Creedmoor— Saturday was a gala day at Creedmoor, 

 two matches being on the tapis, and the fair weather at- 

 tracted a large number of long-range marksmen. Four 

 members of the Australian team, Messrs. Greo. Slade, Capt. 

 Smith, and Lieut. Maddocks were present, the first three 

 named participating in the match, Mr. Slade winning 

 second position. The first event was the match for the 

 Geiger bullseye badge, the conditions of which called for 

 20 shots to be fired first at the 1,000 yards range, 15 at 900, 

 and 10 at 800, the winning score being determined by the 

 largest number of bullseyes out of a possible 45. Mr. G. 

 L. Morse shot remarkably well, running up a long string 

 of bullseyes at the first range. Mr. Wm. Hayes, the cele- 

 brated off hand marksman, has taken up long-range shoot- 

 ing and participated in this match. The scores of those 

 who finished the match were as follows:

The second match was the second competition for the 

 Schuyler, Hartley & Graham badge, for rapidity and ac- 

 curacy of firing. There were eight competitors, each of 

 whom was allowed two trials of half a minute each. The 

 winner of the trophy fired after it was supposed that the 

 match was closed, and Mr. Lloyd entered a protest against 

 his shooting, which will receive consideration fiorn the 

 Executive Committee of the National Rifle Association 

 herealter. The following table shows the result:

On "Wednesday some of the Australian riflemen now 

 here visited Creedmoor and fired a few shots. They say 

 that the atmospheric condition at Creedmoor requires *a 

 marked lowering of elevation as compared with the Sydney 

 ranges. On Wednesday the scores were: Rathbone, 202; 



who won a place on the team, but who was not on hand at 

 the team practice, has been dropped from the team. It is, 

 therefore, necessary that a rifleman who desires to shoot 

 on the team, and is entitled to be placed thereon, must 

 come to Ntw York and remain for a couple of months to 

 the neglect of his business. Such being the case, it can 

 readily be understood why it is no object for any riflemen 

 out of New York to compete in these matches, and the 

 farce of sending them invitations should in future be 

 abandoned. 



The Australian Riflemen.— We have already noticed 

 the fact that the gentlemen belonging to the Australian 

 team have frequently visited the Creedmoor range. On 

 Wednesday, of last week, they indulged in some practice, 

 making the following scores:

The Australians shot with Rigby muzzle-loading rifles 

 using 90 grains of powder and 434 of lead. The position 

 they adopt is the "Farquerson," with feet towards the 

 target, and the vernier scale fixed on the rifle near the heel 

 of the but. 



—Thursday evening, September 15th, has been appointed 

 for the banquet to be given by the Nation ai Rifle Associa- 

 tion at the close of the International prize matches.

 ciated.

—The Singer Rifle Association of Elizabeth, N. J., have 

 been practicing at the targets, and are now ready to start a 

 match with a team from any manufacturing company 

 within a -radius of one hundred miles from Elizabeth, 

 under the rules of the National Rifle Association. The 

 Secretary of the Club is Mr. J. E. Spencer, of Elizabelh- 

 port, N. J. 



—The Bay View Rifle Range, of Buffalo, was formally 

 opened last Wednesday by Major Gen. R. L. Howard, 

 commanding the Eighth Division. Among the notabilities 

 present at the ceremony were Inspector Gen. John B. 

 Woodward, of this city; Major Gen. Iienrv Brinker, of 

 Rochester; Brig. Gens. W. P. Rogers, Thirty" first Brigade, 

 and W. H. Briggs, Twenty-fifth Brigade; Cols. George A. 

 Bogy, Fifty-fourth Regiment; Louis M.Evans, Seventy- 

 fourth Regiment; Richard Flach, Sixty-fifth Regiment, 

 and others. Gen. Woodward expressed "the opinion that 

 the new range would compare favorably with that at Creed- 

 moor, Long Island. 



Massachusetts.— The Remington rifle presented by the 

 manufacturers to shoot for by members of the Massa- 

 chusetts Rifle Association, was finally won by Mr. Jackson, 

 on the 15th inst. The members had previously shot for 

 positions in the three classes in which they were placed, 

 each winner having to hold bis position as first in the class 

 in three competitions. The prize match was. therefore, 

 between three members, the distance being 200 yards, off- 

 hand . The following scores show the result, according to 

 rUa^auehusetts style of counting: 11 and 12 are equal to 

 5, or a bullseye at Creedmoor; 7, S, 9 and 10 equal 4, or 

 minus.

Another New Club. — The rifle is gaining ground in 

 California. Last week a club was organized at Oakland, 

 opposite San Francisco. The Board of Directors com- 

 prises the following gentlemen: Mayor E. H. Pardee, 

 Major Gen. George R. Vernon, George D. Metcalf, E. J. 

 Webster, and Major S. I. Kellogg, Jr. The following offi- 

 cers were chosen for the ensuing year: President, E. H. 

 Pardee; Vice-President and Treasurer, Major S. I. Kellogg, 

 Jr. ; Secretary, George D. Metcalf. Major Kellogg was for 

 a long time connected with the Twenty -third Regiment, 

 Brooklyn, as Captain of Companv A. The Club as soon 

 as fairly organized will, it is said, affiliate with the Na- 

 tional Rifle Association, and its matches will be governed 

 by the rules of that body. The Mayor of Oakland has 

 long taken an active interest in rifle shooting, and is rep- 

 resented to be an expert shot. His latest feat was the 

 record of 63 out of a possible 75 points, at 1,000 yards dis- 

 tance.
