it with a score of 261 out of a possible 350, which was 
pretty good for Springflelds. The contest on Saturday

The day was bright and beautiful, but a little too cold 
for comfort—the coldest of the season thus far—and this 
fact operated seriously against A Company, the members 
of which, with one exception, fired from a hip rest, while 
their opponents, with one exception, took the graceful 
and certainly firmer position, with the left hand well out 
on the barrel. The hip rest may do well enough in gal¬ 
lery shooting, with a warm temperature and no wind, 
but when a vigorous young man faces a breeze chilled to 
the point of freezing, and holds his rifle at the liip rest, he 
will find a disturbing element under it, pumping away 
for all it is worth, at the rate of about ninety thumps a 
minute, and Ms front sight wobbling all around the tar¬ 
get, placing the making of bull’s eyes among the class of 
lucky* accidents. 
A Company’s man who discarded the hip rest made 
one of the two highest scores on his side, while the man 
of B Company who adopted it was one of the two lowest 
on that side. 'The sooner the fine disciplinarian and really 
competent captain of A Company’s team discards the 
position, referred to the sooner he can place the splendid 
material he has in hand at.tlie right of the line among 
the riflemen of the I. N. G. Lu. H. Drury,

Louisiana —Neio Orleans .—The eighth contest for the 
Mobile Trophy drew a large company* of riflemen to the 
Frogmoor Bange. The sky was without a cloud, per¬ 
mitting old Sol to shine ill all his glory. There was 
a light breeze, wMch did not much bother the marks¬ 
men, and the atmosphere was so clear that the targets 
seemed almost to rest upon the eye. 
The contest of the day was that for the Inter-State or 
Mohily Trophy*, eighth competition between the teams 
represented at the initial contest in Mobile last year. It 
was thought that the possession of the trophy 'would be 
definitely settled by this match, inasmuch as the Louis¬ 
iana Field team had already* won four competitions, and 
stood a very fair chance of winning a fifth, and, there¬ 
fore, the last. From the start the WasMngton Artillery 
team seemed determined to make another effort for the 
prize, and the scores put up at 200 yards were the most 
remarkable yet exhibited in an inter-State trophy match. 
At the 500 yards distance there was a great falling-off all 
around, and what promised to be the highest total score 
dwindled down to 390 points. Individuals did well; 
notably Mr. Gsohwind, who made 62 points out of 70, and 
scoring 30 points at the 500 yards distance. Appended is 
the summary and score:— 
Inter-State or Mobile Trophyr; eighth competition under 
the new rules, which require five in n ings to entitle to pos¬ 
session ; 200 and 600 yards; teams of eight, with seven 
shots at each range, and two sighting shots; military 
rules, military rifles and military* uniform. The prize 
was won the first, second, tMrdand seventh times by the 
Louisiana Field Artillery team, the scores being 365, 396, 
345 and 399 : and the fourth, fifth and sixth times by the 
AVashington Artillery team, the scores being 345, 363 and 
403 i—

California.—T he fall meeting of the California Rifle 
Association opened at the McMahon Range, San Bruno, 
under the direction of Lieutenant C. P. Le Breton, Exec¬ 
utive Officer, Oct. 26. The weather was extremely pleas¬ 
ant. The scores show a marked improvement on pre¬ 
vious ones. The Kellogg Challenge Cup, one of the tro- 
pliies offered for competition at the first tournament of 
the California Rifle Association, has finally passed out of 
the list of trophies, Sergeant John P. Warren, of the Gat¬ 
ling Battery, having succeeded in winning it for the third 
time on the very handsome score of 24 out of the-possible 
25 at 600 yards. The possession of the trophy was stub¬ 
bornly contested by Major A. F. Klose, who also made 
the same kind of a 24, and in shooting off the tie Ser¬ 
geant Warren won by only one point. Colonel Kellogg 
won the first prize in the long-range competition, 44 out 
of the possible 59. Ma jor Klose having the best 23 possi¬ 
ble in the Subscription Match, took the first prize'. In 
the mil itary team matches for the Centennial and Asso¬ 
ciation trophies, the second day, six representatives from 
each company of infantry, artillery, and cavalry enrolled 
in the National Guard of California and artillery of the 
United States Army took part. The distances were 200 
and 500 yards for fnfantry and artillery teams, and 200 
and 400 yards for cavalry : standing at short range and 
without artificial rest at long range, if recumbent, with 
head towards the target; weapons, United States Spring- 
field rifles and carbines. The prize was a silver challenge 
trophy, valued at $350, and had been won two consecu¬ 
tive years by the National Guard. Three years are neces¬ 
sary for permanent possession. The Centennial Trophy 
was carried off by the first team from the Oakland Cav¬ 
alry. The match was open to ten representatives from 
any regiment, battalion, or any company of infantry, 
artillery, and cavalry in the National Guard of Califor¬ 
nia and artillery of the United States Army. The dis¬ 
tances and positions were the same as the Association 
Match. The trophy is a present of the city of San Fran¬ 
cisco, valued at $500, and is to be competed for annually 
until 1976, in which year the award shall be final. The 
cavalry trophy was won by the Oakland Light Cavalry 
by a score of 229 out of a possible 300. The seven highest 
in the subscription on the second day are given below, 
and also the four highest contestants for the Pacific Life 
Cup, on the first day. Major R. H. Orton was the exec¬ 
utive officer on the second day, and everytMng passed off 
pleasantly. The scores were as follows :—

MOOSE HUNTING IN FALL. 
N OW is the time for moose hunting, tvhen the nutting 
season (the season for “ calling”), being not fairly 
over, light falls of snow cover the ground, and not 
only enable the hunter to track the moose, hut pre¬ 
vent the untimely snapping of dry tAvigs and rattling of 
dead leaA'es. Since last year the law relative to their de¬ 
struction in Nova Scotia has been amended, though ques¬ 
tionably improved. Last year, “no one person, or num¬ 
ber of persons forming a hunting party, Avere allOAved, 
during any one year or season, to kill or take more than 
three moose.” Now, by the existing Iuav, “ no one per¬ 
son shall, during any one year or season, kill or take more 
than two moose; ” thus it will be seen that whereas a 
hunting party consisting of no matter Avliat number, could 
collectively last year only kill three moose, they are now 
aUoAved to kill two to each gun. A correspondent in Lon¬ 
don Field Avrites : 
Though complications often arose when the old law was 
in force (I will not say enforced), which now to a certain 
extent disappear, the amended law has only accomplished 
this end by sanctioning a greater destruction of this noble 
game, when from its increasing scarcity one would imag¬ 
ine that steps in an opposite direction wouid be taken. 
Advocates of the neAv law may say that the moose ob¬ 
tains equ al protection under the new as under the old law, 
from the fact that where a hunter could last year kill 
three moose, he may notv only kill two. This Avould lie 
so if a hunting party consisted of but one individual, in¬ 
stead of, as is generally the case, two or three individuals. 
It is not, however, against the hand of the genuine sports¬ 
men that the moose requires protection, for the animals 
killed by them are, numerically speaking, insignificant, 
compared to the numbers slain by dollar hunters, who 
respect the law as little as they do the noble game after 
Avhich they are in quest. A hide to these gentry means 
five dollars, and a carcass means ten or fifteen cents a 
pound ; and as long as a market exists, so long will they 
continue to drive their slaughtering trade. 
There are two legitimate means of hunting the moose, 
termed respectively, “ calling ” and “ creeping; ” the for¬ 
mer sport commences (by the new law) on the 15th of Sep¬ 
tember, and may be considered to end about the middle 
of October ; “ creeping ” commences after the first fall of
