FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Sept. 15, 1892. 



few scores put up in the all-comers'. Perrine and Kuser matches, 

 despite the fact that no shooting could be done at 509yds. until late 



^^The nifeht v^s another of the cold and damp ones for which the 

 section is noted, and everybody was particular in closing lent 

 flaps and getting blankets enough to keep out the chiJl avr. And 

 tbeyallturnedinpretty early in order to get into condition tor 

 the known distance stages in the New Jersey National &uard and 

 the regimental team matches, scheduled for 



Wemcsday, Ui-e Tivird Day, 



which opened up beautifully. The morning was slightly cool, but 

 the air was as clear as a crystal and there was not the suspicion 

 of a cloud in the sky. Breakfast over, all hands overhauled their 

 rifles to see that they were in proper working order, and by 

 o'clock all were ready and eager for business. 



It was about 9:15 when Gen. Spencer called up the teams to 

 shoot their 200yds. scores in the Regimental Team match, open tn 

 New York, Pennsylvania, Maine, Delaware, Maryland, Connecti- 

 cut, District of Columbia and New Jersey. The teams that were 

 entered were from the First and gpcond regiments. Sixth Bat- 

 talion and the Engineer Corps, D. C. M.: Sixteenth Regiment, 

 N. G., Pa., and from each of the six New Jersey regiments, 'ihe 

 Sixteenth Pennsylvania did not enter until late, being short one 

 man until Lieut.-Ool. Horton arrived. Some fine off-shouldpr 

 work was done by this team, which put up 260 out of a possible 300 

 points. This was high score at this range, tlie next best being 24«, 

 made by each the First Regiment and Engineer Corps teams oi 

 tbeD. C. M. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^. ■ 



Immediately after the above came the short-range shooting m 

 the New Jersey National Guard match, the leading total being 

 Sti, made by the Second Regiment team, the t«am of the Seventh 

 being next with 337. , ^ i.. 



After dinner came the shooting in these matches at {lOOyds., tne 

 Pennsvlvanians rolling up a score of 245 to the D. C. Engineer 

 Corps' 2^0, and the First D. C.'s This gave the Pennsylvania 



Bbto.-Gbn. Spenceh, 



regiment a lead with 505 to the Engineer Corps' 406 and the First 

 O C ""s 495 



in the New Jersey National Guard Match at the 500yds. mnges, 

 the Second again led 'with a total of 244 to the Fourth's 2.33 and 

 the Seventh's 2ai. This gave the Second an aggregate at the two 

 distances of 485 lo the Fourth's 460 and the Seventh's 458. 



During the shooting at 20nyrls. the light was rather bright, the 

 wind holding about a four-mile pace between "10" and "11 

 o'clock." When the shooting began at 50Cyds. the wind was 

 identically the same as above, but the tricky current mentioned 

 early in this article made it extremely diflicult to get two shots 



*°fhe^team of the First Regiment was handicapped, having its 

 captain crippled up 80 that he was unable to shoot, this necessi- 

 tating the putting In of a substitute who had had no practice. 



The team of the Second Regiment, which caught a lead on the 

 two distances in the State match, also had a hard run of luck. 

 After getting part of his shots in at 200yds. the breech-block blew 

 out of the Springfield used by Sorgt. Brooks. He was obliged to fin- 

 ish with a strange rifte, and the pull being entirely dilferent from 

 his own, gave him a ricochet on his next shot. Again at 500yds. 

 in the same match Sergt. Chion got in position to shoot his score, 

 and when he attempted to close the breech of his rifle the hinge- 

 pin snapped otf- He, too, was compelled to shoot with a strange 

 rifle wiih no sighting shots. Despite his hard run of luck Capt. 

 Decker of the Second's team was as cheerful as if everything was 

 running his way. 



Abotii 10 o'clock on Wednesday night the rain began to patter 

 on the canvas and for a time this kept the boys guessing as to 

 whether or not they would ho obliged to make their skiimiah 

 rune in the rain. An hour later, however, their minds were made 

 easy by the appearance of a full set of stars. 



Thursday, the Tliira Day, 



opened with indications for a good shooting day, the light being 

 of the gray tint so much desired by marksmen. The wind was a 

 trifle stronger tnan on Tuesday, although it held fairly steady 

 between the "9" and "11 o'clock" figures on the dial. Everybody 

 slept as long as possible, the Jersey team men in particular being 

 anxious to get ns much rest as they could as they were fchedttled 

 for 6 skirmish runs during the day.while the District of Columbia 

 and Pennsylvania men hnd only two runs each staring them in 

 the face. Upon reporting at the range the Jerseymen received a 

 very agreeable surprise in the form of an announcement that 

 their scores made in the N. J. N. G. match would be counted as 

 two scores in the CoUimbia trophy match. 



And what a great big sigh of relief they sighed. To make 4 

 runs instead of 6 is qtilte a differencp, gentle reader, and if vou 

 don't believe it try the experiment. "We" meaning "ns" cf 

 course, were "there" during the week and took part in all the 

 shooting and can assure all parties interested that "we" Wf re 

 perfectly saiisfied to make the 4 runs instead of 6. When con- 

 templating the prospect of making 6 skirmish runs, "we" could 

 not avoid noting that every once in a while (sometimes oftener). 

 a sort of a twinge just above the muscle on tne right arm would 

 remind "us" of a earless "hold" on a shot fired in one of Tues- 

 day's runs. But then, just think of the fun you get for your 

 money. 



On the previous evening the teams had been notified that the 

 skirmish firing would begin promptly at 9 A. M., but it was 10:15 

 before the first squad was started. The first two runs were^n the 

 Regimental Team match, and the nest two imade in the after- 

 noon bv Jersey teams only) counted for both the N. J. N. G. 

 matches and the Colnmbiii Trophy; match. It was almost 1:15 

 P. M. when the first two runs were completed, and when the Jer- 

 seymen went to dinner they were told to be on hand "promptly at 

 2 o'clock" for the other two runs. And they were all on hand at 

 tne appointed time, but, as in the morning, they were obliged to 

 make a long wait, it being 3:15 before they got to work. Had they 

 been started at the scheduled hour they could have finished long 

 before 4 o'clock; but as it was the last squad did not leave the field 

 until close to 5 o'clock. Tbis delay of course made no material 

 difference to the team men, but it did make a difterence to those 

 who had been shooting SOOyds. scores in the Perrine and All-com- 

 ers' matches and to those who were anxious to shoot in the Kuser 

 match, as the 500yd8. ranges were kept closed until the etirrent 

 and light precluded any possibility of being sure of a score. 



Below will be found the detailed scores ot the thi"ee matches 

 epded on Thursday.
