THE BISLEY SHOOT. 



London. Julv 25.— The second year at Bipl^y and the thirty- 

 second of the af=so(>ia.tinn is over, with Bomewhat less grumbling. 

 Thpre has been some eood scoring, mue.h bid weather, some im- 

 provempnto. and iipoiL the whole the old Wimbledon record has 

 not heet) pnrpapsed. 



The "Wimb'edoTi CommittPe," to whom the whole of the func- 

 tions of the c.nnn'--il a'-e neieeatfri dnrins the Tupet.ine-. conpisted 

 this vear of the c>' airman and vice-chairman of the council (L'^rd 

 "Waldeeravp ar'ci Sir Henry Fletche'), S'r Henry Holford, Colonel 

 M^rpden. Mr. Humphry, Oaptain the Hon T. F. Frem ntle, and 

 Mr. Whitehead. The execn*ive nfflcer was Mr. Huraphrv. as- 

 sisted hr Mr. Daldy. Mr. Martin, superintenriing clerk at the 

 School of Mu'ketry, >>gam brought his great esnerience tn the 

 all-important statistical branch, of which he was in practical 

 charire, thoueb the dep-^rtinent, was under the general supervision 

 of the spcretary. Colonel Macbinnon. 



On Thursday of the first week an order came ■witbdravvins: 150 

 BeEulars who were acting a=< markers for the Aldershot Review. 

 This was a sharp blow at the Bisley arrangement, and caused 

 much appovance and some money loss to the association. On this 

 day ,Tul'^ 16, two great "any rifle" bi-diurnals werp decided. The 

 first prize in the St Leger shots at POOyds.) fell to Mr. ,Tohn 

 Rigby, who made the highest possihie score. The other six nr-z^s 

 wpre'all taken with scores of 49. In the Halford (10 shots at 1000- 

 yds ) Captain Fonlkes won the first prize with 49. There were two 

 other scores of 49, two of 46 and four of 47, two of which were 

 counted out. 



JmIm 17.— The raagniticent piece of plate called the St. George's 

 Vase, after thirty years of existence as a challenge prize, has 

 h'-en won out and out for the Paisley Oorpe, the 2d V. B. A. &S. 

 Highlanders, formerly the 2d Renfrew. The rule is that whenever 

 the vase is won by a member of a corps of which a member shall 

 have won it previously, the vase becomes the at)solutn property 

 of that corps. But this event has never happened until this year, 

 though, as we have said, there have b"en thirty competitions. 

 Serge'mt Heiton won the vase for the 3d Renfrew in 1881, and to- 

 day Corporal Ritchie, of the =a.me corps, ch rried it off. The range 

 is now asit vpas list year. ROOyds.. (before that it was 500), and hot h 

 Corporal Ritchie and Private Patrick, of the 1st Lanark R. V., 

 made 34 points, and proceeded, of course, to fire the tie shots, in 

 which the former was victorious. If Patrick had been successful 

 the vase would still have been won out and out, for Sergt. Lowson, 

 of the same cotd'^ as P- trick, was the St. George's winner two 

 years ago. Notwithstanding the fact that the original vase goes 

 permanentlv to Scotland, the St. George's competition will not be 

 suspended, for provision was wisely made by the late Col. Cfaas. 

 Lipdsav and the committee of the St. George's when they insti- 

 tuted the prize in 1872, for the formation of a reserve fund, by 

 means of which the vase could be replaced if needful. And when 

 Col->ael Stanley Bt-I and the committee handed over the vase and 

 its funds to the N. R. A. a j ear or two ago, it was on the express 

 condition that a new vasp should be forfh^'oming whenever neces- 

 sarv. Sevent v out of ninety scores of 28 points come into the 

 prize I st. Last year the famous shot. Captain Gibbs, of the 3d 

 Gloster B. v., won the vase with 85 points; the same score (the 

 H. P. S.) being made by no less than three other men— Scoti, of 

 Roxburghshire; Fi'her, of Glamorganshire, and Collis. of Somer- 

 SPtshire. There were also four scores of 34. Seventy-seven out of 

 109 scores of 39 were counted out. 



jMi!?/20.— The only competition this vear at the extreme range 

 of l,100,vd8.. that for tde "anv rifle" Wimbledom cup, took place 

 to-day." Only former winners of certain "any rifle" prizes take 

 part in it, and it is therefore confin>-d to the most, skillful prac- 

 titioners with the match rifle. Fifteen shots have to be an d, 

 so that the highest possible score is 75 points. To-day the cup 

 was won by Capt. Mellish with 65 points. Major Tnorburn, the 

 captain of the Scotch twenty, coming next with 61 points. Last 

 year Capt. Fremanile (who came In third to-day) was the winner 

 with 66 points. 



