Canadians generally, as well as mi that of the. tlefeiishe force of 

 the country. 



Lieutenant-Colonel Kirkp'atriok. Mi B. in seconding the adoption 

 of the annual report said in regard l.j team shooting :~ 



The combination of team shooting and individual BUooting is not 

 desira-hle so long as coaching iB allowed at the liriny point, and I 

 think it would be well to do away with the system of coaching al- 

 together, and to distribute the teams so' that thev will" not 

 shoot with each other. If that is done, team shooting and indi- 

 vidual shooting may be combined, and the firing m the tesma may 

 be counted m respect of individual Bcores. 



The Governor-General, in an address, said of tin: Canadian mili- 

 tia) "Our militia annv is only an aiT.iv organized for defence. We 

 desire to bo friends with all the world, but I believe we all know 

 there ia no friendship so lasting and so wholesome as that which ia 

 founded on thorough mutual respect. We are. prepared in Canada 

 to defend the institutions which your frMi eountrv has adopted. 

 and you know well that those institutions can never' be changed by 

 any foreign will so long us von prove to all that anv attempt to 

 ehangothem would mean a long and very couth war. (Cheers ) 

 1 believe that although the Government may do'very much in the 

 way of providing and extending training schools for ollicers and 

 in seeing to the proper organization of the force, yet that indivi- 

 dual efforts are those which in the long run will best support such 

 an association a= ours. (AnplMUft ) And in the wav of individual 

 efforts nothing can be more successfully attempted than the en- 

 couragement of local and central rifle associations. We know by 

 experience from the days of Lexington until these last unfortunate 

 days when the British forces have encountered the Boers, howverv 

 ditlieult it is to beat an enemy who are individually good rifleshots. 

 1 believe that there has been' a certain amount of 'feeling that most 

 of the prizes are taken by gentlemen who are too good shots to he 

 beaten, tod perhaps it might be desirable, to spread over a greater 

 nnmber of contestant* the. rewards of their perseverance in coming 

 hero, to have a greater number of so-called nursery prizes— iu 

 short, that we may mako our rifle contests -omewhat of the nature 

 of the ladies' tennis tournament which has been proceeding during 

 the last two or three weeks, and in which T believe almost all the 

 contestants will receive at all events some prize. (Applause and 

 " hear, hear," and a laugh. 1 At the last association meeting in 

 September 1 thought one incident was of a peculiar value, and that 

 was the display made bv Sorgcaiit.-Major Oliver of his equipment, 

 which enables men to carry nearly double the number of rounds of 

 ammunition that their present equipment enables them to do. and 

 which also provides them with a spade. It might bo a question 

 also for the consideration of the Council whether it would not he 

 possible to arrange for a prize in connection with which a team 

 should in a given time, yvith light entrenching tools, entrench 

 themselves and fire subsequently at targets, for, alter all, onegreat 

 brauch noyv of the science of war seems to bo the art of rapid en- 

 trenchment. Indeed success in war seems sometimes little less 

 than a prize, which can be won by those who can attack fastest and 

 fire the most rapidly and at the same time yvith the greatest pre- 

 cision." (Cheers.) ' 



The Executive Committee was authorized to make the necessary 

 arrangements for assembling the. Wimbledon team and to fix the 

 time when they shall embark for England, and to incur the neces- 

 sary expenses for sending tke team to Wimbledon. Competitors 

 shall notify the Secretary whether t hoy can go before the 1st of 

 April next, and in the failure of sending notice the committee shall 

 be authorized to fill any vacant place; also to frame the necessary 

 instructions for the government and guidance of the ollicers and 

 men of the team. 



The prize meeting will lake place at Ottawa, commencing on the 

 nth of Septeuibor next. Captain Costiu was appointed executive 

 officer.

Aluasv — N, Y., Feb. 17. — The pleasant weather this afternoon 

 called out quite a goodlv company of riflemen to Rensselaer- 



wvek. Besides the local experts. Trov and Hudson were repre- 

 sented Once more. The first liuil.oli culled was the All Comers', in 

 which four only succeeded in getting an average of iimers or over. 

