Providence Revolver Club. 
The following scores were made in the challenge cup 
match, April 23; 30 shots per man at 20yds., Standard 
target, revolvers allowed 2 points per ten-shot string 
over target pistols: 
Arno Argus, .45 new service military.85 93 S4-(-6—268 
\V B Gardiner, .22 pistol.83 81 79 —243 
Lieut H C Miller, .44 new service.79 83 66+6—234 
Several of the regulars were absent from this shoot, 
and although quite a few of the less experienced men 
entered the match, the high scores of our “cannon man’’ 
drowned their attempts, and they begged to be excused 
from turning in the totals. 
This makes the second time Argus has taken away 
the cup, and if he keeps up his present gait it looks as 
though his would be the first name to be engraved there¬ 
on. Six more holdings will settle this point. 
The following scores were shot in practice this week: 
Fifty yards, standard target: Wm. Almy, pistol, 87, 87, 
96, 88 , 88-446; B. Norman, pistol 82, 83, 84. 
Twenty yards: Almy, pistol, * 88 , 88 , 91, 91, 93. 
*Scores shot outdoors. 
We note by the report of the National Rifle Associa¬ 
tion just out we are classed with those who did not 
conform to the rules. We feel that a little explanation 
should have been made in the report, and not have it 
appear that we did not make an effort to shoot, or did 
not shoot as far as we did strictly under the required 
conditions. We had nine entries. The competition was 
held late in the fall, with a gale of wind and a deluge 
of rain. Not being favored with the use of a military 
range, we traveled twenty miles, had one target, with a 
marker to run up and spot each shot as fired. Shooting 
was under nasty conditions, and necessarily slow. We 
finished at 200 and 300yds., and called the match off, as 
we were not able to see the bullseye at 500 on account of 
darkness. Every man shot a Krag, Springfield .30 or 
N. R. A. musket. Full detailed scores appeared shortly 
after the match. 
If a few civilians will show enthusiasm enough to shoot 
in a match under these circumstances, it is like lemon 
handing not to have a reason noted for their not being 
in the showdown.
