BOSTON, Dec. 3.— A goodly number of riflemen assembled to-day 



atWalnni. IliM '.: luiti.'li::-"--- in the recvi'.ai mulches now on the 

 programme. The weaih-r was admirably adapted to rifle shooting, 

 the day being cloudy and the light steady and clear. The wind, not. 

 strong In lis velocity, blew steadily trom the north during moat of 

 the day, shilling slightly to the. eastward In the aiternoon. In the 

 handicap match entiles were numerous and some good work was 

 done, Mr.L. L. llubbard leading the list, with an excellent 43, and Mr. 

 A C Adams following with a 4S almo.-a as good. Worthy ot special 

 ment on also are Me-sra. c c Foster, F J Rahbeth and J N Frye, who 

 come next, each with a record of 40. In the sharpshooters' match 

 the marksmen were bothered during a portion ot the lime by clouds 

 of smoiie blowing soman the range, which at times almost obscured 

 the targets from view. Notwithstanding this tact some excellent 

 scores were made, some of I lie records running up to loo and more. 

 Mr. L. L. Hubbard gained Brat honors in this match also, with a 

 score or 110. Mr. V.. I. Kabbeth took second place with 1U8 to his 

 credit, and Messrs. ,1. N. Frye and G. Warren Hollowed, each with a 

 score of 101. The details of both matches are appended :
