RANGE AND GALLERY. 



THE NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT. 



CHICAGO, Sept. 13.— The day at the National encampment was 

 devoted to rifle competitions, and all interest was centered in 

 that. The rifle, range has been put up in excellent shape, consid- 

 ering that it is only for temporary use. There are eight targets 

 of the improved Laidley pattern, and the distances are 200. 300, 500 

 and 600yds. There are five competitions, and some of the best 

 shots in the regular army and National Guard are entered. Be- 

 sides this there are teams from Norway, Sweden, and Denmark 

 entered in the all-comers matches. The States represented by 

 teams are, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Illinois, 

 Wisconsin, New Jersey, and Minnesota. The opening contest, 

 consisted of ten shots for each man at each of the three ranges, 

 and the result shows the number of points out of a possible 50 at 

 each range, or a possible 150 for the three ranges. The total team 

 scores are points made out of a. possible 500 at each, range, or 1,500 

 for the three ranges. 



There was a l earn of Indians, and while nobody but a dime-novel 

 reader expected, or rather hoped, that there would be a genuine 

 scalping bee. everybody looked forward to yesterday, the begin- 

 ning of the rifle practice, hoping to see some marvelous rifle prac- 

 tice fr m the "original inhabitants." The latter are members of 

 the National Guard of New Mexico, and are armed with carbines 

 of Springfield make, but of an old pattern and with short barrels. 

 When the team shooting began— ten shots each man at 200, ten 

 at 500 and ton at 600yds.— the Indians had the left flank of the 

 teams. There was but a small crowd of spectators, but inasmuch 

 as these were all more or less versed in rifle practice, one can 

 easily imagine the surprise when the red flag kept almost con- 

 stantly waving in front of the red nien'i target, indicating that 

 they were missing even the target of generous size. For the 200yd. 

 range standing was the position described; any other position was 

 permissible for the longer ranges. The Indians did not complete 

 even the 200yds. range shooting. They dropped out before their 

 hundred shots were fired. This left four teams in the field— 

 the First Minnesota, Fifth Iowa regiments, First Michigan State 

 Troops and Second Maryland Regiment, toe famous Haymakers. 

 The team alleged to be from the Second Massachusetts Regiment 

 was ruled out because it was discovered that the men had been 

 selected from eight different regiments. The score made was as 

 follows: 



Second Maryland, Prise $200. First Minnesota, Prize $100.

Lieut. Jackson.U. S. A., was in charge of the range, assisted by 

 Lieut. Def rees. The latter is captain of the regular army rifle 

 team from the Department of the Missouri, which will come into 

 play in the remaining part of the programme. Then the Hay- 

 makers will have to face the crack: shots of the army as well as 

 the Massachusetts meu, who have some of the best riflemen in 

 the world in their ranks. Colonel Wardwell of the Marylanders, 

 is a sight to see at the range. He hovers over his men as a chicken 

 does over her brood and every mediocre shot— poor shots the 

 Haymakers scarcely make— can bo discovered by a glance at his 

 face, so to speak. "No member of the team can feel a "two" or 

 "three" as keenly as the good-natured Colonel does. 



Most of the men took the "Texas grip." which is a perfectly 

 recumbent position, and recoil of the gun being moderated by the 

 left leg resting in the gun strap and the rifleman having the butt 

 on top of the right shoulder. But one of the men, a member of 

 the Michigan team, shot "prone," that is, lying on his breast 

 with his face to the target. A Minnesota man shot lying on his 

 back, but with the butt of hi i gun hard on the shoulder. One of 

 the Haymakers had just prepared a uice little artificial rest for his 

 legs by doubling np his overcaat under him, and another rested 

 his left foot against the range stub. In both instances Colonel 

 Wardwell promptly ordered the men to comply with the rules 

 which prohibit any artificial rest. 



