WIMBLEDON.— The entire meeting has been a grand success in 

 scores, in crowds, in order and most important, in weather. The 

 Council have shown a wise liberality in giving an attractive prize 

 list, and that it was appreciated the increased entry lists demon- 

 strated. A novelty was the revolver match, and one critical observer 

 who stood by says": "For the first, time at Wimhledon, a competition 

 was commenced with the revolver. This deadly little weapon has 

 never received in this country the attention it deserves, and as a con- 

 sequence we are not only far less skillful in its use than any other 

 nation, but our service weapon is infei-ior to thatof any other power. 

 The range was 30yd9. only at a target 13in. in diameter with a 3in. 

 bull. Out of those who fired manj never touched the 12ln, disc, while 

 Other.s only succeeded after d.^rellinK on their aim in a fashion that 

 would hardly have been practicable in front of a Zulu or an Arab, 

 In getting one or two through the pasteboard. The poor practice 

 demonstrated the necessity of some such stimulus to revolver-shoot- 

 ing as a Wimbledon competition will give, and it is to be hoped tliat 

 next year it may be aade a more important feature of the meeting. 



RlFLE NOTES.— The Hillside, Mass., Club shot a telegraphic match 

 Aug 1 with the Jamestowm, N. Y., Club, which resulted in favor of 

 the jamosiowns by a score of 200 to 388. . . .A, C. White, of Worcester, 

 made a fine score at Walnut Hill on Saturday last, five consecutive 

 scores in the decimal match were^ 77, 81, 84. 85, 86, This is considered

 Walnut" HUl to send a team to the fall meeting of the National Rifle 

 AssociatioTi at Creedmoor, . . .The Boston Press men shot a match on 

 Attg 1 with the Hillside Rifle Clidj, 9 men a side, Creed moor t^arget. 7

' BEENE, Switzerland, July 20.— The great national shooting tourna- 

 ment and festival of Switzerland began to-day under the most favor- 

 able auspices. Ten thousand workmen p^irtook of a mighty dinner 

 in the open air, with gigantic shade trees for the walls and ceiling of 

 their Titanic banqueting hall, and responded with rousing cheers to 

 a variety of pa.riotic toasts and speeches. After the banquet a few 

 preliminary rounds were shot off, but the more serious business of 

 the touraameat will begin lo -morrow. This is the second of the 

 series of similar events airanged for this summer, being sandwiched 

 in between the recent great meeting at Bingen-on-the-Rhine and the 

 coming mtei-national tournament, which opens at Innspruck, Austria, 

 on the 7th of niext month.
