RANGE AND GALLERY. 



THE CONNECTICUT STATE SHOOT. 



HARTFORD, Conn., Oct. 17.— The brigade rifle tournament of 

 the Connecticut National Guard was held at the rifle range 

 of the First Regiment at Colt's meadows, to-day. T/ie crack mili- 

 tary target perforators from all parts of the State poured into 

 Hartford from early in the morning, but the fog and the air was 

 so frigid that every hand was too much benumbed to do good 

 work. Major James H. Jarman, brigade inspector of rifle practice, 

 was the executive officer in euarge. It was arranged to have fir- 

 ing commence at 8 o'clock, but at this hour the humidity was so 

 dense that Major Jarman called a consultation of officers aud it 

 was decided that if it did clear up the matches would be decided 

 upon scores made at the 200yds. range only, as it was then im- 

 possible to see the 500yds. target. Firing commenced about 9 

 o'clock and the fog gradually lifted and gave place to a cold, driz- 

 zling rain, which continued during the day, and it was decided to 

 shoot at both targets if possible. A number of tents were erected 

 with blankets under them, enabling the men to shoot from under 

 a partial shelter. 



The first match was the "company team" contest open to teams 

 of six from any organization of the C.N. G., using any weapon 

 issued by the State. The contestants must stand at the 200, and 

 and be prone at 500yds. The prizes for this contest are a $50 

 silver cup, presented by the Wilcox Company of Meriden, the 

 Derby Silver Company cup, a decorated vase valued at S35, pair 

 bronze statuettes valued at 830, and two other $39 prizes. Four 

 targets were shot at continually, keeping up a fusilade like the 

 discharge of a Catling gun, and at the same time pool shooting 

 and individual matches were carried on at other targets. ( Hving 

 to lack of range accommodations, no challenges were allowed, 

 and as a result the markers at the targets wore the supreme dic- 

 tators of the match. In many instances men were given either 

 much more or much lees than they received. A telephone such 

 as is always used on many ranges would have obviated all this 

 difficulty and made a much fairer match. The whims of the 

 markers decided t he cont est and all day there was a big kick. An- 

 other thing the New Haven men found fault with was that mem- 

 bers of the First Regiment: kept the scores while the regiment's 

 team were shooting, although there was no very serious objection 

 to this. Each company team shot five rounds at both targets 



with two sighting shots at 500yds. The following companies were 

 'es II, F, K, First Regiment; companies H. 



represented: Companies 



D, G, A, C, E, K, Second Regiment; companies I, G and E, Third 

 Regiment: companies B and C, Fourth Regmient; Company A 

 Fifth Battallion, and brigade, field and staff. 



The most important competition for regimental pride was the 

 State regimental team match, for two trophies offered by the 

 State, at 200 and 500yds. These prizes are to be competed for 

 annually until one team has won it three times, when it will be- 

 come regimental property. The first prize is a silver cup. The 

 conditions of the match were the same, except twelve men con- 

 stituted the regimental teams. 



Company K of Wallingford shot first at the 200yds. range it the 

 company team match. About $1,500 worth of prizes for this tour- 

 nament have been contributed and otherwise secured, and were 

 on exhibition in nartford to-day. The officers of the match were; 

 Range officer, Major J. H. Jarman, brigade inspector ride prac- 

 tice: assistants, Capt. S. C. Kiugtnau, inspector Fourth Regiment, 

 Capt. Andrew Allen, Second Regiment, Capt. J. B. Houston, First 

 Regiment, and Capt. Thomas H. Allen, Third Regiment; surgeon, 

 Maj. II. G. Howe, First Regiment; statistical officers, Joseph T. 

 Elliott, A. A. G. of brigade and financial officer, Maj. Alexander 

 Allen. Among the well-known officers of the National Guard 

 present were Col. Thomas H. Watson. Biidgeport; Capt. A. H. 

 Embier, of the Blues; Capt. Charles G. Lvon, Bridgeport; Col. W. 

