THE BULLARD PRIZES. 



SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Sept. 10.— Editor Forest and Stream: The 

 _ highest team score of five meu, thirty shots each, in our match 

 No. 3. which was competed for in June, was made by the National 

 Shooting Club, of San Francisco, Cal., who used military rifles, 

 Sbarps-Borcbardt, pistol grip, open sights, and Clb. pull, but ac- 

 cording to our conditions they are not entitled to the handicap of 

 76 points. It was not our intention to exclude any military rifles 

 With 61b. pull and open sight. In Rule 10 of our conditions we in- 

 tended to make provision fur their use. The military rifles used 

 by this club were not such "as issued by State or Government," 

 they were pistol grip, and it is claimed by some of the competitors 

 that there is an advantage in using such a grip that cannot be bad 

 in a straight military stock. While wishing to give the rules 

 their broadest construction, leaving out the question of whether, 

 as a matter of fact, the rifles were actually issued by the State or 

 Government, we must decide that the peculiar shape, of the grip 

 on their rifles debai s them from complying with the rules of the 

 matches. The next highest team score was made by the Cincin- 

 nati Rifle Association, of Cincinnati, O., who used sporting rifles, 

 who complied with all the conditions, and are awarded the prize, 

 which is one of our best detachable and interchangeable barrel 

 rifles. 



In Match No. 4 was an individual contest, the highest score to 

 win, number of shots 50, prize Bullard champion off-hand marks- 

 man's badge, a valuable gold medal, which must be won by an in- 

 dividual three times before it becomes his private property. The 

 highest score in this match was made by Private A. Johnson, of 

 the National Shooting Club of San Francisco, Cal. (Had we 

 known the military rifles used by this club were not allowable we 

 would have so informed them before Match No. 4 was competed 

 for). Capt. P. A. ChiSholm, of Oakland, Md., had the second high- 

 est score; he, however, fired his 50 shots on one target, while our 

 conditions only require that 85 shots be fired on each target. The 

 third highest score was made by Private Ed. Hovey, of the Na- 

 tional Shooting Club, of San Francisco, Cal., who u ed the same 

 kind of ride as Private A. Johnson. Thus the three highest men 

 are barred out for not complying with the conditions, and the. 

 prize is awarded to Mat Gindele, of Cincinnati, O., a member of 

 the Cincinnati Rifle Association. Mr. Gindele used a sporting 

 rifle. Bullard RjapBATiNO Arms Co.

CONLIN'S GALLERY.— The fall and winter season at Conlin's 

 gallery, N.W. corner of Thirty-first street and Broadway, opened 

 Sept. 12, wit h new and novel features in revolver shooting, to con- 

 tinue through the season. A new feature of the matches this 

 year will be the introduction of the Wimbledon target. This 

 target was used in the recent revolver matches of the British 

 National Rifle Association to test the quickness as well as the ac- 

 curacy of marksmen. A r ery considerable interest was taken in 

 this arrangement for revolver shooting at the Wimbledon meet- 

 ing this year. The target is fashioned after a rough outline of the 

 human figure and is exposed to view only five seconds at a time, 

 th underlying idea being that the. chest is to be taken as the 

 bullseye, while minor points are obtained by hitting the head and 

 limbs. This idea Mr. Coulin thinks very good and practical, since 

 it is the essence of revolver shooting, whenever it be caRed for 

 in the field of war or upon other and irregular occasions, that it 

 should be done quickly and at close quarters. Some very fair 

 shooiing was made by the Englishmen, but their scores do not 

 seem to equal those of revolver shooters at Conlin's gaUery last 

 season: though the use of the same target will afford a better op- 

 portunity for comparison. 



N 



A POOR STATE ARM. 



OW that the Snider has been virtuaUy set aside in England the 

 . Canadian miltiamen are more than ever restive under the 

 regulation which retains it as' the State arm. At the recent Ot- 

 tawa shoot of the Dominion Rifle Association the "grievance' 1 

 meeting, as the gathering of competitors is styled, went into the 

 topic with vigor. Lieut.-Col. White, of the 43d, was in the chair 

 when Captain Walter Macdonald, retired list, Toronto, brought 

 up the question of abolishing the Snider in all competitions above 

 500yds. He pointed out the unreliability of the weapon for long dis- 

 tance shooting, instancing as evidence the way the cracks had 

 fallen to pieces in distances over 500. He thought the weapon 

 should only be used in those competitions where it would do the 

 least possible harm. (Laughter.) He moved a resolution recom- 

 mending the executive to exclude the Snider from any match at a 

 distance over 500yds. , * . , . , 



Major Perley (Militia Department) said in view of the complaints 

 made in past vears, the council had sought to obtain a better class 

 of ammunition than that of English make known as IX. On in- 

 quiry, however, it was found that there were only 33,000 rounds in 

 the country, whereas from 40,000 to 45,000 rounds of Snider were 

 required for the annual matches. He could state as a member of 

 two cartridge commissions that the ammunition made this year 

 was really good. He had recently visited the factory in Quebec 

 and ascertained from Major Provost that the greatest care was 

 being taken to manufacture cartridges, in fact they could not be 

 better made. The powder now being used was the best obtainable, 

 viz., Curtis & Harvev's. All that was wanted now was to restore 

 confidence in the Canac ian ammunition, and this he thought might 

 be done by restoring sighting shots. 



