entered. The Peabody took their turn at shooting to-day with the 

 following result: 



First entry, Second entry. 



F R Bull 55544-23 45544 -22 



George Adama 45486-21 44453 -20

T B Wilson 54444-21 45445-22 



Kimball 53444-20-98 44554-22-104 



The team are still one point behind their opponents, but will try to 

 overcome them to-day. 



The various other targets were well patronized. Much of the inter- 

 est of the members of the Schuetzenverein centered in the "novice 

 match" between members of that society, in which some very good 

 scores for novices are being made. A. Holleustein is the leader so 

 far, having a total of 95 out of a possible 125 to his credit. He is 

 closely followed by Capt. Buchholz, who has a total of 94, while A. 

 Schultz and Fred Lenoir follow with 87 and 85 respectively. In the 

 individual military match some good scores have been made and 

 many more entries are expected to day. M. W. Bull, of the City 

 Guard, is ahead so far, and is looked upon as the probable victor, 

 although his competitors are working hard to catchup with him. 

 The score up to to-night was as follows: 



MWBull.... 23 22 22 -67 J A Sterling 20 20 21-61 



ET Stephens 23 22 21-66 Capt, Southmayd . . . .20 17 16-53 



TTCartwright 21 21 21-63 Henry McDonald.... 19 17 ..-36 



On the Massachusetts target A. C. White is at present the leader, 

 but he is being pushed by others as the score will show, each 3 scores 

 counting as a continuous one: 



AC White 58 56 55-169 G Joyner 55 54 52-161 



ET. Stephens 56 55 56-167 W H Beardsley 52 52 51—155

The competition on the German ring target is very close and some 

 excellent work is tiding (done, on it, most of the best marksmen pres 

 sent b ing entered for it. Unless something happens it looks very 

 much as if J. A. Huegins. of Pittsburgh, Pa., will bear off the prize, 

 he having done the steadiest shooting thus far and holding first 

 place with a total of 71 out of a possible 75 with Jewell, of Hartford, 

 a close second. The following score shows the position of the con- 

 testants: J. A. Huggins 71. O. M. Jew ell 70, D S. Seymour 68, Wm.

 and shoulders of a man and is more complicated and trying to some 

 marksmeo that the ordinary bull-eye Target, G. Joyner is the cham- 

 pion so far, he having a lead of two points over his nearest opponent.

July 9.— The Schuetzenverein closed their rifle tournament to- 

 night after an excellent four-days' outing With the exception of a 

 rather strong and changing wind the last, one was a good one for 

 shooting, and each marksman realized it, for the target tenders were 

 kept on the lump from early in the morning until the snooting closed 

 at 7 o'clock m the evening. " The tournament is the most successful 

 ever held by the society, both financially and in the scores made by 

 the contestants. The attendance has been large, and the best of 

 order has been kept on the grounds and the comfort of every one 

 pi esent, whether spectators, marksmen or workers, has been care- 

 fully looked after. Secretary T. T. Cartwright, Shooting Master 

 Diet Hare with his aids and President Buchholz have worked hard 

 to bring the affair out successfully and deserve credit for their exer- 

 tions. There has been but very little "kicking" by those competiog 

 for prizes, and what little was done has been on minor points The 

 New England Rifle Association and the Springfield Schuetzenverein 

 may congratulate themselves on the success of the rifle tournament 

 of 1886-

TELESCOPIC SIGHTS ON MAGAZINE RIFLES.-ZcYiifor Forest 

 and Stream: In answer to our advertisement 

 in your columns, we have had numerous Inquire 

 ies from gun societies aud others, asking whether 

 It is feasible to mount telescopic sights upon 

 magazine rifles. A Philadelphia gunsmith of 

 reputation recently declared that "it had never 

 been done and was not likely to be done, because 

 it was impracticable." We send you herewith 

 an illustration as photographed from a job which 

 we have just executed for a gentleman at Johns- 

 town. Pa. The rifle, as received by us, was 

 mounted with what are called Rocky Mountain 

 hunting sights. A glance at the illustration wilj 

 show that they are still there. The forward 

 dove-tailed slide-block containing the usuaj 

 "knife-blade sight," we replaced with a higher 

 one, carrying the ring which holds muzzle end 

 of telescope. This block we have dove-tailed 

 above and on a center line with the barrel, to re- 

 ceive an ivory, bone or metallic sight of the 

 "knife blade" 'pattern. At the rear we have util- 

 ized the base of the modern peep sight by screw- 

 ing into it, a cylinder, upon the same plan as 

 formerly used in changing a flintlock to a cap- 

 lock, only the cylinder is on the left hand side. 

 Now, instead of inserting the old time cone into 

 this cylinder, we have drilled entirely through it 

 and inserted our elevating post, which extends 

 down by the side of the ''grip" of the stock, if a 

 long one is required, for high elevation. We 

 placed no s'-rew (or thread) upon the post, but 

 hold it in place by a thunab-screw in the cylinder, 

 which shows in the illusi ration. The upper end 

 of the elevating nost terminates in a "Y."' into 

 which the telescope fits, and pivots upon two 

 screws in the "lobe*" of the post, or the "Y," as 

 sometimes called. It will be seen that the tele- 

 scopic sight "stands off'' to the 1- f just enough 

 to permit the breech mechanisjn to dischiree the 

 empty shells from the top The mechanism slid- 

 ing to the rear al=o clears the elevating post. 

 This method is a perfect success. We have de^ 

 vised several others, but this is as 6iraple and 

 effective as any.— Milton P. Peirce, Rural 

 Manufacturing Company (Philadelphia, 188§j.
