RANGE AND GALLERY. 



BOSTON, June AS.— There was a good attendance at Walnut Hill 

 to-day, and Considerable shooting done iu the different, matches. 

 The fact that the present matches, which have been running since 

 Fast day, are to close on July 4, served to bring our a good company 

 of shooters who found good shooting conditions. Tn addition to the 

 regular matches a team shoot was had by telegraph with the Man- 

 chester "Rilie Club. In this match the Massachusetts '-steer' ' team 

 was beaten by eight points. Mr. Francis made an elegant score of -18 

 on a paper target, which would have counted 85 decimal, and Mr. 

 Fellows closed with a 40. the best possible. Mr. Perkins proved his 

 quality as a shooter by holding off for a 47 in both the practice and 

 Creedmoor matches. On Wednesday next the shotgun men will try 

 conclusions. The best scores made were as follows:

THE TRAP. 



Correspondents who favor us with club scores art particxilarly re- 

 quested to write on one side of the paper only. 



PROPOSED TOURNAMENT. 



To ihe Liun Clubs: 



It is our opinion that gun club contests, if properly presented to the 

 public, can be made sufficiently interesting to eventually place this 

 sport on a broad national footing, similar to base ball. Therefore, 

 with this end in view, it is our intention to organize clay-pigeon tour- 

 naments in the principal cities, provided you give us your co-opera- 

 tion. The general plan we desire to pursue is outlined in the follow- 

 ing; if the offer is accepted, we guarantee to spend at least $250 in 

 organizing and advertising same, etc., etc. ; if this proves a success 

 we will follow same very shortly with a tournament at Boston, Phila- 

 delphia, Washington, Pittsburgh, Bradford, Buffalo, Cleveland, St. 

 Louis, Cincinnati, Nashville, etc.: 



A two days' programme will be held at New York city, Aug. 1 and 

 2, 1884, provided at least 10 teams of 3 from organized clubs will enter 

 for the principal contests by July 9, by remitting $10, part of entrance 

 fee, to the undersigned. The principal contest will be: Entrancefee. 

 $25; teams of 3 from any duly organized gun club, 10 single clay- 

 pigeons, 18yds. rise: 5 doubles, 15yds. rise; Ligowsky rules (June, 

 1884) to govern: the singles to be shot the first day, doubles the sec- 

 ond day (to be followed daily by sweepstakes). The purse will be 

 divided as follows: To the winning team the whole of "the entrance 

 fee if only 10 teams arc entered: if more than 10. then to the winning 

 team $250. and the residue to be divided into 50. 30 and 20 per cent, 

 (if the entries be 30 or less), as second, third and fourth prizes: if 

 over 20 entries, the residue to be divided into four prizes, viz., 40, 30, 

 20 and 10 per cent. If less than 30 clubs are represented, then any 

 club may enter as many teams of 3 as it sees fit; clubs aud member's 

 of teams must be of at least 30 days' standing as such. Gate money 

 (if any) to go to management. If the gate money exceeds the ex- 

 penses, we. guarantee to donate said excess as special prizes at the 

 next tournament given under our auspices. Initial entrance money 

 will be returned unless 10 teams enter before July 9; if they do so 

 enter, the undersigned will at once secure grounds, advertise the 

 shoot, etc. An early reply will oblige,