The council had before them to-day a protest- made in connec- 

 tion with the Mackinnou competition. The match was between 

 international teams, each consisting of 10 men, the prizes of £3<1 

 and £10 to be awarded to the teams who, with five volleys fited at 

 400yds. within one minute, succeeded in making the best score. 

 England, Wa^es, Canada and Jersey competed. The match 

 escaped the attention of the Scotch, and the Iri^h did not think 

 It worth while to enter. England and Wales had only pot off 

 four volleys each when the minute expired. Canada and Jersev 

 both flred'five volleys. The Erglish team, however, with their 40 

 rounds made a higher score than Canada and Jersey obtained 

 with SO shot". It was inadvertently stated that the English 

 lodged a protest because one of their rifles jammeri. As a fact, the 

 protest was by Canada and Jersey,;and was made on the ground 

 that England, by only firing four volleys, did not comply with 

 the conditions. Soon after making the protest, Major Weston, in 

 behalf of the Canadians, withdrew it m very handsome terms, 

 remarking that the loss of an entire volley by the English team 

 was in itself a severe penalty, and that they having made the 

 best score despite this circumstance, Canada had no^desire to 

 take a prize the Englishmen had so well won. The Jersey team, 

 however, .adhered to their protest, but the eonncil after hearing 

 Col. Burt and Quartermaster Gratwicke in reply, disallowed the 

 objection made by .Tersey (who were the lowes' scores in the shoot] 

 and awarded the £20 to England and £10 to Canada. The details 

 of flie shoot were as follows:

The English team consisted of Major Davison (Liverpool), 

 Sergeants Kemp (Reading), Fletcher (Portsmouth). Keating 

 (Liverpool), Corporals Simbock (Chester) and Wrieht (Salford;, 

 Privates N. Chicken (Wigton), Trask (H. A. C.) and Wattleworih 

 (Liverpool). Colonel Burt was captain, and Qmr. Gratwicke the 

 adjutant of the winning team. 



July 21.— To-day the Queen's Prize Fund Stage was shot, and 

 the individual champion oC the meeting determined. At the end 

 of the first range Millner, the silver medalist, and Gibbons, of the 

 West Middlesex, were leading— each with 235— but Millner snon 

 was out of the running. Ultimately, the con'est lay between 

 Gibhons. Hill, of the 19lh Middlesex, and Dear, of the Queen's 

 Edinburgh. After the eighth round at 900yds., Dear stood at 263, 

 and Hill and (xibbons at 258 each. The ninth round produced a 

 magpie for Dear, the same for Glhbons, and a bullseye for Hill. 

 Dear thus Pad 266, Hill 263, and Gibbons 36L Thus, if the Scot 

 could make 3 points at least with his last shot he must win. And 

 he did make a magpie, and thereby raised his score to 209 points, 

 whereas Hill and Gibbons, though thev each mide bulls in the 

 last round, had only totaln of 268 and 266 respectively. Li' urenant 

 Davidson, of Canada, came next with 264 points. Mr. Dear, the 

 Queen's prizeman, is a quiet, self-possessed looking young man. 

 We believe that he is in a solicitor's office in Edinburgh. He is 

 well known as a rising shot in his corps, but has not previously 

 done much in public. This is the second time that the great prize 

 has been taken by a member of the Queen's Edinburgh, Sergeant 

 Menzies having won it in 1873. 



