"It has been suggested," say the club officers, "that we take 

 steps to form an Inter-State Rifle Association, to embrace New- 

 York. Pennsylvania, Now Jersey and Delaware, for the promotion 

 of rifle practice. We should like to hear from any and all rifle- 

 men from these States upon the subject, and hope to see a repre- 

 sentative from each clnb in these States present at the tourna- 

 ment, to lend their aid in such an undertaking. There is no d oubt 

 hut that such an association, well officered, would be productive 

 of many good results, and we hope to have the matter thoroughly 

 ventilated during the tournament."

 GALLERY SHOOTING.— A repeating rifle match was started 

 at Conliu's Gallery, 1255 Broadway, New York, on Washington's 

 Birthday, to last ten days, and come to a close March 3. The con- 

 ditions were: 10 shots, off-hand, standard decimal target, with 

 Winchester repeating rifle, .22-cal. and open sights, time limited 

 to one minute. This style of shooting has been very popular dur- 

 ing the past winter with the shooters of this famous gallery. Be- 

 low will be found a few of the best scores. This shooting, when 

 one considers the time, does not seem difficult, but the thought 

 that you must fire the shot in one minute, or a limited time, 

 worries the shooter a great deal, the tendency being to fire the 

 shots too quick and thereby make a poor score, or to take too 

 much time and be disqualified, as was the case with Dr, Manning, 

 who, in 63 seconds, made a score of 97, but in trying to fire in tbe 

 time could not make more than SO, and would fire the shots in 35 

 seconds. The match was for a handsome gold medal, and was 

 won by Capt. T. H. Swift, of the gallant 9th, who, by the way, is 

 one of the best all-round shots in the city. Mr. Conlin promises 

 to start a new and novel match in a few days:

THE MAUSER RIFLE.— According to a Munich letter the 

 German grand headquarters staff has quite abandoned the inten- 

 tion of substituting the Mauser by the reduced caliber rifle. The 

 Amberg small arms factory, which for twelve months past has 

 been turning out tbe large-bore weapon, but where the manufac- 

 ture, by order, had been stopped since August, has commenced 

 working full time, as 35,000 Mausers were called for by the middle 

 of February.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 20.-Quite a number of people were pres- 

 sent this afternoon at the Haight street baseball grounds to wit- 

 ness the second pigeon match between Dr. Carver and John Ker- 

 rigan, the agreement entered into between the two contestants 

 was for a shoot at single and double birds, 50 single birds and 25 



in the early part of the shoot, grassing 12 straight. He had rather 

 hard luck with some of his pigeons; hit very hard they managed 

 tokeepintue air until a few feet outside the boundary. Kerri- 

 gan used a, close-shooting hammerless gun, but in the latter part 

 of the shoot on singles he ran out of No. 6 cartridges and in their 

 stead he used No. 7, which were found too light to stop short the 

 career of the strong-flying birds. He disappointed his friends 

 very much in the double-bird contest. The first two clean misses 

 evidently disturbed his nerves and afterward his shooting was 

 unreliable. Kerrigan has a reputation of being one of the best 

 double-bird shots in the State, but he did not by" any means sup- 

 port this good opinion in to-day's performance. Some very easy 

 shots he missed clean, especially so was this noticeable at some 

 of the incomers. Dr. Carver as usual shot with professional cool- 

 ness and made a splendid score on single birds; he with very few 

 exceptions snaps at bis birds and lands them within a few yards 

 of the trap which they are sprung from. Instances where a swift 

 flyer came from his caged quarters and got some yards off. a miss 

 was the general result. His double-bird shooting was very neat 

 and certainly remarkable for its quickness. Although Dr.Carver 

 has proven himself to be, too much for Kerrigan on pigeons, quite 

 a number of people are of the opinion that the latter sportsman 

 would have a much bet ter chance of tieing the Doctor if the match 

 had taken place at San Bruno, where there is always a good stiff 

 breeze to prevent the birds from sleeping over the traps. San 

 Bruuo is the place where Carver's skill as a snapshot would be 

 thoroughly tested, and possibly another meeting will be held there 

 soon. The following is the score made in to-day's contest: 

 Dr. Carver.
