The first annual meeting of the Rifle League of Canada was 

 held this evening. Mayor Mason in the chair. There was a large 

 attendance. The secretary's report stated that there were 53 

 teams and 800 competitors in the league matches. A reference 

 to the "phenomenal shooting" drew forth loud cheers and laugh- 

 ter. Capt. Russell, of t he 45th, made 101 out of a possible 105. 

 Capt. Bruce presented the treasurer's report, showing receipts for 

 $475 and a balance on baud of 24 cents. Sir Adolphe Caron, who 

 was present, presented the prizes. Lieut. Healy accepted the 

 trophy, a magnificent specimen of the silversmith's handiwork, 

 on behalf of the 54rh, Windsor Mills, Que., nine. Very handsome 

 silver cups were presented to the following corps: 13th, 53d, 45th 

 Bowmanville, 45th Lindsay, Halifax G. A., 96th, 3lst, 12th and 63d, 

 The winners of badges also came forward and received their 

 prizes. Sir Adolphe Caron made a speech in excellent taste, in 

 which he gave credit to Col. Fred. Denison, of Toronto, and Col. 

 O'Brien for their efforts in getting free Ammunition for the 

 League. Ho announced he would give a prize for next, year's 

 matches. He dwelt on the importance of the matches and humor- 

 ously remarked that as a public man he sometimes required good 

 marksmen to protect him. Sir Adolphe closed by promising free 

 ammunition next year. Col. Powell, the popular and efficient ad- 

 jutant-general, made some encouraging remarks. Resolutions of 

 thanks were passed to the o dicers of the League, to the Govern- 

 ment and to the Militia Gazette, wliose editor, Mr. J. D. Taylor, 

 responded in a speech which went to the hearts, and, he trusted, 

 to the pockets, of the militiamen present. Major Weston touched 

 a tender spot when he stated that in future care should be taken 

 to have the scores properly checked and verified. This sugges- 

 tion met with loud approval. The following officers were elected : 

 Pres., Lieut.-Col. Hon. J. M. Gibson, Hamilton; Vice-Presidents, 

 Lieut.-Col, Anderson, Ottawa, and Major Delamere, Queen's Own, 

 Toronto. Secretary Pringlea.nd Treasurer Bruce were re-elected, 

 and Mr. Crooks was appointed assistant secretary. 



Ottawa, Sept. 2.— The weather vouchsafed for the second day's 

 matcbes of the Dominion Rifle Association, though cheerless aim 

 objectionable to the average citizen, was somewhat in favor with 

 the marksmen on the rifle range. The sky was dull to a degree, 

 and ever and anon a sort of Scotch mist descended, sufficiently 

 copious to keep everything in a damp and clammy condition. Tite 

 atmosphere was so motionless that the powder smoke evinced a 

 tendency to hang over the range, and almost the only complaint 

 heard was that this "reek," as a Scotch competitor termed it, 

 prevented, in some cases, a clear view of the targets. The range 

 did not look so lively as on the first day, there being few or no 

 visitors; and the competitors who were not actively engaged in 

 shooting stayed in their tents and swapped lies as to the great 

 scores they had made during the practice season and in the Rifle 

 League season. 



The scores in the Gzowski and the British Challenge Shield 

 matches, which came off yesterday but the result of which was 

 not made known last night, were posted early to-day, and showed 

 that, in the first named match first and second places were taken 

 by the two Ottawa corps, the Governor-General's Foot Guards 

 and the 43d Batt. The former apparently beats the latter by one 

 point. The result is not cheerfully accepted by the 431 team, for 

 the reason that the tickets of the match were taken away by Capt. 

 W. E. Hodgins and kept by hi en over night. That was the reason 

 the score could not be made up last night. The 43d men are in- 

 clined to reject the finding because Capt. Hodgins is an officer of 

 the Foot Guards. Of course Capt. Hodgins is incapable of tampar- 

 ing with the tickets, but under the circumstances it is unfortu- 

 nate that he should, by hie action, have left any room for doubt, 

 and in a certain degree destroyed the conclusiveness ot the match. 



