 tilled the post of secretai-y for loiu-teeu years past. lie died after

Boston, Mass., Dec. 1,S,— Though tf)-day was a chariiiiug one iu 

 every respect, but few riflemen availed thomHelTCB of it to pile up 

 a good score at Walnut ITill The wind was rather hard to con- 

 trol, it being of that peculiar liind that would soften and then 

 blow lilie a httle gale, and all wind calculations were iip»et at 

 every shot. The snow, however, has disiqipcared, and no unpleas- 

 ant effects were experienced from this cau-io. The spectators were 

 uumeroiis, among them being a l;id_i from the western pai't of 

 MuSBaehuBBtts, a Jliss Grillin, who from the shoulder made the ele- 

 gant Booro of 43 ftt 200 \ardH. Only the best records ai'e given : 



tlie week. Mr. J. Merrill now heads the Uet with an cMsUent 

 record of 102 out of a possible 200. He was nearly auecessful 

 twice m gottuig the $15 in gold, making two splendid thu-ty-ninoa. 

 He made nine couseontive, ending a score of 39 with four liuUs- 

 eyes, and his first ilve shots on his next score were also buUscye.'?. 

 He put up five scores which will be hard to equal, although Mr. 

 J. H. Brown, of the famous Empire Bitle Club of Now York, was 

 equal to the task. Ha stopped at the gallery on hia way bacJi; to 

 New York from ins trip East, where he went a week ago with the 

 weU-laio(vn shot, Miltju W. Farrow, who is still there. Mr. Brown 

 showed good woric and ca[iilal holding, and also made 192, but 

 was outiaukcd by Mr. Merrill. Mr. V. A. PoUard is third witli 

 190, Ml-. Frank HoUis is fourth with 189, Mr. H. A. Buck is fifth 

 with 186, and Mi\ George Ellsworth is sixth with 185. The sub- 

 joined Rummai-y will show the standing of the several competitors
