 their departure for home in the evening, well satisfied with their en- 

 tertainment and the meetinghere.

ALBANY. July 20.— The matches at Rensselaerwyck to-day drew 

 out quite a goodly number of riflemen and spectators. A half dozen 

 riflemen from Pittsfield were also on the ground, having come over 

 for an afternoon's recreation. The match on the Massachusetts 

 target, was commenced as soon as the entries were made. The wind 

 blew strong for the six o'clock- quarter, and nothing but a strong grip 

 to hold up against the wind could save, a man from getting a low 

 score. However, some respj ctable scores Wl re made, the hist place 

 going to Capt. Fitch, with 152 out of a possible 180; a lead of seven

July 22.— To-day the riflemen had excellent weather. The heat 

 was notjparticularly oppressive, the wind was light from the west 

 and S.W. and gave but little difficulty: a light cloud covered the sky, 

 and in the peculiar gray light the hullseve slood oul pr< minently. 

 All the matches filled very well and some good shooting was done 

 although perhaps it was not quite up to the average. It was expected 

 that a match would be shot between the Massachusetts Club and the 

 Wakefield, but the latter club could not get its men togethet.and 

 consequently the match was declared off. The following are the 

 scores made yesterday:
