MANCHESTER, N. H., June 20— The Manchester Rifle Association 

 have commenced practicing on the Massachusetts decimal target, in 

 their off hand shooting and thus far like it very well, and unless the 

 ingenuity of target makers bring forth something with strong points 

 in its favor, we shall probably adopt it for our match shooting in the

RIFLE NOTES.-Janaes S. Conliu has opened his shooting gallery 

 for the season, at Leland's Ocean Hotel, Long Branch. He is person- 

 ally in charge and gives instructions in shooting aud bowling without 

 charge — A high power musket of small-arm caliber is the subject of 

 some important experiments by the Naval Bureau of Ordnance. This 

 musket fires a steel bullet in place of the ordinary leaden bullet, and 

 an initial velocity of two thousand feet per second has been attained 

 with it. This new small-arm will, it is thought, be capable of piercing 

 the sides of torpedo boats and cruisers. 



OTTAWA, Ontaria, June 22.— It is rumored thatLieut.-Col. Landry, 

 member of Parliament, owing to adverse criticisms in military cir- 

 cles, has decided to withdraw from the command of the Wimbledon 

 team. Col. Ross, of the Governor- General's Foot Guards, it is said, 

 has been tendered the command, and will probably accept it. 



THE TRAP. 



Correspondents who favor us with club scores are particularly re- 

 quested to write on one side of the paper only. 



N. G. A. TOURNAMENT. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The preliminary arrangements for above tournament are progress- 

 ing favorably. Pastime Park, which has been secured for the occasion, 

 is probably the best inclosure for such an affair as can be procured 

 anywhere. The park has been laid out and is used exclusively for 

 all outdoor sports, such as shooting matches, dog races, lawn tennis, 

 base ball, etc. There is an open level ground of nearly 400yds. square, 

 so that five or six different sets of traps can be worked at the same 

 tmie. The grounds are reached from depot on Seventh and Greene 

 streets in about ten minutes, and trains run every ten or fifteen min- 

 utes, so that prohably no shooting grounds can be reached as handily 

 as this one from the center of any other large city. 



The executive committee for 1 his shoot has corresponded with all 

 the manufacturers of tne various targets besides the clay-pigeon, 

 and there is no doubt that all the different targets will be repre 

 sented. The Association has proposed to these manufacturers to take 

 twenty or inore shares of the stock, and so assist the Association and 

 financially interest themselves in the future welfare of it. Under 

 these circumstances the success of the National Association would 

 be assured, and a bright future opened for harmonious actions of the 

 large body of American trap shooters. 



All the different manufacturers have nrouaised to be on hand, and 

 look favorably upon the proposition to financially interest themselves 

 in the "National," which business will come up at the meeting of the 

 Association at the Girard House on the evening of June 30. It will be 

 a gaj sight to have a set of each of the different traps and birds to 

 work at the same time. The first day of the tournament. July 1, 

 will be open to all. All open shoots will be like the others, classified 

 and pro rate, but five per cent, will be taken out by the Association 

 for expanses. 



The programme for the first day will comprise one or more sweeps 

 each at the various targets represented, seven birds per man, three 

 dollars entrance, and one live bird shoot from five ground traps, 

 seven birds and fifteen dollars entrance. The detailed programme 

 for the following three days wiU be divided at the meeting June 30 at 

 the Girard House. It will be somewhat a repetition of the first day's 

 programme. 



There will be each day one or mote shoots open only to men who 

 have never won a prize in a State or inter-state shoot, and besides 

 the executive committee will have power to bar any expert from 



these shoots, so that the amateurs will have a chance to shoot among 

 their equal. 



Extra sweepstakes with one, two arid three dollars entrance, will be 

 shot constantly to keep all hands busy. 



There is no doubt that this will prove the most interesting toiirnev 

 yet held. J. voN Lenberre, for Executive Committee N. G; A. 



Editor Forest and Streams 



As this will be your issue immediately preceding the second .inter- 

 State tournament of the N. G, A., to be held at Pastime Park, Phiia 

 delptna, July 1 to 4, both inclusive, permit mo to briefly call the at- 

 tention of sportsmen thereto-, and more especially the following 

 points-) 



First— Any one can join the Association on the grounds and partici- 

 pate at once in the tournament. 



