Conlen’s Anniversary. — Oonlin, whom every rifleman 
the world over knows as the keeper pf the best rifle gal¬ 
lery in this country, had a grand time on the 34th ult. in 
celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of the establishment 
of his gallery. During that time Mr. James S. Conlin 
has had a very wide acquaintanceship with lovers of 
that American weapon, the rifle. Every champion of 
every sort of shooting is welcome there.and finds a chance 
to show his skill, and any would-be marksman, with 
more facility in talking scores than shooting them, soon 
has the conceit taken out of him in [that company. 
Conlin had provided a full “ spread” on the night of his 
anniversary, and the bantling in its teens proved to have 
a great many friends. There were plenty of experts 
working with very even scores over the turkey, Balads 
and drinkables, and all the clubs were liberally repre¬ 
sented. There wore L. V. Sone, who has a record of 
forty-three consecutive bull’s eves at a “ Creedmoor 
target” reduced for gallery practice, and there is no 
better “holder" in the country than he ; Mr. Sibley, who 
can rattle off a full score almost at any time ; Frank H. 
Lord, who hardly ever misBeB anything at which he may 
send a pistol ball, aud’whose ability in this work is known 
on both sides of the Atlantic. * The great talker, who 
looks like a philosopher, is Wilson MacDonald, and 
when anybody talks of shooting at the word, Mac stops 
talk, and goes to work, and with a score of 47 in possible 
50 at the word three, a string of eleven inches, 35 yards, 
at word one, and 41 (two and a half inches) consecutive 
bull’s eyes at word one, he can afford to wait till the 
boys show something as good. Capt. Bogardus, of course, 
was there, and for writing challenges, and backing them 
up with money and scores, there is none can outdo the 
great Illinoisian. Farrow, who has, with Capt. Jacksou, 
of Boston, the best all-range record in America ; 
William Hayes, who haunts German Schuetzenfests, and 
though he has not a drop of Teuton blood in 
him. persists in forcing his way by superior 
butt practice on to the throne of the Schnetzen Konig. 
Then there were other keen eyed marksmen present by 
the* dozen. Bonett, Davis, ’Cheever, O’Donnell, Sea- 
bury, Fulgraff, Ward, Sherman, Dudley, Barker, Culli- 
nan, Banks, J. Blydenburgh, and others’ to the number 
of a big crowd. There were good wishes enough uttered 
to overwhelm Mr. Conlin when he shall get into the lar¬ 
ger quarters to which he is soon about- to treat himself 
and his friends. 
New York — Oonlin Is Shooting Gallery .—The Every¬ 
body’s Match, which had been in operation for one 
month, ended -.Thursday ^evening, Nov. 20th. It was a 
complete success. There were seventy-eight competitors 
entered, and among this number there were many repre¬ 
sentative riflemen of this city and vicinity— the experts 
of indoor and of outdoor shooting. The average shooting 
was far better than in last years match, while the con¬ 
tests of ’76 and ’77 show a still greater contrast. The 
whining targets are nothing less than marvels of skill in 
marksmans]lip, and to be duly appreciated must be seen. 
They are now on exhibition at the gallery. The condi¬ 
tions of the match were: Seven shots with 23-100 cal. 
rifle, three pound trigger pull, position off-hand, as re¬ 
quired by rules of the N. R. A.; the shots to be measured 
from the center of the shot to the centre of the bull’s-eye. 
In case of a “tie” in the total measurement the -target 
having the “ wildest” shot to lose. The number of en¬ 
tries unlimited. The match to commence Oct, 20th and 
to continue one month. There were thirty prizes offered, 
consisting of useful and appropriate articles, all of which 
were fitting trophies for the contest. The best score to 
win the first choice, etc. 
As can be seen by the appended list, the competition 
was of such a close charaoter that it was necessary to 
measure the shots to the thirty-second part of an inch. 
This was done very satisfactorily with the ready meas¬ 
urement targets, invented by Mr. Conlin. The names of 
the winners and the total measurement of their best tar¬ 
get of seven shots are as follows :—

Day was made use of by the Westchester and Phcenix 
Rifle teams for a match at Phcenixville. The Pennsyl¬ 
vania team have already suffered one defeat on the West¬ 
chester grounds, and a second match was decided on. 
A special train was provided for the two teams and 
their friends, and at 10 o’clock they proceeded down 
the Reading Railroad to the Phoenix range, along the 
Schuylkill. It is a very fine range. At about 11 o'clock 
firing began. 
When the last round was fired, and victory perched 
on the banners of the Westchester team, Capt. N. A. 
Pennypacker made a short address, and the Phoenix team 
gave three cheers for the victors. Of the shooting, that 
of Mr. Leopold, formerly of the Pottstown, but now at¬ 
tached to the Phoenix, must be mentioned as extraor¬ 
dinarily fine, lie making ten bull’s-eyes and 117 points

Washington, D. 0.—The club match which was opened 
November 1st, by the Columbia Rifle Association, to be 
continued till January 1st next, was called Saturday last 
at 3 P. M. But two contestants entered. The afternoon 
was passably good, although the breeze fluctuated from 
6 to 9 o’clock, and at times was quite unsteady in 
Strength. 
Following is the shot-for-shot record of the scores 
made:—

Columbia Rifle Association.— Washington, IJ. C-. 
The second club badge of the series opened at Bennings’ 
on the 8th inst., to continue till January 1st next, was 
called by the umpire, Dr. John Parsons, at 1.80 P. H. on 
Saturday last, the 15tli inst., and notwithstanding the 
gale that prevailed and the threatening appearance of the 
skies, there tvere five entries. The two gentlemen who 
entered for the long-range contest were anxious to have 
a bout with the wind, and test the qualities of the im¬ 
provements and additions made during the week to the 
great wind clock, consisting, in addition to a new and 
improved vane to work the hand on the clock, of an 
anemometer and two dipping vanes. The afternoon 
proved most fitting for testing the new instruments, and 
the long-range men were loud in praises of the improve¬ 
ments. 
The scores were good in both matches, considering the 
very high and blustery wind of the afternoon, and the 
fact that the long-range match was finished in a hard 
shower, with fading light. 
Following is the shot-for-shot record of the shooting in 
the short-range match :—