In the meantime a considerable number of people had assem- 

 bled outside the Council building, where L"rd and La(' y Wal de- 

 grave. Sir Henry Fletcher. Bnga,die.r-Gen. McDonald, C.B., Co'- 

 onels McKackinnoD and Marsden, and Major Knox, cB., were in 

 reatiness to welcome the new Queen's Prizeman. The band of 

 the 2d Battalion of the Buffs were, of course, present. Soon after 

 half -past five o'clock it was known lhat Private Dear had won 

 the gr>-at prize, and he himself soon appeared escorted t>y his 

 friends. Daring the necessary process of testing his rifle and 

 verifying tbe register, the hero of the day was placed in the chair, 

 in which he was to be subsequently borne aloft, and was vigor- 

 ously photographed. Soon it was announced that all was correct, 

 and 'Lady Waldegrave advanced and fastened the gold badge 

 upon tlse arm of Private Dear, who was then carried oft in Mr. 

 Walnwright's chair for the usual greetings in the regimental 

 camps, the band of the Buffs precedmg the cortege^ and playing 

 "See the conquering hero comes!" 



Last year, when ttie conditions were exactly the same as now in 

 force, the famou' shot, Sergt. Bates, of B rm'ngham, took the 

 great prize with 278 points— a mngnificent score. It is true that 

 Reid in the previous year made 281, and Fulh r in the year betore 

 that made 280. But then the magjpie and inner of the third class 

 target were reduced in 1890. On the other hand, Bates had the ad- 

 vantage of a sigh'ing shot at each range. 



July 2^.— For the Kolapore Match, to-day. there were represent- 

 atives of the Mother Country, the Dominion of Canada, Guernsey. 

 Jersev and India. Each team consists of 8 men, firing at 200. 500 

 and 600yds. with the Martini-Henry, 7 rounds at each range. At 

 2fl0yd8. Canada made 219, Jersey 218, the Mother Country 208, 

 Guernsey 206, and India 194. At 500yds. Guernsey put on 249. the 

 Mother Country 236, Canada 235, Jersey 220, and India 209, The 

 aggregate scores then stood as follows: Canada and Guernsey 

 each 454, Mother Country 444, Jersey 438, and India 403. At the 

 longest range, however, the strong Mother Country team re- 

 covered itself, making 285, as against the 218 of Canada, 317 of 

 Guernsey, 203 of Jsrsey, and 195 of India, and winning the match 

 bv 7 points above the nest bestecore, that of Canada, ^.tid Spoluts 

 above Gtiernsey. The total scbres were, Motlibr Qoliatfcy 679, 



Canada 673, Gueruaey 671. Jersey 641, and India 598. At ZOOyds the 

 best individual scores made were: Henderson (Canada) 31: Falla 

 »nd Aldridge (Guernsey), Hamou and Auber"^ (Jersey) each 80. At 

 SOOvds. the full score, 35, was made by Smith (Guernsey); 83 by 

 Chicken (Mother Country). McVittie and Ogg (Canada), and King 

 (Guernf^ey); and 32 by Brow n (Mother Country). Windate (Cannda) 

 and Falla (Guernsey)- At 60Ords.: Hamon (Jerspy) made the H. 

 P. S.; Wattleworth (Mother Countrv) and Le Maistre (Guernsey) 

 83 each; Bates and Lawrence (Mother Coun ry), McVittie 

 (Canada) 31 each; and Dalglish (Mother Country), Hpndersou 

 (Canada), Falla (GueruseT) and Dring (India) 30 each. The high- 

 est ageregate score was that of Hamon (Jersey), 93. Then came 

 Falla (Guernsev) with 92; Wattleworth (Mother Country) and Mc- 

 Vittie (Canada) with PO, This most interesting eompptition was 

 instituted in 1871. The real contest has always hitherto b^en bp- 

 tween the Canadian and the Mother Country teams, though repre- 

 sentatives nf India and other dependercies have from t^me to time 

 taken part in the competitions. In the 21 matches which have now 

 been shot, the Canadian team has been victorious five times. Last 

 year the Mother Country team— a verv strong one— won with 704 

 points, Canada coming ncrt with 676. Teams from Guernsey, 

 Jersev. and the Cape also competed. 



Jt<(!y 3.5 — The great event of thed-iy was the shonting for tho 

 Elcho Shield by the Enelish, Irish and Scottish Eights. The Eng- 

 lish captain was Sir H. Halford, the Irish, the Duke of Abercorn. 

 and the Scottish, Colonel Wilson. Captain Foulkes's score of 218 

 points out of a possible 225 has never been equalled in this match. 

