THE CREEDMOOR TRANSFER.— The transfer of Creedmoor, 

 the famous shooting grounds of the National Rifle Association, 

 to the State of New York, was formally agreed to at a meeting of 

 the Board of Directors Sept. 3 in the association's quarters in 

 Temple Court. There were present Gen. Geo. W. Wingate, Chair- 

 man; Capt. John S. Shepherd, Secretary; Major Edward Duffy, 

 Gen. Charles F. Robbing, Mr. J. H. Bobbins and Mr. Jas. Duane. 

 Gen. Wingate presented for the consideration of the board a 

 formal consent to the conveyance of the property, bearing the 

 signatures of more than 33 of the directors of the association, 

 active and ex officio. The legal requirements having been com- 

 plied with. Major Duffy offered the following resolution, which 

 was unanimously adopted: "Resolved, That the president and 

 secretary of the association be and are hereby authorized and 

 directed to execute to the State of New York a conveyance of the 

 range and property at Creedmoor, so as to comply with Chapter 

 540 of the Laws of 1889, and to affix the seal of the association 

 thereto." By this action the State will become possessed of close 

 upon 225 acres of ground, with the building, rifle rauges. and ap- 

 purtenances at Creedmoor for the nominal sum of $25,000. The 

 National Rifle Association, on its part, is relieved of all responsi- 

 bility for suits growing out of its occupancy of the ground and 

 maintaining a rifle range, and is assured the use of the range for 

 ten days in each year lor the holding of its annual fall prize 

 meeting for a period of ten years, with a presumptive right to the 

 renewal of that privilege. In order that the transfer might be 

 legally executed it became essential that a president of the asso- 

 ciation should be elected. Gen. John B. Woodward, the vice-presi- 

 dent of the association, who has been acting in that capacity, 

 being in Europe, and on the. motion of Major Duffy, Gen. Wingate 

 was unanimously chosen. The thanks of the association was re- 

 turned to Capt. Robert P. Bush, of the Twenty-sixth Separate 

 Company of Elmira, for his exertion in securing the passage of 

 the Creedmoor transfer bill by ihe Legislature. 



IRA PAINE DEAD.— Paris, Sept. 7.-Chevalier Ira Paine ex- 

 pired at the Hotel du Brest this evening, from strangulation of 

 the bowels, after forty-two hours of intense suffering. He was 

 filling an engagement at the Folies Bergeres for the last three 

 weeks, delighting lame audiences with his marvellous perform- 

 ances with rifle and pistol. His wife and brother-in-law were 

 with him when he died. By his request bis body will be em- 

 balmed and brought to Providence, K. I., for burial.

JERSEY CITY, N. J., Sept. 2.— The Marion Rifle Club grounds 

 on Jersey City Heights presented an animated scene to-day when 

 the annual fall shoot of the club took place. There were over 200 

 crack marksmen present, including a large delegation from the 

 Our Own Rifle Club, of Newark, which made the contests very 

 exciting. The scores on an average were very good, but in the 

 long-range events some poor shooting was done on account of the 

 shifting winds and heavy mist, which prevailed. Messrs. L. P. 

 Hansen, George C. Varick and Anthony Hauck comprised the 

 shooting committee for '89, and they showed their abilities well 

 in this line of sport by arranging a very interesting programme. 

 The contests were decided as follows: Target of honor, 200yds. 

 off-hand: J. F. Autenreitb first with a score of 60 out of a pos- 

 sible 75, L. P. Hansen was second with 58 to his credit, and H. 

 Mahlenbrock won third prize with 51 points. The three leading 

 men on the Creedmoor target, at 5O0vds.. were L. P. Hansen 24, 

 H. Hoersch 23 and Dr. Buyken 23. In the medal target competi- 

 tion Dr. Autenreitb won first medal with a score of 66, 67. 70, Dr. 

 Buyken was second. His score was 66, 57, 68, and H. Hoersch 

 secured the. third gold medal by making 65, 66, 70. The affair 

 was a grand success financially, and the club contemplates hold- 

 ing another tournament in the near future. 



NEWARK, N. J., Sept. 6.— The United Amateur Rifle Associa- 

 tion held a well-attended meeting at Lakeside range this eveuiug, 

 and the prospects for the coming tournament are most encourag- 

 ing. The Association is now composed of twelve clubs: Monroe, 

 Oakland, Excelsior, Howard, Lakeside, Annie Oakley, Columbia, 

 Puritan, Sheppard, North Ward, National and Electric. The con- 

 stitution was drawn up, and as there are now no restrictions or 

 rules to keep any person from competing, each club in the city 

 will probably become a member at once. The entries will close 

 on Oct. 1, and the tournament, will commence on Oct. 14. The As- 

 sociation will now meet weekly in order to complete all arrange- 

 ments, and any club wishing to enter can do so by comiug to the 

 next meeting or communicating with the secretary. The next 

 meeting will take place on Friday evening, Sept. 13, at the Shep- 

 pard range. 301 Grant avenue, Kearny. 



ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 7.— The Pistol Club held a well-attended 

 meeting last Monday night, and perfected arrangements for the 

 holding of another tournament. It will be a fifteen weeks 1 shoot. 

 A re-entry and a medal will be aw r arded to the member winding 

 up with the highest straight general average. A handicap goes 

 also in the affair, and the present handicaps are to be given a 

 general overhauling by a committee appointed at the meeting. 

 The initial shoot will take place next Wednesday night.

OLD TIMERS.— The most interesting centest that will occur at 

 the shooting tournament of the New Jersey State. Sportsmen's 

 Association, to be held at the Marion trap grounds, on Sept. 24, 

 25, 26 and 27, will be the event open to all residents of New Jersey 

 over 55 years of age. There are many old-timers throughout the 

 State who intend gelling out and trying their hand with the gun, 

 and although the scores will not reach very high, still the com- 

 petition will be pretty i, veuly matched. Old Long Island rules 

 will govern this shoot, and only one barrel will be allowed, while 

 the gun must be placed below the elbow.
