THE TRAJECTORY TEST. 



Eililoi- Fon-.sf and Stream; 



AlLboiiuh I cm bardly hope towituess anypart of the ooiiresnplated 

 tesU mv Interpsi iu it will be none the less, and I shall await the. re- 

 sult witli uo lit Ue anxiety. In earlier Hfe, the rifle was my favorite 

 •n-e:!).)!,):! for parlridg-c and squirrel huntiDe, and many a mile and 

 rtiaiiy a srei ti niniinUim ^ido h ive I tramped over in purpuir of game, 

 .Tnd eallfd irplensiu'o, and so it « as. Even now, though more than 

 fifty ytra's have passsii, it is pleai^anc to recall scenes and events that 

 cliiimeii my thoua-hts and effortK in those long passed days. 



The f-ioi:.5 thui are to he brnught out by tlie trajectory test are the 

 ve'y thluf.s that, rille .sbooti'i-.'; want to know. NVlth the true t'-ajec- 

 tory of a hunter's ritte e^taijlislned. an important point in shooting is 

 gained; all else dep?)ids in a .threat measure on the slcill of the one 

 iising it. 



So don't waver in any dej^ree from your first proposition, ho matter 

 h.dw many advisory eimimuniciitions the mail may bring you. If 

 ethers w ish to test HgLt rillos or heavy rides, hair triggers or ten 

 jiound pulls, naked ijnU^ or co-^ered balls, open or covered" isights, or 

 iiny oth^ r of the many questions that are being discussed, let them

Editor Forest and Stream: 



There never was a more sensible proposition made than your 

 sidieme on the trajectory of rifles, and 1 am satisfied the test will be 

 square. I have utibonnded eunfLdenee in the promote-TS of the test. 

 Mo doubt there will be some disappointed rifle manufacturers and 

 agents growlinsr after the decision is given, but neverthf less 1 am 

 going to stand liy the FoRtssT and Stream. Caberfeigh.

THE CREEDMOOR MEETING. 



SEPT. 111. -The i;^Hi annual meeting of the JSTational Eiflo Associa- 

 tion of America began to dav at Greedmoor. The attendance 

 was raitoli large;- t han it has been for several years, for besides the 

 usual nttmb'']- of ridenien from the National Guard of New York, 

 tbijrf were more than 100 United States regulars in attendance, and a 

 Dintiber of offleers and men from the Pennsylvania ajid Massachu- 

 setts mil! ia. The visitin; riflemen camped on the range, in the long 

 lines of white tents. Gen. Charles F. Eobhins was executive officer, 

 assisted by Colonels Bridge and Bodine, Lieut Col. Eonllier, Major 

 Brown, ijapi. Charles Smith and Lieut. E. L. Zaltnski. Capt. G. 

 He.nry Witthans was statistical officer, and Colonel Rodney C. Ward, 

 as treasurer, i eeeivexl the money for entrance fees. Notwithstandmg 

 the high wind, the shootiua ijroved unusually good. No matches 

 were finished during the day, but all the open contests began with 

 good spirit: and with prospect of good work before the end of the 

 rnectiug. 



Sept. If.— The shooting at the Creedmoor range to-day was excel- 

 lent. The w earner was perfect and some very high scores were made. 

 This w^as especially the case iu the .ludd andArriiyandNai-ijJovrnal 

 matches, Firing eonimenci'd in the matches at 7 A. M and contiuned 

 until 5'30 P. M. This allo A'ed the ridemen an hour and a* half longer 

 in which lo shoot, and great satisfaction w as expressed at the new 

 arrangement. In the extra hour tiefore breakfast some of the best 

 shooting of the day was done. The morning was enlivened by a 

 oeautifally executed skirmish match, participated in by the mem- 

 bers of the regular army at present on the gTound, of whom there 

 are quite a large number. This match was under the direction of the 

 military authorities, and had nothing whatever to do with the 

 Natinnal K He Association. Tlie soldiers in their handsome uniforms 

 presented a striking .appearance, and the evolutions were carried out 

 perfectly. The matches shot were the Directors', the .Judd All 

 Comers' and Marksmen's Badirc, Arnri/ aud Nary Jovriial, Chambers 

 Street, Governor's, and Short-Ranee Team. None of tiiese were 

 finished with the exceiiiion of the .ludd match, wliich is won by I,,ient. 

 H. E. Anderson, rif iht Fourth United States AitiUery, with a score 

 of b'i out of a iJOs-:ible 70, 



Sept. 18.— Great enthusiasm prevailed at CreeJin.3or to day, being 

 the third day of the fall meeting of the National Rifle Association, 

 and moreover the day on which those matche.s were to be shot that 

 are of the most interest to members of the National Guard. Conse- 

 qnenfl.v there was a lar.ee attendance, theS:'!d, 13th, 14th and 7t.h Reg- 

 iments being especially wed represented. When the boys of the gal- 

 lant 5.3d found that teams from their regiment were the winners of 

 all the compe'ilions which tney had entered, their delight had no 

 bounds, and they made the woods arouna the range ring and ring 

 again with their hearty cheers. The officers of thedayivere: Sur- 

 geon. Major N. H. Henry, hath Regiment; range offlcei-s,' Major G. L. 

 Fox. 4th Brigade: Major Edward Dutfy, OQth Regiment; Captain H. S. 

 Steele, 7th: Captain ,1. L. Le Count, l7fb: Lieutenant ,1. F. Long, 7th; 

 Lieutenant F. T. I\lorgan, fith. and Lieutenant J, B. Cliristofel, 47th. 

