CREEDMOOR, Oct. 23.— Henry Cox. a farmer of Hempstead, applied 

 to Ju.stice Oullen in the Supreme Court, in Brooklyn, to-day for a 

 writ of mandamus to compel Charles P, Robbms, State Inspector of 

 Rifle Practice, to discontiuiie the use of the Creedmoor rifle range. 

 He swore that he used the land ad.Joining the range for pastiu ing 

 horses. After the range was established he had to keep them in diu- 

 ing the day and let them out at night. The place was dangerous be- 

 canse of stray bullets went over the embankment in the rear of the 

 range. He had leased the )and-to three different persons, but they 

 nil refti.sed to renew their leases. In 188B the land owners received 

 cotuDeu~ation up to that date, but when the range passed into the 

 hiinds of Che State further compensation was refused. Judge Advo- 

 cate Qenera] Jenks said that Oreedraoor was not dangei-ous. The 

 court took tliis view and said that the remed.y was for the relator 

 to apply for an injunction to restrain the person in charge of the range 

 from using it. 



NEW ORLEANS.— A somewhat peculiar condition of affairs exists 

 m East Feliciana parish, in this Stale, as maybe judged from the 

 complaint that the Parish Superiutenrfent of Schools makes to the 

 School Board of tbe habit of bo.vs. e'^ eu in the lower schools, going 

 there armed with revolvers. He msists that this is a bad custom, that 

 hoys ought not to cari-y pistols, and that the teachers should ]>rohibit 

 them from doing so, and makes the following suggestion lo clie School 

 Board in his official report: "Carrying pistols to school should be posi- 

 tively forbidden, and any teaclier kuowiugly permitting it should be 

 dismissed. If people see fit to allow their boys to go on in this uncivilized 

 manner they should not bepermitted to carry weapons to school to crip 

 pie the children of other people." The board favors the proposition, 

 and the revolvei- will no longer be regarded as a necessary branch of 

 the curricuhun in the East Feliciana public schools. 



CANADIAN BIKLEMEN.— There is much talk in the Dominion 

 over the prospect that the next year's team is to be commanded by 

 a petty political potentate of some sort, but not a shootinar man. 

 Tlie Canadian Militia GazcUc is most outspoken about it." Thau 

 such a step a« this nothing could be bettor calculated to discour- 

 age the body of riflemen in the ranks or of officers over them to 

 better themselves in the art of accurate shooting. There are 

 plenty of methods of tacking hippodrome junketing members on 

 to a team without exalting them to the captaincy.

THE INTER-STATE LEAGUE. 



Thuhsuav last, the day upon which the fourth of the Inter- 

 state League contests came off, was one of the most unpleasant 

 daysimaginablefor trap-shootinar. A cold northeast storm was 

 in progress, and rain fell continuously throughout the entire day 

 Despite the inclemency of the weather fullv 150 entbusiastie 

 sportsmen were gathered at John Erb's shooting park to witness 

 the contest. The rules of the J;eaguc allow uo postponement, so 

 the affair had to be rtm ofr". All]:15 A-M. Referee Hugh iJoodwin 

 called the first tquad to the score, and C. M. Hedden leading oft', 

 scored a dead bird for the Newarks, and the match was under 

 way. From start to finish the contest was an exciting one, the 

 leaders kept close enough to make the result doubtful until 

 almost the last gun had been fired , and the beastly weather seemed 

 to have no effect upon the spirits of the contestants or the en- 

 thusiasm of the spectators. The men of the Central Club shot a 

 good up-hill race, but the pace set by the Newark men was a kill- 

 ing one, and before the tenth man had shot the result was a fore- 

 gone conclusion, and the desire of everv one was to see the record 

 broken. The Newark men had reserved a good strong finisher iu 

 Quimby, and their confidence was not misplaced, as he killed 

 straight and put the record out of sight. The birds furnished 

 were a good average lot. and on a clear day, when not handi. 



capped by drenching rain, they would have been as good a lot as 

 ever were seen trapped in a similar contest.
