used, and the rifle was loaded as described above. It will be noted 

 that a three cent piece will cut over sis of the bullet holes and the 

 center of the bullseye. This is not a "dude target," according to 

 Maj. Merrill's definition. The center of the bullseye is not an indefi- 

 nite point, but was plainlv marked with a cross before the shooting 

 began. The string is as follows: .81, .24. .28, .80, .39, .43, .56, .98, 1.02. 

 1.09=51*; inches. 1 am aware that this target is not as fine as the 

 Gove target published by Maj. Merrill some time since, but it must 

 be taken into consideration that it was shot with a light gun, without 

 cleaning, and no artificial rest was used. By shooting from a dead 

 rest a closer target could be made. 



The breechloader is eminently fit to do the finest work at target, as 

 the inside of the barrel is open to inspection at all times. E. A. L.

BOSTON. March 22.— The delightful spring weather of to day was 

 perfect for outdoor sports, and manv riflemen who have failed to 

 visit their favorite range. Walnut Hill, during the recent miserable 

 weather, were out in force, crowding the shooting cottage and keep- 

 ing the targets busy from early mom till sundown. Perfect as was 

 the weather overhead, it was also grand for shooting purposes, both 

 wind and light being verv satisfactory, the former easy to control 

 and the latter giving a soft, pleasant color to the paper and iron tar- 

 gets. The leading scores were all at 20oyds.

FIRE LOW.— The correspondent at Tonquin have been investigat- 

 ing the tendency of the Chinese troops to fire low in action as the 

 many leg wounds among the French troops showed was the habit, 

 and one wno is well qualified to judge says: "The reason why the 

 Black Flags and their allies fire low is due to the fact that the bulk of 

 the Chinese had no idea of the use of the sights on the rifles, and it 

 was almost useless to attempt to teach them the value of such con- 

 trivances. Thus, a Chinese soldier, armed with a modern rifle, 

 would never think of raising the sight of his weapon when he was 

 called upon to use it, especially in the face of on enemy. He would 

 fire at an object 600 yards off with the sight down, the consequence 

 being that, the muzzle of the rifle not receiving tbe necessary eleva- 

 tion to carry the bullet over a long distance, the ball would strike or 

 descend very close to the ground before it reached its destination. 

 It was also asserted that some of the Chinese soldiers actually 

 knocked the sights off their rifles as being useless."

 Association ended on Monday evening last, with the Frelinghuysen 



Total, 465. Th e Frelinghuysen lead in the five tournaments 18 points. 

 The last match will be shot on the Warren Range. 



LOADING CARTRIDGES.-I notice that "W. M. F.," in answer to 

 "G F W "in relation to loading rifle cartridges, says: 'in no case 

 compress the powder." Can any one inform me why ? I have been 

 crowding 45ms. of powder into a .44-cal. Winchester shell de- 

 signed for 40grs., and find it increases the penetration, at least with 

 a freshly-loaded shell, which was the object turned at. Is it danger- 

 ous to compress powder, and can compressed powder always be de- 

 pended upon to give the same result at every shot?— H. C.-b. 



A NEW GUN CLUB.— A gun club has been recently organized at 

 Perth Amboy, N. J., for glass ball and clay-pigeon practice.

WORCESTER. Mass., March 20.— The series of matches between 

 the South End and the Woodland Gun clubs ended , to-day by a vic- 

 tory for the Woodlands. There were five men to each side. Each 

 man had a possible 20 before birn. The glass balls were thrown in 

 strings of five each. The result was a victory for the Woodlands, 

 as the clubs had each won a game, although the totals of each club 

 at the close of to-day's shooting were the same, 200 out of a possible 

 300 points. The following is the details of to-day's work:

BOSTON GUN CLUB TOURNAMENT.— The convenient grounds 

 at Wellington, on .the 19th, found assembled representatives from 

 nearly all the important shooting clubs in the New England States 

 to contest the different events fc'hich had previously been advertised 

 to take place. Fine weather opened up the day's shooting, but a 

 threatening shower gradually interfered with 'fine scores. Notwith- 

 standing this, however, a large number of Mother Earth's chickens 

 returned to roost, quite satisfied, doubtless, that tournament days are 

 bad days to be out. A very large number of visitors were present, 

 particularly during the medal shoot. The medal itself is considered 

 a fine piece' of workmanship, being simply a gold clay-pigeon pendant 

 from an ornamental bar, while below is another bar of beautiful 

 ornamental design.

THE LIGOWSKY TOURNAMENT.— In reply to inquiries it is 

 stated that the rule l^oz. shot should read l)^oz. per Dixon's mea- 

 sure, 1106 or 1107. 



Sportsmen attending this tournament will probably have the op- 

 portunity of talcing in a general shooting circuit. The Chicago sports- 

 men are organizing a live bird shoot to precede the tournament, the 

 Louisville shooters have already issued an attractive programme to 

 follow same, and now the Cincinnati shooters are talking of a fourth 

 tournament immediately after that at Louisville. 



w sportsmen _.. 



to Chicago, and upon presentation of a certificate from our executive 

 committee, is furnished a ticket home at % regular rate. I expect to 

 get the same concession from all the roads at their next meeting 

 about April 15. All clubs contemplating attending the tournament 

 should not fail to enter by said date, as it will materially assist me in 

 obtaining a like reduction from all other roads.
