 30, Hussey and Farrow 29 each, and Edes 27. 



London, July 11.— Private Rippon, of I he 2d Essex Regiment, 

 won the first prize, a bronze medal, in the shooting at Wimbledon 

 for the lirst stage of the contest for the Queen's 'Cup. He made 

 99. . •'' "V r > 



Some of the Massachusetts riflemen took part iu the Windmill 

 contest to-day. Seven shots were allowed at 200 and 500yds., the 

 highest possible score being 70. Huddleston scored 63, Hinman 58, 

 Farrow 57 and Edes 54. In the 800yds. pool Merrill made 4 bulls- 

 eyes otit of 5 shots. 



This evening the American team gave an "At Home," which 

 was attended by a large company, includiug Lord and Lady Wan- 

 tage, Earl and Countess BrownloA, Viscount and Viscountess 

 Bury, Sir Htnrv Halford and all the officers in the camp. Major 

 Jas. P. Frost received the guests. 



London, July 12.— In the shooting at Wimbledon to-day Ogg 

 (Canadian; won first prize in the Windmill contest, with a score 

 of 5S. In the St. George'.- contest Rogers, Weston and Armstrong 

 (Cauad-ans) won money prizes. 



In the Stewart contest. 7 shots at 200yds., standing, Massachu- 

 setts riflemen scored as follows: Huddlesou 34, Hinman 33, Bum- 

 stead 31, Hussey 30, Edes and Merrill 29 each* 



Americans using opeu sights are entitled to compete in the 

 military breechloading contests. 



In the Perinet and Bertr cm contests, 7 shots at 500yds., Hinman 

 made 34 and 32 respectively. In the All-Comers' Aggregate he 

 made 179. 



• London, July 13.— The American riflemen have done splendid 

 work at Wimbledon this week, considering that their own rifles 

 were barred aud that they were compelled to shoot strange guns 

 among strangers. 



Hinman has won a good place in the Alexandria match, and in 

 the Albert competition Hinman, Huddleston and M. W. Bull are 

 among the leading prize winners. Hinman and Huddleston are 

 the highest competitor.--. In 'the "Graphic" match Huddlestou 

 and Doyle are at tbe top. The Stuart prize competition finds 

 Huddleston the top man, with 34 out of 85, and with very little 

 chance of bis score being beaten, as it begins with four and ends 

 with six bul'seyes. Bumstead and Farrow each have 31 in the 

 Heath prize, while Hi. -man made 33; this is good for a first-class 

 prize. The same officer in the Perinet et flJs match has scored 34 

 out of 35, which will probably win the match. 



British marksman highly compliment the shooting of the Mass- 

 achusetts rifle team. 



Spbxnotteld, Mass., July 3.— Before the Massachusetts rifle 

 team left for England to do such excellent work for their country, 

 it was agreed that five marksmen of the 2d Regiment living In 

 Springfield should shoot in competition with tbe Springfield men 

 on the team. To-day was chosen as the time, because it was sup- 

 posed in advance to be the sharpesr, test of the regular team 

 abroad. The home men shot at the 200yds. range at Lake Look- 

 out, using the Government range at Watershop'Pond for 500 and 

 600yds. Owing to Bumstead's phenomenal record, the. stay-at- 

 homes were beateu by just one point in the total, as the scores 

 show:

 The American volunteer riflemen in their matches in England 

 last week broke the world's records with military rifles. Every 

 team they have met bas been picked from the finest English, 

 Scotch and Irish twenties, to say nothing of the Queen's prize 

 winners. For a team shooting entirely without practice, at a 

 strange range every day, their record is remarkable, and has set 

 the English volunteers to thinking. Saturday the Americans 

 went into camp at Wimbledon, where they will compete this 

 week with tbe English volunteers, shooting with the Britishers' 

 own rifles, after which they will go to Pai is for a week, and then 

 sail for home on the City of Chicago July fii,— Philadelphia Public 

 Ledger, The above is rot of the worst description, as the Ameri- 

 can riflemen have neither broken the world's records nor met a 

 really good team, far Jess the pick of the members of the English, 

 Scotch and Irish twenties. How the Americans could have met 

 Scotch or Irish riflemen when they have not been out of England, 

 is a conundrum. If ever they do meet a representative team their 

 "world's records" will not save them from defeat. Their- record 

 is far from being remarkable, and when they run up against the 

 Canadian team they will have to do much better shooting than 

 they have yet shown.— To j -onto Matt. 



The Grenadiers have sent a challenge to the Massachusetts 

 team, which will no doubt be attended to when the team returns, 

 and another defeat given our Dominion shots. 



BOSTON, July 13.— The Massachusetts Rifle Association held its 

 weekly shoot to-day, a very large number of riflemen being 

 present. The day was flue, but hot, with a rather bad wind from 

 i to 9 o'clock. Mr. Leo won the champion gold medal, and Mr. 

