MaSsachcsetts— Walnut Hill Range, July 38.— .The 

 threatening weathet io-de prevented a large attendance 

 of spectators, and a considerably less number of riflenter 

 than usual were present at the tiring points. Rain fallim 

 at intervals throughout the shooting so interferred witl 

 the comfort of the marksmen that the two n 

 range matches were postponed. The light was good, but 

 the wind was execrablcholding unsteadilv to the northeast 

 during the major portion of the day, and so chilly that nc 

 pleasure could be had in fighting it. The 500-yard off- 

 band match, the only event of the day, had 11! entries,
