Br/.— There was one dog entered in the Association Stakes, 

 at the Pennsylvania Field Trials, which we should have 

 liked to see run, and that was Mr. J. L. Mcintosh's very liand- 

 some red .setter dog, Biz. The owner kindly gave us an op- 

 portunity of seeirig the dog range and quarter, and we must 

 say that he performed his work to perfection. Biz was 

 broken by Mr. Chubb, of Cleveland, Ohio, and is out of Flora 

 by Dash, first prize winner's each at New York Dog Show, 

 1878.

 We fail to cpo wherein 

 icd an act which should merit such

 that the great executive committee

 IS of riflemen in every part of the 

 it do this, it fails to perform the duty 

 d— that of spreading tlie art of rille shoot- 

 ing .all over this country. This asFocialion, we iue afraid, has 

 within the last two years fallen into the hands of certain rille shota 

 who are more alert to cutout the so-cnlled " profcsHional" than 

 they were ui 1876 or 1878. We also boheve that this resolntion is 

 of a personal character. Well, if it is, the law-midiers of tlie N. R. 

 A. are fixing on very poor priiiciples to work out their own ends. 

 How are they to change prizes that are now marked "All-comers 

 Prize?" Professional rifle shootuig is a very sinall matter, and 

 one which could have Uved, and will five, and never for one nc- 

 ment hava or will interfere with the best interests of the N. B. A. 

 Now, we would Uke to have it explained to us why 11 e Massa- 

 chusetts Bifle Association could not make up a representative team 

 of American i-iflcmen, and compete with England or Ij-eland, and 

 have as much a national charai'ter as any team fonnexl by the N. 

 E. A.'? Yet this new resolution says: "And amateurs only shall 

 be allowed to serve, or to compete for places, npon any American 

 Inter-State or International rifle teams to be organized by this aa- 

 aociatioiu" We believe the N. E. K, has taken a great resjionsibility 

 on their shoulders and it may result in some bard work in getting 

 it off. We believe it would have been wiser to have left this matter 

 alone. You cannot make the distinction between the one and the 

 other clear enough to warrant the Boundness of snrh a resolntion. 

 We hope through your valuable paper will come (.rotests from 

 every rifleman with as much or more vigor than the thanks liftve 

 poured in upon you for your grand exposure of the Dittmaj- pow-

Fast Brimfiel'l, Ma.t.'^. 



I notice in yoiu issue of Oct. 21 a paragraph entitled " Shooting 

 witi Glasses " from a near-sighted correspondent. Like this cor- 

 respondent I am near-sighted ; am very fond of shooting, and, if 

 what he says apphea to open sights only, I have had a similar 

 trouble, especiaUy in target practice. With & long rifle and open 

 sights I never could draw a " fine bead " on the centre without 

 blurring and mirage, and I almost always shot high. My remedy 

 consisted in getting a short rille, with a thin pohshed front sight 

 made of silver or some white metal. .As I can see this sight clearly 

 there is no blurring. Then I raised my rear sight so that juat aa 

 the front sight cuts into the lower edge of the btUlseye the bullet 

 strikes the centre. With the sights in that position I ha ve no 

 mirage. But as my rifle has combined sights I seldom use the open 

 sights in the target shooting, and not always in hunting, as when 

 the light is snflicient I find the globe more reliable. Of course 

 short rifles and globe sights may not suit all who have defective 

 vision. All that 1 claim is that such anfle and such sights are just 

 the thing for me ; and I beheve that most near-sighted persons, 

 whose trouble is s imil ar to mine, will find the same remedy 

 effectual, 



Of course the cause or causes of such troubles must be in the 



- cd from Captiuu Dudley Selph, kind or position of sights m the eyes or in the glasses. As your 



,v hieh explains itself : , correspondent neglects to mention the kind of sights he nse^s,
