Am.-vteuu Rifle Cum — This old organization, having decided 

 to send a representative on the American Team to Ireland, set 

 about his select ion on Friday last, according to the programme 

 already printed in the Fijkest iWD Si-beam, providing a two days' 

 test, the leader to be the selected man. Eight members of the 

 club entered the competition ; six of them completed their score. 

 The first shot wasdlscharged at 11.30o'clock, at the 800 yards range, 

 and at that time there was quite a party of gentlemen round the fir- 

 ing points. Mr. Charles W. Minor, the secretary of the Amateur 

 club, was lu charge as executive officer; Col. John Bodinc, cap- 

 tain-elect of the team, was on the ground watching the i?orkof 

 his future subordinates; the contestants, Messrs. K. Ratkbone, 



1. L. Allen, h. C. Bruce, W. H. Jackson, W. M. Farrow, X. D. 

 Ward, H. Fisher L. Hepb urn, were squadded on targets '■ Star" 

 and "VI.," while a handful of other gentlemen shot on an ad- 

 joining target for practice. Later in the day Major Henry Fulton, 

 chairmen of the National Ritlc Association's Commit tee on Choice 

 of Team, also put in an appearance. One hour and a half was 

 Bpentat the first range, and then a recess for lunch was taken. 

 The other distances were covered in a shorter time, ami Uie en- 

 tire competition came to an end at 4J!0 o'clock. Mr. Rath bone 

 was suffering much from a cold, and though ho made the good 

 total of 67 points at 800 yards, he witbdre t* 



nex t distance. Mr. Hepburn made 67 at BOO and 66 ut 900, but with- 

 drew after firing 11 shot* at 1,000 yards. 



The weather was most Irving. The wind was a decided " fish- 

 tail," blowing from the south in fitful gusts, which defied all cal- 

 culation, and which rendered necessary a change of windage 

 sometimes amounting to seven points between shots. The light 

 was in the main good, though rather changeable, aud elevations 

 were very unsteady. The dampness of tho ground also caused a 

 mirage, which rendered accurate " spotting " impossible. Under 

 these circumstances, the day's work must be regarded as excel- 

 lent. While no brilliant score appears, all are good, and the total 

 made by the six men who completed their scores (of l,l"9i exceeds 

 by 4 points the total with which the team of 1876 defeated its 

 Irish rival in the match shot on September 22d. It must also be 

 remembered that those who shot on Friday have had little or no 

 opportunity for practice this year, and will not be at their best 

 fora week or two, when the rust of winter will be worn off. To 

 this lack of recent practice must be attributed the rather formida- 

 ble array of misses that appears in the record, which ran as fol- 

 lows :-

The match of the second day was continued under atmospheric 

 conditions somewhat similar to those of the previous day. The 

 wind was from the north, but was steadier both in force and di- 

 rection than before, and did not materially affect elevations. The 

 light was stronger and a trifle more glaring, but less uncertain. 

 The advantage of Friday's experience and the slightly bettered 

 conditions combined to make a marked improvement in the 

 scores. The team total of the six competitors was 1,181 out of the 

 possible 1,350— an advance of 12 points over Friday's result, The 

 highest individual score made was that of Mr. L. C. Bruce, who 

 secured 201 out of the possible 225 points. The day'6 work is fully 

 represented by the following figures:—

THE Besult.— The aggregate results of the two days' competi- 

 tion determine who shall represent the Amateur Bifle Club on tho 

 team. They are as follows :— 



First Day. Second Van. Total. 



t.L.Allcn J9S 200 398 



L C. Bruce 193 201 394

N.D.Ward 197 189 386 



H. Fisher 193 193 386 



Mr. Allen explains that he shot in the competition purely for 

 recreation and practice, and without any idea of accepting tho 

 position if he won it, and this fact leaves Mr. L. C. Bruce the win- 

 ning man. Mr. Bruce held the position of reserve on the team 

 which went to Ireland in 1875, and in the fall of the same year he 

 was a member of the team which defeated the Canadian marks- 

 men at Creedmoor. He was chosen on the team of 1876, which 

 shot the first competition for the Pal ma, but resigned his place 

 in favor of Col. Bodinc. He, however, again shot himself on to 

 the team of 1877,and on the second day of the match with Sir 

 Henry Hal Tord's team he made his celebrated score of 219 out of 

 the possible 225 points. Since that time, he has hardly fired a 

 shot at long range until the present competition. He lormerly 

 used the Fulton position, but has lately adopted tho improved 

 back position, and uses a heel-sight on his rifle. Ho is a native 

 of Lexington, Ky., and is about thirty-one years old.

 for Sharps military rifles, 200 yards; second match, I 

 mid-range rifles, 200 yards; third maich Association Sold Medal,

A Bio Five Htjhdkbd Ball Score.— Wanldin, Pa., Man ith.— 



his attcrnuon, before a large .orowd, Otto 0. Wilklna shot at 500 



glass balls out of a Bogardus trap. The shooting was done with a 

 repealing magazine gun, with R. G. Lambrcton as referee, and H. 

