The Canadians in 1882 were rewarded for their many repulses by 

 securing a victory over an American team. The Amorican team 

 went up in very bad form, defeat was predicted and it came. The 

 match was fought on the Ainslen Wood Hange, near Hamilton. o Dt - 

 The weather was so bad that the match was interrupted and the 

 Canadian score was finished on the day following. The match was 

 fought on Aug. 16, 1882, and the score ran :

The match was fought on two days, July 20 being given up to the 

 200, f.00 and 600yds. work, while the next day was devoted to the 800, 

 90j and 1000yds." shooting. They were two days of storm and rain , 

 gale and lightning, aud it was not surprising that low scores resulted. 

 Each man, as before, fired 7 shots at each range, making a total pos- 

 sible ot 35 points. The scores stood:

 With this defeat for the Americans abroad the series of interna- 

 tional matches closes. Ic will be seen that in small-bore, long-range 

 work the victory lies on this side the Atlantic, and the Palma, em- 

 blematic of the championship in this line of marksmanship, still 

 remains on American soil. In military shooting the honors are on 

 the British side, and after two defeats the American guardsmen seem 

 indisposed to make an effort toward bringing all championships to 

 this couEtry.

CREEDMOOR, July 17.— It was very hot at the Creedmoor range 

 during most of to-day, but the shooting was unusually good. The 

 attendance was the largest of the year, excepting that of July 5. The 

 entries numbered 350 and the first cash prize amounted to about $8. 

 The winners in the champion marksman's class were as follows.

Sergt. Mahoney made a perfect score at 500yds. This has been 

 done but three times this year. Private J. T. Klein, of the 17th Sepa- 

 rate Company, who won the medal last year, scored a total of 47 to- 

 day, but as he was the winner of last year, he was entitled to no 

 prize. A peculiarity of the shooting this year is, that in the five 

 matches that have been shot no marksman has won the first prize 

 twice. 



A CANADIAN MATCH. — Moncton, N. B., July 15.— The first inter- 

 provincial rifle match, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick participat- 

 ing, took place on the Moncton Rifle Range to-day. The shooting 

 commenced about 11 and was concluded at 5. The conditions were 

 favorable, the wind being almost a fishtail and hazing light. The 

 score beats the be*t Wimbledon record. New Brunswick's total for 

 the range being 701, or four more than the highest in the competition 

 for the Kolapore Cup, while Nova Scotia's 693 was but four behind. 

 The riflemen are delighted at the successful inauguration of the inter- 

 provincial matches, and if the Nova Scotians are disappointed the 

 New Brunawickers are surprised at the phenomenal success. The 

 score sheets show the following; 200, 500 and 600yds., 7 shots, highest 

 possible, 35 at each range:

WILMINGTON. Del., July 14. -There was a fair attendance at the 

 public rifle matches, held by the Wilmington Rifle Club at Schuetzen 

 Park this afternoon, and the shooting was continued until the target 

 was washed away by torrents of rain. The conditions of the first 

 match were: Creedmoor target, 200yds., off-hand, and prizes divided 

 by score classes. After deciding ties the prizes were awarded as fol- 

 lows: First, S. J. Newman; second, W. C. Seeds: third, U. Fuller; 

 fourth, Wm. O'Connor. The following is the full score out of a pos- 

 sible 23 points:

H B Seeds 53444 - 20 J E Newman 23434—16 



W O'Connor 34444—19 



At the second match a new plan was tried which gave general sat- 

 isfaction. Bacon and Simpson were appointed to select two teams 

 from those present to compete with each other. This awakened a 

 spirit of rivalry which made the match exciting and interesting. 

 Bacon's team won by 19 points, holding the lead from the start. The 

 prizes were awarded accarding to the highe.it scores of the entire 

 match, and were as follows: First, Charles Heinel. Sr.; second. Jas.

 Camden, N. J., on Monday, July 2>. 



WIMBLEDON. July 15.— The regular match between members of 

 the House of Lords and members of the Home of Commons has been 

 abandoned because it has been found impossible to complete the 

 teams, owing to the absorbing interest in the election. The shootine

 day. Corporal Reuter, of the Aberdeen Rifles, made 96 out of a pos- 

 sible 105, taking the bronze medal.

 breezes prevailed for a time, and the weather afterward became 

 rainy. The shooting for the London Corporation prizes was confined 

 to marksmen from the colonies. The highest scores at the first range,

MOHICAN C. C. RACES.— Thursday, July 15. -Unlimited cham- 

 pionship race for July, pennant and medal, Gibson race called 

 promptly at 5:30 P. M., 7 staters: Vesper, R. W. Gibson, 83ft.; Nan, 

 H L. Tnomas, 95ft.: Thetis, P. M. Wackerhagen, 85ft,; Marion B , R. 

 S. Oliver, 83ft.; Ohingackgook, Wm. Wheeler, 80ft.; Arno, H. C. 

 Cushman, 78ft. ; Mermaid. L. T. Prince. 80ft. There was a strong 

 reefing breeze from the south with knock down flaws aud squalls 

 from an approaching storm. Thomas sailed the Nan, the club boat, 

 as the Annie O. was m the repair shop. The Nan is outside A. C. A. 

 limits and can carry almost unlimited sail. A flying start was made* 

 the boats well bunched except Vesper who was some distance to rear. 

 The Nan at once took the lead. Despite the heavy wind all sail was 

 carried by the contestants. Nan, Thetis, Vesper, Marion B. kept 

 fairly well together for first half mile, the wind being almost astern. 

 The mile and a half buoy was rounded in the following order: Nan, 

 Thetis, Vesper well in tne lead, then Marion B., followed by Arno, 

 Chingackgook and Mermaid. The beat home was exciting in the ex- 

 treme, the squalls being frequent and severe. The captain of the 

 Vesper, with nis usual skill managed to bring her to the fore. The 

 Thetis passed the Nan and the Marion B. was a poor fourth. Within 

 }4 mile of home, the Nan having right of way, forced Thetis about and 

 took second place, and the finish was made as follows in a furious 

 squall of wind and rain: Vesper, first, 38min.; Nan, second, 40min.; 

 Thetis, third, 41min.; Marion B., fourth, 44min. ; Arno, fifth, 48min.; 

 Chingackgook. sixth. 50miu. ; Mermaid not timed. Vesper takes the 

 badge from Marion B. and Arno wins the senior blue pennant . Some- 

 how or other when the Vesper and her captain make up tbeir minds 

 to take the cake it does not seem practicable for the rest of the club 

 to stop them. Gibson's windward work is always remarkable, and 

 he gets out of his craft all there is in her. The race between the 

 three leaders was very close and immensely exciting. Marion B. 

 behaved very poorly and did not do herself j us i ice.— Captain M. C.C. 



A. C. A. MEMBERSHIP.— The names proposed up to date are: J. 

 H. Sprague. East Orange, N. J.; W. E. Rogers, Albany, N. Y.; Capt. 

 Henry Metcalf, U. S. A., Albany, N. Y., and F. Perry Sherwood,
