BOSTON, March 26.— There was a fair attendance at Walnut

 high wind, and few scores were finished. Following were the best

MUZZLE VS. BREECH MATCH. 



A TOURNAMENT of muzzle vs. breechloading rifles will be 

 held at Jamestown, N. Y., May 17 to 20, under the auspices and 

 rules of the Anderson Rifle Club, of Syracuse, N. Y., C. H. Reiner, 

 President. The projectors explain that for more than a year the 

 shooting public have been agitating the merits of muzzle and 

 breechloading rifles. On one side can be found a band of earnest, 

 thoughtful sportsmen, who think that wonderful scores in shoot- 

 ing can only be reached by men who use muzzleloading rifles, but on 

 the other hand stand a band of equally careful, intelligent men, 

 who are convinced that such an idea is an error, and who advance 

 logical statements in favor of breechloaders. The controversy 

 that has arisen over such a wide difference of opinion has been 

 waged with ability by the friends of both systems, and there is 

 hardly a sporting paper in the world that has not published logi- 

 cal arid well written articles on the subject, which contain appar- 

 ently good and sufficient reasons why each system is the true one. 

 But unfortunately all of this has really settled nothing, for you 

 cannot alter a. fact by citing isolated cases. Because one man has 

 made a wonderful success with a muzzleloading rifle there is no 

 justice in condemning the use of breechloaders. And again., 

 because a phenomenal target score has been made by a seconci 

 sportsman with a breechloading rifle, it is not. wise to call upon 

 sportsmen to cast aside their muzzleloading rifles. Then, there 

 is but one way, and that is to put this question of pre-eminence 

 "to the test of practical experiment. Let the best shots in the 

 world who favor either muzzle or breechloading rifles meet: in 

 friendly contest, and let the official records decide this Question. 



The home of the champions of muzzleloading rifles is at James- 

 town, Chautauqua county, N. Y., and for this reason the Anderson 

 Rifle Club, of Syracuse, N. Y., has secured the use of the range of 

 the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio Shooting Club, known to 

 riflemen as the "Nypano Club," located at Falconers, on the N. Y. 

 P. & O. R, R., at the crossing of the D. A. Y. & P. R. R., two miles 

 from Jamestown, at which place it will hold a tournament where 

 this momentous question can be fully and fairly decided. James- 

 town is easy to reach, has the advantage of a perfectly appointed 

 range, fine hotel accommodations, and visiting riflemen can be 

 assured that they will be hospitably received and fairly treated. 



The programme of the tournament has been carefully arranged, 

 with a view of giving both muzzle and breechloading rifles equal 

 advantage. 



Each day there will be $75 divided into five prizes, giving Mi 

 as the first, $18.75 as the second, $15 as the third, $11.25 as the 

 fourth, and $7.50 as the fifth prize. In addition there will be a 

 cash prize of $10 for the best average made each day by any one 

 contestant, providing that such contestant enters in all of the 

 strings fired during that day. While this applies daily during the 

 shoot, still another easn prize, of $50 is offered to the contestant 

 making the best average during the entire, tournament. 



The conditions of entry will be $5 for a first entry fee each day. 

 Any contestant can re-enter by the payment of *$1 for each re- 

 entry.

ST. LOUIS, March 23.— At the last meeting of the Pistol Club 

 Lee Y. D. Perret again won the medal, scoring three times in 

 succession Under the conditions the medal now becomes his 

 personal property. Mr Perret wished to present the club with 

 the medal, but the members declined it, he having worked hard 

 to win it, and another medal will be shot for under slightly al- 

 tered conditions. It will be seen by the score that Perret and 

 Clark tied on 115. The following are the scores, possible 120:

SHOOTING THE FOUNTAIN.-St. Louis, March 24.-Shooting 

 of the fountain is a. new style of rifle practivc introduced in St. 

 Louis by Julius Lange, and now exceedingly popular. It is a 

 novelty. The range of shooting is about 60ft. and the target is an 

 egg shell or small cork ball. The charm of the invention lies 

 mainly in the fact that the target is entirely beyond the control 

 of any one. The fountain is a small water pipe extending upward 

 through a V-shaped basket, throwing a stream about the size of 

 an ordinary lead pencil. The emptv egg shell or cork ball is 

 borne up and kept dancing in the air by the stream of water, and 

 the irregular pressure of the water keeps it constantly in motion. 

 Should the hall or egg shell be thrown to either side b\ the jet of 

 water, it simply falls into the Y-shaped basket, rolls to the bot- 

 tom, where it is caught by the water jet and elevated again, all in 

 less time than it takes to write it. The stream has a pressure suf- 

 ficient to keep the egg shell at an elevation of from 5 to 6ft. from 

 the bottom of the basket, sometimes diminishing so as to allow
