Od Saturday the 17th the range was crowded again and one 

 of the most charming of spring days blessed the marksmen. 

 The wind-dial indicated 9 to 10 o'clock upon its face, light 

 fleecy clouds obstructed the sun just enough to present a 

 capital light and prevent auy mirage from troubling the happy 

 riflemen. At 12 o'clock the Winchester match was called

A feature of this day's sport was the shooting of a tele- 

 graphic match with the Denver Rifle Club of Colorado. The 

 challenge had been received early iu the month from the 

 Denver boys. 



The conditions of this match called for ten men to shoot 

 ten rounds at 200 yards and 500 yards, oft' hand at 200, and 

 any position at 500 yards, the five best scores at both ranges 

 to be given. Mr. Vining of the Medford Club acted as um- 

 pire for the Denver men. The weather conditions at the 

 time of opening were capital, but for some reason the men 

 did not shoot up to their standard; in fact, better shooting 

 is done on all match days. At the 200 yards firing point, 

 Captain Jackson, however, was shooting in good form and 

 scored a capital 47 out of a possible 50. At 500 yards the 

 riflemen expenienced a shifting wind, going from 9 o'clock to 

 5, and becoming " fish tail" and blowing down the range ; 

 light and shadows affected elevations, keeping the men busy. 

 All retired with 49 each out of a possible 50. Below is the 

 scores at both ranges : 



200 yards.
