RANGE AND GALLERY. 



THE AMERICAN MILITARY TEAM. 



THE Boston papers give full particulars to date of the pro- 

 posed visit of a military team of Massachusetts Guardsmen 

 tio England. The Boston HcraleJ of March 3 says: 



"Matters have progressed so well that there is no longer any 

 reasonable doubt that the proposed visit of the crack shots of 

 the Massachusetts volunteer militia to England this summer 

 will be carried out. Maj. Frost, who conceived the idea, looked 

 the ground over very carefully and decided that the trip was a 

 feasible one and could be undertaken with very good chances for 

 success, and without further ado he sot about it. After obtain- 

 ing permission to open correspondence, he did so, and received 

 assurance of a cordial welcome from the English volunteers, and 

 a promise that matches would be arranged as suggested in his 

 letter. He then obtained an official indorsement to his communi- 

 cation to the adjutant-general, that permission would be granted 

 for the team to leave Massachusetts with arms and uniforms 

 and then proceedod with the details. 



"In brief, the trip will be as follows: The team, which will 

 probably consist of 15 officers and men, will leave Boston on the 

 afternoon of Tuesday, June 18. and sail from New York at 10 

 A. M. the next flay on the City of Chicago, of the Inman line for 

 Liverpool, On the way to London they may stop over at Birming- 



ham to compete with the crack English team at that place, and 

 will reach London about June 29. During the succeeding week 



two or more team competitions with the great county organiza- 

 tions ot the British volunteers. Only 10 days will be devoted to 

 sightseeing, those from July 20 to 30, and the team will sail for 

 a v „ m on *- ne snnle steamer July 31, arriving in Boston about 

 nof the 13 shooting men have already been selected 

 and notified of that fact, with the proviso that thev must be in 

 absolute shooting trim, and that any man who neglects his prac- 

 tice is liable to be dropped at the last moment and his place filled 

 ?!«»■?" i iJoo Th 5 se men we , ro a11 members of the State teams of 

 itx.1 and 1888, and rumors that any others have been selected are 

 entirely unfoundod. Maj. Frost will probably bold a series of 

 competitions early in April to decide upon the remaining three 

 men, which will be open to all members of the militia in the ser- 

 vice March 1. 



"The expense of the trip is estimated at $6,500, and will be raised 

 entirely by private su Inscription. Blanks will be ready early this 

 week and may be had on application to Adjt.-Gen. Dalton, Mr. 

 Asa. P. Potter, president, of the Maverick National Bank, treas- 

 urer of the fund, and Maj. Frost, captain of the team. As an 

 illustration of the interest taken in the project by business men, 

 it may he said that one person on Friday secured $1,100 from nine 

 gentlemen. While subscriptions are to be acknowledged in the 

 papers throughout the State, it is understood that there will be 

 no direct .appeal to the public. There is no doubt that all the 

 money necessary will be offered from private sources when the 

 record of the Massachusetts team is remembered, and the fact 

 that it has won both the inter-State and military and naval 

 championships of America for the past three vears, and at pres- 

 ent holds both the trophies. The trip will be a military one from 

 first to last, both officers and men leaving Boston in uniform, and 

 remaining so until their return. The discipline, while strict, will 

 not be unwelcome, as every member of the team stakes his indi- 

 ^JjLial reputation to maintain abroad the prestige already won at

ST. LOUIS, Mo., March 2.— With the single exception of Mr- 

 Perret, all the leaders in the general average took a tumble at 

 the last shoot of the Pistol Club, and what is more he came to 

 the rescue of the club last Wednesday and saved its reputation 

 by making 84, which also proved high for the meeting, in conse- 

 quence of which he will hold possession of the medal until the 

 next shoot. The handicap men still hold a good lead for the 

 prizes, and it is almost impossible for the scratch men to head 

 them off. The attendance at the last shoot was only fair. 20vds.

SCORES AND SLANDER. — At the shooting festival of the In- 

 dependent German Scbuetzen Corps at Lion Park, on June 27, 

 1887, Fredorick Eisele made a score of 52 and claimed the gold 

 medal prize. Bernhard Walther disputed the correctness of the 

 score and called Mr. Eisele a "bluffer" and a "swindler" and was 

 sued by the latter gentleman in the City Court before Judge 

 Browne. The jury brought in a verdict in Mr. Eisele's favor, and 

 Mr. Walther made an appeal to the. General Term. Judges Mc- 

 Adam and McGown yesterday decided that Walther simply used 

 the words in reference to the score and not to Eisele himself, and 

 that although the terms were strong and vulgar ones, they were 

 not actionable unless specific damages were alleged. These spe- 

 cific charges were not set forth in Mr. Eisele's complaint, and the 

 judgment was reversed and a new trial ordered, with costs to the 

 appellant.— Ne, w York Times, 



r,£°^y£ K ?' Mass.— At an enthusiastic meeting of the Holyoke 

 Rifle Club the following were elected: President, W. Milton Far-

A MISS-AND-OUT COMPLICATION. 



