Monday last found the long range men again at the range, 

 busy in teams of four for the Inter-State lung range trophy. 

 Six teams entered for the trophy— two from New ¥ork State 

 and one each from Massachusetts, Louisiana, New Jersey and 

 District of Columbia. It was the especial purpose of the 

 Crescent City Club to carry off this trophy, and from its 

 records made on Frogmoor range its chance of success was 

 considered good. The Amateur Club of New York of course 

 entered and has once more shown itself to be the best long 

 range club in this country, if not in the world. The Hudson, 

 Columbia and the Boston teams represent small hard-working 

 clubs in their respective localities. The Hackensack Club 

 seemed to have been made up to fill an odd corner in the entry 

 list- one of this quartet claimed Jersey connection through 

 havino- been once bitten by a Jersey 'skeeter, two of them Lad 

 tasted Jersey lightning, wnile the fourth remembered a youth- 

 fuL visit to Hobokeh, and was thereupon declared a Jersey- 

 man- otherwise it is strange that a Jamaica man, a Flushing 

 man and a Brooklynite should do battle for Jersey. 



in drawing for places the Walnut Hill team, from Boston, 

 eot target Yl, on the extreme right : next them were the JPar- 

 thians of Hudson. On the next, target V, were the Amateur 

 team— Dakin, Weber, Jewell and Allen— clad in the sombre 

 American team uniform. On target O were the Washington 

 squad with the Hackensacks next on H, and the New Orleans 

 men at the extreme left on target I. The teams were carefully 

 squaded, and when each had fixed upon a referee to sit at one 

 of the other tiring points, the match opened, it was a regular 

 Creedmoor'day/witharear quartering 5 o clock wind well 

 known to the regular range men, but very much of a bother and 

 trouble to the new comers. At 800 yards, all the squads did 

 well though the Amateur Club team secured here a good lead. 

 Upon the Amateur Club target Colonel Sanford coached; for 

 the Crescent City men Captain Buckley, of the team, kept 

 watch. The Hackensack groups fired under the direction of 

 Cant Perry, while the Columbia ltifle Club were counselled 

 and advised by Rigby and G. Fenton, of the British team. It 

 is noteworthy that not a single man in the field fired iu the old 

 ryrone position. .,.,». . -, , , , 



At 900 yards Jackson led with 73 points, and the whole 

 Massachusetts delegation shot so well as to cut down the mar- 

 ein between themselves and the Amateurs to 8 points. The 

 cent City men were going from bad to worae, and gener 



ally loose scoring was the order on their target, though they 



were admiringly watched by a flock of lady friends. 



The nip and tuck was now between the Amateur and Bos- 

 ton teams. Jackson of the recent American team was leading 

 his men well, and but for the marked defection of the lowest 

 man on the down-East team they would have made a good 

 bid for first place. There was an almost general tumbling at 

 1,000 yards. The Crescent Oity men did badly, and scored 

 but 228 points in the possible 300, while the Amateurs piled 

 up 270. The Columbias, too, fell ofE, and with their low 

 scores at the previous ranges brought themselves into last place. 

 The full scores stood.

The meeting had a brilliant ending, with the Spirit oftlie 

 Times 1 cash prize match on Tuesday last. On the list of the 

 78 competitors were the members of the recent International 

 teams, British and American, with the reserves, a group of 

 Canadians from the Toronto range, the members of the Hud- 

 son River, Massachusetts, Washington and Hackensack State 

 teams, and the New Orleans riflemen. Colonel Gildersleeve 

 was absent on Court duties, but otherwise all the old team 

 men of 1874, 1875 and 1876 were shooting.. It was indeed 

 the greatest gathering of long range riflemen ever drawn to- 

 gether on this side the Atlantic, and on all sides it was tacitly 

 acknowledged that the victor might fairly claim the title 

 "champion of the world." 



The men were squadded by chance, six on a target, and the 

 long line of fire was rigidly kept clear of all loungers and 

 even from the waiting riflemen, and the rules drawn up with 

 the intention of compelling each of the contestants to do his 

 shooting unassisted by other shooters or by outsiders were 

 carefully carried out. These conditions were peculiar to the 

 contest," and were drawn up with special care to do away 

 with coaching and show the power of the men as individual 

 marksmen. The wind was a novelty, coming quartering down 

 the range from the front at the 10 o'clock quarter, and grad- 

 ually veering about to tne eleventh quarter. Iu the early 

 morning hours it blew with much force, but steadily. In 

 the afternoon it was much more moderate, The prize list 

 was a liberal one, and included cash prizes as follows: 

 First, $500, gold ; second, $2Q'0, gold ; third, $100, gold ; 

 fourth, $75, gold; fifth, $50, gold; sixth, $30, gold; sev- 

 enth, $25, gold ; eighth, $20, gold ; total, $1,000, gold. In 

 addition the entrance fees were equally divided among the 

 twenty-two next highest competitors, making for each the sum 

 of $17.72. 



Washburn, of Hartford, came in winner of the first prize 

 of $500, gold, with a score of 207, which, considering the odd 

 pb&racter of the day, is very fair, and speaks well for the 



Willow Brook range training which Mr. Washburn has re- 

 ceived, 



All the team men were in the match, and a comparison of 

 scores show that the British team men shooting, as individ- 

 uals, beat the Americans, the scores standing ;

THE FALL MEETING AT CREEDMOOfi. 



Wednesday, the 12th, was an all-comers' day at Creedmoor, 

 and in the progress of the fall meeting embraced many com- 

 petitions, about which no small amount of preparation and 

 talk had been spent. In the early forenoon the inter-State 

 military match was contested, and the Californians came 

 bravely to the front ; and, as everybody except the other com- 

 peting teams expected, walked away with the "Soldier of 

 Marathon. " At the 200-yards range the Connecticut team held 

 a good lead, but the superior marksmanship of Gen. McComb's 

 squad brought it well up at the 500-yard stage and gave it the 

 match with a liberal margin. The reason of the victory is 

 very simple, and the result was but a natural sequel of the 

 careful attention to detail which has marked the work of the 

 Californians from the very start. The team shoots the Spring- 

 field United States Army .45-calibre rifle, but in place of 

 using the regulation seventy grains of powder with 420 grains 

 of ball, a disproportion which tends to throw many of the 

 bullets over the target, the Californians have set out on an 

 independent line of experiment regarding ammunition, and 

 more powder with heavier bullets is the general practice of 

 the team. At the 200-yards range, in off-hand work, the 

 Pioneer State men enjoy but slight advantage over the other 

 teams, the superiority of weapon and amiuimiiiou at that 

 range being hardly appreciable j but at the 500-yards dis- 

 tance, where the finer details of the art of target practice 

 come into play, the preliminary study of the team stood in 

 good service, and, despite a provoking rear wind, the men 

 clung to the bull's-eye with most persistent pluck. The 

 winning score of last year, when the Connecticut marksmen 

 took the bronze with 829 points, was left very tar in the rear. 

 A score of 995 in a possible 1,200 is very fair for military- 

 work. The scores of ihe several State teams stood s 

 California Team— Springfield Rifle.
