established 1802 Wilmington, Delaware 
eluded on April 5, with the total score of 246 out of a 
possible 250 for the ten days. 
The event brought out a large field, and the tournament 
was closely contested, many high scores being recorded. 
Two events were on the program, consisting of five 
strings of 25 shots in gToups of five on a 550yd. range, 
and the other of the same amount of shots on a i5yd. 
r3 On C the first range the victor turned in a complete 
score of 25 clean breaks on each of his five times at the 
range, which netted him a total of 125, and at the longer 
target he missed only four shots, making a clean sweep 
in the fourth string, while he missed only one on each 
of the first, second, third and fifth times at the range, 
making a total of 121, or an aggregate score of 246. 
So close was the competition that the winner was 
only victorious over Capt. Charles A. Brown, who fin- 
ished second, by a single shot, and Sergt. b. b. 1 um- 
bridge finished third with a score of 242. The scores: 
Corp C H K Blauvelt. 49 49 49 50 49-246

Cincinnati Police Revolver Club. 
The fourth, and as it proved, the last of the series of 
matches for the Roll-Crawford-Brandemour trophy was 
held on the City Hall range, April 7. The attendance 
was the smallest in the history of the club, only four 
members shooting their score. Posey L. Curbs was hig 
man, and this win. his third, gave him the trophy and 
ended the series. In the slow fire rounds Major Caroll 
was high man with 148, but Curbs got the best in the 
rapid fire and finished 5 points to the good with a total 
of 174 to Carroll’s 169. Ruck, one of the best shots in 
the club, was not in as good form as usual; his shots 
were well bunched, but with two or three exceptions 
were low. He was second high in the rapid fire, but his 
total was 25 points below that of the match m March. 
Curbs’ total was the same as the one he made in the 
previous match, but his rapid fire round was much better. 
It is hoped that the club will be able to enter a tea™ 
in the Camp Perry matches this fall, but nothing definite 
has been decided as yet.

Philadelphia Rifle Association. 
Philadelphia, Pa., April 8—The weekly competitions 
of this Association were shot to-day on the Arlington 
range, Lansdowne avenue and Cedar lane, near Llanerch, 
Pa. In spite of the bad weather, five members showed 
up and considerable shooting was done. An interesting 
feature of the day was the introduction of a new match 
for cups, called the Brochmeyer match. Mr. Broch- 
meyer, a member of the club, having generously donated 
a fund for the purpose. It consists of a first, second and 
third (novice) match in military shooting at 200yds.; 
Schuetzen at 200yds., and both revolver and pistol at 
50yds. Any one who has won a first or second prize in 
any of the regular matches in these events, is barred from 
the novice match, in order to give new members a 
chance. These matches will certainly arouse interest and 
will be a benefit to the club as well as the individual 
members.

Davis 127, 109; Williamson, 215, 201.
