I HI-: INTERNATIONAL GA] LERY .MATCH. -No. l,i!56 Broadway, 

 N. Y., Nov. 82— Editor forest uwl Stream : Mr. .lohn lilgby, of Dublin, 

 Ireland, the famous long range rlileman, has evinced, in correspond- 

 ence with me, a desire io bring aboul an International Gallery Match 

 It gave me ureal pleasure lo respond favorably, and Hie prellmlnai u-i 

 tor the proposed contest were commenced. Mr. lilgby placed the 

 mailer before the Miniature Utile Club oi Dublin, ami I he terms of 

 the contest, as proposed by that organization were to lue effect that 

 each team consist of rour gentlemen, who shall use ,22 ( vi rifles 

 with 3 lb. trigger, each man to shoot. 25 consecutive shots at the wi 

 yds. Wlmbletdn Target of IsfiS, reduced proportlonaielv for tie- dis- 

 tance ot 75 feet. The position of the shooter Is expressly stipulated 

 to be off-hand, with the under, or " barrel arm'' clear from i li. bo.lv 



I suggested that the condition governing Uieposi i6n simply' require 

 thai ilu- ride- he held "'oil-band," but the Commit Hv of the Miniature 

 Kllle Club who have tills matter In charge would not consent to lids. 

 Although a purely American position, there is not a rifle, organization 

 in this city or vicinity which can produce a team and reserve of gen- 

 tlemen who shoot using the stipulated position, and who are qualitled 

 to shnoi against the expert riflemen whieli the Irish i earn would prob- 

 ably be composed of. I therefore propose that a ride club he organ- 

 ized by gentlemen who use the ofi-nand post! ion, holding the under 

 arm free trOm the body. I would suggest that there be ho initiation 

 fees nor dues (as no expense would be necessary for the maintenance 

 of i he organization), and that the club inert on Call whenever the 

 Executive committee should deem a meeting necessary. The object 

 ot the organization would be to foster and promote the use ot the only- 

 true off-band position used 111 rliie shooting. The position is distinct- 

 ively Amorlcau, and Is the only style of oil-hand shooting brought 

 lino use by l lie hunter or soldier while at, " practical work."