CHICAGO, 111. Feb. Zl.-Editor Forest and Stream: For the 

 benefit of many of your readers in this city and at Crown 

 Point, Ind., please decide the following problem: 



In a shoot held at Crown Point, recently, A, B, C, D and E shot 

 a miss-aud-out sweepstake, $1 entrance. On the first round, all 

 killed but C, who offered an extra dollar for the privilege of re- 

 entering. This was granted and on the second round, all killed 

 but E, who desired C's privilege of re-entry. This was also 

 acceded to, but the rule was then made that no shooter should 

 re-enter more than once. On the third round B missed and re- 

 entered and on the fourth round D missed and came in again 

 AH had then massed and re-entered except A. On the next round" 

 C missed for his second time and was out. On the sixth round, 

 A, B, D and E all killed, and on the seventh all missed. A, who 

 had until then a. clean score, then claimed the right to step to the 

 score, kill his next bird, and take the money without letting B, D 

 and E shoot. In this claim he is upheld by a paper to wnich the 

 affair was referred, and which holds that under the special rule 

 made, the others were out on their second miss, not regarding 

 the fact that A had also missed on that round and that therefore 

 tne .round was a dead one, precisely the same as the sixth, in 

 which all killed. 



Such prominent shooters and undoubted authorities as R B 

 Organ. John J. Kleinman, John Watson, Abner Price, Ed Price" 

 W G. Payson, and many other Chicago sportsmen, all decide that 

 the other shooters must have an equal chance with A on the 

 eighth round, as all stood at the end of the seventh in precisely 

 the same relations as at the end of the sixth. When A missed in 

 the seventh he had in reserve his right of re-entrv which no one 

 else possessed^but when all missed on that round'be was restored 

 to all his previous rights without the necessity or privilege of put- 

 ting up his extra dollar. The failure of one of the other shooters 

 to kul left A m the same position as though the round had not 

 been shot. However, had one of them killed, A could have put up 

 his extra money and forced the other shooter to contest another 

 round. This being unnecessary by the failure of all to kill, A was 

 restored his full right of re-entry, which he could exercise on 

 some succeeding round when he missed and some one else killed 

 He has but one dollar in the pot against i lie. others' two each, and" 

 it is an absurd proposition that when he has missed a bird he can 

 take all the money merely because the others also missed. The 

 special rule made does not apply in the case of the seventh round 

 as A, by missing, forfeited his present interest in the pot, and it 

 was only restored to him by the others failing to kill. 



The unanimous opinion of all the Chicago sportsmen, who may 

 be properly regarded authorities by virtue of long experience, is 

 as outlined above, and I have endeavored at such length to place 

 the point properly before you. The following diagram explains 

 the rounds as each weie shot: 



12345678 

 ■ -- 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 

 .110 1110 

 ... 1 1 1 

 ... 1 1 1 1 1 



Will you kindly give your opinion in your next issue, and much 

 oblige myself and many others. W. P. Mussey. 



[The decision given by the paper was correct. If this had been 

 a simple miss-and-out match, it would be true that the seventh 

 round should be considered a dead one, and A would then be on 

 an equality with the rest. But the agreement to allow one re- 

 entry apiece made this in effect a two-misses-and-out match. In 

 a plain, straight miss-and-out, when a shooter misses once he is 

 out for good and all, unless the heat be a dead one by all the 

 contestants missing. In the same way in this two-misses-and-out 

 match when a contestant misses twice he is out for good and 

 all, unless the round be a dead one, because in it all the con- 

 testants miss their second time. The seventh round in this case 

 was not a dead one; in it B, D and E missed for the second time 

 each and were out; A missed only for the first time; was not on 

 a level with the rest who had missed twice, and has the right to 

 put up his dollar and go into the next round all alone. In other 

 words, the match was one of successive stages, each man 

 had the right to go on to another stage until barred out by two 

 failures. C exhausted his privileges in the fifth stage; B, D and