The following were the results in the Gzowski and British Chal- 

 lenge. Shield matches, fired yesterday. 



The Gzowski match— Open to one section of 5 efficient men from 

 any corps of the active militia of Canada; to the section making 

 the highest aggregate score in the following stages: skirmishing, 

 20 rounds, from about 450vds. to 100yds., ad vancing and retiring, 

 any military position; volley firing. 5 rouuds at 300yds., kneeling; 

 independent firing. 5 rounds at 150yds.. standing, at targets ex- 

 posed to view for limited periods:

 hrooke, 239. 



This match was won last year by the Ottawa Guards with 422 

 points, so it will be seen that the shooting was remarkably good 

 to-day. 



The British Challenge Shield— The shield presented by the Aux- 

 iliary Forces of Great Britain to the active militia of Canada, 

 with $100 added by the D.R.A.; teams of 4efficienr, men; skirmish- 

 ing, 20 rounds, from about lOOvds. to about 450yds., standing, 

 kneeling or prone, at the discretion of the tirer; advancing or re- 

 tiring under the order of the officer appointed to the command of 

 all the sections; target exposed 15 seconds:

 Toronto, with 280 points. 



The fourth place is subject to confirmation by the Executive, 

 the score of the Q. O. R. team and that of the Montreal Garrison 

 Artillery being a lie so far as the number of points recorded is 

 concerned.

 counted in last year, so the shooting of this match was much 

 better than last year. 



The Minister of Militia's match was opened at 2.40 P. M„ and 

 was finished in the rain. The weather continued good for shoot- 

 ing, however. 



Minister of Militia's match.— A challenge cup for teams of three,

This evening the annual meeting of the competitors was held at 

 the drill hall. Hon. G. A. Kirkpatrick, M.P., president, was in 

 the chair, supported by Lieut.-Cols. Bacon and White. Captain 

 Ad»m, of Hamilton, offered a resolution, seconded by Capt.Adams, 

 of Halifax, recommending that the extra series be "abolished and 

 sighting shots introduced. After a discussion, however, and on a 

 vote this motion was replaced by one retaining the. extra series, 

 hut also introducing sighting shots at a charge. A resolution waB 

 adopted in favor of further restricting the qualification for the 

 nursery match entries. On motion of Maj. Weston, it was resolved 

 to apply to the Department of Militia for a reduction in the price 

 of ammunition supplied to the D. R. A. Capt. Bogers, of Ottawa, 

 moved that in future the aggregate that decides the Bisley team 

 shall be altogether from the Martini matches, which should be 

 increased. He said that capital shots with the Snider were usually 

 poor shots in England with the Martini. This change could be 

 made, he thought, without hurting the feelings of the. Minister of 

 Militia, who armed the forces with the beautiful Snider. Capt. 

 Bi6hop, in seconding, said the motion reflected a general feeling. 

 At Bisley they met the pick of the Martini men of the world, and 

 it was folly to send men over there not versed in the use of the 

 Martini. Capt, MeNachtan. of Cobourg, said that so long as the 

 forces in Canada were armed with the Snider it would be unfair 

 to make this change. President Kirkpatrick strongly opposed 

 the resolution, which would exclude the mass of our volunteers 

 from competing for the chief prize of the D. R. A. meeting. More- 

 over, as soon as the new rifle in England was adopted for the force 

 the Martini would disappear. A dozen or so voted for the motion 

 and about two dozen against it, so it was lost. The meeting then 

 adjourned. 



Ottawa, Sept. 3.— Gay is the great appropriate adjective to 

 apply to the appearance of the Rideau range to-day. The Presi- 

 dent, Mr. Geo, A. Kirkpatrick, M. P., and Mrs. Kirkpatrick held 

 an "At Home" in the Council tent in the afternoon. Scores of 

 ladies and gentlemen paid their respects to the genial president 

 and his charming wife, and partook of their hospitalities. The 

 band of the Governor-General'e Foot Guards filled the air with 

 strains of music, and indeed the whole aspect of the place was 

 that of a place au.c dames rather than a champ de-mars. The ladies 

 were there in great numbers, and 1 he lovely weather induced them 

 to stay until the last shot was fired. It would not be surprising 

 to find that toward the closs of the day the shooting showed a 

 decided inferiority, for one could not expect the marksmen to 

 continue making bullseyes while they were making sheep's eyes 

 at the fair promenaders who had so suddenly developed an inter- 

 est iu the competition and competitors. 



