OUR TEAM ABROAD. 



FIVE TRAM VICTORIES PRECEDE THE WEEK AT WIMBLEDON. 



[From our Special Cenrespondcnt.'] 



ON BOARD CITY OF CHICAGO.-There is a national inter- 

 est following any rifle team that has the temerity to cross 

 the Atlantic, and try conclusions with the English marksmen. 

 This is as it should be; and it seems to he an additional incentive 

 to the present team that each shall do their utmost in every way 

 to honorably win. The previous team pulled well together, but 

 a great mistake was made, in the selection of the captain for that 

 team; be was a lawyer and not a marksman. This is from a rifle- 

 man's point of view, and whatever is sent you by the subscriber 

 in regard to the present team, its wins or losses, its victories or 

 defeats, is strictly from a rifleman's point of view. Certain of 

 the marksmen that came home on the defeated team under Law- 

 yer Howard were not satisfied that the Americans had done their 

 best. The captain, if he had been a practical rifleman, could 

 have known and foreseen the mistakes that were made, at the 

 long ranges, where the match was lost. The present, team have 

 avoided the extreme long ranges, and will contest with a strictly 

 military musket at military dist ances, viz.: 200. 500 and 600yds. 



This being the first international match with the regulation 

 musket and ammunition of each country, will it not be a com- 

 parative test of the two systems'/ Take the ammunition, for 

 instance, that of the U. S. is of ,45-cal., containing 70grs. of pow- 

 der, around-headed bullet having three grooves filled with Japan 

 wax set deep in the shell, and the muzzle of the shell crimped to 

 securely hold the bullet in position. About half of the bullet is 

 exposed, the grooved portion with the lubricant being concealed 

 inside the shell. This cartridge can be covered by water for a 

 week and stiU be as serviceable as before the immersion. The 

 cartridges for the Martini-Henry are supplied with a paper- 

 patched bullet, 85grs. of powder, a, lubricating disc between the 

 powder and bullet, the shell is bottle-necked, made of folded and 

 twisted thin brass, securelv fastened to a steel head. It is known 

 as the Boxer cartridge. Like the American ammunition it is 

 central fire. It would, seem to the writer that the English am- 

 munition, with its paper-patched bullet, could not stand the ex- 

 posure to wet and rough usage that would be incident to a serious 

 campaign. The outfit of the present team in the wav of uniform 

 and equipments could hardly he improved upon. Thanks to the 

 untiring energy of Major Frost, each member was measured and 

 fitted from top to toe with full dress and fatigue, and a finer and 

 more soldierly looking team it would be hard to find. 



It should be borne in mind that this is a series of contests and 

 not, as heretofore, a single match; the team is booked for five 

 separate matches with as many distinct military orjranizations. 

 The struggle will therefore be of value comparatively for rifles 

 and ammunition, as skill of the marksmen. One serious obstacle 

 has been present to the American marksmen ever since the 

 dates for the matches were settled. The first contest on July 2 

 coming so soon after the arrival of the team in England, will 

 hardly give them time to recover from a ten days' voyage 

 across the Atlantic. The chances, however, had to be taken, and, 

 at this present writing (one day from Qneenstown), with the 

 voyage almost completed, am glad to say, with only one or two 

 exceptions, the members have done remarkably well to keep up, 

 and scarcely to miss being at the table each meal time. The 

 first few days were pleasant, but some very big waves were mixed 

 up with the small ones t making the ship roll in a rather un- 

 comfortable manner; this had a disastrous effect on the stomachs 

 of a number, but the continuance of pleasant weather, and the 

 big waves having in a great measure subsided, all recovered to 

 the degree mentioned above. It was anticipated before the start 

 that the team would arrive in London on Friday afternoon, but 

 from the present appearance it will he Sunday morning before 

 the great city is reached. This will allow but one night's rest 

 before shooting, and should the present physical appearance of 

 the team be deceptive, should a re-action set in, and certain of 

 the team become incapacitated for good work with the mulish 

 Springfield, that kicks loOlbs at each shot, then good-by to vic- 

 tory. The cantain and the surgeon are taking great care of the 

 men, and nothing is spared for the comfort and well being of each 

 and every one. Aiming and snapping drill has been maintained 

 each day, and hundreds of imaginary bullseyes have been 

 wasted on the waste of waters. 



Some gloom prevailed for the first few days, a steerage passenger 

 died when Sandy Hook was barely out of sight. A burial at sea 

 is impressive and this one was scarcely over, the pine box could 

 yet be seen bobbing up and down far away astern, when it was 

 whispered among the passengers that another man was dead. A 

 fireman had come up from his labors covered with perspiration, 

 lay down over a grating, a draft of air had chilled his body, and 

 he could not be awakened. Next day the second hox was slowly 

 slid from a plank into the blue waters and floated quickly astern, 

 showing one end occasionally as it rose and feU with the waves! 

 We have always supposed at sea the box or coffin should be 

 weighted enough to cause it to sink immediately to unfathomable 

 depths, but such was not the case with these two unfortunates. 

