Columbia Rifle B*.noe.— West End,, July 7.— A meeting 

 of the Columbia Rifle Association was held at Columbia 

 Range this morning, at whichaboardof directors was elected 

 for the ensuing six mouths. The newly elected directors are: 

 Col. B. F. Hart, Col. E. P. C. Lewis, Col. Braine, Senator 

 Rabe, Capt. Anderson, John Kennell and S. Parish. Col. 

 Lewis was re-elected President, and Major Henry Fulton 

 Superintendent of shooting and Executive Officer. The at- 

 tendance at the range this afternoon was fair. Two matches 

 —the Sharps Rifle Match and a match for teams for a purse 

 of $50 — were on the programme, but the former only was 

 filled, the marksmen feeling delicate about trying their skill 

 against the New York Amateur Rifle Club, which has won in 

 all former competitions. In the rifle match there were 16 en- 

 tries and re-entries. The conditions were 500 yards, 10 shots, 

 weapon, any rifle; any position; match or sporting rifles to 

 allow military rifleB 5 points ; rifle and 20 per cent, of en- 

 trance money to first man ; 15 per cent, to second man ; 10 

 per cent, to third man, and 5 per cent, to fourth man. Tne 

 rifle was won by R. Rathbone with a score of 50 out of a pos- 

 sible 50 Or. Dudley, in three entries, made the extraordi- 

 nary score of 147 out of a possible 150. The highest scores 

 were as follows ;

W v^ungton, D. 0.— The announced match for a valuable 

 badge, presented by Mr. A'. A. Adee, came off at Banning 

 range on the Fourth of July, and had the usual bad luck of a 



scorching, blustery day. In fact the spiteful treatment of tht 

 Columbia Rifle Association by the weather thus far this sea- 

 son has passed into a AVashinglon proverb. Witt 

 mometer at 102 deg., a brisk fish-tail wind that blew blankets 

 and score-books off the platforms, and a feeble sprinkling aj 

 the last range from the edge of a passing storm that whirled 

 the wind around lo a twelve o'clock gale, the sci 

 need no apology— but the weather certainly owes the club 

 one, A number of visitor?, ladies among them, braved the 

 heat to witness the match, but only a few shots 

 enough to light tho thermometer and the anemometer as well 

 as the target, Mr. Adee, not choosing to enter for lus.o'an 

 badge, was invited to join the shoot in a Pickwickian sense, 

 and managed to hold his own at the first stage. On opening 

 at 1,000 yards, the first few rounds looked bad lor even pass- 

 able scores, only a dozen bull's-eyes being made by the nine 

 contestants. The wind shifting a point or two, steady work 

 was begun on the fifth round, when Burnside, the two Sootts, 

 Canfield, Coulsen and Adee got on successfully, and for the 

 remainder of that stage the shooting was exceptionally good. 

 Partello settled down to his work on the sixth round, and 

 brought up the white nearly every time thereafter. On count- 

 ing up, Dr. Scott, Partello and Adee. led with totals Of GO 

 each. Col. Burnside following with 67 and Laird with 05. 

 Moving back to 1,100 yards the shooting began fairly, but the 

 wind again freshed and twisted and disconcerted ad calcula- 

 tions. Walter Seott here came to the fore with an admirable 

 63, for which he had to work hard, while Col, Burnside 

 pressed him close with 01, and Laird got a creditable 59, with 

 Dr. Scott next on a tally of 58. The others all fell into serious 

 difficulties, and Lauritzen withdrew. The sky now grew 

 overcast, and a violent thunder-storm seemed imminent, but 

 only the extreme eud of tho whirl struck Bennings as the fir- 

 ing began at 1,200 yards, and made things lively for the 

 marksmen. Partello got involved in " unaccountables," and 

 after running up five of them, withdrew from a contest which 

 had opened most promisingly for him. Mr. Canfield and Dr. 

 Coulson followed him and packed up their guns. The others 

 held on, although for all but Col. Burnside and Dr. Scott the 

 fight was hopeless. The Doctor began badly with outers and 

 mags, but pulled together at the last. He was, however, 

 beaten by Col. Burnside, who made the top score at this ex- 

 treme range, and with it and his lead of one point at the first 

 two stages won the match and the badge by the very passable 

 aggregate of 187. The following are the scores, as far as 

 completed :

 competitions until the end of October, the three highest scores 

 of each compstitor to be aggregated and compared, and the 

 leading grand total to win.

EXPRESS RIFLES IN INDIA. 



An officer of the Bengal Staff Corps contributes the following 

 on the matter of Express bullets and methods of stopping large 

 game. It will be read with interest as coming from one 

 familiar with the use of this class of arms, where their em- 

 ployment is a matter of vital consequence on many occa 

 sions: 

 Editor Fobhst and Stheam : 



Sir— In your issue of the 17th of April there is a letter 

 signed " Sunny South." His remarks on large bore spherical 

 ball rifles are somewhat out of date as far as India is concern- 

 ed. The officer of the British army alluded to by him, the 

 late Captain Forsyth, Bengal Army, effected by his theories a 

 complete revolution in sporting rifles in India, and laid the 

 foundation of what is now known as the Express system. 



Before his time the type of sporting rifle was a poly-groove