Captain Weston (Halifax) said Canadian ammunition was now 

 on the whole fairly satisfactory. He was glad the Government 

 was doing its utmost to remedy t he defects which had existed. He 

 thought more attention should be paid to the bullet, as he believed 

 that anv defects now existing would be found in it, He hoped the 

 suggestion of Major Perley 's that sighting sh ate should be allowed, 

 would not prevail. •'. A 



Major Anderson, 23d Ottawa, said no amount ot confidence 

 would explain the fact of a bullet falling 6yds. short of the target. 



Captain J. Hartt (St. John's Rifles) thought Major Perley's 

 statement was very unsatisfat.-torjf because he contended every- 

 thing in the ammunition was good when the competitors knew to 

 the contrary. He moved that in the opinion of the competitors 

 present the Martini-Henry be in future used at the 000yds. range, 

 owing to the general unreliability of the Snider ammunition. 



Lieut.-Col. Beers, 74th Batt., Nova Scotia, said if the resolution 

 were allowed to stand he would move in amendment that the 

 Martini be the sole weapon used at the meetings of the D. R, A. 



'^ajor^Perley said the Snider was the arm of the volunteers of 

 Canada, and he did not sec how, with the fact staring them m the 

 face, the resolutions of Col. Beers would have any effect, 



Major Til ton believed in continuous agitation, and the following 

 resolution adopted on the motion of Col. Beers, seconded by Lieut.- 

 Col. Gibson: "That in the opinion of this meeting of riflemen re- 

 presenting all parts of the Dominion the time has arrived when 

 the active militia should be armed with the Martini-Henry and 

 that a committee be appointed to wait on the Minister ot Militia 

 to urge the change." 



THE CREEDMOOR MEETING.— The Creedmoor fall meeting 

 iB now in progress, with not very favorable weather in which to 

 carry out the programme. There are some new features m the 

 meeting beyond the old and familiar matches. The revolver has 

 been given" a definite place in a match and there is a sharp- 

 shooter's match at 800yds., which is novel. Massachusetts is the 

 onlv State which has sent a worthy team to contest for the com- 

 monwealth. The following officers and men will compose this 

 team: Maj. J. P. Frost, 2d brigade; Maj. C. W. Hinman, 1st 

 brigade; Capt. J. B. Osborne, 2st brigade: Lieut, S. S. Bumstead, 

 2d infantry; Lieut. R. B. Edes, 5th infantry; Lieut. Hussey, 8th 



team is quite as strong as that of last year, and a repetition of the 

 victories then won is again expected. The full records of the 

 meeting wiU appear in our next issue.

THE VETERANS' PRIZE.— There are five organizations of 

 veteran riflemen eligible to furnish rifle teams to compete for the 

 valuable trophy donated by Col. Austin C. Wellington in 1885. 

 These organizations are the 3d Massachusetts cavalry, 8th Ver- 

 mont, 14th New Hampshire, 26th and 38th Massachusetts Infan- 

 try. In the first competition, held at Winchester, Va., in 1885, 

 the trophy was won bv the team of the 14th New Hampshire, 

 Last year at Winchester, N. H., Ethan Allen stole a march on 

 Molly Stark, the 8th riflemen winniDg by just four points, with 

 the cavalry and the "old sixth" close in the rear. The holders of 

 the trophy name the time and place of the next annual competi- 

 tion. Accordingly the match for this fall will come off on the 

 10th Inst., in connection with the reun.on of the 8th Vermont at 

 Whtte River Junction. The Green Mountain hoys will entertain 

 the teams from the other regiments. A close contest is expected 

 as the team of the 20th has been in constant practice for the past 

 t wo months and is bent on capturing that beautiful vase. Maj. 

 E. L. Noyes, an old fighter of the 3d Cavalry, leads the team of 

 that regiment; Capt. S. E. Howard, who was shot five times at 

 Cedar Creek, commands the team which now holds the trophy. 

 Capt F. H. Buffum caUs the roll of the 14th sharp shooters. Capt, 

 Geo A. Reed, who "marched through Baltimore." in the old 6th, 

 is drilling the marksmen of the 26th, while Col. A. C. \A r elliugton 

 captain of the 38th team, but will have to put some one in his 

 place this time as he will be in Philadelphia when the match 

 comes off. 



nesday, Oct. 5. It is proposed to have the entries for individual 

 first prizes limited to those who make centers or better in the 

 team contests. Competitors making these records to continue to 

 shoot, after finishing team scores, for the prizes. This will avoid 

 chance records.
