The Wimbledon meeting opened in a drizzle of rain, still the 

 plucky marksmen were on hand dressed in all sorts of water- 

 proofs with which to shed the falling drops. The American team 

 arrived Saturday evening at. 5:30, and having a camp or double 

 row of touts to themselves were soon safely housed. Sunday was 

 enjoyed by a majority of the. team by a visit to London, then up 

 the Thames by train and boat, dining at Henley, then a visit to 

 Maidenhead, all under the kind c^re and protection of the Hon- 

 orable Artillery Company of Londor>. The competitions entered 



to get elevations or test the rifles loaned them, 7 shots at 200yds. 

 and 500yds. being all the experience allowed them, :md this was on 

 Saturday at a strange range before coming to Wimbledon; thus 

 it will be seen that their chances for fine scoring were 'very slim 

 indeed. 



In the Alexandra 7 shot* at 500 and 600yds. Mai. Hinman was in 

 the prize, list with a total of 00, 33 at 500 aud 27 at 600yds. Private 

 Farrow would also have come in but for a ruling against one of 

 his shots. A 3 and 5 were shown on the dummy in response to the 

 fourth shot; the marksman claimed the highest, but only the 

 lowest was scored, and all amount of prote-t as well as an appeal 

 to the Council was of no avail, thus this shooter's chances were 

 ruined, because some other unfortunate accidentally shot on this 

 target at the same moment. Sergt. Doyle was obliged to go into 

 the match without having fired but two shots out of the Martini 

 placed in his hands; these were at pool, and owing to the crowded 

 state at the firing points of the pool targets, it was impossible to 

 fire any shots, except by getting in line and waiting for 25 or 30 

 men to shoot two shots each. It should be rememhered that with 

 2,300 marksmen anxious to get pool shots, and but 5 pool targets 

 open, many that are squadded to shoot their matches early mu*t 

 necessarily be crowded out. This taking up of the Martini rifle 

 by the members of the team se-ms in a certain sense' to be a mis- 

 take; it lowers in the eyes of the Englishmen the high regard 

 now plac ed on the skill of the. Americans; it will give to the Eng- 

 lishmen iu the coming team matches renewed confidence, a ud as 

 the new conditions proposed, it will allow them to shoot in their 

 favorite positions at 2O0yds. range. Their line of reasoning is 

 that if only one of the American te im can get in the prize list of 

 the Alexandra, which has a row of 325 prizes, the Massachusetts 

 men cannot be such wonderful shots after all. This has been over- 

 heard in quite few instances. 



The Springfield musket with the Buffington sight has been ex- 

 cluded from competing in any of the matches where military 

 sights or rifles are allowed. Considerable pressure was brought 

 by many prominent. English marksman on the Council that they 

 should, as a matter of international courtesy, allow the Spring- 

 field musket and Burlington sight, as used by the United States 

 Government, to be sho! by Ihe American team in the matcbes at 

 Wimbledon especially devoted to the experimental military rifles. 

 This would simply include matches wherein the English marks- 

 men us3 their M. B. L. rifles, which are equipped with wind 

 gauges and spirit levels, this latter very desirable feature the 

 Springfield musket does n"t possess. 



At a rifle meeting in June, at Dun hall. 100 of the leading shots 

 of the north of Er gland signed n memorial to the Council of the 



~\Til i/-»nol Riflp 4 canf-iii timi tv fr, iiorTnit i-l^a A mbim'aa^a 



men this privilege. Thereupon the Scottish Rifle Association 

 preuared and sent to the English N. R. A the following: 



"To the Council of the National Rifle Association: We. the under- 

 signed members of the Council of the Scottish Rifle Association, 

 respectfully draw your attention to the memorial which has been 

 signed by the competitors at the Darnley prize meeting, as to per- 

 mitting the American* to use their regulation Springfield rifles 

 in M. B. L. competition at Wimbledon, in the terms of which we 

 heartily concur." 



This was signed by James Merry. Col., 3d Lanark, Vice-Chair- 

 man: J. ST. Smith. Col., 1st L. R. V., Vice-Chairman; William 

 Thorburn, Major, Captain Scottish Twenty; William Blackwood, 

 Capt ., 21 Midlothian; John Lennox, Capt., Galloway R. V.; A. R. 

 King,' Col., 3d (Renfrew) V. B. A. and S. Higbs; A. Mein, Col., 4th 

 V. B. Cameronians; Harms ton Stuart, Col., 2d V. B. Oameronians. 



Therefore the Council of the Scottish Rifle Associat ion ''heartily 

 concur" in the protest ot a hundred of the leading shots in North 

 that the action of the N. R. A. Council, in this particular matter, 

 is a breach of international courtesy on their part. 



