MANCHESTER, N. H., May 16.— The spring meeting of the Man- 

 chester Rifle Association closed this afternoon, although the Qrst two

BOSTON, May 16.— There was only a fair attendance atWalntat 

 Hill to-day, and high scores were made well nigh impossible by a 

 very bad wind that was blowing from the direction of 3 o'clock. A 

 team match was shot with PittshV],!, and the score sent by mail to be 

 published later. The following are the best scores:

THE CANADIAN MILITIA ORGAN-The militia forces of the 

 Dominion of Canada, numbering some 37,000, of whom about 5,000 

 are on active service in the Northwest, have at present no organ of 

 their own in which to keen constantly before the public, and before 

 each other, their wants and aims. It has therefore been deemed 

 advisable to establish at Ottawa, the headquarters of the militia 

 force, a weekly periodical styled Tlie Canadian. Mili'ia Gazette, in 

 order that through its influence the several branches of the • ervice 

 ma' obtain at the hands of the Canadian public that consideration 

 to which, they are justly entitled. The new journal is a very credit- 

 able one, and its low subscription price of $1.50 per year ought to 

 bring it within the reach of all.

THE SPRINGFIELD TOURNAMENT. 



THE tournament of the National Gun Association at Springfled, 0., 

 extended from May 5 to May 9, and displayed some good shoot- 

 ing. The programme, with but few exceptions, was carried out with 

 good management. Winners took the prizes in all cases with either 

 perfect scores or very close bids to perfection. The handicapping 

 gave rise to some discussion, and will need to be most carefully 

 watched in the future. The record of the tournament in the order of 

 matches stood as follows, 10-gauge guns being used, except where 

 otherwise noted; distances in parenthesis:

A number of extra matches, sweepstakes and freeze-outs followed 

 in doubles and singles, live and clay-pigeons, and some of them were 

 well contested with good scores. The winners were Stiee, Watkins, 

 Teipel, AlleD, Sheldon, E. Bogardus, Perry, Kelly, etc. In all, about 

 thirty of these extra matches were shot. There were many incidents 

 of the tournament wnich went to break up the monotony of the 

 regular match work. 



Gene Boeardus amused the crowd by shooting, with a Winchester 

 rifle, half-dollars, nickels and coppers tossed into the air. One gen- 

 tleman contributed a half-dollar coin of ancient date to be marked 

 by the young marksman's bullet, but the coin was sent whizzing into 

 returnless space, so to speak. 



Messrs. Stark and Teipel gave an extra exhibition of practical hunt- 

 ing after two killdees that happened to alight on the grounds. Two 

 shots by Teipel— lost birds. 



Captain Bogardus matched himself to shoot 100 clay-pigens in six 

 minutes. He succeeded in breaking 109 in five minutes. The birds 

 were tossed by hand. 



There were important changes made in the rules at the business 

 meeting. In ;the handicap for winners the maximum was fixed at 

 18yds. instead of 20, thus abolishing former rules tor future tourna- 

 ments. The handicap on guns remains essentially the same. Live
