''Rifle 'Range and Gallery. 
Providence, R. I., Revolver Club. 
Following Mr. Almv’s fine pistol work of last week. 
Major Eddy warmed up his Colt military revolver with 
some good scores on his trip to Bristol Sunday, losing the 
bull but four times in thirty shots. Hot weather, storms 
and a general getting out of town for over Sunday gives 
us a light attendance at the Saturday shoots just now. 
Plans are being made for the competitive shoot for the 
National Rifle Association medal on Labor Day, and in 
order to get the required distance of 200, 300 and 500 
yards, some of the cranks will lay off a range at the 
country place of Mr. Norman, who is an enthusiastic 
member of the club and has an ideal site. The marking 
will of course be slow and crude, but as the number ot 
entries will probable be limited to a little more than a 
half dozen, and the number of shots is but 21 per man, 
those interested anticipate a very pleasant shoot. 
It will be for blood, for the medal is a handsome one, 
and the test will be a good showing of the ability of our 
boys with the military rifle. The 300 and 500 yard stages 
will be new to most of us, and the probable winner of the 
medal is already rumored. 
Ilolmberg is putting in his time on the militia range 
at Attleboro, and endeavoring to qualify for the Wake¬ 
field team; Mavo is gathering together his data of prac¬ 
tice shooting, while on the navy team; Gardiner has the 
slickest Krag in the outfit, but has had little or no 
practice. Almy is saying nothing, but sawing wood. 
Coulters and Hurlburt have found where to hold at 200 
yards, and have an idea they will find the target occa¬ 
sionally at 500. The others are as yet uncertain on en¬ 
tries. 
Messrs. Norman, Powell and Tibbetts will undoubt¬ 
edly be in the run, and we believe the match will be 
one of the best we have had. 
Quite a few of the members’ wives and sisters have be¬ 
come interested in the sport of rifle and target revolver 
shooting, and have done more or less outside practice, 
it would appear from the way in which a few of them 
handled firearms at the special ladies’ shoot last Wednes- 
day evening. There was no stopping of ears or hysterics, 
but instead a look of grim determination on the faces ot 
those who lined up at the firing points, and the results 
surprising to some of the members. 
With the rifle Mrs. Mayo was high gun in the ladies’ 
shoot, scoring 79 (10 shots, possible’' 100 points), with 
Mrs. Hurlburt runner up on 73, and Mrs. Munroe third 
with 72. This was close work, as the highest score for 
the evening was an 81, shot by Mr. Mayo. 
In the revolver event, 5 shots, possible 50 points, Mrs. 
Mayo again took first honors, scoring 41, and as this was 
her first experience with a heavy army six-shooters, it 
looks as though the household could rest in safety from 
burglars. Secretary Hurlburt’s score of 48 was high for 
the members’ side, with Mr. Mayo second at 43. 
These special ladies’ shoots will be one of the club 
features from now on, and will add great interest to the 
liveliness of the local organization.
