THE INTERNATIONAL MATCH. — Gulf Hammock, Fla., May 3.— 

 Editor Forest and Stream: I noticed your editorial on the Inter- 

 national Rifle Match'in your issue of April 22. v I cannot quite acknowl- 

 edge your claims to produce the best both long range and military 

 weapons and the be-t men. In my opinion the English under the 

 tutelage and experience of Mr. Wm. Metford were the first to produce 

 a good rnuzzleloading long range rifle, the Americans through the aid 

 of the Sharps Rifle Co., produced what was at the time the best 

 breechloading long range rifle in the world, closely followed by the 

 Remington Ballard Go's. But 1 totally deny that the Americans have 

 shown that they can make a military breechloader which is at all 

 equal at 1000yds. to Mr. Metford, and they have until lately, at any 

 rate, ignored his progressive spiral twist which is essential to the 

 success of any long range rifle used without cleaning out between 

 shots, and if used in this country it is certainly an imitation of his. 

 Of course there may have been improvements on it. but I think not 

 in the form of barrel, though the polish of the Sharps barrel when 

 under the regime of Frank Hyde was allow* d to be unequalled. With 

 regard to international matches I should like to make a suggestion. 

 An annual match is too great a strain on riflemen, both in the way of 

 expenses and personal work, and a match every two years woul-1 

 leave the intervening year for rest, practice, and improvement in 

 weapous. I also think it would be much better if matches took place 

 alternately on opposite sides of the'Atlantic. irrespective of the win- 

 ners in any competition. This would give every fourth year a com- 

 petition at Creedmoor or elsewbere in America, and every fourth 

 year a competition at Wimbledon. I hope these may be good sug- 

 gestions fiom au old shootist. I very much regret to hear of the 

 serious gillncss of my old friend and captain. Sir Henry Halford.— 

 One of the British Rifle Team of 1877. 



CREEDMOOR.— At the regular meeting of the Board of Directors 

 of the National Rifle Association May 4, it was decided to open the 

 Creedmoor range this season to all comers without charge. Formerly 

 none but the members of the Association were allowed to shoot over 

 the range. T ) gets will be paid lor as in the past. The qualification 

 and champion marksmen's class matches have been set for May 22 

 and June 5, 6, and 26. The first prize in the champion's match will 

 bo a gold marksman's badge, presented this year bv the association. 

 The cost of entering cither match will be 50 cents. 'The British Rifle 

 Association has as yet sent no reply to the challenge of the Ameri- 

 can Association, and in that unsettled condition of affairs on the 

 other side it is thought by the directors as unlikely that a team from 

 there will visit America this year. The riflfi practice in the National 

 Guard— First and Second divisions— will be commenced at Creed- 

 moor on May 17, the Fourteenth Regiment of Brooklyn taking the 

 lead. The Thirty-second follows on the 20tb, and the Thirteenth on 

 the 21th. The Flushing company are ordered for the 27th of May. 

 The Twenty-third and Forty-seventh regiments will practice on 

 June 3 and 7. The First divison will commence practice on May 

 18th, and continue on the 21st, 25th and 28th, and June 4. 8, 10, 11. 14, 

 and 15. The assignments of regiments for these days have not yet 

 been announced. Every officer and enlisted man, excepting mem- 

 bers of the batteries arid musicians, are required to visit the range 

 at least once during the season for general practice, and, after hav- 

 ing on co attended with their organizations, the men will be allowed 

 to secure their qualifying scores in any of the regular matches of the 

 National Rifle Association. A prize to the value of S50 will be 

 awarded the company in each division having the highest general 

 figures of merit. Practice for the season will close on Nov. 6. The 

 second-elass practice will be at 100 yds., standing and 200 yds. kneel- 

 ing or sitting, at the No. 3 targets, the first class to be at 200 yds,, 

 standing, No. 3 target, and 500 yds., lying prone, at the No. 2 target. 

 A score of 25 and upward in the first class is the qualification for the 

 State decoration; 42 and upward constitute a sharpshooter. The 

 highest possible score is 50 prints. On each occasion the practice 

 will commence with class firing in Bquads. to be followed by volley 

 firing and then firing as skirmishers, the distance being from 325 to 

 100 yds. and return,