 This match was won by Dapt. Eiteh with 41 out of a possible 50, 

 At tho conclusion of the match a subscription match at 200 yards 

 was called ; thin was idso won hv dipt, Fitch with 21 points o'ut of 

 25. Two more subscription matches n ore called at 300, tho first of 

 which was won by (1. II. Charles, with ii out of 25, and the se.con. 

 by L. Geiger, with 22 out of 25. The conditions were favorable fo 

 all the competitions except the 2l)ii card mutch, the wind being ex 

 tremelv troublesome and bard to gauge. The two scores made 1 

 the subscription matches, at 300 yurdu, by G. A. Charles, wer. 

 equal to anything ever done at that range, he having a total of 4fi 

 out of 50. The following were tho scores in detail :

On Thursday the eighth cowpetiouiu the All Comers' will bo 

 called, and should the weather prove favorable, a match of 200 

 yards also. On Washington's birthday a number of riflemen 

 will visit the range for practice. 



Coslin's Shooun-o (iAi.BEnv, 1,222 Broadway.— As was antici- 

 pated, the competition for the championship of short-range pistol- 

 shootiu" at bullets was the most ekioclv-eontested niatehyet of the 

 tournament, Mr. D. A. Divis, champion of all ranges bnllel- 

 shootin", and Dr. E. T. T. Marsh, champion of word-shooting and 

 swinging objects, each made a Bcore of twelve bullets out of 

 twenty shots ; distance, ten yards. According to the conditions 

 the tie must be shot off and the competitor hitting tho largest 

 number of bullets in twenty shots to be declared the winner. The 

 shoot-off will take place at whatever time agreed on by the parties, 

 probably during this week. The gentlemen are very evenly 

 matched in skill and great interest is manifested as to who will 

 wiu Mr. Wm. 0. Sontbwiek won the o-port'ii badge, with the 

 score of eleven bullets, followed by Col. J. Dunn and D. I). Davis, 

 also tieing the score-nine bullets each. The bullets shot at are 

 three-quartern of an Inch in diuuielor. subijended In a. siring, with 

 a white background, form a very distinct murk. Mr. Conlin lirst 

 introduced build-shooting in 1871 ; since then it has always been 

 one of tho favored marks for both rifle and pistol practice. For- 

 eigners and visitors from all sections of the country, while at his 

 various galleries, have been successful in hitting a 'bullet, or else, 

 seeing some of the experts perform the feat, have taken the mark 

 away as either a proof of their skill or a memento of tin- opcajsion 

 In this wav at least a ton of the bullets have found their wav to all 

 parts of the civilized world. During the week ending February 20 

 the championship, of tack-shooting will be contested for. 



JJkw Y'ouk, Feb. 22.— Washington's Birthday was profiitablv and 

 pleasantly spent by the New York shooters in an all-comers' rifle 

 match, at Harding's Dark, aln mania, under the auspices of the 

 New York Kille Club, the conditions being 200 yards, off hand,

The New Youk If ii i ii Galiekt — The. third week's practice in

As tho read

 were made. The ridiculous handicapping rule was enforced, with 

 the following result:

 A. Mack was the winner of the 

 medal, which is a championship affair, and therefore quite beyond 

 the pale of handicapping from any reo ignized BpoitsnmnliltC point 

 by view. 1 had an interview to-day with two members of the com- 

 mittee who are ncspousiblc for this handicapping business. One 

 of them is Mr. W. J. Mason, Secretary of the association, who 

 frankly told me that he had teen enough of its unjust workines b. 

 convince him that it ought to bo abolished. Said ho : " Either 

 cense calling it a championship medal, and christen it a. handicap 

 medal, or do awav with the ruin altogelher. Mr. John E. Long, 

 who is really the father of the plan, was the other cmniuitteemnn 

 whom I interviewed. He said : " When this matter first came up 

 It was urged very strenously that the only way toget out the young 

 shooters— men who could not he expected to successfully compete 

 With some of our experts, of whom the association has main -was 

 to offer them some eveu-np inducement. As an experiment partly, 

 and partly as a eomproini.-e, I anggeated Icio capping ax the rem- 

 edy. Of course I am aware that this is a little irregular for a 

 championship medal. Personally (and it is for my interest, too),- 

 I prefer the straight way. Let every tub stand en its n iton 

 I have learned that handicapping is not altogether just to experts 

 who are set back, but when it was adopted the idea', as I said be- 

 fore, wnia to bring vouno shooters to the score. The experiment 

 has been tried ; 'it has developed some good men. If it has 

 served even that purpose it has not beau altogelher barren. I am 

 ready to support a movement to abolish the rule, and it is my 

 opinion that we shall take the bull bv the horuri at our next meet- 

 ing. At the same time m shall probably change our rules, substi- 

 tuting English rules for the plunge-trap nod twenty-six yards for 

 tame birds and adopting tho ground trap, with English rides, for 

 wild birds." 



