The first event rn Thursday was to be the last stage of the interstate 
(regimental) match. The wind was blowing from the south and east 
with an evident intention of settling southeast, and the heavy clouds 
that shut out the sun looked rather wet. but the appearances were 
deceit f ul. There was no rain, and as Bugler Milburn. shortly after 8 
o'clock, sounded the notes of assembly for tne opening of the match, 
straggline gleams of sunshine appeared here and there through the 
clouds. The runs were made in rapid order, and by 2 o'clock the 
match w as tf Dished. The Engineer Corps, D. O,, won first place; the 
Second R^eiment, D. C, was second, and the First Maine Regiment 
third. Following the interstate match was au exhibition of rapid 
skirmish firing with the Springfield rifle by Private Wm. McClelland, 
of the Twenty-first U. S. Infantry. Private McClelland started out to 
fire forty shots in the same number of runs (10) that the troops in the 
interstate match had done using twenty rounds. He succeeded in 
firing his forty shots at the eighth halt. He fired nine shots each in 
two halts. His forty shots were on the target and were recorded as 
follows; Eleven 5s sixteen 4s, thirteen 3s, total 158. The exhibition 
was not given so much for accuracy as to show how quick the Spring- 
field could be manipulated. His style of holding the rifle was what 
is termed the "saw-buck. 1 ' His time in firing in the two halts when 
he fired nine shots was 25 and 26 seconds respectively, and be claimed 
that had the rifle extracted the empty shells freely he could have ex- 
ceeded the number of shots in each halt.

WIMBLEDON CUP MATCH. 
Open to all citizens and residents of the United States. Distance, 
1,000yds. Thirty shots. Weapon, any rifle within the rules; cleaning 
allowed. Position, any without artificial rest. Eighteen-point handi- 
est! for military rifles; six-point handicap for special military rifles. 
The Wimbledon Cup match which used to be one of the features at 
Creedmoor in years gone hv had a larger entry this year than has 
been made for many years. Unfortunately, the day set for the match, 
Saturday, proved to be unfavorable for long-range shooting. The 
day opened dark and cloudy with a heavy southeast wind sweeping 
across the range, and to make the conditions more unfavorable, just 
after the match was opened a heavy shower came up which necessi- 
tated a postponement until after lunch. About 2 P. M. the match was 
reopened with ten men competing. The wind had increased in force 
since the adjournment in the forenoon and was blowing half a gale, 
and to still further increase the difficulties of the marksmen heavy 
showers again set in and continued all the afternoon; the consequence 
was that good scores were out of the question. Pvt. Peter Finnegan 
of the 69th New York Regiment won the trophy on a score of 116. S. 
J. Scott of the Engineer Corps was second with 106. Gen. W. S. 
Choate of Maine was one of the unfortunate ones who had started his 
score in the morning, but in resuming the shooting be found his 
sighting astray, and before he could get fairly on to the target he was 
out of the race. He shot the new Crag-Jorgensen army rifle. Mr. 
Appleby shot the Berthier naval rifle, .236cal. E A. Leopold shot a 
.25-40 Maynard. J. C. Postell shot the plain military rifle without 
special sights. Scores:

ALL-COMERS' MILITARY MATCH. 
Open to everybody, distances, 200 and 300yds, position, standing 
at 200; kneeling or sitting at 300yds. 7 shots at each distance. 
Rifles, any military rifle adopted and issued by any State. This 
match was another event that developed spirited competition. The 
best shots in the teams representing the several States seemed to feel 
that rhev individually were compelled to secure the honor of winning 
the All-Comers' Match. This feeling was particularly acute with those 
who had not secured first place on some of the other events. Five of 
the best marksmen on the range and representing almost as many 
States made a spirited effort. For the top score, this rivalry resulted 
in high scores. S. P. Wetherald, of the Engineer Corps D. C. shot 
himself into first position, beating E. A. Robertson, of Maine and F. C. 
Wilson, of Georgia, one point. Scores:

REVOLVER MATCH. 
Distance 20yds., 5 shots on American standard target, reduced to 
100yds,, position standing, off-hand, use of one arm only allowf d. The 
revolver match received a good deal of attention and developed the 
fact that the military marksmen have given this arm considerable at- 
tention. Among the visitors for this contest were J. T. B. Collins of 
Bayonne, N. J., and C. B. Bishop, of the New York Revolver Club.

eve (the bullseye including the 7 ring): any weight rifle with any 
trigger pull, palm or other rest allowed. When firing, the muzzle 
of the rifle must be kept outride the loop-hole of the shelter. The 
allowance for military rifles will be four points on each string. Clean- 
ing a'lowed between shots. The aggregate of three scores to count 
for all prizes. The Sehuetzen match, an all-comers' and continuous 
match, open during the week, was gotten up to attract the German- 
American marksman who use the heavy rifle with the palm rest. The 
Schuetzens, however, did not materialize to any ?reat extent during 
the week. The only representatives of the "guild" to be seen were L. 
P Hansen, of Jersey City, and E. Fisher, of Hoboken- The New York 
Rifle Club was represented by Messrs. C. E. Gensch and J. E. Young. 
Wm. Hayes, who has developed a first-class ability as a military shot 
and coach, returned to his old love for the time heing and shot his 
heavy 151ba. Sohalke rifle. He made the three best scores ever put up 
in the Schuetzen match on this range. The military marksmen also 
gave this match a good deal of attention. Scores:

rifle. This match for the past three years has been won by Co). A. R. 
Kuser, and as the Colonel is one of the best military shots in the State 
it was expected that he would win it again this year without much 
trouble. Major D. A. Currie, however, was a factor in the competi- 
tion this year that was overlooked. The Major won the trophy on the 
following score: 5 4 4 5 5 5 5—33.

