Intercity Hi^h School Rifle League. 
week’s matches in the Intercity High School 
Rifle Shooting League resulted in no change of the 
leaders. Both Iowa City and Deering High won their 
matches by default. 
A feature of the shooting was the breaking of the 
interscholastic record by the team of the Baltimore Poly- 
^tistitute, their score of 9i0 being 2 points better 
than the previous record made by the Deerino- High 
School boys of Portland, Me. The tie between Portland 
' and Iowa City will be shot off this week. 
of matches, the first held between the 
public high schools, has been a great success, and has 
been the rneans of bringing to the attention of other 
high schools throughout the United States, the popu- 
Jarity of rifle shooting as a school sport, and has resulted 
the organization of many new clubs among the schools 
in^ different parts of the country. 
The results of last week’s matches are as follows: 
Baltimore “Poly,” 970, defeated Southern High and 
.Training, 914; Deering High, 959, defeated De 
VVItt Uinton, 0, by default; Iowa City High 950 de-

Intercollegiate Rifle Tournament. 
Massachusetts Agricultural College, Command¬ 
ant’s Office, Amherst, Mass., April 1.—Editor Forest and 
iitream: A few days ago one of your subscribers called 
my attention to your issue of Feb. 10, in which, under 
the picture of the Captain of the Princeton rifle team, 
you say, “Leading Eastern team in Intercollegiate Rifle 
Pournament.” This subscriber was not at all pleased, 
and asked me to write you, giving you a few facts. 
I am a great admirer of Princeton in all of its work, 
scholastic as well as along the lines of her great athletic 
abilities. However, I know Princeton does not care for 
any honor that is not hers. 
The rifle team at this college has just won the In¬ 
tercollegiate championship of the United States by the 
remarkable score of 973 for the best five men in ten. 
Iowa, our competitor, had a score of 971. More than 
this, the team here has won this championship for the 
last three years, and each year has broken the inter¬ 
collegiate record. Again we have won the outdoor 
championship for the past two years, and each year have 
broken the outdoor record.' 
I inclose a report of the last matches of the Eastern 
League, in which we met Princeton, winning the match 
by 51 points. You will note that nine teams shot above 
900, and Princeton was No. 9, with a score of 907. I 
don’t consider that Princeton this year had as good a 
team as either Harvard or North Georgia. In view of 
the fact that in eleven matches Princeton’s highest score 
did not equal our lowest, you may wish to change the 
wording of the remark referred to, and call the team here 
the leading team. Geo. C. Martin. 
[The week of Feb. 10, in which issue the photographs 
referred to appeared, Princeton and Massachusetts Ag¬ 
ricultural College teams were tied for first place in 
Eastern Division of intercollegiate rifle tournament. 
Princeton won the trophy for college not having a mil¬ 
itary department. —Editor.] 
J. H. Barlow. 
JoH.v Harwood Barlow, inventor of Ideal cartridge 
reloading tools, died on March 29 in Venice, Italy. He 
was born in Duckenfield, England, April 26, 1846, and 
came to this country when two years old. He enlisted 
in^ the army during the 'Civil War, and saw service at 
Richmond. 
Mr. Barlow was a born mechanic of an inventive turn 
of mind. He worked in the early ’70s at Parker’s shop 
in Meriden. Afterward he was employed for ten or 
twelve years as a contractor at Winchester’s. 
_ In 1884 he established the Ideal Manufacturing Co. 
This business was successfully carried on by Mr. Barlow 
until two years ago, when he sold out to the Marlin 
Fire Arms Company, and since then has been away 
from New Haven the greater part of the time. 
Mr. Barlow was married in April, 1874, to Ida E. 
Hubb.ard, of Haddam, who died Feb. 28, 1887. He is 
survived by three daughters. Miss Alpha Winifred, who 
is still in Italy; Mrs. Joseph A. Derby, of New Haven, 
and Mrs. Earl Brewster, and two grandchildren, John 
Barlow Derby and Rachel Derby. 
Mr. Barlow was a public-spirited, large-hearted, gen¬ 
erous man, beloved by all who knew him. He was in¬ 
terested in the welfare of New Haven. He was a 
member of the Civic Federation and of the Chamber of 
Commerce. He was a prominent Democrat, though he 
never desired to hold office. He was a Mason, a mem¬ 
ber of Meriden Center Lodge, also an honorary member 
of the New Haven Blues. 
Massachusetts Wins Intercollegiate. 
Washington, D. C., March 27.—Massachusetts Agri¬ 
cultural College, Amherst, Mass., for the second con¬ 
secutive year, has won the intercollegiate rifle shooting 
championship of the United States, having defeated all 
teams in the Eastern League and the State University 
of Iowa, winner of the Western League championship. 
The score of the championship match was 973 to 971. 
The special prize for the college not having a military 
department was won by Princeton University. Officials 
of the National Rifle Association of America, under 
the auspices of which the intercollegiate matches have 
been held, declare rifle shooting rapidly is becoming 
one of the recognized sports in the colleges throughout 
the country.

ACROSS THE PLAINS IN EARLY DAYS. 
Continued from page 432. 
mad to attempt to run, and he remained on the 
same ground, while he tried to kick the clouds 
out of the skjL Fortunately my cousin had a 
tub of lime water, resultant on mixing some 
whitewash, and watching his opportunity when 
Skee^ik came down from a rearward ascent, he 
showered a quantity of this upon the animal’s 
hind quarters. The neutralizing effects of the 
lime had a pacifying tendency, and a few minutes 
later Skeezik consented to have his burning 
flanks thoroughly bathed and seemed to appre¬ 
ciate the treatment. Never a handsome animal, 
Skeezik’s appearance was now positively horrify¬ 
ing. With his body and fore quarters covered 
with long drab hair, and his hams and flanks 
as bare as the back of one’s hand, he seemed 
an awful burlesque on some other animal. The 
most extravagant imagination would scarcely 
recognize a horse in what I ultimately saddled 
and rode away. But here he was closely analo¬ 
gous to the proverbial singed cat, for Skeezik 
was a hundred fold better than he looked. The 
incident effectually cured him of his habit of 
backing when bridled.
