and Short Range Matches. The day being a holiday, large 
numbers of persons, both mililary and civilians, were at- 
tracted to Creedmoor. The usual pressure upon our col- 
umns this week prevents our giving more than a summary

of the American team on Wednes- 
lard participated. The wind wns rather unfavorable, nud 
considering this fact, the scores were good. Major Fulton 
scored 158, and the others as follows: — T. S. Dakin, 140; 
II. A. Gilderaleeve, 140; L. C. Bruce, 139; A. V. Canfield, 
Jr., 139; R. C. Coleman, 135; G. W. Yale, 128. Col. 
Bodiue was absent during the shooting at the 800 yards 
range, but completed his practice at this distance after the 
rest of the team had finished for the day, making fourteen 
bullseycs and one outer, and the capital score of 162. 
—Company D., Twelfth Regiment under the command 
of Captain II. B. Smith, are practicing for their California 
match with much energy, and a marked improvement. 
O 11 Thursday last the team shot at Creedmoor with the fol- 
lowing scores, the distances being 200 aud 500 yards each, 
seven shots at each distance. The weather wns favorable.

rell, 36; A. Beattie, 34; G. A. Banin, 34; L. Moran, 30. 
—Col. G. W. Wingate, General Inspector of Rille Prac- 
tice, has issued his first circular to the Natioual Guard. 
The directions are general, and intended for the several di- 
vision, brigade and regimental inspectors of rifle practice. 
On Fridaj r , June 4lh, at 3:30 P. M. the nhove inspectors 
are directed to meet at Creedmoor with Col. Wiugate to 
compete for the “Marksmen’s” badge. 
The International Match. — Col.’ Gildersleeve has 
transmitted to the Board of Aldermen of this city a sugges- 
tion that the municipality be represented at Dublin during 
the match. On the motion of Alderman Cole a committee 
of three was appointed to accompany the team. Aldermen 
Cole, Purroy and Billings are the fortunate individuals. 
The team have also extended an iuvitatiou to Mr. A. Alford, 
of Messrs Remington & Son’s, to accompany them to Ire- 
land. This is but a just recognition of the eminent services 
bestowed by Mr. Alford in procuring for the team their 
passages without cost, in his exertions in making Creed- 
moor a success, and in the matter of rifle shooting gener- 
ally. 
— It is probable that the Irish team will ho composed of 
the following gentlemen :— Dr. Hamilton, Mr. J. Rigby, 
Mr. J. Wilson, Mr. II. Fulton, Mr. J. K. Milner, Mr. John 
McKenna. Mr. E. Johnson, Mr. J. G. Pollock, with Capt. 
Walker and Mr. Waterhouse as reserves. 
—The match between the Irish-American and Scott ish- 
Amcrican rifle clubs which was to have come off on Mon- 
day, was postponed by mutual consent, in consequence of 
the regular meeting at Creedmoor making it difficult to 
procure the requisite number of targets. 
The SnoRT Range Championship.— This match being 
for the championship and the Forest and Stream gold 
medal, was shot on Monday at J. S. Conlin’s gallery. No. 
908 Broadway. A number of the crack shots of the city 
had assembled to do honor to the occasion, and much in- 
terest was manifested. Mr. G. AY. Hamilton led off with a 
score of 14 iaclies, which although good was immediately 
beaten by Mr. John Tragesson with 13 1-6 inches. Mr. 
Wm. Hayes followed with 12 3-8 inches, and for some time 
it appeared as though Mr. Tragesson would be the winner, 
but at the last moment, almost, Mr. G. W. Yale, one of the 
members of the American International Team, and by a 
score of only 12 inches, carried off the prize. So close was 
Mr. Tragesson that a committee comprising Messrs Mc- 
Donald and Farwell was appointed to measure the strings, 
and they decided in favor of Mr. Yale. Mr. McDonald 
presented the prize in a neat speech, to which Mr. Yale 
replied in fitting terms. The badge will be shot for at the 
same place again ou Monday week, June 14th, nnd must 
be won three lime to become the property of the holder. 
The following are the names of the contestants and their 
scores: — 
John Tragesson, 12 1-16 inch. Win. Hayes, 12 3-8. G. W. 
Hamilton, 14; Robert Fahen, 15V; E. H. Madison, 21 7-16 ; 
AY. II. Howard, 21 9-16; D. S. Beckwith, 26 11-16; F. H. 
Holton, 27 1-8; J. Stewart, 46 2-3; Wm. Klein, 13 2-3; W. 
McDonald, 153 , A. G. Howling, 15 5-16; P. Klein, 15|; C. 
H. Cbecver, 15 6 8; T. C. Mooue, 19 6 8; D. Schlisinger 
19 6-8; G. AY. Yale, 12; AY. B. Farewell, 15 9-10; J. E. 
Whitty, 23$; A. Marsh, 24 9-16. T. H. Holton, 27*. 
—The “National Guard" of Virginia City, Nevada, the 
oldest organization of the kind on the Pacific coast, hns 
forwarded to Col. Church of the Army nnd Navy Journal, 
or proposes to forward, u gold medal of the value of four 
or five hundred dollars, to be awarded at the close of the 
target practice of 1875, to that company of the National 
Guard of the Stale of New Y'ork making the best score at 
Creedmoor. “The conditions are that the companies shoot 
with the minimum number of men require# by the law of 
New Y'ork Stale to constitute a company, who shall be 
actual members on the muster roll at the time of the last 
annual return. The distance shall be 200 and 500 yards, 
five shots each distance, under the Creedmoor rules. 
Weapons, any military gun, open sights, trigger pull six 
pounds." 
Our contemporary in commenting upon this very gener- 
ous offer, says that “its terms are such as may well excile 
the emulation and admiration of the best among our crack 
regiments. A single company of militia 3,000 miles from 
the fancied centre of civilization in New Y’ork city has set 
the whole militia of the United States an example it may 
he pround to imitate. For the love of rifle practice 
the men have willingly taxed themselves to present to their 
bretheru in the east a trophy, asking only in return an of- 
ficial copy of the score that wins the prize.” 
— AVatcrbury, Connecticut, is to have a rifle club. 
On Saturday, the 5th instant, the gentlemen who arc to 
compete as the American International Team with the rifle 
men of Ireland take their departure on the steamer City of 
Chester for the scene of the contest. The eyes of all 
America will be upon them, and the result of their visil 
be it victory or defeat, will be flashed from one end of the 
earth to the other. At the antipodes and the fnrtherest 
cornejs of the globe where the English lunguago is spo- 
keu, the greatest interest is manifesled in this event. We 
wish our countrymeu a pleasant voyage and success.

