RANGE AND GALLERY. 



OUR TEAM AT HOME. 



THE Massachusetts rifio team reached America again on Sat- 

 urday morning last. They en me by the Citv of Obioago, and 

 at the pier General George W. Wingate was present with a c om- 

 mittee of the National Rifle Association to meet them. The 

 committee consisted, hesides General Wingate. of General Charles 

 F. Bobbins, inspector of rifle practice: Major-General Josiah 

 Porter and General Ferdinand Karle. There were also Colonel 

 H. S. Stoekweil, inspector of rifle practice; Major Berrv and 

 Major Shorkley, of Boston. After the team's luggage had ps 

 inspection by the Custom House officers i hey got into carriages 

 and were driven to the City Hall. Their baggage in the mean- 

 time was loaded on a truck and carted to the foot of Murray 

 street, the pier of the Fall River line for Boston. A detail of Cap- 

 tain Wilson's Second Battery, N. G. S. N. Y., acted as an escort 

 as the men filed into the City Hall. 



In the mayor's room the victors were met by Judge Henry A. 

 Giidersleeve, who made a neat presentation speech, and Mavor 

 Grant then said: 



"Major Frost and members of the Team of Massrehusetts Vol- 

 unteer Militia: I have great pleasure, on behalf of the city of 

 New York, in welcoming you upon this occasion, and still more 

 in being able to congratulate you upon the great success which 

 you have achieved abroad. Washington said with truth that 

 'the great defense of a free government is a well-regulated mili- 

 tia.' It has always been the policy of our government to keep up 

 a small standing army, and to trust to the citizen soldiery of the 

 various States tor our defense in time of trouble. This the his- 

 tory of the nation has shown to be wise. While other countries 

 are almost crushed by the immense standing armies they are 

 compelled to maintain, while the streets of foreign cities are 

 crowded with uniformed men taken from civil life and sup- 

 ported by taxation, here the professional soldier is practically 

 unnoticed among us. It is therefore of great importance that 

 everything which renders our National Guard efficient in war 

 should be encouraged, and that those who show themselves pro- 

 ficient should be commended. Among all the duties of a soldier 

 there is none more necessary than skill in the use of the rifle 

 with which ho is armed. You have not only demonstrated that 

 at Creed moor, but in the five contests in which you have h?en 

 pitted against the selected riflemen of the English Volunteers 

 you have nobly maintained the honor of the United States. Our 

 people are proud of the skill you have shown, are proud if your 

 victories. Our sister State Massachusetts, which you have so 

 worthily represented, will undoubtedly receive von with all the 

 honor which is your just due. I desire, on behalf of the State 

 and city of New York, to join with it in tendering to you mv sin- 

 cere congratulations upon youi\sueeess and my best wishes for 

 your future." 



In response Major Frost said that he had tried to uphold the 

 honor of America, and in doing this he trusted that the work of 

 the team would reflect credit not only upon his own State of 

 Massachusetts, but upon New York State and citv as well. 



After the reception the party left the City 'Hall, and at 11 

 o'clock again entered the carriages in waiting. They were driven 

 to the Hotel Normandie, Thirty-seventh street and Broadway 

 reaching there at noon. A banquet, provided bv General Ferd'i- 

 nand P. Earle, chief of artillery on Governor Hill's staff, with 

 covers set for fifty, was in readiness, and the riflemen and their 

 distinguished entertainers immediately sat down to enjoy the 

 good things. 



There were many neat bits of speeches and, amid a great ap- 

 plause, the following despatch from Boston was received: 



Maj. J. P. Frost— Your comrades and self will be received at 

 the depot here by a delegation of officers from all the military 

 organizations in the Stale. They will escort you to Young's 

 Hotel, where a breakfast will be given you on behalf of the State 

 of Massachusetts. On Monday morning you will be. given a break- 

 fast by the city of Boston, at which Mayor Hart will preside, and 

 a reception will follow. (Signed) The Committee. 



After the applause this was read: 

 Maj. J. P. Frost: 



Your associates on the Boston Globe congratulate you on your 

 splendid victories abroad. We are proud of you Jim. and await 

 with pleasure the return of your "bright, breezy and eonversa- 

 tional" countenance to the "Hub." W. F. Kenny, 



Dav Editor, Boston Globe. 



Three cheers were here given for Maj. Frost. Then Col. Rock- 

 well, inspector general of the staff of the Governor of Massachu- 

 setts, said: 



"I think it due from the representative of the State of Massa- 

 chusetts to acknowledge the many courtesies that have been ex- 

 tended to the company of riflemen here present, and on their be- 

 half and on behalf of the State of Massachusetts lender our 

 thanks to Gen. Earle and the other gentlemen of the Sta te Militia 

 of New York." 



Here Gen. Earle was given throe cheers. Then Gen. Wingate 

 remarked: 



"Col. Rockwell, Maj. Frost and members of the rifle team— We 

 recognize the fact that we are receiving a body of our fellow-rifle- 

 men, who are the champions of the world." 