In tho course of my talk with Secretary Mason be showed me the 

 original subscription list of the unsocial ton ami told me something* 

 of its origin. One night in 1873 a party of gent lemon were, sitting 

 in that old, familiar buck luom of John E. Long ,V Co., on tho 

 corner of Woodward avenue and Congress street, discussing vari- 

 ous matters, when the subject of a Medal Association was intro- 

 duced, it met with very gem r4— even enthusiastic -approval and 

 in three days, at odd hours, there were obtained sixty-four signa- 

 tures and the magnificent medal which, lias been the bone of so 

 much friendly contention, was orden d. 



At a glance over the list I found the names of several who have 

 since gone to the hnppv hunting grounds. Firsl on Ihe. solemn 

 roll is poor Flam Fisher, hi ntleman.Vnl l,e,:a-i. - ; . cl-man. llu 

 death ivas the onlv tragic eveul the assoeialioo has kn.nui. Atone 

 of the shoots of the association he was accompanied bv bis Idlle 

 son. Standing near the score, loaning ou bis gun. awaiting his 

 turn to come on deck, hu took his last look of earth, for at that in- 

 stant his son. in a playful mood, ran up to him and eln; i t A ban 

 around the legs. Fatal playfulness. He bore, down ou the ham- 

 mer of the. gun without knowing it ; there was a loud report, and 

 Elam Fisher dropped instantly dead in his tracks, the charge of 

 one barrel having entered his side and riddled him nil to pieces. 

 He never knew what hurt him. Olher dead of Die assooiafioi, are 

 Samuel J. Geddev, Charles L. Piipiette, won mtmnt, gentle, ge- 

 nuine aristocrat and whole-souled man. He died in Paris, the 

 "gav, glad, gorgeous city, where life is a pasture, and the only 

 reality is death." He knew how to enjoy life with reason, and be 

 was tiie man to die unmucliinglv. Peace to his memory I 



The backinii-and-iilling business methods of the' association 

 during its earlier history were not, favorable to Ihe preservation to 

 tid the 



ifltc 



\ithv 



tiou. however, I am able to name a OOnflideraUo number of the 

 medal winners. '-Lou " Hascall was the lirst man who bore it oil' 

 the field in triumph. I well remember what a matk of distinction 

 for him that day's achievement nw, and hew the wassailem made 

 merrvfor long, long hours will. I, on as the host, Then follow 

 John E. Long, Ed. Gillmaii,;j. V. D. Khhcdgc. floff. Stentou, 

 E. S. Barbour. Chariev Jewett, Frank Wherry, Henrv Penuev, 

 Jim Cauiff, Wm. C. Colbiirn, M. K. Christy and Cook Cousins, not 

 to mention our own and latest champion. Charley Mock. The 

 only man who has ever won it, three consecutive times is Ed. Gill- 

 man, but the third winning was declared off hv the Executive Com- 

 mittee under the rule that no shoot bv a, now quorum should count. 

 There was a Iremcndous kick about that, decision, but the commit- 

 tee wero inflexible, and inasmuch as there was no goinn behind the 

 returns, the inevitable was accepted r.s graciously as the circum- 

 stances would permit Had that shoot been counted in instead of 

 out, Guhiiau would now bo tlie nolo and individual owner of tin, 

 trophy. A like decision was rendered in the, case of Frank Wher- 

 ry, of'Plvmoutb. He was not morally equal to the occasion, and 

 instead of accepting judgment he wrote a savage letter to tho as- 

 sociation. The result of that single epistollury experiment was the. 

 incontinent bouncing of the experimentalist hv the ns-ociatinn.