To still further show the interest taken by the English Volun- 

 teers in this visit, and their desire to show the Americans every 

 courtesy, the following is an extract from a letter written by Mr. 

 Lowe, S. M., which was printed in the London Times: 



"I submit that the regulation arm of every foreign natiou 

 should, as a matter of course, and as a matter of international 

 courtesy, be admitted in the category of experimental military 

 rifles at Wimbledon. Certainly competitors with Met ford, Rigby, 

 and Fraser M. B. L. rifles have nothing to fear in competing 

 against the Springfield with its lighter cartridge and inferior 

 shooting power. The sliding and screw sights are simply two 

 different mechanical means of arriving at the same result— a dis- 

 tinction without a difference." 



It will be seen that both the English and American rifles are 

 supplied with a wind gauge sight, but because the American does 

 not slide exactly in the same manner as the English one it must 

 be ruled out of all the matches. The fact is, there is but one 

 match on the. programme in which the Massachusetts men would 

 care to use their muskets, this is the Steward, 7 shots at 200yds., 

 standing position, M. B. L. rifles allowed, all the other matches 

 devoted to this English M. B. L. with spirit level attachments, is 

 at the distances of 800, 900 and 1,000yds., at which ranges it. is well 

 known the 70grs. of powder in the Springfield cartridge cannot 

 successfully compete with the 90 and lOOgrs. in the English 

 cartridges. 



As a last resort, certain of the Massachusetts men took to the 

 Wimbledon committee a Springfield musket with the buckhorn 

 sight of 1879 attached, instead of the Burlington sight, with a de- 

 sire to use the same iu the M. B. L. match at 200yds. The rifle, 

 with this sight was finally passed, and it now remains to be seen 

 what can be done with the Springfield at 2O0yds. against the Eng- 

 lish M. B. L. with its spirit level and wind gauge on the bar of the 

 rear sight. The Alfred match, consisting of 7 shots at 200yds. 

 with the Martini-Henry, was entered by eight of the team. ' At 

 the finish four were found to be iu thelibt of prize winners: Sergt. 

 Johnston, score 32, wins £5; Corp. Huddleston, score 31, wins £3; 

 Major Hinman, score 31, wins £3; Sergt. Bull, score 30, wins £2. 

 This is the best showing yet made by the team with the English 

 military rifle. 



The Windmill match, which consists of 7 shots at 200 and 500yds., 

 will be finished to-morrow. Eight of the team are entered.

London, July 16.— The Duke of Cambridge to-day inspected the 

 Canadians who are taking part in the rifle matches at Wimble- 

 don. He congratulated them upon their loyalty, which led them 

 to lake part in successive contests at Wimbledon. 



After inspecting the Canadian marksmen the Duke of Cam. 

 bridge visited the American camp, where he was received by 

 Lieut. Newton, Major Marion and Private Farrow. Private Far- 

 row showed him the action of the Springfield rifle, in which he 

 was much interested. The Duke said ne would urge the Council 

 to arrange a match between the Americans and a select team of 

 British marksmen, but it fell through and all the talk at Wim- 

 bledon was about this failing through of the match between 

 Massachusetts and the North London Rifle Club teams, which 

 was to have been shot on Saturday. The London Club raised a 



difficulty because the Americans were so well treated in the mat- 

 ter of conditions. 



Private Farrow took a minor prize iu the Albert contest. 



Ihe winner of the Queen's Prize in the rifle shooting at Wim- 

 bledon was Private Reid, of the First Lanarkshire Regiment, 

 who made a score of 281. Reid's victory delighted the Scotch 

 riflemen, who invited the Americans to their camp to join in the 

 rejoicing. 



London, July 17— At Wimbledon to-day, notwithstanding a 

 heavy storm ot rain, bail and thunder, the Massachusetts rifle- 

 men showed the style of their skirmish drill. The whole camp 

 assembled to witness the maneuvers. The members of the team 

 were drawn up in a line 600yds. from the target. Thev then 

 advanced, halting at intervals of fifteen seconds, until thev were 

 within 150yds. of the target. The firing resulted as f Allows:* Hud- 



. " . 1 *-* •~«"^<"-«^, imo, "w. ach jictiio were niciue. j.ue 



rapidity of the fire and the accuracy of the shots excited the 

 cheers of the spectators. 



