RANGE AND GALLERY. 



Fbadd in Scobing.— The Wimbledon aulhorltios are in trouble 

 over the discovery that tbe records as signalled from the butts do 

 not correspond with the scores made, and are still further con- 

 cerned that this ugly fact should have found its way into the 

 nevspapers. The London ijloln, in Its issue of July 2tth, speaks 

 of the trouble:— 



With regard to the Olympic, though the hands of Ihe eveon- 

 tlve have been unnecessarily forced by what the council consider 

 to have been a premature disclosure to the public, there is now 

 no reason for withholdins- a statement of the facts. Sergeant 

 Sage, Pri^•ate Runtz and Private Humphry have been acting in 

 the matter with the best of objects and for the uurpose of prov- 

 ing whether collusion between competitors ami markers, which 

 the council have considered impossible, was or was not practica- 

 ble- The facts are these: f^crgeant Sage, of the Tower Hamlets 

 Rille Volunteers, overheard a conversaiion amongst some of the 

 markers which indicated that .some improper transaeli.in was on 

 Ihe taiHK. On consulting friendly marksmen it wus decided that 

 negotiations should be opened through Mr. Sage on the one side 

 with the markers, and Mr. Hunta with the council on the other, 

 in order to put the question of collusion to a practical test. The 

 usual precautions to prevent collusion were adopted by the e.Y- 

 ecutive, but Mr. Runtzand Mr. Humphry, himself a member of 

 the council, were allowed to lire at the target to which they were 

 orlLnnallv detailed. Mr. Huutzliring the first shot. The council 

 h.'id ticun' informed beforehand that Private Runlz. would win the 

 OUinple Prl/.e, and also that his score would lie 'Iti. Yesterday, 

 when the competition took place, it was necessary to allow at least 

 7 feet for the wind, and a score of 46 out of .iO a I tlliO yards on such 

 a day with the Snider would be almost miraculous, if genuine. 

 Nothing but bullseyes and Inners were recorded, and the score 

 totalled up to the exact fljitiro agreed upon. -Iti points, the ne.vt 

 best score being only 10, an a\ erage of inners, which was made by 

 Mr. Humphry, and no doubt registered genuinelv. After the 

 close of the tiring an attempt was made to ascertain whether the 

 shots Breil hjid actually struck the target, but the paper covering 

 the target had beeu used on the previous day, and the attempt 

 failed . 



Spring rit:i.,D, Mass., Avy. sr/i— The Hod and Gun Club, of 

 Springtlcld, have returned to their long-range ground at Long 

 Meailow and have been putting the grounds In order. They meet 

 once a week for pracnce, I believe, and do some very good shoot- 

 ing.

THE CAXADLA.N RIFLEMEN. 



ON Sunday morning last, by the early morning train over the 

 Erie Road, the team of Canadian riflemen from the Victo- 

 ria Rifle Club, Hamilton, Ontario, arrived at Jersey City. They 

 were met at the Jersey City Ferry by R. H. Koene. the President 

 of the Amateur RUle Club, and Capt. L. C. Bruce, whi tscorled 

 them to the Union Square Hotel and thence to Creedmoor, where 

 thev will remain until the match is shot. The team comprises 

 Col. Gibson, Maj. Frothergill, Dr. McLaughlin, James Adam, 

 Joseph Mason, F. Schwarz, Altert Paine and William Mitchell. 

 They are a remarkably flne body of men. Col. Gibson and Dr. 

 McLaughlin being mcmljers of the Provincial Parliament. 

 Bi-v of the riflemen are to snoot in the team, and the others are 

 to act as a reserve. The s'.-lectlon was not to be made before 

 Wednesday. 



The American team in Saturday's match 4Vll] comprise L. Web- 

 ber, J.I. Allen, L. L. Hepburn, H. S. Jewell, J. H. Waters and 

 another, though the team will be chosen later in the week. The 

 Canadians have all abandoned the old-fashioued muzzle-loading 

 gun, with which they .shot the last m.^tch in this country, for 

 American breech-loaders. 



Mr. .'Vdam. speaking of his chances, said that he did not think 

 that his team stood much show of success against the team that 

 would be pitted against them. "In IST3."sai'l he, ■■ we came here 

 to give the American riflemen a lesson, and now we have come 

 over to receive one." Mr. Adam is the gentleman who won the 

 flrst gold medal ever shot for at Creedmoor at long distanco 

 ranges. The other members of the visiting team do not hesitate 

 to acknowledge the present superior shooting of the American 

 marksmen. Messrs. John Harvey, Joseph Simpson, the son at 

 Senator Hope, F. F. Dolly and Alderman John Crear have ac- 

 companied the Canadian team from Toronto. John Harvey will 

 captain the Canadian team, and Richard H. Keene the American 

 team. 



The visitors have come down to win, and will shoot each dayJ 

 taking only Thursday for a run to Coney Island for a dinner given 

 by the .\mateur Club. The match is the third of a series between 

 the two clubs. The Canadians were bealen at Creedmoor, Sept 

 35th, 1875. Ihen, after the Centennial match, in which Canada 

 also appeared, the Amateurs visited Tororto, and returned good 

 for good by giving their hosts a good defeat after a hearty recep- 

 tion. Tbe present match is the seiiuence of the others, and a 

 close tussle is looked for. 



On Monday, in accordance with previous arrangements, the 

 Canadian rifle team went before the butts early for their first 

 practice. They could not have desired more favorable weather 

 fur shooting. It was not intended that the several members of 

 the team would shoot full scores at each of the ranges, but rather 

 that the men should commence the week's practice, which is to 

 culminate in Saturday's match, by getting the approximate ele- 

 vations at the several distances and working themselves info 

 form. The practice was, therefore, of a desultory nature, but it 

 proved to be quite satisfactory. lieut.-Col. J. Vir. Gibson, oC the 

 Thirteenth battalion, who is the leading shooter of the team, 

 made 33 out of a possible 35 at 80O yards, and at iXIO yards he made 

 7 consecutive bullseyes— that is, 35 points out of aS. Mr. 

 William Mitchell recorded 33 out of 35 at each of the 800 and 900 

 yard ranges. Mr. Albeit Paine perfoimed the creditable feat of 

 patting up 72 out of 75 points at LCtO jards. At the same ron^e 

 Mr. Frederick Schwarz made 67 points, Lit ut. J. Acam 87 and 

 Mr. JUteheU 86.
