RANGE AND GALLERY. 



THE REVOLVER WRANGLERS. 



IT would seem that the question of the revolver championship 

 between Messrs. Paine and Bennett is being made themostof in 

 the way of advertising. The chevalier has been spending a few 

 davs in Boston, and the shooters have had a rich time talkiug: 

 and letter writing. On Wednesday, April 11, F. E. Bennett issued 

 his programme of a match as follows for $360 a side and deposited 

 $100: 



One hundred shots a day for six consecutive days, on standard 

 American target, at a distance of 50 measured yards; revolver, 

 any with barrel not over eight inches in length, including cylind- 

 er, and of caliber not less than .44; factory ammunitiou in un- 

 broken boxes of any of the following makes: United States Car- 

 tridge Company or Winchester Repeating Arms Company, to be 

 furnished by the referee; any open sights, Tevolver to have a 

 three-pound trigger pull, to be tested each day by the referee be- 

 fore the shooting; privilege of cleaning revolver between each 10 

 shots. 



Each man to choose a judge, the judges to choose a referee, 

 whose decision shall be final, and who shall also be the stake- 

 holder. 



The referee to give each man 10 cartridges as he goes to the fir- 

 ing point. 



Tne shooter shall not be challenged or interfered with in any 

 manner while shooting; either party violating this rule shall for- 

 feit the match. 



The shooting to commence between 1 and 2 o'clock P. M. each 

 day. 



The party scouring the highest aggregate in the six days' shoot- 

 ing to be the winner. This challenge to remain open for six days 

 from date. 



The match to bo shot under the following conditions: 301) shots 

 to be tired at Providence, R. L, and 300 at Walnut Hill, Mass., 

 or 600 shots, 100 a day on six consecutive days, on neutral grounds 

 at Springfield Mass. The Smith & Wesson Revolver Club rules 

 to govern the competition. F. E. Bennett, 



27 Essex street, Boston, Mass. 



On the 13th the men met and had a confab. After a few intro- 

 ductory remarks, Mr. Paine opened negotiations by saying: "If I 

 shoot Mr. F. E. Bennett, the championship does not stand, as Mr. 

 W. W. Bennett is the gentleman who is regarded in the eyes of 

 the public to be a better marksman than his brother, and for 

 that reason I want to shoot Mr. W. W. Bennett or both to- 

 gether." 



"Well," said Mr. Bennett, "if you want to make a match with 

 me, I am here to make it. If you want to make a match with my 

 brother, you will have to see hi in." 



"1 want to shoot the best in the world," said Mr. Paine, "aud the 

 public believes j 7 our brother is better than you." 



"I did not know there was a championship concerned between 

 us," said Mr. Bennett. "I came to make a match with you for $230 

 a side, and not for any title." 



"A match for $250 a side between you and myself," said the 

 chevalier, "would do me no good. That would be a mateh for 

 commercial purposes, and taking a week to finish it would cost 

 me more than the stake money should I win. If your brother wiU 

 make a match with me, I will concede aoout everything to him 

 excepting trigger pull, if he will put up $1,000 backing, or if the 

 match is for the championship and that money, I will use almost 

 any trigger pull . " 



Bennett replied, "if I shoot a match with you, it will be under 

 the rules of some club." 



"If you shoot for the championship with me, I think I will have 

 something to say in the matter," replied Paine. 



"Then you do not caie to shoot me for $250 a side?" said Ben- 

 nett, rising. 



"Certainly not," said Paine. "I have beaten your score some 

 100 odd points, and, as I said before, I would not gain anything by 



beating you. I will shoot you for $1,000 a side on neutral grounds, 

 any way and any pull, championship not to be considered." 



Mr. Paine finally said, "1 wish to make another proposition. I 

 will shoot a full match with both Bennetts for $250 a side each, all 

 the money to be put up before the first match is shot." 



Mr. Bennett again reiterated he was not making matches for 

 his brother. 



Paine again gave several reasons for not wishing to shoot F. E. 

 Bennett for $250 a side, the most important being that he had 

 already beaten F. E.Bennett's score 133 points in just such a 

 match as proposed, and again, he (Paine) did not care to let a 

 cartridge company, which, he alleged, Mr. Bennett was adver- 

 tising, use him (Paine) for commercial purposes. Mr. Bennett 

 and his party then left, after being assured that Mr. Paine was 

 ready to meet W. W. Bennett for almost any consideration. 



Mr. Paine then laid down $200 and said: "I reiterate my chal- 

 lenge to the world for $1,000 a side, the match to be shot as during 

 recent trials, and I wish to leave this money as deposit, twill, 

 however, shoot against Mr. W. W. Bennett for $250 a side and the 

 championship, and I hope to hear from him soon." 



As soon as Mr. Bennett had reached his desk he followed his 

 natural impulse to write a letter and said: "Whenever I ask Mr. 

