The last day was at long range. The light and wind 
were both variable, and a fire west of the butts kept a 
cloud of smoke in front of the targets through the greater 
part of the day, and rendered it very difficult to see the 
targets distinctly. Notwithstanding all the disadvantages 
some very high scores were rolled up. There were eleven 
entries for the first match, and the scores ranged from 99 
to 78 points, out of a possible 100. Mr. James Thistlewaite, 
of Ilion, won the Crouse badge for the second time, by a 
score of 99 points. The other prizes were taken by the 
Ilion men by good scores :—

Everlasting Shells—C orpus Christi, Sept. 25th,— 
Somebody who signs himself “Everlasting” in your issue 
of the 18th takes exception to my statement that the ever¬ 
lasting Ballard shells expanded in shooting, and either 
doubts my cleanliness, veracity, or common sense in liv¬ 
ing in this country, whose climate is so peculiar that a 
brass shell Avliich drops easily into a rifle barrel will ex¬ 
pand on firing, Answering the last proposition first, I 
have only to say I am not hunting a climate nor country 
to suit my firearms, for I had the country before I did 
the gun, and will keep it longer in all probability. 
As to my veracity, I have no care to discuss that sub¬ 
ject with a person of “Everlasting’s” turn of mind. I 
certainly have a right to say that an advertised article is 
not what it purports to be, if I find it so at my own cost. 
As to the cleanliness of my guns, they will compare 
-with any of your readers’ weapons in freedom from dirt 
or rust and they are used in the field entirely. As to 
the remarks of the gentleman signing himself “Bell- 
Muzzle,” I thank him for his advice, and will state that 
with a few exceptions my shells, after being rubbed down 
with emery cloth, as he describes, work tolerably well, 
but not one of the fifty will enter the hall seater more 
.than half way. 
And now, Mr. Editor. I wish to ask if there is any par¬ 
ticular reason why a gentleman should not make known 
the shortcomings’of the gumnakers to his fellow-sports¬ 
men through the columns of the sportsman’s paper ? and 
is it particularly sportsman-like in a person answering or 
communicating on that complaint to insinuate that filth 
is the probable cause of the trouble?
