— We mention with regret that Mr. Charles E. Biyden- 
burgh, the well-known rifle shot, will leave shortly for Salt 
Lake City, where he intends to reside. Of course this is not 
Intended to be an obituary notice, only that our loss is some- 
body eise’s gain. Mr. Biydenburgh will teach the Salt Lakers 
some new things in long-range shooting. So westward the 
course of long range rifle shooting wenas its way.

Competition for the Selection of the American Team.— 
As may be seen by a special notice in this paper, the days for 
testing the skill of riflemen to form the American team and 
reserve have been determined : On the 16th, under these condi- 
tions . Distances, 800, 900, and 1,000 yards ; 15 scoring shots 
at each range ; highest attainable number, 225 points, the 
following scores were made :

Dr. S.T. G. Dudley 69 
July 24.— Complaint is made that sufficient attention is not 
paid by the officers of the N. R. A. to the shooting of those 
desirous of entering for places on the American Team. The 
fact is that there is every interest shown. On the 24th the 
following riflemen tried their skill for places : 
800 
R. Rathbone 08 
Col. H. F. Clark 63 
B. G. Doughty “8 
Dr 8. T. G. Dudley 04 
H. Fisher 03 
There were about 200 members of the National Guard on 
the range, representing the Seventh, Eighth and Ninth Regi- 
ments, who were shooting for the purpose of selecting a regi- 
mental team to contest in the autumn prize meeliDg of the 
National Rifle Association. The Eighth Regiment Rifle Club 
shot for the ** Stewart” gun at 200 and 500 yards, five shotsat 
each range. The leading scores were as follows: Dr. G. I. 
Hobart, 76; Samuel C. Clara, 75; J. Welsh, 73; Charles 
Heigman, 69 ; Lieut. J. A. Gee, 69. 
The Brinton Rifle Range.— The opening of this new 
range on Saturday was one of the leading events. Named 
after Gen. George B. McClellan, whose middle name it bears, 
the range is situated upon a plain between Elizabeth and 
Elizabethport, on the N. J. C. R. R. The targets are of 
canvas, and are admirably adapted to the purpose, and being 
arranged en echelon, the necessity of moviDg backwards or 
forwards to various ranges is no longer necessary. The 
ground is amply large, some 112 acres, allowing ranges from 
100 to 1,200 yards. For the very short time it has taken to 
plan and perfect this range, its present excellent condition re- 
flects the greatest credit on the directors. A contract has 
been made with the military authorities of the Slate by which 
the members of the National Guard have free use of the6hort 
and mid range targets on Monday and Thursday, and of five 
targets on Saturday of each week. To-day the range will be 
formally opened by General McClellan. The members of the 
New Jersey Legislature, the Mayor of Jersey City and other 
officials have signified their intention of being present. 
Marksmen from the First, Thud, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, 
Seventh and Ninth New Jersey regiments and the American 
Team will compete for gold medals. The ease with which 
the Brinton Rifle Range can be reached from New York, 
when compared with Creedmoor, will certainly make it very 
popular. Of course it may take quite a number of years be- 
fore the New Jersey range equals, for excellence of appoint- 
ments, our New York one, but that it will be one of the 
leading rifle grounds in the United States there can be no 
diiubt. The officers are composed of gentlemen who thor- 
oughly understand their , business, and the experience they 
have gained at Creedmoor has been of the greatest advantage 
to them. 
International Rifle Match.— Competition for places. 
On Tuesday the competition should have regularly com- 
menced, but owing to the absence of the officials of the N. R. 
A. and from the fact that the meeting had not been generally 
known, it was determined to postpone the regular competi- 
tion to the following days : July 23, 24, 30 and 31 ; August 
6 7, 13 and 14. Some four riflemen having competed yester- 
day the scores made will be allowed to stand. The conditions 
were as follows: Distances, 800, 900 and 1,000 yards; 15 
scoring shots at each range ; highest attainable number, 225 
points. Following are the scores : 
74- W. Reed, 73; J. C. Clark, 70; W. H. Cochran, 69 ; 
Thomas Murphy, 66 ; W. Stuart, 65; Charles Heizman, 64 ; 
W. J. Douglas, 61 ; Col. G. D. Scott, 64. 
Michigan — Olen Alger liange, Harrisville, July 18.—' The 
following very handsome score, even after taking the single 0 
into consideration, was made by D. McGregor. Distance, 
500 yards ; 25 shots ; Sharps rifle : 
555555555556605555554555 5—119. 
Mr. McGregor says: “I used a Sharps new model mid- 
range rifle, 70 grains powder and 370 grains lead. The miss 
on the fourteenth shot I cannot account for ; seemed to have 
a good sight and pull-off. At two different times before I 
liaa the same experience — all low and falling short of the 
target. I load the cartridges carefully, using old shells. 
Perhaps some brother sportsman can tell me where the 
kink is.” 
Chablebton, S. C.— The interest in rifle shooting seems to 
be on tbe increase here, and almost every aiternoon the sharp 
crack of the Remington, Sharp, and Winchester may be 
heard at the ranges of the different military organizations of 
the city The Carolina Rifle Battalion have commenced a 
series of eleven matches, open to members of the Battalion 
only. The prizes are two handsome medals, one gold and the 
other silver. The member making the best average score will 
be entitled to the gold medal, and the second best score to the 
silver medal. . , . . .

Savannah, July 17.— An exciting contest took place between 
teams of five at 200 yards, five shots, in which the Savannah 
Cadets were the victors. Military rifle was used : Savannah 
Cadets, W. M. Mills, Captain, 99; Co. B, Savannah Volunteer 
Guards, George Allen, Captain, 97 ; German Volunteers, H.

prize. 
Ohio— Cincinnati, July 10.— Cincinnati is developing a de- 
cided taste for rifle practice. A year ago you never heard of 
such a thing as a rifle club in our city, but now there are 
three flourishing clubs and many very good shots. The O. 
N. G. gave an exhibition of their skill at Price’s Hill, tbe 10th 
instant, free to all comers, at 200 yards, tin shots, second 
class target, in which Mr. T. O’Hare carried off the prize. 
This is a very poor range, and one over which many 
would not shoot, hence so few entered.

Ibish Rifle Association.— I t is pleasant for us to record 
some superb scores made by members of the Irish Rifle Asso- 
ciation on the occasion of their meeting on June 25. The 
familiar names of Rigby, Millner and Fenton appear over and 
over again, always on the lead. No wonder, as we 
have recorded it to-day, that the Irish team carried off the 
Elcho Shield. We give some of the scores. At the 500 yard 
All-comers’ match, seven shots, the following were the scores 
J. K. Millner, 27 ; Lieut. Fenton, 27. In the 800-yord com- 
petition, seven shots, Mr. John Rigby led with 34, Millnei 
making precisely the same score, and in the same order -all 
bulls’-eyes but the third shot, which was a lour. For the 
Marlborough Cup, 1,000 yards, ten shots, Mr. John High.' 
made 45 ; Mr. Milner 44. For the Abercorn Cup and All- 
comers’s prize, which gives a place in tbe eight, the scores 
were simply superb. We give the leading ten scores :
