 enthusiastic riflemen of the East Boston Schuetzen Corps as- 

 sembled at Beachmont to engage in their weekly competition. 

 The scores are subjoined :

Wakefield, Mass., Jan. 8.— The owl match sustains its interest, 

 and the popping at the white buUseys through the darkness of the 

 night stQl continues to be liberally followed. To-day, iu the after- 

 noon, we had shooting with some close leading scores, and in the 

 eveoiug, when wind and elevation had once been secured, it seemed 

 no trouble at all to pour in the bulletB to the buUseve. The scores 

 stood :

Boston, Mass., Jan. 8.— The final day of the several matches on 

 the Walnut Hill range drew out a large body of shooters to-day, 

 and the paviUou was more than comfortably full. In the early 

 morning the sky was cloudless, the wtud hai-d to control, unsteady 

 and at tunes approaching almost a gale. Added to this was the 

 most provoking mirage produced by the bright sun upon the white 

 snow. In the afternoon the weatber conditions were move pleas- 

 ing to the contestants, as light, fleecy clouds prevented the mirage 

 from being so dazUng and rested the eyes of all the iris-seekei's. 

 Splendid work was now done. Captam Jackson closed high man 

 on the ring target (rest). Mr. D. Kirkwood took first honors on 

 the Massaohnsetts target (off-hand) for a total of 106. F. J. Kab- 

 beth heads the Ust for .IB on the Creedmoor target. Mr. Severance 

 made the excellent score of ll(i, Massachusetts target (rest) ; and 

 Ames, with good holding and judgment, scored 82 on the ring tar- 

 get, off-hand— good work in the erratic wind of to-day. Mr. J. 

 Oram took the load before the amatem- target for 47, outi-anking 

 Mr. Gould, while Grtint and Fauuce both put in tivo IGs. The 

 prizes in this matob are gold and silver association medals. Mr. 

 Cram mU wear the gold trophy and Mr. Gould the aUver one. The 

 entries to-day were many, and as all the gentlemen ai'ft trying to 

 improve their scores, only a few finished. The shooting was so 

 heavy that it was impossible to arrange the prize-winners. The 

 names will be given in next week's issue. The subjoined summai? 

 win give the results of to-day's meet : 



Massachusetts Target (Best).

Y.vcHTS Photos. — Brentauo, of Union Square, keeps a full line of 

 aU photos of American and Enghsh yachts. The American lot in- 

 cludes several very handsome specimens ot the art, notably tlioae 

 representing the schooner Nellie G., the sloop SeaBu'd, a fine deck 

 view of the latter, and the sloop Bebie. We wish tlial someone 

 conld be found with enterprise enough to photograph New York 

 yachts, there would be a small mint in the undertaking. As it is, 

 We must depend upon Boston for a supply ot representative illus- 

 trations.
