RANGE AND GALLERY. 



"TRIBUNE" MATCH OF 1889. 



AS mentioned in the Forest and Stream of several issues past, 

 the New York Tribune has resolved to throw open another 

 rifle match to public competition. This time, however, careful 

 aim has been taken to avoid the annoying conclusions of the 

 previous match, and it is hoped that this time at least the best 

 man may win, and win without leaving a big cloud of doubt over 

 the record. 



It is proposed on this occasion to have two matches. One of 

 tbem will be conlined to amateurs who have had only a desultory 

 or limited experience wit h the rifle, or who have never been 

 members of any shooting organization of any kind— rifle club, 

 gun club, the army, or the militia— or who have not made a score 

 of 45 or over in any match out of a possible 51). While there may 

 be, and doubtless are, many good shots in the country who have 

 never joined a club of marksmen or a military organization, we 

 think the young men who are just learning the rifle or the older 

 men who shoot simply for recreation will compete on more nearly 

 equal terms with the field by arranging a class of this sort for 

 them. This will give the farm boys particularly an excellent 

 chance. 



Tbe other match is proposed for the benefit of marksmen who 

 have had military experience, or who have been members of rifle 

 or gun clubs, or who have made scores of 45 or more out of a pos- 

 sible 50. 



Merely for convenience in designation the class first above 

 named will be called "ama teurs" and the second class "marks- 

 men," 



All who take part ia these matches must be readers of the 



Tribune, 



Upon one point the Tribune wishes to make a few comments. 

 If ail the competitors could be gathered for the Ma v matches upon 

 one broad plain, like that at any of the official rifle ranges in the 

 country, they would all shoot under exactly the same conditions 

 of the weather, and with the same force, of inspectors, scorers and 

 markers to record their scores. They would also stand in the 

 presence of all the other competitors, whose oversight of the pro 

 ceedings would serve as a safeguard against any of the pranks 

 and tricks of impulsive youth, or any unallowable expedients for 

 obtaining ad vantages on the part of earnest competitors of mature 

 years. The gathering of the competitors at one point is, however 

 entirely out of the question. How then can the matches be made 

 perfectly fair, so far as weather conditions are concerned, and 

 how shall compliance with the terms be made so complete that, 

 when the shoot, is over, every competitor shall not only have the 

 honest pleasure of worthy and wholesome entertainment, but 

 shall feel the sat isfaction of having had fair play in an honorable 

 comnctition with honorable gentlemen? The first point will be 

 covered by allowing each marksman to choose for his record shoot- 

 ing any day within a given week. There ought to be at least 

 one tranquil day in a week in the middle of May. That should be 

 considered fair play, so far as weather is concerned. On the point 

 of strict compliance with the terms by every competitor, the 

 Tribune proposes to reserve the right, of private inquiry and a full 

 investigation in every case; but, after all, its main reliance is on 

 the gentlemanly honor and spirit of fair play of every reader. 

 Willful violations of the terms, in order to gain advantage, would 

 necessarily result in the publication and disqualification of the 

 offender, that being t he practice of all clubs and military organi- 

 zations, and publication in the Tribune will be severe; but the 

 Tribune has no fear that there will he any such violations, and 

 the matter is only discussed as an answer to a few inquiries.
