BOSTON, July 27.-The shooting at the Massachusetts rifle 

 range to-day was done during a pouring rain storm and under 

 such conditions as only rifle enthusiasts would have endured. 

 When the markers came out of the pits they looked like drowned 

 rats. It was one of the worst days ever experienced at this range. 

 Mi'. Clarke won the champion medal. Mr. Munroe won the gold 

 medal in the 20-shot. rest match and Mr. Kelley won the bronze 

 victory medal. This nssoeiation b as put on two new matches to 

 close Dec. 31, one medal match for rest shooting, and one military 

 medal match for off-hand, with three medals in each match. 

 Following are to-day's scores:

THE GODS AL RIFLE.— A repeating rifle action on an entirely 

 new principle has been invented and designed by Major P. T. 

 God sal, 4th (Eton College* V. B. Oxfordshire Light Infantry, late 

 Instructor of Musketry, 52d Light Iuf antry. It seems to hoid an 

 intermediate position between what are known as the bolt and 

 block systems, and it is claimed for it that it combines aU the 

 strength and soundness of the former with the repeating power of 

 the bitter, and that it is the simplest action and cheapest to man- 

 uf ac i are t hat has yet been produced. The main advantage in the 

 holt system is that traveling motion which enables it to be used 

 as a repeater, and, having this motion, tbe Godsal rifle would be 

 taken by a superficial observer to be a "frock-locking bolt." A 

 closer examination, however, reveals that it is better entitled to 

 he called a ''traveling block action," since in all its essential fea- 

 tures it resembles the block systems. Instead of a bolt 6in. long 

 the obturator in the Godsal action consists of a solid steel cylin- 

 der loss than lin. long. This locks by means of 3 luf?s into the 

 breech, and it is held, when unlocked, by a hollow carrier con- 

 taining the mainspring and striker, which travels on a slide or bar, 

 which bar forms a rearward continuation of the lower lug of the 

 breech, and forms a rigid connection for the wood of the butt. 

 Thus the long heavy bolt and the corresponding long (rough or 

 breech shoe of the bolt action is dispensed with altogether. 



The extractor is of the weU-known block action type. The pecu- 

 liarity of it is that it has a long rod projecting butt ward from the 

 claw, and lying alongside the above-mentioned stock-bar parallel 

 with the axis of the barrel. As the carrier is drawn hack it 

 strikes at the right moment against a projection on this rod. and 

 so knocks out the cartridge. It is well known that a knock or 

 tap is better than a wrench for breaking the adhesion of a stick- 

 ing cartridge, and in point of fact, it is said that the pressure of 

 the end of the little finger throwing hack the carrier never fails 

 to extract a cartridge with the Godsal action. On the contrary, 

 with a bolt action, a spring claw snaps over the rim of the cart- 

 ridge, and to extract it a severe wrench, often requiring the whole 

 force and weight of the right hand, is necessary, and the action is 

 jammed shut until the cartridge moves. 



In the one model exhibited, the Godsal rifle is fitted with a 

 modification of the present Government magazine, which is at- 

 tached in a simple manner to the left side of the action. We 

 understand that the Godsal rifle has been not only invented but 

 entirely designed by Major Godsal himself, bvit the workmanship 

 is by Messrs. W. & C. Scott & Son, of the Premier Gun Works, 

 Biiiningharn, and the inventor hears high testimony to the ad- 

 mirable manner in which his designs have ;been carried out.—

CHICAGO, July 22.— At the annual encampment at Springfield 

 Company D, First Regiment, 1. N. G., won the beautiful Forsyth 

 medal, which has been competed for by companies C, D and E, 

 for the last three years, the terms being best company score at 

 ranges from 100 to 500yds., and also in running skirmish Are at 10 

 shots between those distances. The highest individual score this 

 year was made bv Lieut. Jas. A. Clark, 146 out of a possible 175. 