 Paine to shoot against me, his answer is that he. wants to shoot 

 my brother and me for the small stake of $250 a side. If we were 

 to make such a match with him, I object that he might, provid- 

 ing that he won with my brother, refuse to tackle, me-. He claims 

 the right to choose which of us, providing we should both match 

 him, he would shoot first. Now, my brother is one man and I am 

 another, and I am the one seeking a match with Mr. Tra A. Paine 

 for $1,000, for which my forfeit of $100 awaits him. This match is 

 now open to Mr. Paine, viz: 600 shots, 100 a day for six days, .44- 

 cal. Smith &• Wesson revolvers, such as we both use, National 

 Association rules, 50yds. distance, or 50yds. and 100yds. if he pre- 

 fers the latter, United States Cartridge Company, U. M. C. 

 Cartridge Company, or Winchester Repeating Arms Company, 

 factory ammunition, and 31b. minimum trigger pull, according to 

 National Association rules. I will shoot three days of the six at 

 Mr. Paine's targets in Providence, and three days at mine at 

 Walnut Hill, Mass., or all six days on neutral ground. Now, if 

 Mr. Paine persists in declining this match with me, and insisting 

 that he must have a 'brother act' match, half against me and 

 half against another man, he has, as I claim, relinquished his 

 pretensions to the 'Revolver Shooting Championship of America 

 and the World,' and Mr. Paine's successor, until somebody beats 

 him, will be Fred E. Bennett." 



CAPITAL GALLERY WORK— At Conlin's gallery, corner of 

 Thirty-first street and Broadway, New York, the go-as-you-please, 

 teaser target match at the long range came to a close on the night 

 of Wednesday, April 11, after a very closely-contested struggle 

 lasting ten days. The conditions of the match were 10 shots with 

 any .22-cal. ritle, position any, sights and trigger pull any. After 

 the. first half of the match it was nip and tuck bet ween Mr. Alfred 

 Brennan and Mr. George Bird, each having a score of 49 out of a 

 possible 50, which was not beaten, and it is very doubtful if it 

 ever will be, for in order to make a full score of 50 the shooter 

 has to hit a spot which only measures 32-100 of an inch in diam- 

 eter. The following are the six best scores made: Alfred Bren- 

 nan and George Bird tie on 40, C. R. Geusch 46, J. J. Gill 45, G. E. 

 Nichols 42, G. R. Goodwin 41, F. A. Young 40. At the conclusion 

 of the match it was decided between Mr. Brennan and Mr. Bird 

 that they shoot off the tie at five targets each of 10 shots each, 

 under the same conditions, which was done, with the following 

 result. Shot off 50 shots each: Mr. Brennan 223, Mr. Bird 221U. 

 The revolver match now in progress at Mr. Conlin's will bring 

 out some very fine revolver shooting, and the contest promises to 

 be one of the most interesting ever decided at this celebrated 

 gallery. 



REVOLVERS FOR OFFICERS.— The report of Col. Rockwell 

 and Majors Frost and Hinman favoring the issue of revolvers to 

 the Massachusetts militia officers has been passed upon by the 

 Adjutant-General so far as to decide that there will not be time 

 before the approaching camps to arrange the details of an issue 

 such as the procurement of the equipments, etc.. and that it is 

 expedient to lay the question on the shelf till fall. The first part 

 of the report relates to the experiments made by the board with 

 different patterns of revolvers and ammunitions, but their 

 specific recommendations are for the present withheld; but the 

 board say that whenever the State buys revolvers they should get 

 the best, referring not only to quality of manufacture, but to ac- 

 curacy of shooting. Coming to the question of the "advisability 

 of the. issue" we are constrained to the opinion that there is a very 

 serious doubt of the advisability of issuing revolvers to all officers. 

 We take it there has been no thought or intention of issuing re- 

 volvers as a purely ornamental adjunct of the officers' outfit. 

 The advantage to be gained may perhaps be summed up by the 

 simple statement that officers would be instructed in the use of 

 the arm, which, in case of public tumult or other caU service, 

 would be their individual weapon of offence or defence. The 

 chief disadvantage, as affecting officers of the infantry line 

 especially, and one which may or may not be permanent, is that, 

 as our system of rifle practice has developed, it is necessary that 

 company officers should become personally interested in the rifle 

 practice of their commands; for the men, without the active co- 

 operation and encouragement of their officers, would seldom 

 reach a state of efficiency. In fact, the officers have become an 

 active part of the system; and it may r be unwise at present to 

 divert their attention in another direction.

LONDON, Eng., April 15.— It is proposed that the Kolapore 

 cup instead of being shot for at Wimbledon by colonial teams, 

 shall be competed for in the colonies qualified to send teams. 

 This proposal is intended to place colonial teams in a better posi- 

 tion, because they would know their own ranges, whereas Wim- 

 bledon is strange to them. Should the proposal be accepted au- 

 thenticated results of them firing in Cauada, India, and else- 

 where will be forwarded to the National Rifle Association for the 

 award of the cup.