Second - Members are reminded that a most important meeting wijl 

 be held at the Girard House, Philadelphia, on Tuesday, June 30, 8 P. 

 M„ which all are urgently invited to attend. The selection of a new 

 general manager will be the principal business. Other questions of 

 importance will be discussed. The programme, as regards the vari- 

 ous targets to bo used, will be arranged and new members received. 



Third— Members who do not attend the tournament are reminded 

 as to the Fourth cf July telegraphic match, 3 P. M., conditions an- 

 nounced in the hand book, with the following change: Send your 

 scores per telegram to J. Von Leugerke, Girard House, Philadelphia. 

 The latter will be the chief executive office of the tournament, as- 

 sisted principally by T. P. Greger, of Philadelphia, and numerous 

 other members. 



Fourth— Among those who have been successively suggested as 

 nominees for the office, of general manager are, C. M. Stark, of Win- 

 chester, Mass ; Frank Drake, of Bradford, Penn.; J. C. Lineman of 

 Bradford, and A. W. Du Bray, of Newport, Kv.. auy one of whom 

 would doubtless till the office to the satisfaction of the members. The 

 three just named have thus far declined in flattering terms, on the 

 ground principally of other ann pressing business. Mr. Du Bray has 

 kindly consented to the use of his name for the posit'on , at the urgent 

 solicitation of such men as Messrs. Bandle, Lokan. et, al. He is a 

 keen sportsman, a thorough worker, and one who will doubtless do 

 justice to al). It is to be hoped that members attending the meeting 

 will be prepared to nominate such others as thev may deem worthy 

 and as may be willing to accept the position if elected. 



When participating in this tournament, every member should feel 

 it as much his tournament as any other man's; and therefore he 

 should lend a hand in assisting the managers, in expediting matches, 

 acting as volunteer judges, etc., or in any other capacity on the 

 grounds where he sees he can make himself useful or aid in increas- 

 ing the mutual enjoyment of all concerned. To the Philadelphia 

 sportsmen who are not as yet members we would say that most of 

 our members who visit your city do so for the first time. It is there 

 fore to be hoped that you will '-do as you would be done by" uuder 

 similar circumstances, so that when they say adieu every one of you 

 will feel that you have dune your share toward rendering their slay 

 pleasant aud agreeable in nil respects. You may not have the occa- 

 sion so to do for years. Therefore, if there be any bickering among 

 yourselves on various topics (which it is needless liere to mention), it 

 is to be hoped you will lay them aside for this occasion, and duly 

 maintain together the old timed hospitality for which Philadelphia is 

 famous. J. Bloom, Manager N. G. A.

JERSEY CITY HEIGHTS.— The open to all union shoot last Sat' 

 urday at the grounds of the Jersey City Heights Gun Club at Marion, 

 was again a very enjoyable affair, and the popularity of these shoots 

 seems to increase with every weekly shoot; They wdll be kept fin 

 throughout the summer months, and the one o'clock Saturday clos- 

 ing movement will surely add a great many to the already respect 

 able list of regular visitors. The following were some of the sweeps 

 shot under National rules, AS it is always at the Option oP the shoot- 

 ers whether to enter for the money purses or not; a number of con 

 testants shoot for the price of birds only.

CHESTER, Pa., June 15 —For some time past the members of the 

 Thomas L. Briggs Gun Club, of Chester, have been making arrange- 

 ment* for their second contest with the Wawassett Gun Club, of Wil- 

 mington. The match took place yesterday near Ninth and Kerlin 

 streets, and resulted in a victory for the Chesterians. The contest 

 opened by shooting at glass balls. P. Amboid led off for the Wil- 

 mington team in a way that looked as though the Delawareans might 

 get away with the prize, but Billy Gibbs tied his score on balls and 

 beat him on pigeons. The contest went rapidly on, and was watched 

 with great interest by the large crowd that had collected. The score 

 follows: 



Wawassett Gun Club. Briggs Gun Club.
