met on Tuesday, Juuo 11. Them were present Messrs. Jack- 
son, Jewell, Allen, Bruce, Blydenburg and Weber in the chair.

discussion, tho following resolution was passed : 
the cmttoiu for tho National Rifle Association and tho Ama- 
teur Rule Club, by joiut action, to select the American rifle 
teams tor international matches, they being heretofore almost 
tpe soie representatives of the interest taken in this country 
n long range rifle shooting, yet in the last few years other

sentative oharacter which it acquired by the method of its 
organization and selection, it could, with more propriety than 
?h n « y i«?T n f 10 ? 0t ri,lomun ' undertake the selection of 
fi Xt lutLTn “ ll ? p,d tCftm ; nnd for these reasons, bclioviug 
that they would be supported in their action by tho ritlumou 
of America, and without auy desire to perpetuate themselves 
as a team, or coveting a trust which could not prove other- 
°, aerou8 ’ tho Programme for the soleo- 
tion of the teams of 1878. But us no foreign team has euterod 
within the time required (Juno 1 ), and there will he no long 
range match this year, therefore be It 
Resolved, That the programme heretofore adopted and 
issued by this team for the selection of the team of 1878 be 
and hereby is rescinded aud withdrawn. 
Wheu the match will he held is not yet decided. 
A Wicked Report. — We are in receipt of numorotts letters 
from auxious friends of Mr. Dudley Solph, requesting us to 
give particulars of au accident said to have occurred to this 
well known rifleman In our last issue, when we noticed tho 
rumor, we were careful to write “ we forbear muntlouing fur- 
ther particulars until wo have the fullest statement of the na- 
ture of tho accident, if any accident there is, and the arm used 
on the occasion." Wo ore in receipt to-day of the following 
letter : 
ana noa ana uun, Jvcto xork: 
Gentlemen— The report that has been pretty well circu- 
lated and made the subject of an editorial in ouo of our sport- 
ing papers, “that the famous rifleman, Dudley Sclph, Esq 
has been permanently injured by the explosiou of a Reming- 
ton rifle,” I flud to bo untrue, having seen a letter written by 
Mr. Selph, duted the 3d inst., in which ho deuies it. IRj 
shoots hie rifle now, and is making his usual fine score. [ am 
heartily glad that the report is not true. 
Yours truly, w. H. Jaokson. 
Boston, June 11, 1878. 
Evidently the rumor was started for the worst of purges, 
in order to cast discredit on the Messrs. Remington aud their 
very excellent arms.