JUNE IS A CLOSE MONTH FOR GAME. 
— On the Barnstable Marshes, Mass., birds in consider- 
able numbers came just at, the usual time of their Spring 
visits, May 24th. They were principally black and red 
breast plover, and robin snipe. 
The Paink-Bogardus Match — This event, which has 
been looked forward to with unusual interest by all pigeon 
shooters, was decided at Prospect Park on Saturday last. 
The match was made for $1 ,000 a side, the Hurlingbam 
rules to govern, 12 guage guus. The trnps five in number 
were plnced five yards apart, twenty yards from the score, 
the use of both barrels allowed. Bogardus was the favorite 
before the match at 10 to 7, and the issue was scarcely ever 
in doubt, Bogardus out shooting his opponent whenever he 
desired to, notwithstanding that by some ill luck the hard 
birds came to him. After the seventieth bird I 10 killed 
twenty-nine straight, missing the one hundredth, hut win- 
ning by three birds. The “Captain" can justly cluim the 
title of clinmpion field aud trap shot of America. Paine 
shot with a Grant muzzle loader, which by the way was 
found to he 11 guage, and for which he was compelled 
to staud back one yard. Bosardus used a new Scott 12, 
breech loader, especially furnished him by Messrs Wm. 
Read & Sons, Boston. The following is a summary: — 
Prospect Park Fair Grounds, L. I., May 29, 1875.— Match 
for $1,000 between Captain A. II. Bogardus, of Illinois, and 
Ira A, Paine, of New Y’ork; to shoot at 100 single pigeons 
from dve traps, thirty yards rise, eighty yards boundary, 
with 1* ounces of shot; Hurlingbam Gun Club rules’; 
Paine to find the birds and to allow Bogardus $50 for ex- 
penses.
