 State Long Range, Now York Sta te National Guard, and First and 

 Second Brigade matches aro retained on the programme of the

 ciation should furnish competitors with weapons without charge 

 and with special ammunition at cost. 



ATjBAjsty, June 13.— The Legislature of last year passed a law 

 providing that whenever the National Rifle Association should 

 convey to the State its grounds at Creedmoor, L. I., constituting 

 the rifle range and containing 75 acres, with hotels, targets anil 

 other property thereon, free from all incumbrances, by a deed to 

 be approved by the Attorney-General of the State, the Adjutant- 

 General should accept and manage the same as a State rifle range 

 for the use of the National Guard. The Attorney-General has 

 approved such a deed of Creedmoor, wdrich was made some time 

 ago, and tne Adjutant-General has accepted the property. This 

 conveyance is subject to the right of the National Rifle Associa- 

 tion for a term of ten years from the date, of the passage of the 

 act, upon paying the. expenses of markers and any and all neces- 

 sary expenses to hold its annual competition in rifle shooting at 

 Creedmoor for a period not exceeding ten days in each year, and 

 such other rifle matches and practice as may be approved and 

 authorized by the. Adjutant-General. The law also constitutes 

 the Adjutant-General, the Chief of Ordnance and General In- 

 spector of Rifle Practice a board to acquire additional land in the 

 rear of Creedmoor in order that rifle practice can be properly 

 carried on upon the range, and $25,000 was appopriated for the pur- 

 chase of additional land. The hoard has held one meeting, but 

 decided not. to purchase any land until the puhlic road which lies 

 in the rear of the range, has been declared closed. 



Adjutant-General Porter has issued an order to the General In- 

 spector of Rifle Practice tb"t no liquor shall be sold on the ground.

 Schoeneek. W. P. Winters, proprietor of the Ephrata House, and 

 J. R. Shirk, of Ephrata, in the field of Jacob Blaster, where the 

 target is placed, helping to plant potatoes, before the match could 

 take place. Mr. Rissler was at planting potatoes in the range of 

 the target and the place where the boys stood to shoot, and in 

 order to get him out of harm's way the boys jumped over the 

 fence, grasped several baskets and coal buckets, and in an hour 

 or so had planted quite a number of rows, each probably nearly 

 100yds. lone-. The boys enjoyed it, and Mr. Rissler was not iu the 

 least sorry for the unexpected help. 



The Schoeneek Short Range Rifle Club met at. their range, at 

 Schoeneek, on last Saturday afternoon, for practice at 25yds., off- 

 hand shooting, with .22cal. rifles:

NEW YORK STATE ASSOCIATION. 



ON Monday evening, June 10, the delegates to the thirty-second 

 convention assembled in the handsome quarters of the Lyons 

 Club, President W. S. Gavitt in the chair. The meeting was 

 called to order at 9 o'clock. The president opened the proceedings 

 by giving a short address regarding the affairs of the association. 

 Among other things he suggested that the words New York he 

 dropped from the name, and it be hereafter simply called State 

 Sportsmen's Association; also that the dues be increased from a 

 single doUar, which was far too small an » mount, and the. money so 

 collected to be used in the purchase of trophies for the regular 

 State events. He was glad to see so large an attendance, which 

 argued well for the prosperity of the club. Mr. Gavitt spoke well 

 and clearly, and was several times 1n the course of his speech 

 greeted with applause. In conclusion he tendered the dele- 

 gates the most hearty welcome from the managing clab, 

 the Spencer, and from the Lyons Club, whose rooms were ten- 

 dered in so kindly a manner for the use of the convention. The

 tary, John B. Sage, was ordered to cast the ballot, and upon doing 

 so he declared all those proposed duly elected. 



Repert of Committee.- The one by Messrs. Hadley, Gavitt and 

 Whitney regarding the programme of the present meeting. 