 Company D won by only .39 on the average. The Forsyth medal 

 was presented to the First by the actress, Kate Forsyth, in return 

 for a uniformed regimental visit to one of her performances in 

 this city. It is an elaborate and beautiful medal, large and ex- 

 pensive, and is recognized as one of the most prominent incentives 

 to marksmanship known to the Illinois State militia. It is at 

 present in possession of Capt. Jos. H. Barnett. who will probably 

 deliver it to Lieut. Clark for keeping until the next yearly com- 

 petition.— E. Hough. 



TORONTO.— Capt. Beaty, of the Toronto Field Battery, is mak- 

 ing arrangements for a rifle match between a team of eight or ten 

 men of his battery and one from the Hamilton Field Battery. It 

 is likely that the contest will take place on the fine range of the 

 latter. 



NEWARK, N. J., July 25.— It was expected that the fine weather 

 to-day would draw a big crowd to the shooting park to take part 

 m the trophy and expert matches, but the party at no time num- 

 bered more than a dozen. The conditions were almost perfect for 

 good shooting, and the result: was shown in some remarkably fine 

 scores. The eighth competition for the members' trophy was 

 won by H. Williams with a total of 222 out of a possible 250 points 

 on the German ring target. Other scores were: F. C. Campbell 

 211, C. H. Townsend 208, J. A. Bovkeu 207, A. Begerow 197, C. E.

LEAGUE SHOOTING. 



THE American Shooting Association is Jnot by any means 

 sitting idly by in the matter of encouraging trap work, and 

 in the scheme which Manager Taylor has put forth there is 

 enough for a. good deal of discussion. Will such leagues pay? 

 Will they provoke enough rivalry to make them successful in the 

 way of Bportr and if they fail on a large scale, may they yet not 

 prove a great benefit on a small scale? 



The Association has started out to encourage trap-shooting in 

 every way. Its large tournaments are intended to bring together 

 trap men in a wholesale and wholesome fashion. So far as they 

 can, the Association's managers have rid trap-sbooters of many 

 of the annoyances, in the way of unfair classification, which 

 marked the old-time gatherings. They have been fair to the t yro 

 shot, the rising shot, while sitting down fairly and flatly upon 

 the professional who made his marksmanship pay at the expense 

 oftimes of sportsmanlike conduct. Now, the plan of the Associ- 

 ation is to keep up the interest in trap matters between the tour- 

 naments, and this it is proposed to accomplish by means of the 

 systematic league shoots. 



The plan which the Association's circular outlines shows that 

 much thought has been given the project, and it shows further 

 that the Association is prepared to back up its side of the scheme 

 by a liberal advance of funds, if the shooters will on their part 

 get together and do their best at the trap. Major Taylor has 

 worked the plan out with considerable care, and it would seem 

 that it is clear enough to be readily understood by any one at all 

 familiar with shooting contests. As far as possible the utmost 

 liberty has been given every contestant, with proper regard to 

 the rights of the other shooting teams. It is a ehance for teams 

 to wipe out old grudges by shooting under the general rules laid 

 down by the Association, and the final scores, when reached, 

 will form good gauges to measure future team work by. 



AMERICAN SHOOTING ASSOCIATION. 

 League Shooting-. 



THE American Shooting Association presents to the trap shoot- 

 ers and clubs of America the proposed rules for league shoot- 

 ing, and invites their criticism of them. It is proposed to put them 

 to actual test the coming year, confidently believing that this 

 system of shooting will largely increase the interest in trap- 

 shooting, the social intercourse between individuals, and pro- 

 mote that friendly rivalry between the clubs of the different 

 States, so desirable, and at the end of the season create unusual 

 interest when the final ties are to be decided. Although little has 

 been known or said about the proposed league shooting, many 

 leagues have been formed and tendered to the Association for 

 action; and many other clubs have said "We can form a league on 

 short notice, advise us of plans, rules, etc." The Association hav- 

 ing had so many matters to attend to, consequent upon its for- 

 mation and getting properly under way, thought it best not to 

 begin this system of shooting until May or June of next year; in 

 the meantime, through proper criticism and ample preparation, 

 it will be prepared to carry It to a successful termination. There 

 seems to be no reason why this system of shooting should not 

 become a very popular one, creating such popular enthusiasm 

 that the scores and standing of the different leagues will be re- 

 ported and published in such maimer as other sports of the day. 