ably has a larger acquaintance among the riflemen of America than 
any other individual member of the fraternity. Of all the marksmen 
who were competing for prizes during the week there was hardly one 
that did not make an effort to secure the trophy. The competition 
was so spirited that it resulted in one full score, made by Col. A. R 
Kuser. and one score of 34 by Geo. E, Cook, also one of 34 by Geo. E. 
Cook, of the Engineer Corps, District of Columbia. Messrs Cook and

Sea Girt Echoes. 
One of the pleasant incidents of the week at Sea Girt was the pre- 
sentation of a gold watch and a G. A. R. suit of clothes to Capt. Jas. 
M. Bod well, the superintendent of the range, by the employes. The 
presentation was made by Gen. Spencer. 
The Georgia team was one of the most popular group of marksmen 
in the camp. Their week's visit to New Jersey has filled each indi- 
vidual member with an enthusiastic desire to come again next season. 
The visit of this team was made under great difflcelties; they could 
get no appropriation from their State to pay for the expense of the 
journey, and each member had to pay his own way. 
The men from Maine were another group who made a good impres- 
sion both in their shooting and social qualities. Gen. W. S. Choate, the 
Inspector General of the State and Col. E. C. Farrington, Inspector of 
Rifle Practice, are worthy representatives of the old Pine Tree State, 
and the efficiency of the team in rifle practice which they brought to 
Sea Girt indicates that the National Guard of that State is in the 
hands of mm who are capable of bringing it. to a high state of efficiency. 
Maine will be represented at Sea Girt in 1895 if she realizes the value 
and welfare of her citizen soldiers . 
The Pennsylvania team and the District of Columbia team were com- 
posed of men who are fit representatives of this glorious land of 
liberty. With such men in the ranks of its militia no State in the land 
need fear the onslaught of anarchy and socialism. 
New Jersey may well be proud of the men who represented her at 
Sea Girt this year. Gen. Bird W. Spencer and his staff are fast bring- 
ing the National Guard into a high state of efficiency. The State 
camp and range at Sea Girt demonstrates the fact that the Slate is 
treating her troops with liberality. Who can demonstrate that the 
outlay is not well invested? 
Capt. Cann, of the Georgia team, is the latest edition of the New 
South. If the old Cracker State would send a regiment of such men 
on an expedition into the North they would make a clean sweep, pro- 
vided their digestive organs could hold out. 
The team from New York was hardly up to par in shooting ability. 
With her many regiments to draw upon, she should be able to turn 
out a team that would be invincible. 
During the week there was a straggling group about the camp with 
a sort of "I am lost" appearance in their manner, and as if to impress 
the expression upon the mind of the camp each individual had a "nut- 
meg'' fastened to his cap. These men were the representatives of the 
3d Connecticut Regiment; they were part of a team that was entered 
to take part in the Interstate military match, but as the rest of the 
team did not materialize they could not go into the match As a regi- 
mental team they entered the Interstate regimental match, and 
secured sixth place in the first stage, making a total of 482; in the sec- 
ond stage (skirmish) they were in tenth place with a total of 094, giving 
them a grand total on both staees of 1,176. The shooting of the team 
gave evidence that it contained good material. We are of the opinion 
that Connecticut is another State that needs a little internal shaking 
up to make her appreciate the fact that her militia is worth looking 
after, in order to put it in condition to be useful in a time of need. 
Sehlicht Rifle Club. 
West New York, N. J., Sept. S — The weekly gallery shoot of the 
Sehlicht Rifle Club held at headquarters this evening, the appended 
scores were made: Medal winners: Geo. Sehlicht champion medal, 
J. Diehl first class medal. J. Sehlicht secoud class f edal, J Dedrick

Rifle at San Antonio. 
The long drawn contest for supremacy in the San Antonio Gun 
Club came to an end on Sept. 2. Each contestant put in a string of 
ten shots at each shoot, but before starting on the record score he 
must announce himself as such. 
This proved to be a ci»uel rule to a good many. One would start in 
and make a rattling score, announce himself for a record string, slap 
in a horrible mess in ten shots, then break the record afterward. 
With very few exceptions the contestants put in their worst shooting 
when on the trophy shoot. 
The rest shooting does not come up to the usual shooting strength 
of the club, but possibly our rest shooting is a trifle more difficult 
than it is elsewhere. 
Mr. Arthur Guenther leads at the 200yds., rest and any, and this 
wins first trophy with a total of 488, an average of 97 3 5 . 
Mr Albert Steves comes in a good second with a total of 476, aver- 
age 95! 6 . 
Mr. E, Seffel wins the trophy for be«t. off-hand shooting, his record 
being a total of 362 points, average of 72 3 5 . 
Mr. G Altmann comes in a very cloae second with a total of 361, 
average of 72i 5 .