 I he highest score hitherto has been 316. which was made by Cap- 

 tain Barnett (for Ireland) in 1?88 and 1889. The English score of 

 to-day (1,670) has only once been exceeded— viz., in 1889, when Ire- 

 land won the match with 1.689 points. 



Of the thirty matches which have been shot since 1863 England 

 has won fourteen, Ireland eleven, and Scotlmd five. Last year 

 Ireland won the Shield for the third consecutive vear. The Irish 

 score of last year was 1,646, England making 1,636, and Scotland 

 1,635.

ROCHESTER TOURNAMENT. 



RocHESTSE, July 28.— The seventh .annual three days' shoot of the 

 Rochester Scliutzengilde opened to-day at Eosenbauer's range on the 

 Ridge Road, The exercises began at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, and 

 e.v-Mavor Parson had the honor of firing the opening shot of the tour- 

 nament. The attendance was exceptionally large for the first f-l ay. 

 The scores were very good indeed. The conditions of the contest have 

 been varied somesvhat from last year. The distance for all targets is 

 175yds. There are three 25 ring targets, one man target, one star tar- 

 get and one eagle target. The ring targets have a black center 9in. 

 in diameter, rings three-fourth of an incti apart, l^^in. bullseye. The 

 man target represents the head and upper portion of a man's body, 

 and is divided into half-inch vertical lines, the center Ihaes counting 

 20. Any rifle weighing less thun laibs. and not over .44cal. may be 

 used. The rain interfered somewhat in the afternoon but toward 

 evening the sky cleared and the sunlight falling at the most advan- 

 tageous angle against the targets favored the marksmen not a little 

 and some of the best scores of the day were made at the conclusion 

 of the day's sport. 



The oflicersof theSchutzenglldeare: Charles Gottschalk, President; 

 A. Halstrick, Vice-Pres.; F. W. Swift, Secretary; C. Kuhles, Corres- 

 ponding Secretary ; George Bort. Treasurer; Frank Schwlkert. First 

 Shooiing Master; Charles Harvey, Second Shooting Master; Charles 

 Hoehn, First Assistant; T. Henley, Second Assistant; Edward Meyer, 

 Third Assistant. 



July 39.— The crack of the rifle stirred the echoes in the adjacent 

 woods at Rosenbauer's range all day while the best shots from the 

 Rochester Sohuetzengilde and the Buffalo and Syracuse clubs were 

 running up some excellent scores for the prizes. 



The wenther was to the marksmen's liking, and they kept up a con- 

 stant fusilade from morning until nearly sunset. The scores at this 

 year's tournament have been exceptionally good, and the contest is 

 more exciting than it has been for several previous years. The Buffalo 

 shots, however, bid fair to carry away a good proportion of the prizes. 

 The attendance yesterday was large, about seventy five marksman 

 taking a hand in the confe.-t. 



Jwiij/ 30.— When the boom of the cannon marked the close of the 

 shooting this evening the results showed one of the must successful 

 tournaments in the history of the Schuetzengilde. Buffalo and Syra- 

 cuse carried off many of the prizes, but the Rochester marksmen 

 Tjroved lively competitors, The scores of this tournament surpassed 

 those of last year, while the attendance throughout was much larger. 



The shooting began promptly at 10 o'clock yesterday morning and 

 was continued during the various showers that fell in the afternoon, 

 the marksmen shooting from cover. The wind that blew during the 

 day interfered somewhat with close shooting. 



The tournament continued so late that it was impossible to shoot 

 off the ties, so these prizes were divided equally amnng the con 

 testants. Schwikert. of this city, and Cargill, of Scottsville, however, 

 were tied for the gold badge, each having 147 noints out of a pcssible 

 150. They were allowed a shot each and Cargill scoring 24 points to 

 Schwifeert's 23. 



The bes-t three men in the various contests were: 



Honorary target (possible 250, off-hand), Dalley, Syracuse, first; 

 Cargill, Scottsville, second; See'ey, Rochester, third. 



Badge target (possible 250. peg rest), Cargill, ScottsvUle, first; 

 Schwikert, Rochester, second; Leighton. Syracuse, third. 



Man target (possible 200, peg rest), D. Eggleston. Syracuse, and 

 Seeley. of Rochester, tied for first at 175 points, and Dalley, of Syra- 

 cuse, and Schmidt, of Buffalo, tied tor second at 171 points. 



