RANGE AND GALLERY. 



Massachusetts Boston, March Wth— Mammoth Rifle Gallery. 



—The third week of the Consolation Rifle Match at the Mam- 

 moth Gallery has shown the best shooting since the January 

 series last month. Messrs. Arnold, Richardson and Harrison were 

 tied for the first three prizes. They met in the gallery laBt 

 Wednesday to shoot off the tie ; it was a splendid contest and was 

 very close between the first, two gentlemen, Mr. Harrison not 

 shooting in his usual form. They shot 10 scores, each or n possi- 

 ble 400. Mr. Arnold made 373 (average 37 3-10), Mr. Richardson 

 made 373 (average 37 2-10), and Mr. Harrison mado 363 (average 

 36 2-10), Mr. Arnold winning the first prize of S15 by one point, 

 Mr. Richardson winning the second prize of $10, and Mr. Harri- 

 son the third prize of $8. Mr. Arnold took his success modestly, 

 and was congratulated by one and all present. The other two 

 gentlemen took their defeat kindly, and as Mr. Arnold was obliged 

 to take the cars for homo Messrs. Richardson and Harrison im- 

 proved the time to shoot in this month's match. Mr. Richardson 

 made five clean scores, and with two made previous making seven 

 clean sooros in all, whioh places him to the front for the extra 

 prize of $20 to any one making the highest number of clean scores 

 during the month. He made eighteen consecutive bull's-eyes, 

 two clean scores in succession and two more bull's-eyes on his 

 next score, which is the highest number ever made in the gallery. 

 The next highest is Mr. Arnold, with sixteen consecutive bull's- 

 eyes. Mr. Harrison made two more clean scores, making threo 

 In all, the highest possiblo score in the matoh ; and no doubt the 

 three gentlemen will moot again next month to shoot off the 

 tie's, and it will be hard to predict the winner in the second class. 

 Mr. L. W. Farrar takes the lead with three 38s, closely followed 

 by Messrs. McKenzie and Swift with three 3Ss, but ranking in the 

 order named. The following is the standing to date; 150 feet;

Walnut Bill, March 80(ft..— The knowledge that menbers of the 

 famous Empire Club, of New York, would visit Walnut Hill 

 to-day, I o. participate in the thirteenth competition in "Every- 

 body's Match," attracted a large number of riflemen and many 

 spectators to witness the shooting. The light gentlemen who 

 represented the New Tork team were Messrs. W.M. Farrow, F. 

 A. Bolton, T. Fitz, A. Hubbell. J, W. Todd, 0. E. Tayntor, W, A. 

 Robinson and D. F. Davids. The last visit of this club was in 

 January last, when Mr. Farrow made his fall score. Since that 

 time Mr. J. S. Sumner has also made a full score, and Captain 

 Jackson, with two points added for his military rifle, also a f uU 

 score, and forty-aine has not been an uncommon achievement. 

 The day proved all that the most fastidious marksman could 

 desire-spring-like and warm. The wind came gently from the 

 west, and was easily controlled in the early stages of the shout- 

 ing. The sun shone brightly, which produced a severe glare upon 

 the white snow whioh covered the range before the butts. In the 

 afternoon fleecy clouds sailed rapidly across the horizon, which 

 soon became of a leaden hue, and casting their dark shadows 

 upon the targets, effected elevations. The wind at this point of 

 the shooting acted in an erratic manner, changing to the east, and 

 all calculations wore upset, Mr. Farrow, with his knowledge of 

 rifle shooting, watched the signal flags, took in all the climatic 

 changes, started in for a full score, and after sending into the 

 bull's-eye nine consecutive bullets, he faced the target for his last 

 shot and got a "nipper" at 12 o'clock, and returned a disap- 

 pointed man for 49. Holton, Fitz and Hubbell each got 48, and 

 Todd finished for 47, making an average for the eight visitors of 

 46j. Mr Kirkwood upheld the reputation of the Massachusetts 

 club with a good 48, and Mr. Sumner 47, but tho New Yorkers 

 walked away with tho Walnut .Hill shooters In fine shape. The 

 visiting riflemen left for New York on the evening boat, well 

 pleased with their trip. There were 222 entries. The best are

Pennsylvania.— The movement inaugurated at the meeting in 

 Philadelphia, overwhich ex-Governor Hartranft presided, for the 

 establishment of a rifie association, has taken shape, and a charter 

 has been applied for. It is proposed to act in harmony with the 

 ruling views of the present rifle clubs, and to that end leave them 

 to suggest where the range shall be located. 



