any position at the latter distance. Military weapons, 2 sighting

Rifle Notes. — The new Wimbledon targets are now the only 
ones in use at Creedmoor, Mr. Brower, the superintendent having 
been instructed to make the change. It will be a question to be de- 
cided whether in such cases as that of the Turf, Field and Farm 
and Remington Badge, the remainder of the competition be not shot 
out on the old style. 
We have before given the scores of the California company who 
are to engage in the Interstate Military match. Capt. Smith com- 
pany, of the 12th Regiment, are working on and at their last prac- 
tice on Friday, the 7th inst., the following scores were made, some 
creditable scores at 500 yards, using the new Wimbledon target at 
200 yards, the men are already quite proficient . The wind was very 
favorable:

The FIRST match of the Separate Troop Cavalry Rifle Club, Capt. 
Karl Klsine, Prest., is announced for Tuesday 18. Weapons, Mili- 
tary carbinhs. Distances 100 and 300 yds. 
The Colonel of the 71st N. Y. Regt. has invented a stand to be 
used in the drilling of men in rifle practice, especially in the hold' 
ing of the weapon and the taking of sight. The device very nearly 
resembles the ordinary surveyor's tripod. 
The Sixth Division N. Y'. S. M. have received an appropriation 
of $.3,000 to a rifle range. It will be located near Syracuse. Col. 
Jas. Manning, Division .Inspector of rifle practice will probably 
fix the range . 
At Conklin's Gallery, the flnest short range string target was 
made on 4th inst., by Mr. Farrel, from California, and a new man 
amongst the New Yorkers. In the 20 shots, at 25 yards, off-hand, 
set-trigger, 22 calibre rifle; the aggregate distance was but 7 13-16 
inches. Mr. O. W. Hamilton's target of 8 inches, which had re- 
mained iinmaiched for over 2 years, is now thrown into the shade 
by this new comer, and Mr. Farrel can do almost as well every day 
In the week. 
The Wsw York World, which is nothing if not pungent, has a dig 
at little Rhode Island, when it says: “ The riflemen of Rhode 
Island had organized a long-range club, bnt upon careful survey of 
the State, found that a 1000 yard range would compel them to tres- 
pass upon the territory of adjoining States.” 
Is Hepburn a know nothing? is the last rifle conumdrum.
