[March 2, 1882. 



CONLm'S* GALLERY.— The] rifle" tournament which has beenlin 

 progress at Coniin's rifle and pistol gallery, 1,255 Broadway, corner 

 Thirty -first street, was brought to a close Feb. 18. It proved a great 

 success both in popularity and good shooting. The tournament offered 

 every class of ritle-shooters an opportunity. 



Ten prizes were offered for the ten (10) best targets made with rifle 

 held strictly off-hand, witli the under arm free from body. 



The same number of prizes were offered for the ten (10) best targets 

 made with rifle held in anv standing position without artificial rest. 

 Five prizes were given to the competitors making the best score with 

 rifle in any position or rest. The latter was termed the "go as you 

 please" match," and its novelty made it a great favorite. Almost all 

 of the competitors for the other prizes took a trial at the "go as you 

 please," and the wav they went was hard to follow. Positions and 

 rests were invented and brought into use which would have puzzled 

 the most acrobatic of Oeedmoor long-range marksmen. Coniin's 

 ready measurement targets were used. It enabled the shooters to 

 measure each shot from centre of bullseye to centre of shot very ac- 

 curately, and the target having the least total measurement was 

 judged the best. Any 22-100 calibre rifle was allowed. 



The following name and scores show the winners of the respective 

 kinds of shooting :

The position in rifle-shooting offered a more severe test on the 

 shooter's steadiness and nerve than in using the position with body 

 rest. The score made in the match compares favorably with any of 

 the past records. The deliberate aim match was a very "close contest, 

 and the scores of the winners will deserve the trophies which they won. 



ALB ANY.— Third match for""the"Maynard rifle at Rensselaerwyck. 

 When the practice commenced yesterday, the light was dazzling 

 bright, and the reflection from the snow, which covered the range 

 and the hills beyond, made sighting extremely difficult. The outlines 

 of the targets were hardly visible, while the bullseye was more indis- 

 tinct than" tin '•::::<. ,:t"n|>: >■.: .e.- i ' e'e' .■ ■._■ ■■ ! I ■' . v, e e r lie ::eov 



on the lulls near the targets. To add to the difficulty a fickle fish tail 

 wind was blowing, requiring careful watching and constant changes 

 of elevation and wind to keep anywhere near the centre. An hour 

 was spent in preliminary pool practice, which resulted satisfactorily. 

 Toward the close of the match it was quite uncertain who would win, 

 "and the fate of the match depended upon the last shot. Mr. L. Geiger 

 got a bull on his final round, which gave him the lead by a point, and, 

 notwithstanding the handicap of a point against him, he retired a 

 winner. The details of the match were as follows:

LITTLE FALLS, N. J., Feb. 23.— The following pigeon shooting 

 match took place Feb. 22 among the old acquaintances of Little Falls, 

 and a merry day was spent. Mr. H. B. Walker and Mr. John Hopping, 

 of Hanover, were present, and scored well among the shooters. We 

 were all surprised to see Mr. Walker with his old broken gun. He 

 used it all day: and when Mr. Baxter, of New York, who kept score 

 for us, told him his gun was played out, he replied, "I will stand by 

 my old gun as long as I can make the score I have to-day." Messrs. 

 Spier, Walker and Townley tied for first. To shoot it out, Walker 

 started by killing his first bird, when they found they had fallen short 

 of birds; so, the first prize being $100. they were all willing to divide 

 this among the three best. Walker's first bird making four, he was 

 entitled to $60, and $40 was divided among Messrs. Townley and 

 Spier. The score was as follows: 



JSmith 10—1 J Walker 11—2 



J Chapman 10 1—2 C Townley 11 1—3 



P Chapman 1 1 0—3 J Hopping 1 1 0—2 



H B Walker Ill 1—4 T Foxall 1 00—1 



Wm. Bunn 0—0 Peter Spier 11 1—3 



Earlier a match had been shot for $40; 10 birds each, as follows: 

 Wm. Bunn, 0101101110—6; Peter Spier, 0000010000—1.

THE TRAP IN SPPJNGFIELD.-Springfield, Mass., Feb. 1882.-The 

 interest taken here m the trap, and in glass ball shooting, shows pleas- 

 ant evidence m the preparations which the Rod and Gun Club Glass 

 Ball Association have made for the ensuing season. Near the close of 

 last year's field days, the need of a shooting house and somewhat 

 closer rules and perfected system, was mai ifest to all the fraternity 

 ■A subscription paper was readily ii lied and to-day the association 

 have a fine shooting house erected. 30x12, with a piazza eight feet 

 broad, well heated and furnished. Trap-pit, Hnlden and Bogardus 

 traps— pulling stand and lever— and the whole paraphanaliain perfect 

 shape, and nearly paid for. A full line of prizes has been promised 

 forthe coming season, which will be opened the first Tuesday in March.

 and good scores. —