A Lively Team Match.— Washington, Pa.— Washington has 

 bean a Waterloo for Pittsburg. For some time a rifle match has 

 been talked of between us, distance 500 yards, and 15 shots to the 

 man. The parties mot on the 11th inst. at H.S0 a.m. It had been 

 snowing all the morning, but cleared off about noon. After a 

 few sighting shots the game commenced. Hazlett first prostrated 

 himself, and after due deliberation let fly and three bull's-eyes 

 were announced by the markers' flagman and "telescopist." Next 

 Enoch planted his heels In the snow and mud until the toes of his 

 long number oighteons were just vislblo above the mud and tide. 

 He rested firmly on a hemlook slab, legs describing a triangle 

 with the long cross-piece left off, his arms resting on these legs, 

 grasping the barrel of his rifle with the left hand and holding it 

 tight to his long, taper-like body, which at that moment contained 

 seven hard-boiled eggs, fourteen Taylor cakes and a gallon of 

 cold tea (Enoch didn't drink anything stronger). He was ready 

 to go ; two bull's-eyes and one four came up through the tele- 

 phone. Next came Roth well, who after protecting himself from 

 the damp ground with seven gum blankets and eighteen empty 

 wool sacks, brought his Remington to bear on that round black 

 spotcommonly called the "Bull." Letherwent. Twobuilsand 

 a four came rushing back to his listening ear, and he retired 

 from nil soft couch, saying something about that blasted flsh-tail 

 wind. Now comes our suburban relatives. Jones took a similar 

 position to Rothwell on the gum blankets and wool sacks. Jones 

 will make a good shot after a while. The general formation of 

 his zoological construction is similar to Enoch, the only percept- 

 ible difference being in the facial expression occasioned by about 

 half a pound of "Jackson 's best," which Jonesalways carries In his 

 left cheek: indeed.wo think his mouth runs less to the pound than 

 his rifle. Well, after adjusting himself the fire flew from his gun 

 and one bull and two 4s was the result. Bell by this time had 

 fully recovered from his experimental shots, and like a little man 

 stepped to the scratch. Bell is a real good glass-ball shot ; he won 

 a turkey tho other day in the Granger Match at Pittsburg, break- 

 ing 47 out of 50 balls. He fixed his corporation d la Gildersleeve, 

 and with an eye single to deadly purpose made two bulls and one 

 4. Dr. Bratt toed the scratch, his auburn hair waving beautifully 

 in that fish-tailed wind referred to by Rothwell. Nothing daunt- 

 ed, however, the Doctor was aa anxious to extract three bulls. 

 Adjusting his fairy-like form in a similar manner to Hazlett— who 

 by the way is rather a delioatoly built fellow, weighing only 305 

 pounds — the Doctor let go with 3 bulls to his credit; and so the 

 shooting continued to the end, having been favorable from the 

 start for little Washington, tn our notes upon this match we 

 ought not to neglect the favorable mention of "Guinnie" Wolf, 

 the head flagman, who on this occasion did himself honor in tho 

 graceful manner in which he waved the American flag, that starry 

 emblem of our country's freedom having been selected for do- 

 noting a bull's-eye. Nor of good-natured Charley Greer, the 

 boss marker of Western Pennsylvania. Charley said he "klv- 

 ered" every bull with a sticker quicker than greased lightning. 

 Nor of General John G. Ruplo, who managed the telescope with 

 such unerring certainty, and his emphatic manner of singing 

 out "half-post— one— o'clock -bull— well— in." Nor of Colonel 

 J. W. Woods, as scorer. The Colonel knows all about the life 

 Insurance business, and can tell a subject as quiok as J. F. Ray 

 could, and prides himself on his correct scoro tables. The follow- 

 ing is the score :—