 The matches to day were the Directors'. Continuous. Governors', 

 All Comers and :'.Iark-smen's Badge. Brooklyn Furniture Co., Short 

 Eange Team, New A'oik Stat© National Guard. First Division National 

 Guard, Second Division National Guard, The Army and ISTavy Journal 

 and Chambers Street. The shooting on tne whole was good, but in 

 the early part ol: the forenoon the weather was not favorable for 

 making high scores. The 23d Regiment team took the State match 

 with a score as follows: 



200yds. 500yds. Total. 



Twenty-tt ird Regiment 208 219 487 



Foi,ir[eeuth Regiment 224 245 469 



Twelfth Regiment 227 240 467 



Seventh Regunent 219 447 466 



In the First Division match the Twelfth Regiment won. making 4i« 

 to 436 by the Seventh Eegiment, and in the Second Division match 

 the Tw^enty-third beat the Fourteenth Regiment with a score of 478 

 to 457. The Brooklyn Furniture Co.'s match went to the Twenty- 

 third Regiment Team B, witih 23.3 against a score of 332 by a team of 

 the same regiment;, iu the tinal competition of the Regular Army 

 skirmish match, held imder the direction of the War Department, 

 Corporal Nihil is first wdtn a score of 159, and wins a medal. Sergeant 

 Powell is second with 134. Sergeant Free third, 98. and Lieutenant 

 Brown fourth, 63. 



Sept. 19.— The weather favored the riflemen at Creedmoor again 

 to day, althougn a trickj- southwest wind rendered it impossible to 

 obtain any remarkably fine scores. The attendance was about the 

 same <as during tho former days of the National Rifle Association 

 meetmg, and the competition among the marksmen very keen. The 

 offlcers of the day were as foUows: Executive officer. Gen. Charles 



F. Robijins: Assistant. Lieut. E. L. Zalinski: Statistical Ofdcer, Capt. 



G. U. Witthaus, of the Ninth Regiment; Surgeons, Major A. W. Ford 

 and Capt. A. W, Doty. In the early morning Gen. SneriUan's skirmish- 

 ers' match was shot for and won by the It'ourth Artiflery's team. 

 The iniernatioual match occupied the remainder of the 'morning 

 hours, and brought out teams from Pniladelphia. Massachusetts and 

 New A'ork, the. tirst team beiog the wianerslast year. The Pennsyl- 

 vanians left the 200yds. range with a lead over tiieir nearest competi- 

 tors, which they increased at the larger distance, and again carried 

 off the prize. The afternoon was devoted to the Shorkley match, the 

 entries comprising all the noted long-range experts present on the 

 ground. The first prize was won by George Joiner with a score of 1.33 

 pomts out of a possible 150, The leading scores were :

 Sepc 20,— To-uay \^-as ttie fifth day of the National Eitte Associ- 

 ation's fail meeting at Creedmoor, and in point of interest and at- 

 tendance was no exception to the precetUng days. When it was 

 announced mat tiie -'regulars" had captured the Hilton trophy by 

 outshooting tne 2\"ow York and Pennsylvania Stare teanas, the "boys 

 in blue made tne old hotel resound with their cheers. The Pennsyl- 



vania Slate teahl took its defeat gracefully, and the New York team 

 was pleased at getting second place. Out of a possible 1,360 poults 

 the regidars scored 997, the New Yorkers 1)88, and the Pennsvlvanians 

 957, The match was at 200, .'^00, and (iOOyds., 7 shots at each'distarce,

 member of the winning team. None of the other matches of the day 

 were decided, 



PALL OF ROUND BALL. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The following table shows the fall of the round ball (Peekskill trial) 

 for eacli yard up to lOyds. from the muzzle. To many the informa- 

 tion would bt! now and interesting no doubt, Pour years ago to-day 

 in FonEsT anu Stream you will see panlished the drops for the long 

 lahge rifle. 



The drops of the ball, under the law of gravity, are as the squares 

 of the times. Making 1yd. ^1 time, we have 10 times in 10yds. and 

 Uify stand thus!

THE GENESIS OF A RIFLE.— A pistol of decidedly clumsy appear- 

 ance, and with luUy as much brass as steel in its composition, was 

 left for a few minutes last evening at Klock's drug store, with several 

 other articles, by a gentleman who had some errands to do before 

 taking a horse car from the corner, and who asked permission to 

 temporarily relieve himself of tne load. During his absence several 

 visitors in the store handled the weapon, w hich,| although it was not 

 loaded, did no damage. The pecuMar make was the subject for con- 

 jecture for some time, untU the pistol was sho.vn to a leading mili- 

 tary man, w;ho immediately recognized it as one of the Tyler Henry 

 patent. "This pistol," said he, "works on the same principle as the 

 Winchester magazine gun. Of course many improvements have 

 been made since this pistol was manufactured, but the principal 

 features are the same. Thousands upon thousands of dollars have 

 been made from the invention, but the inventor received little benefit 

 from it. The late O. F. Winchester began the shirt business many 

 years ago on a very small scale, cutting out the garments whicn his 

 wife and other women put together. The busmess gradually in- 

 creased until Winchester & Davies built tor shirt manufacturing the 

 large factory ou Court street. The firm prospered, ana when Tvler 

 Henry produced his magazine pistol, he went lo Mr. Winchester, as a 

 leading capitalist and mannfactm-er, and proposed to sell him the 

 patent for S75,000. Mi-. Winchester offered him $50,000. buc the ott'er 

 was refused. Henry afterward offered to seU for $40,000 and Wm- 

 chester offered him $-,'5,000. No sale was made then; nor later when 

 the inventian was offered for $20,000 to the capitalist, who then 

 rednoed ,his. Jigures to $10,000. finally, Winchester bought the 



patent, paying Henry, I think, only $7,500. The first guns were 

 made on the ntodel known as 1866. Other models have been made 

 since, hut .ill conform very nearly to the original Henry model."—
