\i th it p ni thp Ameiicins led tile soores hr J3 points, and 

 weu [) ints ibead of the scoi e made hj the American team at 

 t) ill} mount, as Capt Keene exilltingly exclaimed to his men at 

 the linu-h. 



At 11:311 theopeninK shots were flrcd at llOO yards. The Cana- 

 dians oiipiifiil badly, making only I buUseye. while the Ameri- 

 cans iii:nip :;. Thty i-:ipidly addud to their lead as the bright sun- 

 light gin e way to a dull gray lisrht, the sign of a s.iuall or rain, 

 nefore halt a dozen rouuds had butn flreil, the rain eame down in 

 "torrents, obscuring the targets and fiiinptlling tlio mtn to huddle 

 UQller caav.'is. After 10 luinuits the pelting rain coased. The 

 wind had shifted down to the 7 o'clock tiuarior, the temperature 

 had fallen and it was necessary for the men to recalculate their 

 elevations and windage. For a time the breeze came sharply and 

 III trusts, but the sun was soon out again. It became generally a 

 day r.f mixed conditions, and it reijuired all the watchfulness of 

 llie coaelie3 at the Amerieaii targets to keep track of the elements. 

 The (Jtinadiuns failed to grasp those conditions except in an indi- 

 vidual way, and except In the case ol Pain there v/as a general 

 break in their scores. "Inners'or " ihrees " l>ecntiie very com- 

 moQ, and the visiiorsin one case got au " oulpr," llie black disk 

 coming up after one of Dr. McLaughlin's shots, to show that the 

 bullet badbit one of the wings; of the target. It was ilie onlv- 

 "outer" made In the .540 shots tired during the day, and showed 

 1 hat the bullet nit at least ]8 inches from the oh.iect aimed at. 

 The Canadians gave no sign that thev were in the least put out 

 by theirlosing tiattlc, liutwcnt onsbcoiing to the end with the 

 quiet eonfldeuce of old rifle shots as they are. Tlie m\ yard scores 

 had been 431) for the Americans against i;;T S«i- the Canadian:-, oui 

 Of the possible 4S0. At '.m yards the toials were 4ij7 for the t'ana- 

 diiuiaud 4lt! for the home team, which added 'i niore iiuinls to the 

 load at the Hrst range, and made it in all 31 points on lotais of h.75 

 and 834 in the possible tlOO. 



Up to this lime and all through the match there was nut at any 

 time Ihu least point of dispute between the teams, and this match 

 waa without referee to a purpose. The licst of feelin^i , which had 

 marked the intercourse of tho two teams during the weelv bet.. re 

 the match, cont'mued during the contest aiid up to Ihc moment 

 ot tho dcparturn of tho visiting team for home. 



Wiih the conclusion of the SOO yards shootingat 12:30 the teams 

 went to lunch at tho club-house on the range, while the targets 

 wore given new coats of blade and white. The teams .sat down 

 to lunch together and pa-ssed a very agreeable hour, not, how- 

 over, forgetting to exercise that frugality of diet essential to 

 leaving the marksman's eye clear and his hand steady. The Ca- 

 nadians liai not wish to encounter another shower, which seemed 

 imminent, and at 1:15 theshootiug at the last range was opened 

 With tour "centers" on the Canadian side and two on the Ameri- 

 ;r.an side, flopburn on his second shot astonished himself and his 

 -side by amiss. It was the hrst of the match, and was due to 

 using too small an aperture in his sight. This blurred the target 

 in tho gray light then prevailine, and the bullet went over it into 

 the b:auk. Hepburn quickly recovered, and made a good score at 

 thodlstance, notwithstanding this mishap. The Amerioan shoot- 

 ing at the I'jngpsi, range was very good, including onlj' three "iii- 

 uers' 111 ihe nmoty shots Allen on his fourteenth shot Bcoreda 

 "Miist" uiiaeeountuMy, and attribuieil It to a bullet pressed too 

 far into the cartridge sliell. These two misses brought Messrs. 

 Alien and Hepburn into a tie for lowest place in the American 

 score. Waters oame out ahead, having from tho start relied im- 

 TJlicilly on thejudgmcnt of Col. Clark, the coach at his target. 

 The 418 total at the range showed that the home team had shot 

 belter of tei' luncheon than before. The Canadians were slipping 

 lincb further and fu rther, and not one of them at the lost range 



got into the seventies. No less than nine "Inners" were made, 

 and Pain, who had every prospect of loading his team, in tho 

 haste or nring off tho last shot for his side sent it off the targtt 

 in(n the bank and scored the onlj miss foi his team making in 

 all thife foi Ihc entuoinjtch He was very gret1l> ^e■v.td over 

 his mfsln|-

This last match was brought about by correspondence between 

 the otEcera of the Amateur Hide Club of this city and the olficers 

 of the Victoria Rille Club of Hamilton, Ont. These two clubs are 

 known as the crack small-bore clubs of the United States and the 

 Dominion. The Canadians have been able to bold their own well 

 at Wimbledon and other British ranges, and have fre(4ucntly 

 beaten tljc ejiport shots of the mother country . The lirst Ameri- 

 can-Canadian match in 1875 grew out of B ohailenge from tho 

 Victoria Club. Tl>o Gtidereleeve team bad Just retarned from 



Ireland, and the Canadians were anxious to meet them. But a 

 junior Ameiiean team was pitted against the Canadians at Creed- 

 moor, and won by a score of 1,400 to 1,384. 



In 1878 the •Vmcricans met their friends from over the border 

 again at the Ctntpnnial ni itth The jvncikan totals were 157V

 markers being kept in ignorance from gunflri to gunflrcas to tlie 

 targets to which they would be appointed, and further, by turn- 

 ing the men about whilst they were actually in the butts. This 

 might involve some trifling delay, and some additional trouble: 

 but such considerations are of no account when tho honor of an 

 association which has been permitted to call itself "National" 

 ig at stake.

EANGE AND GALLERY. 



BosTpK, Masx; -Ajitg. 14t?i.— There was a good attendance at 

 WalnntHillHange. Saturday, and some IJO entries wore made in 

 theMasEaehusettsand Creedmnor matehes. A stiuad of the Shaw- 

 Guards (colored) were on the ground and did some fine shooting. 

 During the entire day the sun did not shine, consequently a per- 

 fect light prevailed of the gray species, so much wished for by