 Hadley, as chairman, handed the secretary the printed pamphlet, 

 saying that was the report of the committee, and that he felt 

 warranted in saving that the result of the labor of the committee 

 was the best and most varied list of prizes ever offered for compe- 

 tition by the State Sportsmen's Association. (Mr. Hadley evidently 

 forgot the meeting at Coney Island.) 



It appeared that there was a hot contention among the clubs as 

 to where the next convention should be held. Buffalo, Syracuse 

 and Rome wished it. Syracuse and Buffalo wished an adjourn- 

 ment in order that more delegates in their favor should be 'pres- 

 ent. Rome and their friends insisted upon immediate action. 



At last year's convention the cnoice of places lay between 

 Lyons and Rome. The contest was close. At a late hour, by a 

 tacit agreement with the delegates, Rome agreed to make Way 

 for Lyons, if she could be made the choice for 1891. While it was 

 not iu writing this agreement -was understood by every man pres- 

 ent nnd should have been binding. The action of this night, look- 

 ing to a repudiation of that implied pledge, was entirely wrong. 

 Upon the motion to adjourn being defeated a scene of uproar fol- 

 lowed, which defies description. Motions, counter-motions, 

 amendments came from the mouth of every one, a dozen often 

 at once. The chair was not recognized, and the presiding officer 

 for a time was unaole to quell the disturbance. After two hours 

 waste of time it was moved and carried that the regular order of 

 business be proceeded with. Mr. Hadley moved that Rome be the 

 place where the convention of 1891 should meet. Richmond, 

 Koch, Hookway. Gowns and others opposed, asking that Buffalo 

 be the choice. Barnum and Windom asked that Syracuse's claims 

 be heard. Barnum stated that Rome was a new member, of but 

 a few years standing, while Syracuse was one of twenty years; 

 that Syracuse had taken it when any other club declined it. 

 taken it when a moneyloss was sure to follow, rather than no 

 convention held the year referred to. 



Hadley iu answer asked whether it was a question of money- 

 making or not. The argument he.came forced and heated. Gates, 

 addressing the chair, said that he regretted those scenes of dis- 

 order aud violent personalities; that the members wore supposed 

 to be gentlemen as well as sportsmen, and asked them to act. as 

 such. 



The confusion at this point reminded one stronely of a heated 

 political convention. At 11:30 P.M. a motion was made to vote 

 upon the choice of the delegates as to where the next convention 

 should be held. It resulted as follows: Rome 55, Buffalo 26, Syra- 

 cuse 15. Many delegates declined to vote. Upon motion of *Mr. 

 Hudson, of Syracuse, the choice of Rome was made unanimous. 



Election of officers followed. After the exciting scenes occur- 

 ring before this, the splection of officers was an exceedingly tame 



(his 2bth year). Buffalo; Corresponding Secretary, W. R Bingham; 

 Treasurer, Dan Lefever, Syracuse. Adjourned until Wednesdav 

 evening. 



At the request of the Lyons Club, the visiting members, dele- 

 gates and frietxls were asked to partake of supper readv in the 

 dining room of that club. The affair was thoroughly enjoyed, 

 and the hour was late when the party separated. 



The hours before the assembling of the convention found many 

 of the men on hand. As the time was likely to prove dull unless 

 something was done to prevent it, a series of sweepstakes were in- 

 augurated, commencing at early afternoon and continued without 

 intermission until the sun went down. The weather was all that 

 could be asked for, clear but warm. 



The grounds were nicely situated about a half mile from the 

 train and were large, as good as could be desired for the purpose. 

 At the right field a clump of trees interfered somewhat with the 

 light. In center field a large, heavy foliaged oak also was in the 

 way. Outside of that nothing better could have been asked for.

 a strong westerly wind blew across the field and tempered the 

 scorching heat. The contests were of the hottest character, fully 

 equaling the weather In that regard. The hack service between 

 the city and the grounds was excellent. The distance is a little 

 over a half mde, not quite three-quarters, the charge being ten 

 cents each way. The service was continuous, the hacks running 

 all the time, whether a full load or a single passenger was to go- 

 so in consequence they were greatly patronized.
