FOREST AND STREAM. 



[August 13. 1880. 



The Halford-Hyde Match Abroad.— A very good 

 notion of the current English opinion on the recent 

 scrub match between English and American eights 

 at Wimbledon, maj^ be formed from the clippings from 

 London journals given in our rifle columns. Tlie timely 

 action of the National Rifle Association on this side the 

 water, and its consistent assertions that the American 

 squad could not be recognized as a representative body, 

 and had no authority to assume any such character, 

 had a good effect in inducing the British National Rifle 

 Association to take a similar attitude toxrard it. We 

 have failed to note that any special eiTorc was maile bj' 

 the English papers to dwell on tlie merits of American 

 rifles, and generally, in its only honest guise, as an ad- 

 vertising scheme, the match was a flat failure. There is 

 no evil, it is said, entirely unmixed with good, and we 

 will wait patiently for the kei-nel of consolation from the 

 midst of this oUa podrida of mismanagement. If it will 

 only lead to the utter stamping out of that pest of rifle 

 shooting, the professional— as illustrated in the person of 

 the American team manager in the disgrace of July 'Mth 

 — the match would have been a grand and dazzUiig suc- 

 cess, and none will regret to see a hyde tanned in its owii 

 pickle. 



Engush Views of the HYDE-HAt-FORu Match The Lou- 

 don exchanges of the 26th ult. bring the comments of (he Enarlish 

 press on the fiasco of the 24th at Wimbledon, and it can hardly be 

 said that Hyde's advertising intentions were very fully realized 

 on that side the ocean any more than on this side. 



Some of the papers comprehend the insignificant character of 

 the match, while others persist in styling it an international af- 

 fair. The Echo says: "On Saturday the great long-range match 

 with any rirtes»iet«een Sir H. Halford'sBritisl: team and Mr. F. 

 Hyde's American team was contested. The contcndirjjf teams 

 ■ were not rccofe^nized as national representative teams, but simply 

 as the teams of individuals. The best men, however, that the 

 countries could produce competed, armed with the most hisfhjy 

 finished and accurate weapons." 



The Pad Mall Gazette devotes two lines to a report of the match, 

 saying- : " The international match betwctn the British and Amer- 

 ican teams was shot earlier in the day, and was won tiy the liritish 

 by 79 points." 



The Times' report of the match says of it: ''The great long- 

 range match with any rifles between Sir H.Haltord'B British team 

 and Mr. F. Hyde's American team was shot on Saturday. It has 

 been specially announced that the contending teams are not 

 recognized as nationalrepresentative teams, but merely as teains 

 of individuals. No such announcement, however, could deprive 

 the match of its interesting character, it being shot by the best 

 men that the respective countries can produce, armed with the 

 most highly hnished and accurate weapons that are made." 



From an extended reportin the Dnfl.1; Tdemoph the following 

 is taken : ".The most interesting event on Saturdaj' was that be- 

 tween the British and the American teams at long distances, 

 though it was not officially recognized either here or across the 

 Atlantic, the men shooting simply as individuals. During the 

 meeting our American cousins had shown themselves .such adepts 

 with the small-bore rifle that had there bCL-n any formal betting 

 the odds would certainly have been in their favor, notwithstand- 

 ing the defection for private reasons of two of their Ijest shots 

 Their Hounslow form when practicing for this match, and when 

 they beat the top score for the Elcho Shield, did much to create 

 this strong feeling of confidence, t'Ut as the sequel proved, their 

 supporters had reckoned without their h<j3t. The weather, both as 

 to light and wind, was unreservedly in favor of good shooting, 

 and the British team— which, by the way, did not include a Scotch- 

 man-took full advantage of it. At the termi)Uition uf the match 

 Sir H, Halford, the captain of the Britj,«h team- to whose e.veel- 

 lent .iudgmcnt in the selection of his men the victory is due- 

 called for three cheers for the Americans, who, he meniioned, 

 had ne\'ei- lieloi'e been beaten. The demand was most heartily 

 respiinded to : and &fr. Hyde, responding to the compliment, 

 took ci-edit for having taught the British how' to beat the Ameri- 

 cans, by inducing them to adopt the breech loader in lieu of the 

 old muzzle-loader. He ex|iressed his regret at the absence of Dr. 

 CJark and Mr. Farrow, whose desertion had contributed to their 

 defeat." 



The Standard comprehends the situation very clearly when It 

 says: " But for the first time in its history the closing day wit- 

 nessed a great rifle match between teams of eight men rcspee- 

 ti\ ely, representing Great Britain and America Although it was 

 originally announced that this was to be considered as an inter- 

 national contest, the ICatiohal Eifle Association of America de- 

 clined to consider the gentlemen visiting England as a lepre- 

 sentative team, and it therefore simply resolved itself into a 

 match between "Eights" of America and the United Kingdom, 

 selected by their elected captains, fJen. Hawley (V; and Col. Sir 

 Henry Halford. The conditions were the same as for the Elcho 

 Challenge Shield, viz., 1.5 shots each at SCKI, 9«i and 1,01X1 yards. 

 Through some misunderstanding .imoug the American riflemen 

 Mr. Itockweil was substituted in the team for Mr. FaiTOw, and, 

 owing to a breakdown with bis rifle, which had to be changed at 

 nOO yards, this gentleman made ii \erv low score." 



The Keivf. speaking of the cootest, ?ays ; "Of the two Mmpe- 

 titions to which all the shooting was on Saturday confined, chief 

 interest naturally centered in the international match. There 

 was much curiosity to see whether the Americans would be able 

 to rival the wonderful score tln-y had made at Houndslow on 

 Thursday, and great au.viety to insure accuracy of marking. To 

 this end the Council had consented, on the requisition of the Brit- 

 ish team, to allow the presence of two strangers in the butts, 

 charged with the duty of watching and verifying every shot on 

 behalf of the Americans, whose captain had, however, declared 

 that he considered such a precaution quite unnecessary. They 

 commenced the match at 810 yards about 10:30, under 

 perfectly favorable conditions of wind and light. At the very 

 first round the British began to draw away, ami were never after- 

 wards caught, although the Americans struggled hard to reduce 

 the lead. In justice to them it must be said that they were 

 heavily handicapped by the defection of one of their team and 

 the noii-ap|iearance of a famous marksman ou whose presence 

 they had relied. The reserves had to be called up, and though 

 one of them shot very steadily, the other yielded to the strain of 

 a position that might try the nerves of many a good man. The 

 British, on the contrary, was probably the strongest tevm ever 

 brought together in this country. Their shooting' at the first 



range was Bimply superb. At the coo elusion ol the match Sir 



Henry Halford asked his team to give three cheers for the Amen 

 cans, over whom they had never c.Ypeeted to gain such a CTCtoiy 

 In reply, Mr. Hyde. v,'ho acted as captain in Gen, Hawle\ ^ ab 

 sence, said he claimed the victory for the Amerirau.s, im much 

 as they had taught Englishmen to discard the muzzle-loader and 

 taketo thebreech-hiuder, and also not to dej.cud on indi\ iduil 

 merit, but to strive altogether wilh one object in view. Alter a 

 cordial interchange of cheering the teams separated."