 Munroe won the gold medal in the 20-shot rest match. Next 

 Wednesday the range will be opeu at 12:30 P. M. for rifle and 

 pistol shooting. Following are to-day's scores:

WILMINGTON, Del., July 8.— There was a great deal of excel- 

 lent shooting at Healdmoor Range to-day. The third and last 

 match of the scries between two local riflemen and two members 

 of the Kent County Rifle Club was concluded, and resulted in a 

 victory of 7 points for the latter, which, with tbe second match 

 won by them by 3 points, made them winners of the contest. The 

 first match was won by the local team by 20 points, and although 

 it doubled the lead of l he opposing fpam in both matches com- 

 bined, still the terms required the counting of each match sepa- 

 rately. The contest was close and shows the teams very evenly 

 matched. Following are t he scores in detail, standard American

 of their second annual tournament, to be held at Corry, Pa., 

 Aug. 20 to 24, inclusive. A very attractive array of events is 

 offered, including some of a novel character, notably the team race 

 match, in which the ages of the contestants must foot 80 years. 

 There are three trophy shoots, for the Keystone cup, the L. C. 

 Smith cup and the Peters Cartridge Co. cup", which are to be held 

 for one year and then returned to the donors for future comneti- 

 tion. In addition to these the Keystone Manufacturing Co. offers 

 a handsome diamond ring, to be t he personal property of winner 

 and to carry with it the title of "Champion Target Shot of Amer- 

 ica." A new system of handicapping the entrance moneys will 

 be in vogue at this tournament, thus equalizing the chances of 

 all contestants. 



The tournament proper will commence on Tuesday, Aug. 20, 

 but traps and grounds will be in readiness on Monday for sweep- 

 Btake shooting, so that all who wish to may become familiar with 

 the grounds and rules. Over §1,000 in money is guaranteed; in 

 fact all the events on the first four days are guaranteed with the 

 exceptii.n of the trophy shoots, and this should induce a large at- 

 tendance. The team race between the East and the West con- 

 sisting of teams of 6 men residing east and west of Corry as the 

 dividing line will be productive of much rivalry and interest. The 

 programme in full is here given and will be sent to any one on 

 application by tbe Keystone Manufacturing Co., of Corry, Pa.

Contest No. 3 will be the greatest event of the flftb day. This 

 contest is to determine who is the champion target shot of 

 America from year to year. The ring is to be duplicated each 

 year and become the personal property of the winner. As our 

 targets are acknowledged to be the "strongest flyers," we consider 

 this a fair trial to determine who is the champion target shot 

 each year. There will be nobody barred, no favorites played and 

 no handicaps. The ring is a handsome diamond; the setting em- 

 blematic of a Keystone target. 



The team race between East and West is looked forward to with 

 great interest by both sides, and will evidently be one of the most 

 important events ever shot in America. We have appointed O. R. 

 Dic key, of Boston, Mass., as our Eastern captain, and C. W. Budd 

 of Des Moines, Iowa, as our Western captain. Six men constitute 

 a team. Corry is the dividing line. Dicky has his choice of any 

 six men living east of Corry, and Budd of any six men living west 

 of Corry. The entrance for this event will be $60 per team. Each 

 captain is expected to have at least 10 men on the grounds to 

 select from. 



In framing the Keystone rules for 1899, we have been very care- 

 ful to use ouly such rules as we feel will give perfect satisfaction 

 to all. We do not believe in allowing a shooter another shot, 

 unless through the fault of the gun. If we do not have a rule to 

 compel all to lose their shot, if through their own fault, we are 

 satisfied that it will caus e a great deal of trouble for the referee, 

 and will not teach young shooters to be careful, which we con- 

 sider very important; so we shall continue to use the old rule. 

 If the fault of the gun, the shooter is entitled to another shot. 

 If the fault of the shooter— lost bird. There are a good mauy 

 hammeiiess guns in use at the present day that can have a shell 

 placed in the chamber without being cocked. In this case we 

 consider this the fault of the gun, and shall allow another shot; 

 but the gun must not be opened until handtd to the referee. 

 These rules were printed in Forest and Sxhb^m April 6, 1889, 



Tickets to Lakewood and return wiR be honored to Corry and 

 return from all points west. Lakewood is situated 34 miles east 

 of Corrv, and all shooters coming from the East are advised to 

 buy tickets to Lakewood and return, and pay local fare from 

 there to Corry. These rates are better than the excursion rates 

 offered by the railroad companies, and have been an inducement 

 for giving our tournament iu August. Those purchosing tickets 

 to Lakewood and return can have their baggage checked to 

 Corrv, Pa. Everything pertaining to a tournament will be at 

 hand. The ladies of the Episcopal Church wiU serve meals on 

 the grounds.