 After the fifth day these occurrences were apparently forgotten. 

 The team men began to count the, intervening days before our 

 arrival, how much time would they have to prepare for the first 

 match with the team from the Berkshire regiment, commanded 

 by Lord Wantage, chairmau of the Council of the National Rifle 

 Association of Great Britain. This regiment carries the colors of 

 Princess Charlotte and of itB team we learn a great deal; their 

 scores are very creditable, and the Massachusetts team must 

 meet them on their own grounds, where the Berks are perfectly 

 at home. There they have been practicing assiduously for the 

 bast two weeks noting the varying winds, the changing at- 

 mosphere and puzzling radiance of the sunshine; these are tiie 

 elements with which the marksmen must contend. The Ameri- 

 cans are well versed in these changes on their home ranges and 

 expect to "catch on" to the English variations without much 

 difficulty. 



Quartermaster Grathwicke of the 4th V. B. Devon has been ap- 

 pointed honorary secretary for the Massachusetts team. It is a 

 very pleasant appointment of a most agreeable aud business-like 

 gentleman to the team's assistance. He holds the position of 

 honorary secretary to the famous English Twenty Club, and is 

 known to all riflemen in the United Kingdom. His arrangement 

 of matches for the week consist of: 



Tuesday, July 2, with team from the Royal Berkshire Reg't. 



Wednesday, July 3. London Rifle Brigade, and lunch with Lord 

 Sir Edward Pelham Clinton. 



Thursday. Julv 4, Sussex County Team, dine with the Mayor. 



Friday, July 5, South London Rifle Team. 



Saturday, July 6, with a team selected from the London Scot- 

 tish and the Queen's Westminster. 



The conditions insisted on by Major Frost to govern these 

 matches were very simple: Distances 200, 600 and 600yds., posi- 

 tion standing, off-hand at 200yds., prone at 500 and 600yds., com- 

 petitors to be volunteers in good stauding in their respective 

 corps, rifles bona fide Government muskets, with service ammu- 

 nition. 



The above matches will be competed with twelve men on each 

 team, and seven shots at each distance, with two sighting shots 

 at 200yds, 



Some question has been raised by the Berks as to the position 

 at 200yds., but Maj. Frost will insist on the standing off-hand 

 position, and not allow the prone, as is desired by the Berkshires. 



A word as to rifles. It is well known that the expert shots at 

 Wimbledon do not use the Martini manufactured and furnished 

 by the English Government, but these fine marksmen have Mar- 

 tini-Henry rifles made up by private rifle manufacturers to their 

 order, thus securing as their own private property a finer and 

 more accurate weapon. These weapons have to bear the Govern- 

 ment viewer's marks for safety and compliance with the regula- 

 tion Government pattern in length, weight and bore; otherwise 

 it may have all the pains taken possible to improve its powers. 



The captain of the American team having lately learned of 

 this, will see to it that no unjust usage is made of rifles of private 

 manufacture. It must certainly be conceded that the English 

 Volunteers are not armed with rifles of privatemanufacture.no 

 more than the National Guard of the States; and it is hoped that 

 the teams will meet on equal terms and carry out the contests as 

 was the intention and spirit of the promoters of the enterprise. 



P. S.-^June $7.— Major Frost received letters from Hon. Secre- 

 tary Grathwicke, on the arrival of the Chicago at Qneenstown, 

 informing him that the Honorable Artillery Company will meet 

 the team at Euston Station in London. It seems now possible 

 that the riflemen will leave Liverpool for London on the 3 P. M. 

 train, arriving at 6:30 the same evening. The Berkshires have 

 accepted conditionally (subject to an interview with Major Frost) 

 the position at 200yds., standing and off-hand. The Americans 

 will not concede the prone or lying down to the "Berks," and 

 this match may yet be declared off. F. Arrow. 



London, July 2.— Victory perched on the banner of the Massa- 

 chusetts rifle team again to-day, and some people begin to sus- 

 pect she intends to stay there as long as these crack target 

 shooters remain on this side of the water. The team shot off a 



match with the First Royal Berkshires at Churn and defeated it 

 even more easily than the Honorable Artillery Company was 

 done for on Monday. 



The Americans led in totals of 37 points at 200yds., 26 at 500yds., 

 and 39 at 600yds. Their lead, accordingly, in the grand total at 

 the three ranges was 92. The match was witnessed by about 500 

 people, among whom were Lord Wantage, Viscount Bury, and 

 q' ite a number of ladies. The rifle range at Churn— Lord Want- 

 age's—is an open one on the downs, and was pronounced by the 

 Americans as first-class. The weather was pleasant, with a 

 gentle and steady breeze blowiug from the right. 



As in Monday's match, the Americans shot with Springfield 

 rifles, and their opponents with the Martini-Henry gun. The 

 Americans increased their lead at each of the three distances, 

 and at the 500 and 600 ranges did some quite brilliant shooting. 