The Iowa men have rifles of a pattern which is five or six years 

 old, which, in view of the rapid improvements of firearms, may 

 he termed an ancient pattteru. The regular army is not much 

 better off. The fact that no warming shots are allowed is another 

 matter of great importance, and even the position at the range 

 counts. The Haymakers had the Blaine position, that is, the one 

 to windward, so that the smoke of their rifles was carried across 

 the shot line of the other teams, while they themselves had a clear 



OH.' Ik.— The rifle contests continued all day at the West Side 

 encampment. There is very little of the encampment left, but the 

 marksmen cared little for that, and kept blazing away at the tar- 

 gets from 9 o'clock in the morning uutii sundown. There was only 

 a very small crowd in attendance, although the rifle practice is 

 the only part of the big show which has not fizzled out. The con- 

 tests were for the individual competition aud the all-comers' team 



8 ^In > the individual competition there were 102 entries. It was at 

 200yds., off-hand, 15 shots to a man, and open to marksmen from 

 all' the world. Several of the Scandinavians shot, but failed to 

 make much of a showing. The first prize was won by W. M, Far- 

 row of Massachusetts, and one of the celebrated American team 

 which went to England. He is a member of the Massachusetts 

 volunteer team, and so are A. CI White, C. W. Hinman and M, H. 

 Bull, who captured the second, third and fifth prizes respectively, 

 A. W. Stray, of the United States Army, slipping into fourth 

 place. Following is the complete score:

The individual shoot was finished by 12 o'clock, and then began 

 the all-comers' team shoot, open to teams of 10 men each from the 

 United States or foreign counties, provided each team in the 

 United States was made from men from one State. Ten shots 

 were allowed each man at 200, 300. 500 and 600yds. The shooting 

 was finished only at the 200 at 300yds. ranges. Part of the 500yds. 

 range was shot, but darkness put a stop to the contest. 



Seven teams engaged in the competition, which will result in the 

 winning team taking $1,0; in cash and $500 worth of badges; 

 second $500. third $230, fourth $125, and the fifth $100.

ALBANY, Oct. 7.— The tenth annual fall meeting of the Third 

 Division Association which euded at Rensselaerwyck to-day was 

 the most successful ever held in the history of the organization. 

 To the efforts of Secretary Buel C. Andrews and Major 0. H. 

 Gaus, as executive officers, much of the success of the affair is 

 due. 



The scores in detail are given below. In the team match the 

 local Tenth Battalion came off with flying colors, overcoming the 

 Twentieth Separate Company, of Binghamton, the Sixth, of 

 Troy, aud the Eighteenth, of Glens Falls. A year ago they heat 

 Binghamton's crack shots by a single point, but this year the 

 majority was increased to five. Thursday astrong wind prevailed 

 and the light was fair, while to-day the wind was light and the 

 smoke hung on the range. Under these conditions the shooting 

 occurred. 



The Tenth Battalion team, who won the brigade champion- 

 ship match, received a trophy valued at §100 from the State. In 

 the first match the prize was §10, in the second a costly bronze, in 

 the third the champion marksman's badge of the Third Brigade, 

 in the fourth a gold medal, in the sixth a gold medal, and in the 

 seventh a Smith & Wesson revolver. 



Match No. 1.— Short range continuous military match, open to all

THE CALIFORNIA TOURNAMENT. 



SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 6.— The annual tournament of the Cali- 

 fornia Sportsmen's Association opened to-day and a very large 

 attendance of sportsmen from this city and State contested for 

 manv beautiful prizes offered, on Cunningham's pigeon grounds. 

 The shooting began promptly at 10 o'clock, The wind was blowing 

 pretty stiff from the north during the forenoon and toward even- 

 ing it increased to a gale. It was almost impossible in the after- 

 noon to stand in a steady position before the traps, aud as the 

 pigeons, in the majority of instances, positively refused to fly, 

 trap-shots found it a difficult task to make anything like clean 

 scores. The birds that did fly shot from the traps with the speed 

 of an arrow and were in only exceptional cases stopped short in 

 their hurried flight toward the oyster beds. The first match was 

 at 15 live birds. 21yds. rise, regular boundary, plunge traps, use of 

 one barrel only; 29 entries. The first prize was won by John de 

 Yaull, Jr. The voung gentlemen grassed 14 birds in grand style. 

 Five contestants scored 13 birds. Rice handled the strings in 

 good style and Mr. Cate gave general satisfaction in his judgments 

 as referee of the meeting. „ „ .