This called forth a tempest of applause, and the general con- 

 tinued: 



"Although they come from the State of Massachusetts, and we 

 are of the Empire State, they are flesh of our flesh and bono of our 

 bone; State lines have nothing to do with it." 



Gen. Robbins spoke in behalf of the National Guard of the 

 State of New York, saying that they were much elated over the 

 victories. 



Maj. Frost was next oallod upon. He said he had learned his 

 speech by heart by being called upon so often. The team did its 

 best abroad, and got all it went for and a little more. "I think," 

 he added, "that after our experience wo could go over again and 

 beat them worse than we did this time. As it is, they haven't 

 realized yet what has happened." (Laughter.) 



The major then said the English papers gave the first match 35 

 lines, the second a half column. From this the papers increased 

 the space to three-quarters of a column and to over a column, and 

 called the team invincible. The English people overwhelmed the 

 team with their hospitality. In conclusion Maj. Frost thanked the 

 committee for its splendid reception. 



Three (.beers were given with a will for the doughty major; 

 then every one was cheered. Judge Giidersleeve, who went over 

 with the first team sent to England, gave some interesting reminis- 

 cences. 



They were afterward taken on a drive through Central Park, 

 and then through the courtesy of Francis Wilson, were invited to 

 the performance of "The Oolah" at the Broadway Theatre. The 

 theatre was specially decorated for the occasion. 



The men went on board the steamer Pilgrim, of the Fall River 

 Line, on which they started for Boston at 5 o'clock, all save 

 Farrow, who has remained abroad to do some line shooting at 

 Versailles and at the Swiss ranges. 



Boston, Aug. 11.— Fourteen bronzed men in the uniform of the 

 Massachusetts militia alighted quietly from the 9:30 train this 

 morning at the Old Colony station. Tney were the picked Mass- 

 achusetts marksmen, headed by Major J. P. Frost. When the 

 team got off the train they were pleased to find in waiting a com- 

 mittee of military officers, upon whr-ni devolved the pleasant 

 duty of escorting the victorious marksmen to Young's Hotel, 

 where a breakfast was to be given them by the State in appre- 

 ciation of their excellent work. The committee consisted of 

 Adjutant-General Dal ton; Colonel H. T. Rockwell, inspector of 

 rifle practice; Major F. G. King and Major H. G. Kemp of the 

 Cavalry Battalion. Arriving at Young's the party held an in- 

 formal reception in Room 11), and the marksmen received many 

 congratulations from their comrades and superior officers. Oil 

 their arms were the badges whbdi had been presented to them 

 abroad. The, first one was from the Queen and read in gilt letters, 

 "Wimbledon, 1889." As only 100 of these badges are presented 

 each year in the United Kingdom, the men were justly proud of 

 them. Another badge was that presented to tbe members of the 

 team by Minister Lincoln at the complimentary dinner which he 

 gave them. It was in the form of a heart, with the American 

 and English flags crossed above it. On the heart, in gilt letters 

 were the names of the teams with which they had competed, as 

 follows: South London Rifle Club, Royal Berkshire Regiment, 

 Sussex County Team, London Rifle Brigade and the Honorable 

 Artillery Compan v. Underneath were the words in gilt letters, 

 "England. 1889." 



The menu card was got ten up with great elegance and was in 

 three parts. The outside was of tinted cardboard. On the front- 

 was a design of hand-painted flowers, and bore the words "Wel- 

 come Home" raised in gilt letters. In the interior was a sheet of 

 white satin bearing the words "Breakfast to the Massachusetts 

 Rifle Team by the Military Department, State of Massachusetts." 

 The menu was on the third page, the three sheets being tied with 

 a silk cord. At the conclusion of the breakfast there were many 



flattering words of welcome and praise said. The team then 

 inarched to the headquarters of tho second brigade, where it was 

 dismissed, and uniforms were exchanged for citizens' clothing. 

 At 10 A. M. to-morrow the team will be the guest of Mayor Hart, 

 who will give a breakfast at Young's Hotel. The Western mem- 

 bers leave for Springfield in the afternoon, where a dinner is to 

 be given them, and those belonging to the second brigade will 

 join their commands at Framingham. 



In summarizing his trip Major Frost said on airival: "The 

 team upou the whole is the best I could chose. It is true that I 

 might have selected a few individual shots who would have done 

 better than any one of my men, but 1 looked for an average team. 

 I wanted a team in which jealousy would be entirely absent, and 

 where it would be a matter of indifference who would be first or 

 last man. We worked together so well and spurred one another 

 on so much that I attribute our success greatly to those facts, in 

 all the matches in which we were engaged there was only a dif- 

 ference of 32 points between the best man and the lowest, man. 

 Considering the number of shots fired that difference is paltry 

 indeed. 



"We had -and that is to bo taken into consideration in judging 

 of the team's excellence-but 800 men to choose from, while the 

 Englishmen had 350,000 volunteers. Any one was eligible. Just 

 think what an advantage that was! But, thanks to the facts 

 already men tioned, with good material, good health, steady nerves 

 and good coaching we gained the victories despite the odds 

 against us. 