 B. Kanfner aud H. J. Gordon as scorers. In the drst hundred 

 he missed the 17th and 58th, breaking 98 in the hundred. In the 

 next hundred he missed the 80th ball only. The third hundred 

 was the poorest of the lot, the 13th, 30th, 32d, 34th, 4jd, 51st, 81st 

 and 96th balls being scored as misses, in all 93 broken out of the 

 hundred. In the fourth hundred the misses wore on tho 5th, 7th, 

 39lh, 52d aud 55th balls, and in the last hundred the missed balls 

 were the 9th, 11th, 20th. 28lh and 43d ball3, making a total of 21 

 balls, or a score of 479 in the. possible 500. Tho shooting was ac- 

 cording to the Bogardus rules, and the referee writing of it, says : 

 "His shooting was simply wonderful. After completing his 

 score, he amused I he crowd by putting holes in pennies, breaking 

 lead pencils, or smashing anything any one >vas inclined to throw 

 in the air. I have seen Carver shoot, and I am contldcnt young 

 WiUdns, with practice, will equal if not excel him."

 Saturday, May 1st, rules of National Kille Association governing. 



Wc shall ho pleased to receive regular monthly reports. 



Washixgtox. D. C, May $th— Tho Columbia Rille Association 

 found a cloudless sky, a dancing light, oppressive heat, a dry 

 air, and a feeble, uncertain breeze from 3 to 41 o'clock, awaiting 

 them on opening their fourth regular subscription match of the 

 spring season. The four marksmen who entered had to work 

 their passage, giving painful attention to shifting windage and 

 fluctuating elevations, beside being sadly wilted by the heat, 

 which touched the nineties at B:30, when the.match began. Doctor 

 Scott led the shooting at SOO yards, and, after alternating between 

 the owl and the flamingo for four shots, settled down to his task, 

 and kept the white disc in steady play to the end, retiring with 73 

 to his credit. Col. Burnsidehad wretched luck at starting, netting 

 only a total 69, which should have been two points better but for 

 the mirage. During the 900 yards shooting the mirage died away 

 under a freshening breeze, aud the temperature became more 

 endurable. Doctor Scott again led at this distance, dropping but 

 two points, on his eighth and eleventh rounds, in the changing 

 light, and again tallied 73. The Colonel shot in good stylo, his 

 unfortunate centers almost grazing the optic, but luck was once 



more against him, although hi -• ; ■ led ITI. At the last stage 



the falling light and temperature pul all the shooters on their 

 mettle as to elevations, but the wind was kindly disposed, and the 

 shooting of the leading contestants was of the highest rank, 

 Colonel Burnside in particular shooting in first class form to 

 neutralize his opening red-bird. Indeed his initial twelve shots 

 gave flattering promise of attaining a " best possible 7i," but 

 again the day's misfortune clung to him, and a marvelously close 

 center, on his thirteenth round, followed by an unaccountable 

 mag. on his last shot, which a trifle worse chance would have 

 made a mantlet, damaged his otherwise splendid score. As it was, 

 however, he tied the Dootor for 71. The shooting of Dr. Scott 

 was steady and close, his 217 being without an inner. His average 

 in the four Dollymount competitions in which he has shared is 

 now 2071, and it is not likely that the last competition, to be shot 

 next Saturday, will change his lead. The following are the de- 

 tailed scores of the two prize winners :—

J, H. B.. Philadelphia,.— A match is being shot open to "any 

 rifle;" military rifles used as such allowed two points. A, with 

 sporting rifle, makes 46 ; II, with military rifle, makes 44, aud with 

 allow.-ioce counts 40. The competition Is governed by N. R. A. 

 ruleB, aud nothing is said as to shooting off ties. Which one 

 IS. The N. B. A. rules for an individual match at single 

 distance decide by fewest misses, then fewest outers, and so on, 

 and takes no cognizance of the handicap allowance. In this cas» 

 it would seem that B loses.