A slight change must be made in yesterday's table of the result 

 in the Minister of Mditia's match. It appears that the Ottawa 

 Rifle Club took part in the contest, but did not put in their tickets 

 till this morning. On examination it turned out that they had 

 taken second place. This puts the Queen's Our Own Rifles out of 

 the list of prize winners in that match.

Ottawa, Sept. 4.— Another day's excellent weather greeted the 

 marksmen on the Rideau range as they went to the butts in the 

 Rideau match sharp at 8:30 this morning. The match was con- 



. eluded on time, and the Ouimet match was at once started. 



i Everything looked as if the work of the meeting was to be dis- i 

 posed of before dark, notwithstanding that a large programme 



I had yet to be got through with, After the Ouimet match was 



concluded, about noon, and when negotiations were under way for 

 starting the Governor-General's match, it. was found that several 

 ties had to be shot off before the hundred in the grand aggregate 

 could be completed. No less than six had to Are for last mace on 

 the grand aggregate, while some others had to fire for a place in 

 the prize list. This being done, it, was found that Sergt, Grae- 

 buru, of the 90th, and Pvt. McVittie, of the 13tb, a voung lad and 

 son of the. veteran Scotch shot of that name, had for the second 

 time (led for the last position of the, prize list. Graeburn secured 

 it, but the youth is well up in the aggregate, and has jet a chance 

 to win the. Governor-General's prize and go to Bisley besides. By 

 the time all these delays were shot off it was well into the after- 

 noon, and it was found impossible to get through with the work 

 to-day, and the council wisely decided to postpone further shoot- 

 ing until to morrow. Experience now goes to show that all the 

 matches cannot be crowded into four days. The following are 

 to-day's scores:

Ottawa, Sept. 5.— The plum of the Dominion Rifle Association 

 meet, the Governor-General's prize, consisting of a special badge 

 and $250, goes to Winnipeg, Staff-Sergt. C. N. Mitchell, of the 

 90th, and one of the four famous Mitchell brothers. beirjg the 

 lucky man. Capt. McMicking, of the 44th. takes the second prize 

 of 8150, and Pvt. Watters, of the Oth Fusiliers, the third prize of 

 $100. 



Firing in th© Governor- General's match commenced at 8:30, the 

 weather being favorable, although there was a strong right breeze 

 blowing. Several of the competitors came back from the 500yds. 

 range with scores of over 60, and when the final stage had been 

 shot it was found that the three riflemen named above and Sergt. 

 Harp, of the Q.O.R., had tied at 93 points for the money prizes. 

 The men had, therefore, to shoot off, a decision being arrived at 

 by the aggregate score in five rounds at the 800yds. range and then 

 by firing single shots until decided. When the four men took 

 their positions at the targets there were hundreds of spectators 

 behind the ropes. Mitchell fired first and scored a bullseye. Mc- 

 Micking followed with an inner, Watters with a magpie, andHarp 

 with an outer. Their respective scores, shot for shot, are here 

 given: 



Mitchell 55552—22 McMicking 44342-17 



Watters 35450-17 Harp 25324-16 



Mitchell, Watters and McMicking in their fifth shots failed to 

 notice that the wind had freshened, with the result that two of 

 them onlv scored outers, while Watters was carried entirely off 

 the target. On his last shot Watters bad the chance of tieing 

 with Mitchell for first money, but missed his chance. Harp did 

 better with bis last bullet than the others, but he had to be con- 

 tent with fourth place. McMicking and Watters had then to shoot 

 off ties for second money, one shot each deciding the question 

 according to the rule. McMicking scored five and Watters three 

 points. Mitchell received a hearty round of applause for bis 

 efforts. The provincial match concluded the twenty-third annual 

 meeting of the association.
