July 6.— The military men in this vicinity sometimes 

 a desire to the managers of the Rensselaerwyck range 

 be provided at the distance corresponding to I he first si _ 

 ternarional niilitary match. A match of that character was accord- 

 ingly put upon the programme for this afternoon. Probably owing 

 to the fact, that nearly all the military men had taken part in the 

 match on the 4th inst., the attendance was not so large as might be 

 expected at a match of similar nature, which will be shot later in the 

 month. However, there was a. sufficient number present, to opeu the 

 match, and it was accordingly begun at the appointed time. The 

 clouds, which had been heavy for the past, three days, were begin- 

 ning to disappear under the influence ot the strong wind which was 

 blowing, and the sun shone out brilliantly just, before the match was 

 called. The competitors were all members of the,Tenth Separate 

 Battalion, and had won a place on the battalion team, which they 

 will represent at Creedmoor next fall. The shooting was strong, and 

 some first-class scores were put up. With such men to represent the 

 battalion there can be no doubt hut that a creditable showing v. ill be 

 made in the fall.

MINNEAPOLIS. June 6. — Unlike other cities of its size i 1 1 

 is somewhat behind the times as regards field and aquatic sports. In 

 almost every city or town in the country two or three organizations 

 havingas an object social, athletic and sporting amusement are in 

 esisteDBo, and are made successful from the fact that the citizens in 

 general take sufficient interest te make them so. Li this city, how- 

 ever, clubs are formed and arrangements made which promise to 

 make everything boom pertaining to the organization, but from one 

 cause or another sufficient enthusiasm or interest is not awakened, 

 and bev.md holding annual meetings the clubs formed are seldom 

 heard of. As an exception to this rule, however, is the intere-.--.r cai-am 

 by the members of the Minneapolis Rifle Club, which stands among 

 the organizations of its kind throughout the country to the front 

 rani:, both as to skill and membership. The club, which under vari- 

 ous names and a half-formed organisation esistetl and met monthly 

 and semi-monthly for seven or eight years for rirle practice, was re- 

 organized on April 7. 1880, under the name of the Minneapolis Ride 

 Club. The charter members were; C. M. Skinner. Frank J. Horan, 

 J. H. Gallison, I. N. Hoblif, Ole Quam. Joseph R. Hofflin, A. F. Elliot, 

 E. Bachner, J. W. Hankinson, Cale Maudlin, Andrew Slatten. 



The understanding was that the club should he formed for one 

 year as a preliminary organization, and at the end of that time the 

 question of a permanent organization could be better settled. At the 

 meeting held at. that time, A. F. Elliot, was electee President. Ole 

 Quam, Vice-President; 0. M. Skinner. Secretary; E. Bachner, Treas- 

 urer, and C. M. Skinner, F. J. Horan and 0. Blaudlin, directors. 



A constitution and by-laws were adopted and on duly 7 a club house 

 was erected and a range secured on the river bank near theUniver- 



Fr'omthat time up to the present day the club has met with unpre- 

 cedented success, which is due to the active part taken by the mem- 

 bers. 



At the annual meeting held April <i. :-'-]. - : -- s access of the preced- 

 ing year caused the forming of a permanent organization, with A. 

 F. 'Elliot President, C. M. Skinner Secretary and Treasurer, and 0. 

 Maudlin, I. N. Hoblit and Ole Quam directors. During the year past 

 the membership was increased, and the tine shooting done by the 

 club at their weekly shoots attracted the at leu. ion of olher ride 

 clubs, and challenges were received and accepted. Although the 

 majority of the members of the clab ere more skillful at long-range 

 ootine rei ill bui two meTnbera are regarded as crack shots at 

 sbort-ran^e off-hand shooting. During the "i from the 



idub attended the meeting of the rifle clubs of Illinois. Iowa. Michi- 

 gan Wisconsin and Minnesota, held at, Milwaukee m May last, took 

 part, in the tournament, and joined the Western Rifle Association. 



The team carried off the second prize of the tournament for team 

 Shooting, and one of its members. Cale Maudlin, was awarded the 

 hip medal for the best individual long-range score, made 

 during the tournament, Mr. Maudlin making a score of 142 at the 

 three ranges out of a possible 150, and lafeatmg \ B. icrnll. of the 

 George H Thomas Rifle Club of Gh is- . potato. Af ter their 



retnrn from the tournament a team went to the BchutzOfizi h lata 

 5 shooting at short ranges. In subsequent 

 matches with the St. Paul Club, hi three out of four matches they de- 

 feated their opponents at '.Viuyds. off-hand shooting. The club also 

 . i ie Milwaukee and George II. "- b . I Chicago at 



. . matches, and w ere defeated by the Y, a . 

 at a" short-range match.