The rules are liberal in permitting shooters in the teams to use 

 any gun, shell, target, etc., in use by their club, with only the 

 provision that they are in accord with the Association's rules. 

 As will be seen, the teams are to shoot but once a week, and at 

 such number of targets as are shot at in usual club practice 

 matches— this will not involve any additional expense to clubs or 

 individuals of the teams. Clubs will find that this manner of 

 shooting weekly on home grounds by a selected team (or meeting 

 the opposing team on home or other grounds) will very much in- 

 crease attendance at their weekly shoots, for all will be interested 

 in the resul t, and as the time taken to shoot such matches is 

 short, those in attendance will join in other shooting for the 

 afternoon with increased interest. 



Leagues can be so formed from the teams representing them, 

 that they may very many times meet each other on grounds 

 mutually agreed upon, specially so on holidays, where an admis- 

 sion can'be charged. In this way every club that is represented 

 in a league can pay its team entrance fee without recourse to 

 other means. Accompanying this, the plan for forming purses 

 is given, and if clubs do not take hold of it, we believe there are 

 few clubs who do not have members spirited enough to form a 



team to represent their club, assuming all responsibility of 

 entrance and who will shoot through the season with good results 

 to themselves and their clubs. Tbe figures given are based upon 

 there being 20 leagues formed, and show from this small number 

 the largest purses, with smallest amount of entrance money, and 

 the greatest number of chances to win ever proposed. It is con- 

 fkleutly believed, from the assurance given from many sections, 

 that 10 to 50 leagues will readily be formed: if so, the purses will 

 be increased accordingly, and if over 80 leagues are formed no 

 doubt the different prizes can be dividel, 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent, 

 and still leave them much larger than in statement given. 



It is asked that all clubs throughout the United States will at 

 their first meeting consider this matter, and give such expression 

 concerning it as they may care to, to the manager at the New 

 York office, that such preparation as is necessary may be made 

 for the coming season's work. The details are many and should 

 be thoroughly settled and published by Jan 1 for benefit of clubs. 

 No club should consider that it is too weak to be represented by 

 a team, as the club will be much benefitted bv the increased at- 

 tendance that will surely follow at its weekly shoots, and each 

 team must secure a place in the ties. No doubt in many in- 

 stances it will prove to be better to have a position of second or 

 third to a strong team than to have first place in a league of ordi- 

 nary teams. A table of a supposed league in Ohio is published 

 with the rules, showing in the simplest manner how and on what 

 dates teams will meet each other; also a statement of the prizes 

 with the division of them, on a. basis of tin. v, thirty and twenty 

 per cent., which shows that even the lowest prize that can be 

 won is well worth contending for— should as many as forty 

 leagues be formed, any one can figure out how large' the prize's 

 will be by doubling those given as first, second and third, and so 

 on, and dividing them into forty, thirty, twenty and ten per cent. 

 No matter how many additional leagues maybe formed above 

 tho basis of calculation, on twenty, uo additional entrance 

 money r will be charged. 



It only remains now for the clubs throughout the United States 

 to take action and respond to the efforts of the Associat ion, to 

 inaugurate an interest in the favorite sport of trap-shooting 

 never before thought of, and which will givs the public a correal 

 estimate of the. strong and popular hold it has among the health- 

 ful pastimes of the day. It will also enable the sportsmen to 

 form correct conclusions as to the comparative strength of flub 

 against club, State against State, and section against, section; for 

 under the proposed rules all sections of our country can compete. 



Respectfully submitted J. M. Taylor, Manager.