The Rajah of Kolapore's Imperial Challenge Cup was won by 

 the Canadian team. The score of the. Canadians was 687 aud that 

 Of the British riflemen 684. The Canadians also won the Colonial 

 prize of £80, awarded to the team, exclusive of the. home team, 

 which makes the highest aggregate score in the competition for 

 the Kolap .re cup. 



[Canada has now won the cup five times-viz., in 1872. 1875, 1881. 

 1884 and 1889, and the Colonial prize twice— viz., iu 1886 and in 

 1889. The cup has been competed for since 1.871, and lias on all 

 other occasions been won by the mother countrv.l 



London, July 18.— The match for the Eleho challenge shield 

 was shot at Winibledmi to-day and was won by the Irish team, 

 which made a score of 1,689. The English teani scored 1,684, and 

 the Sco:ch team 1 626. 



London, July 19.— The Massachusetts rifle team took part in 

 the shooting for minor prizes in the Stewards' contest at Wimble- 

 don to-day. The conditions were seven phots each at 200 yards. 

 Following are the scores of the winners: Farrow 88, Sergeant 

 Bull, Doyle and Hinman, 32 each, and Johnston, Merrill and 

 Bumstead, 31 each. Mr. Lincoln, the United States Minister, 

 visited the camp of the Massachusetts riflemen, at Wimbledon, 

 1 hursday, and had a hearty reception. The American team after- 

 ward visiled the Crystal Palace. 



London, July 20.— The American riflemen have gone to Paris. 

 They have won altogether something like 30 prizes in individual 

 matches, and will take home double sets of sleevebtittons, indica- 

 tive of victories. 



Springfield, Mass., July 20.— The suggestion that this city wel- 

 come home the successful Massachusetts marksmen, in which 

 there is so large a representation, with a banquet and reception, 

 has met with favor. It is proposed that the victorious team be 

 persuaded to stop over in the city on their way to Boston. After 

 a parade and reception, militia and shooting" organizations can 

 join in giving a banquet to the men who ha ve won honors abroad. 

 While the last week's experience at Wimbledon has not been as 

 favorable to the Massachusetts marksmen, they have won all the 

 matches t hey went to win. They had a hope (bat the national 

 association would relent and allow the Springfield rifle in the 

 individual contests at Wimbledon. Thus they took no special 

 practice with the Martini-Henrv rifle. 



BOSTON, July 20.— The regular weekly shoot of the Massachu- 

 setts Rifle Association was held to- dav. and a large number of 

 riflemen were present, including many militiamen. The shooting 

 conditions were good, tnere being a light wind from 3 to 10 o'clock. 

 Mr. Frye won the champion gold medal, and Mr. Munroe won the 

 gold medal in the 20-shot rest match. Mr. Frye also won the 

 silver membership badge. Next Wednesday Ihe trap-shooters of 

 the Association will hold their prize mafnh and sweep shoot.

Mr. Chilson used a 16 and 18-gauge and stood 18yds, with both, 

 which accounts somewhat for the poor runs he made. He made 

 a run of twelve straight, which is the largest yet made by any 

 member of the club. Mr. Gaylor's score is tho best yet made out 

 of 25 by any member of the club, and the shooting of Cartwright 

 at 25yds. was fine. The club expect to have a new club house up 

 by the next shooting day, and will hold a tournament of two 

 days iu the near future.— Kosmos. 



NEWARK, N. J., July 18.— The regular monthly shoot of the 

 Essex Gun Club was held, to-day at Marion, with a fair attend- 

 anee for the season, and some good scores were made. The buds 

 were a good lot, as all birds are wdien Heritage has charge. Two 

 sweepstakes of 4 birds each were shot previous to regular Shoot, 

 in which 7 members took part, with a score of 47 kills out of 52. 

 The club recently elected a new member from the Hedden farailj , 

 Mr. A. E. Hedden, a young man who promises to make it 100 in 

 the shade for the "vets," killing 18 straight and using second 

 barrel but four times. Another feature of the shoot, and one. that 

 created some surprise and much comment, was the use of a 

 "featherweight" gun, made by Franeatte and weighing 5141ns,. by 

 O. von Lengerke, who killed 9 out of 10 at 30yds. rise. These guns 

 are becoming popular, and in the hands of practical men do ex- 

 cellent work. The diamond badge for the month was carried off 

 by Frank Class, while the other prizes went to C. M. Hedden, 

 Class A; A. E. Hedden and Wm. Hughes, Class B, and Henry Bab- 

 bage. Class C. Score of regular shoot:
