The compet itors mepti"e of thf Domin'nn Rifle Association wa« 

 held last nieht in the drill shpri, Lieut.-Coh White in the chair. 

 Oonoiderable discussion took plac^ in reeard t'> 'l^e a-^rangpraeni-s 

 for the scoring In the Gzowski and the British Challenge Shield 

 ma+ebes. 



Major IMcSpaH den, of the 12th Ba+ta^i "u York Ra-^gers, said 

 that there should be a declaration made by the m-eting on the 

 question of the desirability of the parohase of Martini rifles by 

 tbe GoveTQm''nt 



Lieut. -Col. White showed that the record of the R-ifle League 

 showed a good adverage with the SniHpf r'fl-', H" ann"nnce;l 

 thatne had refeiv^d donatioo of $50 from a g^nt'emau in 

 Ottawa as a contribution toward a priZ'^ for the nur-ery aegre- 

 gate, and a donation of $100 from a gentleman in Montre«l as 

 prizes for the highest scorers in the Bisley team, provided they 

 a veraged 90 each. 



Before the meeting adjnu''ued Major McSpadden ad^dsed that 

 the executive should compel Spnntors and m'^rabers of the House 

 of Cimm'^ns in their match next Thursday afternoon to use the 

 Snider rifles of one of the country battalions. The result, he was 

 confldpnt. would he that the militia would be furnished immedi- 

 ate] v wi'h Martinis, 



Ottawa, Seot. 3. — That Rideau ranges offer .at times a remark- 

 ably puzzling combination of p rpl'-xities to riflemen was well 

 illustrated by the shooting in to-day's matches. The constant 

 expression among the competitors was that they are the most 

 difficult ranges in the iJi'm'uion. Eyen the crack shots of tbe 

 luoil corps, thp Governor-G°npral'^ Foot Guards, and 43ii Bat- 

 talion. Oi.tawa and Ca.rleton Rifles, who know every 'neh of the 

 Rideau ranges by heart, were nonplussed to-da.v. The light was 

 not so bad. though at times dur'ng the dav it was trying. It was 

 the wind which made havoc of tt^e nice calculations of the rifle- 

 men. Between the butts an^t the long row of targets lies a valley 

 some S00i"d8 wide, into which, at 1 he past end of the targets, the 

 Rid> au River slncgishly makes ii « wav, a'ld continues eastward 

 to the Rideau Falls, Along 1 hia valley to-dav the winds veered 

 and shifted most capnciouslv. At timrs the strpamers, s^t at i""- 

 tervals of a bundred yards between the butts ani the targi^tsto 

 show the direction of. tb» wind, were flu'tering no two in the 

 same direction. Under the^e conditions the high scoring made is 

 immensely to the credit of to-dav's compeii'ors. 



The evmt of th" day was the Dominion of Canada match, which 

 was begun at '^alf-oa'^t eight o'clock, and was not ended until 

 four o'clock. Following^ a re the results:
