whether they can win a position on the Lake 

 View team, as will be seeu by the following score made on 

 the 16th inst.:

The gallery rifle club of Post 88, a new aud ambitious 

 organization, the members of wtuch have made clean scores 

 enough to paper a church with 50 point targets, has challenged 

 the Thomas Post Club to shout n 25-yard match for the short- 

 range championship of the U. S. The Thomas boys will 

 shoot a match with Post 28 on the 30th inst. if that, is satis- 

 i! ' i . to Hie challengers. 'Ihey do not propose to relinquish 

 the championship to less score than 4G0 for a team of teu, aud 

 when they do have to surrender it they most sincerely hope 

 that it will be into the hands of the gentlemen from whom 

 they received it— the Blydenbuighs, Sone, Howlett, Conlin, 

 Dunlap, Alder, Sibley, Fitz and llokon. 



At Mr. Peck's gallery, corner Madison and Halstead streets, 

 a club has recently been organized, and from the opening 

 scores made there is every chance of fine work from It.
