CANADA AT OREEDMOOR.— Ottawa, Ont., Feb. 2.-Stops are 

 being taken to have a Canadian team to compete »t Creedmoor 

 this year for the Hilton trophy, even though the great meeting 

 there is fixed for the same week as the Dominion Rifle Association 

 matches. The trophy is usually contested for on Saturday, and, 

 as the Ottawa meeting can he brought to a close on Chursday 

 evening, there would be just time for a team at Ottawa to reach 

 Oreedmnor. Such a team would be ac a disadvantage of shooting on 

 a strange ranare immediately after a long railroad journey. Tbe 

 Canndtan MiM-tn Oaze.tte, the popular organ of the active force ( f 

 the Dominion, says of the proposition: "Creedmoor may see a 

 Canadian team compete for ttie Hilton trophy this year, even 

 though ttie great meeting th^re is fixed for tbe same week as our 



D. R. A. matches. The trophy is usually contested for on Satur- 

 day, and as our meeting can be brought to a close Thursday even- 

 ing, 1 hero would be just time for a team picked at Ottawa to reach 

 Creedmoor. Such a team would be at the disadvantage of shoot- 

 ing'on a strange range immediately after a long rail journey, but 

 the experiment would be worth trying for one year at least. An 

 ex^'hange of visits like this would do much to foster the interna- 

 tional good feeling which fortunateli- already exists. To read 

 some of the fire-eating newspapers one would almost fancy it dan - 

 gerous to allow the fighting men of the two countries to come 

 together: but we are convinced that the pentiment of the great 

 mass of the people of the United States is in harmony with the 

 motto of she Canadian militia— 'Defence, not defiance,' and tha* 

 the bettei' acquainted the two peoples become the less danger there 

 will be of hostile interference with each other's affairs." 



N. Y. RIFLE CLUB.— Although the weather was by no means 

 unfavorable on the olst, and the light was good enough until the 

 latter part of the afternoon, the atetndance at the regular meet- 

 ing of the New York Rifle Club at C. Wissel's Cypress Hills ranee 

 was not very large. M. B Herrington. with a .38-cal., put up 83 

 on the American standard target, possible 100 points, off-hand, 

 200yds. distance; his other record scores were 83 and 76, two of 

 them good enough to come in for the silver badge. Tae next best 

 man was J. Case, who shot a .38 cal. scoring 84 and 72. J. Duane 

 succeeded in taking third place with a .oS-cal., 67, 71, 75, 80 being 

 his scores. Sergeant T. J. Dolan of t he Twelfth Regiment was de- 

 cidedly not in proper form and could score only 77 and 74 with his 

 .38-cal., unusually low scores for this crack shot of the New York 

 militia. Major Shorkley used a .2o-cal. with telescope sight and 

 managed to pull down 76 and a 73. Mr. Strong tried experience 

 with a.4o-cal. Sharp's military, open sight, his scores running 74, 

 ♦<8, 64, 55 and down to 33. J.J. Dannefelser dallied for a short 

 time with a .32-cal., his best score amounting to 65 points. 



&R ADED SHOTS.— The Inspectors of rifle practice of the Mas- 

 sachusetts Volunteer Militia have determined upon considerable 

 change in the system of rifle practice for this year. The Inspector- 

 General favors holding company competitions, the high men to be 

 eligible to regimental competitions, and the winners in the latter 

 only to compete in State matches. The twelve men recording the 

 highest scores in the State competition, of any class, to be recng- 

 nized as an honorary or distinguished class of marksmen. Bv this 

 plan the number of Qualified marksmen it is thought will be 

 greatly increased, and the grading of them more thorough. The 

 honorary or distinguished class, it is understood, wUl be purely 

 an honorary one, but as it cannot be reached without a series of 

 creditable victories, it will mean the highest honoj-s possible to 

 secure by military rifle shooting in the State. 



GUS ZIMMERMANN.— The challenge for quick shooting issued 

 by Gus Zimmermann at the conclusion of the quick-Qring contest 

 in the Berlin shooting festival last year is still open, and he calls 

 attention to the neglect of it by shooters. Zimmerman is ready to 

 make a match with anybodvunder the following conditions: Any 

 rifle, ofl-hand, 2O0yds. to 200 metres distance, with appropriate 

 point target, center to count two, rest of buUseye one point, each 

 man to fire for one, two and three hours, as per agreement, the 

 -winner to be entitled to the trophy, which shall not be of less value 

 than 81,000 nor more than gl0,000, the interested parties to contri- 

 bute one-half of the money.

BROOKLYN, Jan. 30.— The Crescent Gun Club, of Brooklyn 

 has been greatly strengthened by the admission of new members 

 and the constitutional limit of 30 has nearly been reached. The 

 result was that to-day's regular meeting was better attended than 

 the last sixteen or twenty sho Its. A good lot of birds had been 

 provided for the occasion, and they flew so sw-iftly during the lat- 

 ter part of the afternoon, when the ties were being shot off, that 

 the final results were not attained until darkness set in and put a 

 veto on sweepstake shooting. The race between Hopkins and 

 Tomford in the shoot off for the club badge created a great deal 

 of amusement, as the shooters managed to hit and miss on the 

 same rounds. Sixteen birds had to be shot at by each man before 

 Hopkins was declared the winner. The score: Club shoot, modi- 

 fled Long Island rules, both barrels allowed, 7 birds each man, 



Shoot off of the tie for the club badge and first cash prize, 3 birds 

 each man, th«n miss and out: Tomford killed 7 and missed 6, 

 while Hojikins missed 6 and killed 7. Second money divided. 

 Shoot off for third money, miss and out, won by Rathjen.

 the first match between these two well-known wing shots, Floyd- 

 Jones practically lost the matcu in the first half, his opponent 

 leading him at the conclusion ot the hundred by nine birds. Jones 

 made a fine spurt in rhe latter half of the second part, but although 

 he killed his last 26 birds straight, the match was lost to hira on 

 the 192d round. The attendance was small and betting compara- 

 tively slow. E. Murphy killed 85 in the first and 80 in the second