 G. Leavenworth and Lieut. W. H. Newton, Wallingford. 



Company K, of Hartford, won the company team match with a 

 score of 115 at 200yds. and 117 at 500: total, 232. All except Hart- 

 tord militiamen are mad. Tiiey say that the first prize was bound 

 to stay in Hartford anyway, and some officers say that the match 

 was a regular farce. Co. H of the First Regiment withdrew 

 their team on account of unfair scoring after shooting at. tue first 

 targets. It will be a very long time before the effects of the tour- 



town. 86, 55-141; (Jo. £ New London, 95, 91-186; Field and Staff, 

 toecond Regiment, 100, 88-105; Co. G, New London, 98. 88—181; Field 

 and btaff. First Regiment, 98, 106-204; Co. F, Hartford, 98. 104-202; 

 Co C New Haven, 109, 94-203. The best score in the indi- 

 vidual match 200yds., was made by Sergeant Ripley, of Co. K, 

 Hartford. Late m the afternoon regimental team shooting be- 

 gan. 



Oct. 18.— In the regimental team match at the brigade rifle tour- 

 nament at Hartford to-day, as in the company matches, the first 

 prize was awarded to Hartford's First Regiment team. The Sec- 

 ond Regiment protested against awarding the trophy to the First 

 and the matter has been referred to the Adjutant-General. The 

 score was as follows;

TORONTO, Get. 20.-The tenth annual prize meeting of the 

 Toronto Rifle Association was held to-dav on the Garrison com- 

 mon ranges. There, was a fair turn out of local riflemen and 

 much in te rust manifested, the competition being very keen. A 

 stiff wind blew across the ranges, and this, coupled with the cold, 

 damp and cloudy weather, made shooting disagreeable aud kept 

 the score very low. The association has bad a very successful

 expected. The list of prize winners is as follows:

 Dallinger and his men, having been won last year by one point, 

 the score being 174 to 173. Tiie scores of the leading six figured 

 out the same total, and the result hinged on tho scores of the two 

 tailenders, and the man from Central Square came of victor with 

 a score of 23, his opponent scoring 22. It was a close shave, and 

 simply illustrates tne determination with which the battle for

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 20.— The military event of the week hap- 

 pened to-day, when the opening contest of the First Brigade of 

 fbe National Guard of Pennsylvania was shot at the new Hart- 

 rantt Range, at Bridesburg. The construction of the range was 

 commenced last summer, but owing to delay in getting lumber 

 and materials to the ground it has only just been completed. The 

 range is in splendid condition, and regular rifle practice will here- 

 afterbe done by the men. The grounds at present are arranged 

 for LOQ, 200, 300, BOO and 600yds., and may be increased to 1,000yds. 

 the targets are backed by railroad ties that have been piled to a 

 D etgnt ot 18ft. m the rear, insuring against accident. 



Ihe prizes competed for are the gift of Lient.-Col. Thomas Pot- 

 ter, jr., A. D. C. to the commander-in-chief, General Snowden. 

 ihey consist of collar badges; the first prize of geld, the second of 

 silver and the third of bronze. The contest was hetween fourteen 

 teams of four men each, representing companies from the First 

 and Second Regiments, of this city; the Sixth, of West Chester; 

 the 1 ity Troop and the State Fencibles. The men reported at the 

 range at 9 o'clock in the morning, and a practice match occupied 

 the time until noon. All tho contestants were required to appear 

 m uniform, and one team which failed to do so was not allowed 

 to shoot. 



The match began at half-past 1, and finished at five minutes 

 past 4, and considering the want of practice of the men, Major 

 Huidekoper, inspector of rifle practice, says that the score made 

 was particularly good, and very promising for fine marksmanship 

 in the future. The teams shot five shots each man at 200 and 

 500yds., under Creedmoor rules. The winning team scored 151 out 

 of a possible 200, the second scored 128 and the third 127. The 

 individual scores of the winning teams were: Company D, First 

 Regiment, Lieut. Crump 42 out of a possible 50, Sergt. J. O. Bow- 

 man 37, Capt. Hastings 36, Pvt. Glathery 36; total of the team 151, 

 winning the gold badges. Company F of the same regiment, 

 Sergt. Bryan 35, Lieut. Heath 33, Cant.. Filer 19, Pvt. Neffeldorf 41. 

 Ihe third team. Company 1, of the Sixth Regiment, of West 

 Chester, made 127 as follows: Capt. Paxton 34. Sergt. Ogier 22, 

 Pvt. Phillips 27, Pvt. Johnson 34. The lowest, score was 82, "by the 

 Nornstown Company. The shooting wad rendered more difficult 

 by a strong and uncertain wind. The second match will be shot 

 next; Saturday for prizes of gold badges with diamond and ruby 

 bullseyes, and the '"Potter trophy" and others. 



ST. LOUIS, Oct. 20.— An even dozen were present at the regular