"Our eompetitiors were recognized as the leading riflemen of 

 England, and the matches were with the service arm of each 

 country and regulat'on ammunition. We had little practice, 

 owing to the late arrival of our steamer, and had to shoot our 

 first match the same dav we unpacked our rifles, in anything but 

 shooting form. This, too, with the fine team of the Honorable 

 Artillery Company of London. Seven of its twelve men were 

 members of the English twenty, and the remaining five had 

 national reputations. 



"The Berkshire county team was a strong one, too, with Fidler, 

 Kemp and Warwick, all in the English twenty. 



"The Loudon Rifle Brigade was a rattling good body. Earl 

 Waldegrave is an English twenty man, and Preston, Desmond, 

 Da t toy and Killiher, all shot on the Irish twenty this year. We 

 rolled up a tremendous score with this team, averaging over 90 

 out of 105 per man, and beating The English record with the 

 position standing at 200yds. instead of kneeling. Bumstead made 

 100 out of 105— remarkable work. 



"The Sussex county team, which we shot at Brighton, had Cortis 

 and Livesay, of the English national team, and others of reputa- 

 tion. The weather was horrible, and we made the poorest score 

 of the trip, only aggregating 988 points, almost 100 points under 

 t he day before at Hainham, yet defeating the Sussex team by 78 

 points, and then after their beating us by 13 points at 209yds. 



"The South London team was picked from all the best shooting 

 organizations in and out of England. Major McKerrell came 

 down from Scotland. Captain Rose is the crack shot of the 

 Queen's Westminster; .Sergeant Smith and Private Lowe are 

 Queen's medalists. Trask made second top score in the English 

 twenty this year, and Foster, Tuke, Hath and Wells all are 

 national 'cracks.' We made our second highest score with this 

 team, improving 53 points on our second shoot over the Nunhead 

 range." 



"What is the relative excellence of the Springfield rifle over the 

 Martini-Henry?'' was asked. 



"I don't suppose our English brothers would agree with me in 

 my estimate. To me the Springfield rifle is the better arm up to 

 500yds. What it- is beyond in team matches remains to be seen. 

 We won the 000yds. distance in four out of the five matches, but 

 lost the other by nine, points. Our sight undoubtedly over- 

 balanced the extra fifteen grains of powder shot by the English 

 arm, but what the Springfield would do with eighty-live grains of 

 powder yet remains to be shown. Again, there is tbe relative 

 capacity of the competing men to be considered and the excel- 

 lence of tho team eoacher. 



"What the Martini-Henry can do with a decent rear sight will, 

 in my opinion, 60bn bo demonstrated, tor I think the "English 

 volunteers, at least the marksmen, will soon have an improved 

 sight issued to them. Opinion favors it. and our demonstration 

 of the possibilities of the Springfield, especially in skirmishing, 

 has rather fanned the flame. 



"We could not ask for a more fraternal or royal welcome. We 

 were cordially received at, every hand, and entertained with un- 

 bounded hospitality. 



"The red and gold badge worn on the left arm above the elbow 

 is the Queen's, received at Wimbledon, and is the most coveted 

 honor to be won by an English shooting soldier, be he regular or 

 volunteer. The shield with the American and English colors en- 

 twined came from Minister Lincoln. 



"flu trip has been an unqualified success, and well worth all the 

 labor and expense." 



Cant. Frost has figured out tho tabula-ted score of the Ameri- 

 cans and their opponents on the other side, and is quite proud of 

 it. Here is tbe score of the team's work:

It will be observed that the best score made bv the Massachu- 

 setts men was recorded in their match with the London Rifle 

 Brigade, when they reached a total of 1,084 points. This score has 

 been three times exceeded at Creedmoor, namely in tbe 1887 



feature of this record consists in the fact that while" the Massa- 



tional Guardsmen who accomplished this remarkable result, con- 

 sisted of the following members of the National Guard, finishing 

 m the order and with the scores here given: J. S. Shepherd, 

 Twenty-third Regiment, 97; J. F. Klein, Seventeenth Separate 

 Company, Infantry, 95; S. C. Pirie. Twenty-third Regiment, 93; 

 George S. Scott.Twent-y-third Regiment, 93; 'L. J. Elliott, Twenty- 

 third Regiment, 92; Thomas G. Austin, Thirteenth Regiment, 93; 

 Ezra He Forest, Twenty-third. Regiment, 91; George F. Hamlin, 

 Twenty-third Regiment 89; James McNevtn, Thirteenth Regi- 

 ment, 88; Thomas J. Dolan, Twelfth Regiment, 87; C. A. Jones, 

 Seventh Regiment, 86; Edward F. Young, Seventh Regiment, 85. 

 As all of these men are still in service and in good shooting form 

 there would seem to be a strong likelihood that the General In- 

 • ::t of Rifle Practice will find little difficulty in complying 

 with the instructions of the Commander in Chief to select a team 

 that can win in the Sea Girt. N. J., matches, where the Massa- 

 chusetts men will meet teams from the other States in a closely 

 contested team fight.
