Frogmook, New Orleans, July ll.—I send you below the 

 champion score of the world, made by an individual and a 

 team of six. At a meeting of the Governing Committee, of 



H i v. ici n(. Citv liiflc Club. July 6, it was resolved to select. 

 team ol sis o shoo! for the bronze medal of theN. R. A., 



... ;,; ,, ,.,i acore to win ; also that the same six shoot against 

 the highest score, on record of six men, which is that of the 

 Trish and Scotch on the flrsl day of the last international match. 

 Tlie; day appointed was July 10, 3:30 r\ it. ' The day opened 

 b "ml .i'fiiliy for the match, and had we commenced at two 

 O'clock, or it Mr. Eyrich bad made his usual average, the 

 tot*l would have been increased about 30 points ; but his first, 



:■.,, hi , OHO yards, being shown up in the bottom corner oi 

 the target, almost upset hi.u in finishing Ins score. The shoot- 

 ina throughout was magnificent, Arms and Eyrich opening 

 with fourteen bull's-eyes at 800 yards, Mr. Selph making four- 

 teen consecutive at 900 yards, and making a run of twenty- 

 one consecutive bull's-eyes, and a total score of 219, the team 

 making l 314, winning the team match by twelve points. At, 

 the 900-yards range the wind was troublesome, but was more 

 favorable at 1,000. During the shooting the wind varied 

 from 12 to on the dial. The following are the scores ;
