 No. 39 Park Row, N. Y. The match to be governed by the rules of the 

 N. R. A. relating to teams, 



The above tournament will be shot during tho month of March and 

 will be in many respect? similar to the contest carried on during the 

 winter of 1879 under the direction of this paper. The intention is to 



Eermit the team captains to fix upon a suitable gallery in which to 

 ave the records made, and there ought to be at least a dozen teams 

 contending for the mastery ana the eves. r. trophies now under pre- 

 paration. Several teams have already entered for the match, and a 

 number of other clubs are engaged in preparing teams. The date of 

 ■closing entries has not yet been decided upon, but will probably be 

 .within a fortnight, in order to enable the preliminary meeting of the 

 captains to be held, and the shooting to take place during the month 

 •of March. Newark ought to be heard from in this contest, to measure 

 lier strength against the crack gallery teams of tho metropolis. 



PISTOL SHOOTING. 



Boston, Mass. 

 JSditor Forest and Stream: 



In my opinion a good shot with any weapon will he amazed at the 

 proficiency that may be acquired by a" little practice, in the use of any 

 revolver of good make. In the first place one shotdd choose a re- 

 volver with a barrel at least sitt inches ui length, to seen re accuracy ir. 

 the flight of the ball; then the sights both front and rear should be ar- 

 ranged so as to suit the shooter, but both shotdd be open sights,easy and 

 quick to the eye. The trigger should bv set so that the forefinger will 

 discharge the weapon easily without drawing the muzzle from the line 

 of sight, and yet firm enough as to be perfectly safe for outdoor and 

 horseback exercises. 



With such a weapon one will be surprised at what can be done. I 

 subjoin herewith a tew of the shots that i made in 180S while a com- 

 missioner in Virginia, taken from a record that I then kept, and 

 although I feel that I could not do as well now, not having practiced 

 for many years, still I have the faith that I could do well — the same

Boston, Feb. 11.— The attendance of riflemen at the rang.' of the 

 Massachusetts Rifle Association at Walnut HU1 to-day was not very 

 large, notwithstanding Hue day was the first pleasant one that has 



greeted tn<- eye .: □ for four roriereutive weeks. However, w r hat is 



usually called a pleasant day may not be so desirable to the eager

 coldly down the ranee h,'-j the faces of the shooters, and very high 

 scores-were no* obtained. In the Creed-moor match Messrs. Baxter 

 and Burt each scoi e 1 a «, but as the former gentleman closed with a 

 5, while the tatter closed with a 4, Mr. Baxter takes front rank. In the 

 Novelty rest match Mr. Gardner's hi was the best score made, out- 

 ranking the 1)2 made by Mr. Fellows. In Bndtre match No. 7 tho prize

ROCHESTER, N. Y., Feb. 11.— There is a good prospect of a very- 

 interesting glass ball shootiug match in this vicinity before lone. Mr. 

 Luther, of Syracuse, father of Geo. D. Luther, a crack shot of the S '.ii 

 City, has sent notice to Rochester sportsmen that he will back hi; -.n 

 for from S100 to S500 in a shooting match against tiny man in Roches- 

 ter. Ho will also wager the same amount of money that his son and 

 two other Syracuse men can break more glass hulls man 11!IV three 

 men in this city. It is probable that the challenge will be accepted, 

 and it may be that both the individual match am! that between the 

 trios will take place. There has. been a rivalry of long standing be- 

 tween the sportsmen of this city and Syracuse, and the lalest project- 

 ed trial of skill with the shotgun is only one of main- that have been 

 recorded between the residents of the respective cities. Years ago 

 the representative men of either city at the trap were H.-th Green of 

 this city, and E. K. Garrison, of Syracuse. Whether :. ,, , ls ,, SUO ot bi- 

 tween individuals or between the Monroe county and Onondaga ' 

 comity clubs, Seth and Garrison were generally at lie front. Wo bo- '
