 Match, which took place to-day at Walnut Hill, attracted a large 

 number of riflemen and many spectators. The magnificent scores 

 made at the last meet, put the marksmen upon their mettle, and 

 each one of the part'eipants wished to improve his former score. 

 All the good shots were present. Many did not finish i heir scores. 

 n« their record could not be improved, and also to save ammuni- 

 tion The day was cool, the tky overcast with leaden clouds 

 which produced a good light hi the early stages of the contest! 

 The wind also was steady during the morning, blowing strong 

 from the east, and indicating 18 o'clock. In the afternoon it be- 

 came tickle and unreliable and reouired constant wnteb.rg. Capt. 

 Jackson again came to the Iron! with his military 1'or 50, with two 

 points added for the handicap, as previously noted, which makes 

 two full scores made during thin match. This shooting upholds 

 the reputation of the Walnut Hill marksmen. There were 110 

 entries- the best were scs follows:—
