NEW YORK ARMORY PRACTICE, 



THF new Adjutant General of this State is a great advocate of rifle 

 practice and the var.ous regiments are devoting much attention 

 '.o indoor work, many an ories have good ranges, some of them very 

 poor and illy adapted to the purpose intended One of the fines'; rifle 

 ranges in this country is to be tound at the 7th Regiment armory, at 

 Sixty-seventh street and L°xington avenue. The ranee is 800 fc-et 

 long and consists of *ix targets. The arrangements for marktr and 

 scorer are perfected by an amirable set of indicators Here, six 

 nights out of seven, the various companies of the regiment assemble 

 for drill and rifle p actice. On the latter, two hundred tbous-md 

 rounds of ammus l ion are expended annually. The number of rounds 

 shot in cne night has reached as high a 3,050 The molding, of the 

 bullets and the filling of the blank cartridges is all done in the building 

 under the direct supenntendency of M'-. Edwards, who h«s invented 

 machines for fllli' g. primine and crimping the shell. This greatly 

 facilitates the work, and at the same time renders the operation, free 

 from all danaer. Five tons of lea 1 are in constant circulation from 

 the bu'ts to the smelting room, where the bullets can be turned out 

 at the rate of 1 000 per hour 



During ihe present winter an increased number of matches and 

 prizes have bei n arranged by the executive committee, and some 

 cnanges made m the svstem of handicapping. The "nullseye" 

 matches at 200 and 600 yards are the new features of the program. 

 At the opening of the season rine series ot matches were arr-auged: 

 Three prize matches, three prizes off e:ed, value $25; class matcies, 

 handicap matches, the bulls*-ye match, 20) yards, toe bu'l-iave 

 only to count, and the greates' number in any string to win; bulls- 

 eye match. f OO yards. Then <-omes the armory orunitms match ; team 

 of five matches, op> n fri one team of five men from each company, 

 one from the fldd staff and non-commissioned staff, and one team 

 from tne veterans, the prize to be a "trophy"' to be awarded to the 

 team whose aggregate score of the two competitions is the highest. 

 Regimental tetm matches, op»n to teams of three from each 

 company, chosen as eaub captain may select, the badge to be held 

 by the winners from one competition until the next, and at the close 

 of the season awarded to such company whose >core during the 

 matches aggregated the highest, and by them held until Januaty 1. 

 1887. when it will be returned to the commandant of the regiment 

 for further competi ion. The <-pecial "off-hand" matches come next, 

 the prize a trophy, valued at $-5. to be presented to the man making 

 the t ignest aggregate of any two scores. A priz<» known as the "pic- 

 ture" prize will be given to that member of the club who, during the 

 present season, makes the best score of fourteen shot* in any club 

 competition, at 200 and TOO yards, or in a competition for the Abe« l 

 trophy. A cup or trophy of the value of $75 will also be given to the 

 man who first makes tde highest possioie set re. namely, 70- 70, in 

 any armory rifle club match or competition f^r the Abeel t> ophy 

 In ca^e the prize i- not awarded thi« y ar. it is intended to add $25 to 

 the fund until i be trophy is won. Tue scores in the team of three 

 matches have be< n running especially well. 



The best score ever made at the armory i« 184 out of a possible 150 

 points. It is this extensive system of prizes which has cieated so 

 much interest in rifle practice among the various companies, causing 

 a spirit of healthy competition and more efficient work at Creedmoor 

 each season. 



WORCESTER, Mass., Feb. 20.— At the regular meet yesterday at 

 the Pine Grove Range ot the Worcester Rifle Association, there was