Pubh'c target (possible 250, peg rest), Leighton, Syracuse, fli-st; M. 

 Long and Schn-.idt both of Buffalo, tied for second; Dalley, Syracuse, 



'^'^Siar target (possible 15). Kay, Schwikert, Newhart, Cook and 

 Cargill were tied for first place and divided the purse. 



The minor prizes were di^tributed among the other contestants. 



The most interesting contest of the tournament for the Rochester 

 marksmen was that to determine whoshould be king of the Schuetzen- 

 gilde for the following year. The target was a large wooden eagle, 

 2ft. in diameter and containing a dynamite cartridge. The buUseye 

 was Sin. in diameter and the target 175yds. from the shooting stand. 

 Charles J. Hoehn was the winner, his bullet exploding the cartridge. 



petition is in readiness, the former and surroundings presenting an 

 appearance which is absolutely charming. Those who have visited 

 this beautiful spot can readily aporeciate this fact. Tbo^e, however, 

 who have never been there little know of the natural beantv which 

 lies almost at their door. The range proper is an "opening" level as 

 a table, 800yds. in wid'h and 600yds in length. At the northern ex^ 

 tremity rise abrupMy from the plain a series of terracfts outlined 

 against the dark foliage of the woods behind. Toward these targets 

 are directed, the shots of the soMipr=at distances varying from 2n0 to 

 600yds. Behind the butts, out of sight of both marksmen and spe.o- 

 tatbrs. are the simple machinery by which the targets are made to re- 

 volve after each shot; as also the marker*, between whom anA the 

 bullets is a good log wall wl'h a breastwork of a dozen fpct of earii. 

 On either side of the range is a numher of fiagstaffs, on which durfng. 

 the firing are hung brilliant crimson streamers to show in which 

 direction the wind is moving. Thie is an important elenie"t In rifle 

 firing and is always taken into consideration t>v the marksmen. Mid- 

 way between the 600vd. line, and the butts on the east side of the ranee 

 is an opening of three acres. On the other side of this are ranged the 

 tents of the officers and at the eastern extremity are loeatpd the 

 headquarters of the commanding ofhcer. The conimetition will be in 

 charge of Major Daniel W. Benham, Seventh infantry, inspector of 

 small arms practice, department of the Platte, who has devoted to 

 the work a great deal ot time during the present year. He also had 

 charge of the competition last year and the showing wa.s a credit 

 both to the inspector and men. The preliminary practice wUl com- 

 mence on Thursday next. Competitive firing, however, will not open 

 till August 8. This will continue to the afternoon of the following 

 Thursday. On August 13, preliminary cavalry competition will take 

 place. This will continue three days when the comp^ti'lon will begin 

 and continue four days. In this competition there will be abont forty 

 cavalrymen who will use both carbine and revolver. Thev will come 

 from I'be departments af the Platte, California, and the East, as far 

 away as Virginia. The officers in charge of the corapption will be 

 those who have already been enumerated in connection with the com- 

 petition.

UNION GUN CLUB. 



At Springfipld, N. J., on Tuesday last, the Union Club, of which 

 that crack shot, EnOfih D. Miller, is the mainstay, held an open 

 tournament. The programme was a varied one, as both blue- 

 rocks and Standard Keystone targets and live birds were used. 



For once Miller was favored bv fairly decent weather, although 

 the rain, which fell within a radius of 10 miles, kept afew shoot- 

 ers from attending. The club is not a large one and their grounds 

 are not particularly easy of access, oonsequently largo gatherings 

 are not looked for. On this occasion, as at all Jersey roeet'ngs, 

 the live-bird events filled the best. A number of familiar faces 

 that have not of late been seen at the traps were noticed here, 

 among them being Canon, the one-armed expert, and "Dutchy" 

 Smith, of the old Middlesex Cluh. Another most welcome visitor 

 was "Grover C." Courtney, the affable representative of the "yel- 

 low fever" (Lefever) gon. "Court" arrived too late for the regu- 

 lar target events, and although formerly a great admirer of live- 

 bird shooting, he has since the N. Y. State meeting lost all desire 

 to shoot at the feathered targets. Scores:
