 Division of the ^Missouri team had its four department teams pres- 

 ent, and tliese engaged in a team match at 200, 300, WO and COOyds., 

 10 shots each. It was not a favorable day, and despite the fish-tail 

 vrind the following scoi-cs were made out of a possible 600 at each 

 range at the knoviTi distances:

For this match the Kansas (Jity Times, Avhich takes a great 

 interest In army matters, offered a handsome gold badge to the 

 members of the winning team wl\o, in a separate contest at the 

 same ranges, should make the highest total score. This contest

Oct. 1.— The rifle contest of the regular army team came to a 

 close to-day. Corporal Michel, troop L, 4th Cavalry, winning the 

 two first gold medals on the aruiy team and five out of the six 

 axmy meaals offered by the Government. This has been done by 

 no other man in thearmy since the competitions first began. When 

 firing began tliis morning at known di.stance Michel led tiie next 

 man, Huddleson, 3 points. The latter at the 200yds. range made 44 

 to Michel's 43. the latter still leading by 1 point. At 300yds. Hud- 

 dleson made 40 to Michel's 41, leaving the latter still 2 points in tire 

 lead. At 500yds. Huddleson scored 43 to Michel's 43. At the OUOyds., 

 however, matters became interesting and the greatest exeitenient 

 prevailed among spectators. Huddleson had fired his score, mak- 

 ing 44 points. Michel had fired 5 shots, each being a bull, gix ing 

 him 25, when through some o\'crsight the gun was discluirgcd 

 before Michel had taken an aim and a miss was recorded. Tliis 

 created a panic among Michel's friends; but in the next two sliots 

 he scored 8, making him 81. It Avas nov^ necessary for him to make 

 two 5s. He scored a buU on each shot, making him 41 at 600yds. 

 and tying with Huddleson for the four days with an aggregate of 

 478 each. Michel ha'.dng the best record for two days' skirmishing 

 he was given first place and Huddleson second. Corporal Michel 

 was tne recipient of congratulations from many of the olflcersand 

 ladies present, especially from h;s troop commander, Capt. Theo. 

 J. V7int, 4th Cavairs^, who placed in the corporal's hand a $50 bill. 

 Other odicers offered him handsome sums, but they wei-e modestly 

 refused b>' him. This afternoon at 4:.30 General Sheridan jiresented 

 the medais to the winners in the presence of the troops of the gar- 

 rison on the main parade. The following is the complete score:

 Toal, second prize, gold medal; Mr. Stolsenbergcr, third prize, silk 

 umbrella. . , , ,j -i. 



The festival proved to bo one of the most successful ever held by 

 the club. One interesting feature of the day's pleasttre was the 

 shooting by the ladies, wives and friends of the members of the 



club. There were prizes for every lady who shot, and the interest 

 they exhibited and their ability to hit the buUseye was a sight 

 worth seeing. Mr. Otto Jaeger, of Wheeling, West Virginia, an 

 old fi-iend of the club, donated two priaes for the target of honor 

 one of which included a very beautiful pair of peach-blow vases! 

 The club had on exhibition at the festival a large number of club 

 trophies won in years past. Among the medals were those donated 

 by the Forest and Streaji and Rod and Gun in 1878, which 

 were shot for by all the principal clubs in the United States. These 

 medals were an object of much interest to all who saw them.— N. 

 D. Ward, SecretaiT. 



MUZZLELOADERS TO THE FORE.-Jamestown, N. Y., Sept. 

 28.— The inclosed report of the shoot last week by the Nypano As- 

 sociation, is the finest shooting ever done in a public match. The 

 meet lasted four days. The attendance was not large, but so many 

 of the competitors being nearly equal in skill and marksmanship 

 made the match of unusual interest. The shooting, as will be seen 

 by the following scores, is extra fine, and far ahead in the aggro- 

 gate of any shooting ever before done in tlie country. Those in 

 attendance were John D. KeUey, Renovo, Pa.; R. C. Rice, Warren, 

 O.; Edwm Rawdon, Windsor, 6.; H. F. Hart, Rochester. N. Y.; C. 

 H. Reiner and Horace Warner, Syracuse, N. Y.; J. Robert Moore 

 and H. V. Perry, of Jamesto-svn; Bonj. Garfield, Salamauca, and 

 several others of the "have been class," but their courage has aU 

 oozed out at the present time. The follo^\iug are the scores of 

 each string of ten .shots measured from the center of each ball 

 hole to the real center of the target, and added together in inches 

 and one-tenth part of an inch. Distance 230yds. (41) rods):

Mr. Kelley donated a §20 note to the Association as a prize to be 

 shot for on the last day, the third string of that day .-liould decide 

 the contest for the §20. The contest, up to the time this prize was 

 to be shot for, had run so ncai'ly equal that it was rlilficult to pick 

 the winning man. All had hopes and .•lil iiad fears, but these hopes 

 and fears were not allowed to come to the surface. The party 

 was made up of men who realize tliat discretion is the better part 

 of valor. Time was called, and oft" they went, bang, bang, and sp 

 on until every man had fired his 10 shots, but before the shots 

 were half fired it was quite apparent where the 520 would go, for 

 Perry had his first 5 shots all througli one hole in the center of his 

 target. The last 5 shots were sutficientlj' good, so that he made a 

 string of 8.2in., which won the §20. There were but three men 

 who shot in all the strings or who had all their strings measured. 

 These were: Perry, 190 shots, aggregate 193.5in. Hart, 190 shots, 

 aggregate 206.4in. Moore, 190 shots, aggregate 213.4iu. The match 

 was shot under handicap riilcs in regard to weight of guns and 

 mode of resting and an extra 5 per cent, deduction on strings made 

 with breechloading guns. Remer and Ivelloy used breeeliloaeling 

 guns. Perry, second and third days, 110 shots, 99in. string meas- 

 ure, the best ever done in public mAteli.— Muzzle.
