Buffalo, Oot. 16th and 17 th .—The annual fall meeting 
of the Bay View Rifle Association took place on the Lake 
Range on these two days. The Eighth Division Match 
was the first competition; open to company teams of 
seven men each at 200 and 500 yards shooting. At the 
first distance the shooting was very close. At the second 
distance, however, the leading team fell away very much, 
The prize-taking teams were :— 
200 Fete. 500 Yds. Total. 
13th Separate Company, Warsaw. 130 119 249 
FourtoenthSeparate Corapany.Batavia 119 108 227 
Co. B, Seventy-fourthRest-, Buffalo.. 121 100 221 
Eleventh Separate Company, Westfield 134 75 209 
A Short-Range Team match, open to teams of seven 
men from any company or club, had five teams, all of 
them with military rifles. The Sixty-fifth Regiment 
team men, firing ten shots each, scored 264 to 261 by the 
Eleventh Separate Company team. The Warsaw com¬ 
pany had 252, and the Seventy-fonrth Regiment team 
243. 
An All-Comers’ at 200 yards, ten rounds, military rifles, 
with a first prize of a clock, led to a hot contest, but with 
a fresh wind the draft was too heavy on most of the 
marksmen, and E. E. Farman, on a score of 45, coolly 
walked off with the prize. 
The Laflin & Rand medal, at 600 yards, military rifles, 
was the next match contested. A good light, but a poor 
wind tried the men, hut there was little contest ,for first 
place, the scores standing :— 
H. 8. Mulligan.4 5 6 5 5 4 4 5 5 2-44

W. Pickering.4 45402554 3-36 
The second day was not a favorable one, a storm of 
wind, rain and bad light making the day as had as could 
be. The Shaw Badge was first contested for ; five rounds 
each at 2u0, 300 and 500 yards ; military rifles. This was 
a well contested match, the final winner having to fight 
hard for his place. The scores stood:— 
200 Yds. 300 Yds. 500 Fite. Total. 
C.H. Walker. 18 21 21 60

At 400 and 600 yards, with military rifles, five rounds

medal. There were hut few contestants, and these few 
shot poorly, as follows;—

The wind-up match was a 1 ‘ baby” match for non-prize 
takers at 200,300 and 500 yards, the Hickox medal being 
the first prize out of the possible 75. Watkins, the War- 
, was again the winner, as by the following

Massachtjssets —South Framingham, Oct. 28 th .—The 
annual rifle match of the Massachusetts Volunteer 
Militia, which has been twice postponed, was held here 
to-day. As there were but few teams qualified to shoot 
on the State grounds at South Framingham and for State 
prizes, and as it was desired to open the competition for 
association prizes to as many as possible, it was agreed 
a short time since that any team might shoot for the 
latter prizes at Walnut Hifi, under certain restrictions. 
Six teams were qualified to shoot. Of these five appeared, 
Company D, First Regiment, preferring to shoot at Wal¬ 
nut Hill. By this action they lost the second prize j for 
their score was the second highest, they were 
from holding that prize, which is the State cup, 
; be on the State range. The weather was rainy, 
the wind at the opening was coming in strong puffs 
iiiiu difficult to control. The light, however, was per¬ 
fect, and as the rain increased the wind subsided. The 
first prize, the cup offered in 1875 by the Providence Tool 
Company, to be the property of the team winning it in 
three successive competitions, was carried off by Com¬ 
pany A, Sixth Regiment, Wakefield, whose score, 103, 
was" the highest ever made in the State match. The cup 
last year by Company D, First Corps of Cadets, 
nd prize, the State "cup, goes to Company A, 
Corps of Cadets. Appended are the scores ; five