 The first table shows a total for each contestant out of a possible 

 35, at the 200 aud 500 ranges respectively; the second table shows 

 the totals at 600yds. and the aggregate, for the three ranges.

 The Berkshire regiment made a total at the three ranges of 972. 

 After the match both teams were tendered a lunch by Lord 

 Wanta.ee, who congratulated the Americans upon their victory. 

 He said that they bad a better rifle, and declared he was greatly 

 impressed by their skill and steadiness in firing. He alluded to 

 their having gained two substantial victories within a few hours 

 of their landing on English soil, and expressed his hope that they 

 would continue to be victorious. 



London, July 3.— The Massachusetts rifle team scored its third 

 successive victory to-day by defeating the London Rifle Brigade 

 at Rainham. The shooting was at ranges of 200, 500 and 600yds., as 

 in the previous matches, and the. Americans worsted their oppo- 

 nents at each of them, leading with 32 points at 200yds., 38 at 

 5(10vds., 7 at. 1500yds. and 77 in the grand total. The weather and all 

 the conditions were very favorable for the marksmen. At the 

 500vds. range the Americans did some brilliant shooting, Doyle 

 and Bumstead making clean scores. The following is the'score:

 tors by 77 points. 



The American team will shoot against the Sussex team to-mor- 

 row at Brighton. 



Last night at the Hoi born Restaurant the London Rifle Brigade 

 entertained the Massachusetts team at dinner. A large company 

 was present. Major Edward .Mat they occupied the chair. After 

 the usual loyal toasts had been proposed and responded to the 

 chairman proposed toasts to the President of the United States 

 and to the health of the winning team, observing that he would 

 carry the team back about one hundred years, the reason being 

 that to-morrow was the Fourth of July, the anniversary of Amer- 

 ican independence. They were now associated one with another. 

 In fact they were now brothers and not fighting one against an- 

 other. 



Major Frost, of the Massachusetts team, responded. 



London, July 4.— The Massachusetts rifle team went to Brighton 

 to-day and shot against the Sussex County Volunteers. At the 

 station the Sussex team was drawn up in line, and acted as a 

 guard of honor. The riflemen drove through the city to the water- 

 front range, near the Brighton race track. A strong gale of wind 

 was blowing. It was very puffy and bad for good shooting. It is 

 the proud boast of the people hereabouts that the downs are 

 always breezy, and the Americans quickly arrived at the conclu- 

 sion that the natives must be right. The local sportsmen would 

 not have it that the wind was more than fresh. The fact remains, 

 however, that the wind was very strong, and blew right across 

 the rango in an erratic fashion, very bewildering to the strangers. 

 Maj. Frost seemed anxious, and he became almost unhappy 

 when, for the first time since their arrival in England, his men 

 were beaten in their favorite standing range. 200yds., in which 

 they were actually 12 points behind the Sussex men. On moving 

 back for the 500yds., the Massachusetts team rallied and did good 

 shooting, both at the 500 and 600yds. The first six men at the 

 500yds. made up the loss, and the rest was easy, the Americans 

 finally winning the best contested match they have been engaged 

 in this side of the Atlantic by 088 against 010 points. The best 

 American score, 92 points, was made by Lieut. Hussey, which was 

 seven ahead of the top score on the other side. Following are the 

 scores: 



Massachusetts— Hussey 92, Edes 90, Sergeant Bull 86, Farrow 86, 

 Hinman 85, Private Bull 83, Huckllesiou 81, FarnswoJtn. 79, Bum- 

 stead 79, Doyle 78, Merrill 76, Johnston 73; total 988. 



Sussex team— Leggett 85, Tisdale 80. Brown 80, Fowler 80, Cortes 

 79, Barr 78, Lilley 78, Gates 73, Donovan 73, Kirk 71, Livesay 68, 

 Milton 65: total 910. 



After the match both teams were dined by Mayor Sendall, of 

 Brighton. A large delegation of citizens was present, including 

 several ex-mayors. Speeches were made by Mayor Sendall and 

 others, and Maj. Frost responded. 



All the Massachusetts boys started out to-day with a firm in- 

 tention to enjoy the national holiday, with discretion, however. 

 The South Londoners, although they have been practicing assid- 

 uously to-day, arc not likely to lower the stars and stripes. 



The Massachusetts men were invited to the Albamhra Theater 

 this evening, where the top score man in to-day's match, Hussey, 

 received a handsome prize from the Sussex team.

 London, July 5.— The Massachusetts rifle team won its fifth 

 successive victory to-day, defeating the South London Club at 

 Nuuhead by 43 points in the total. The weather was delightful; 

 but, as seems to be the rule at Nunhead Range, a tricky wind was 

 blowing. The conditions, however, were in pleasant contrast to 

 those which prevailed on the downs at Brighton, and the Ameri- 

 can team showed its strength by running up at 200yds. the best 

 score it has made from the shoulder since coming to England. 



F. Bull registered a clean score at 500yds. The following is the 

 record:
