 BOSTON, Dec. 6.— Yesterday Mr. F. E. Bennett, of this city, 



began an effort to shoot 100 shots per day with an army revolver 



for ten consecutive days at an American standard target, 50yds. 



distance. The work was done at the Walnut Hill rifle range, and 



the following unparalleled score was made: 



1 6 10 8 10 7 10 10 10 10 10-91 



2 8 10 9 10 7 9 9 9 10 8—89

10 9 7 7 10 10 8 8 9 9 7-84—880 



This total of 88G beats Chevalier Paine's best record by 45 points, 

 and is 12 points better than Bennett's best previous score. It will 

 be noticed that the sixth string was a clear score of bullseyes, 

 and that during the 10 shots 16 consecutive bullseyes were made. 

 The shooting is simply phenomenal. A wager is made that during 

 the week Mr. Bennett will, on three days, beat Paine's best record 

 of 841 in a possible 1,000, and another bet is posted that the aggre- 

 gate of the six days' shoot will average 841 or better. 



OWENSY1LLE, Ind., Nov. 29— Only six of the Owensville Bal- 

 lard Rifle team met on their range to-day, Messrs. John Daugh-

 EUROPEAN SMALL ARMS.— The ordnance officers of the 

 army have been watching with keen interest the recent European 

 experiments with small firearms, and to satisfv himself of the 

 merits of the Hebler and Labelle rifles. General Benet, Chief of 

 the Ordnance Bureau, has procured samples of these weapons, 

 which are now on their way to this country. One of the Swiss 

 rifles has already come into the possession of one of General 

 Sheridan's aids, and has been for some days an object of interest 

 to army officers. This rifle embodies in a high degree the prin- 

 ciple of reduced calibers in small arms. The caliber has been 

 reduced from .44 to .30, and a small bullet composed of an alloy of 

 lead and antimony covered with steel has heen substituted for'the 

 old lead buUet. The result has been an increase in the velocity of 

 the bullet, greatly increased penetration and range, and a very 

 flat trajectory or arc described by the ball, which means much 

 better accuracy of tire. Owing to the smooth surface of the steel- 

 clad bullet it is also believed that the wounds inflicted will be 

 much more readily healed. 



CAMBRIDGE, Mass.. Nov. 30.— The second annual competition 

 between the two military companies of Cambridge for the Tribune. 

 trophy took place at the North Cambridge Rifle. Range this after- 

 noon. The wind and light were all that could be desired, but the 

 extreme cold made the handling of the rifles rather unpleasant, 

 and to a greater or less extent served to lower the scores of both 

 teams. In the competition last year the City Guard, Co. B, Fifth, 

 won by a score of 164 to 158, and during the year has pointed with 

 pride to the Tribune's handsome gift, which was hung upon the 

 wall of its meeting room. This year its colors were lowered by 

 the score of 174 to 173. The shooting was at 200yds., each team 

 consisting of 7 men, and each man being allowed 7 shots. The

 Thanksgiving by a target shoot for the company's gold badge, the 

 conditions of the shoot are that a member must win the badge for

MONTREAL, Nov. 26.— Notwithstanding the very unfavorable 

 weather there were over a hundred spectators on the grounds of 

 the Montreal Gun Club, this afternoon, to witness or take part in 

 the Costen cup. A great number of intending shots thought the 

 match would be postponed, and did not turn up, and only teams 

 from Montreal and St. Lawrence were entered. There were 

 several members of other clubs present, but not enough from one 

 club to make up a team. The following sweepstake at 5 birds was 

 shot off previous to the shoot for the cup:

 quet second with 8, and W. McCaw and C, Bonneville with 6 each. 

 Mr. F. G. Williams acted as referee to the satisfaction of ali

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 24.— Notwithstanding that a cold north 

 wind swept in fitful gusts over the range at Bird's Point, this 

 afternoon, a few local cracksmeu put in appearance late in the 

 afternoon. The traps, considering that they have heen out of use 

 for some time, were nicely handled by George Bird, while 

 Whiskers acted as retriever. The scores were, in almost every 

 instance, above the average, and the birds, clays included, were ex- 

 cellent flyers. Owing probably to the state of the wind, several of 

 the pigeons were inclined to be "tailers," hut very few escaped 

 unharmed after all. The first match arranged was a single 6-bird 

 sweepstake, $5 entrance, 18yds. rise: 



Fanning 113112—6 Harper 121001—4 



Clark 011011—4 Garden 101101—4

 match, at 18yds. rise, was arranged. The entrance was placed at 

 Si; two moneys. The score:

NEWARK, Nov. 29.— The pigeon shooting ma tch between Frank

 witnessed by a party of friends of each shooter. The match was 

 for $200, 30 birds each, 31yds. rise, find trap and handle, 80yds. 

 bounds, one barrel. Miles Johnson found the flyers for Berry to 

 shoot at and he trapped them very scientifically. His lot, how- 

 ever, were not as good as those furnished by Bill Wilkinson, of 

 Paterson, for the Hackensack champion to blaze away at. For all 

 this, Ryan, after a close and exciting shoot, won by one bird, kill- 

 ing 24 to his young rival's 23. Although Berry is but a young man, 

 he has been practicing pigeon shooting since he was ten years old, 

 and he showed good judgement in making his shots. Almost
