range from the I'urzo bushes wbioU had been set on fire. This 

 etopped all firing- for a lime. My impression is that the stiiti: had 

 been iirod bj- some one who wanted the Irish to win, ;iriu I liuuu-hi 

 that the haze of a smoky atmosphere would favor thein and 

 baflleu?. The bunilse was too heavy, however, and all weJO com- 

 pelled Ui s'jfpini I ir awhile. 



" Wli.;.n wf- sill .t un Saturday before the match and got an aver- 

 of au, I ihought that would win and did not look for the biar 

 record of the mat<jh. 



" The New Bigby is very like our new Hepburn rifle, but heavier 

 in the brccoh mechanism. They have adopted our slow-burning- 

 powder in place of their quick Curtis & IXarvey. They have 

 taken our cartridges and our riflo in all essential points. They 

 can do the very best of work with them, and we havo got to work 

 very hard if we o.vpoct to hold our own any more. 



"The Irishmen took their defeat courteously, and said they 

 would (ret a team over hero nest year, either to compete for 

 the Palma, which ihey havo not g-iven up, or for this same match 

 ag-ain. 



" t hear there has boon much ill fecUngr about Jackson beinsr 

 put on the reserve, but Jackson was left off on his record. He 

 had not been shooting well before he left, and be did not shoot 

 steadily after we reached Ireland. Ho was left out on that ac- 

 count only." 



When the Hyde fiasco was mentioned Col. Dodine said : " I want 

 to say as little as possible resrarding that unfortunate Wimbledon 

 affair. The matter is already pretty well understood by the 

 puMie. I endeavored by all the means in my power to prevent 

 Ihp match (jonuijg- oil, and told the rcrraclory memtiprsnC my 

 team that I slmuld leave before it would come olT, mijethcr with 

 lho.se of my original six who mig-ht bo ready to sail with mo. I 

 did not want to indorse the match even by my presence in Eng- 

 land. However, Furrow and Jackson would not listen to my ad- 

 vice, and finally left me, after which 1 had nothing further to do 

 with them . 



" I very much regret the Hyde affair. I did not hold any com- 

 munication with him while I was away, and carried out what 1 

 considered to be the feeling- of the American National Rifle A.=- 

 EoeiaUon toward him and hi.s match, T am g-Iad I was present to 

 let the Englishmen know Just what -,va.s thought of Hyde and his 

 doings on this side of the water. Ho and Hultord seemed t3 have 

 an infatuation ui pushing on that match. They had induced the 

 N. R. A. of Great Britain to show it special honors by putting il 

 on their programme as an 'international match.' I wrote to 

 Eavl Stanhope, who sueot-ed.^d Lord Eicho as President of the 

 British N. H. A., and received a very courteous reply, in which 

 whatever of recogniliou the mau'a bad received from the British 

 N. H. A. was taken from it. I was an.xloua to avoid the breach 

 which would havo taken place between the two associations if 

 one had persisted in lending its countonaoce to a match which 

 the other had repttdiated. I think now it is pretty well 

 understood that it was nothing more than a scrub affair, and 

 ■while the Eaijli.* team shot in flue shape the Hyde team were in 

 no shape to meet thetu and invited the defeat which thoy suf- 

 fered. 1 had left Wimbledon and was on my way back when tlus 

 seratoh match was fought, as I did not wish to give it e\-en the 

 countenance of my presence. I am very sorry that it should 

 have happened, and think that the English riflemen and the as- 

 sociation jvili be more careful in future about associating with 

 irresponsible marksmen who wish to got up matches to any pur- 

 pose." 



Col. Bodlnehadabit of a trouble at the Custom House, and 

 Col. Clark's riflo wag seized through some misunderstanding with 

 the customs oflicers.

 proposed and duly elected a member of the BrookijTi Archery

 dlnghaus in our midst, that the interest in archery will be 

 greatly increased at the E.ist, and, at the next grand annual 

 tournament, to be held at Prospect Park in 18S1, may the scores 

 of our Eastern Archers compare favorably w-ith the toxopholites 

 of the West.
