Portland, Me.—The Myles Standish Kifie Club, of 
>rtland, Me.. was organized in December, 1894, and 
e first winter s shooting was done at 45 ft. on an iron 
,rget counting up to 11 , the 11 shot bringing up a 
ick and ringing a bell; the holder of the highest ten 
ores for the winter was awarded a Winchester rifle, 
le following winter, 1895*9(1, two interclub matches 
*re shot and won; the season of 1897 was confined to 
JJery work, as was the seasons of 1S98 and 1899. In 
>0 a 75ft. range was secured, and the %in. Herman ring 
-get adopted. The first telegraph match was shot 
ring this year. Shooting and Fishing got up a six 
im tournament called the Myles Standish Kifie Club 
armament, which was won by the Columbia Club, of 
'Chester, N. Y., with the Standish club on the bottom. 
1901 proved a banner year for this club, inasmuch as 
: interclub matches were contested, of which the Myles 
indish club took four, lost one. and tied the other, 
'e season of 1902 was the beginning of pistol shooting 
a club, and the only interclub match obtainable this 
ir was tied. There were five interclub matches with 
rifle, three of which we won and lost the other two. 
ven matches with the rifle were shot during the season 
1903, five being won and two lost. Standish Club got 
lot ot work during the season of 1904. shooting nine 
erclub matches with the rifle, losing four; four pistol 
.tches were shot this year, losing three. 1905 the 
indish club went down to defeat but once, winning 
~ rifle matches and three pistol matches. 
’he season of 1906 was confined to gallery work but 
ring 1907 hand gun work was featured, and the match 
nmittee got busy. Seven matches were shot with the 
id gun, of which five were won by the Standish clubs, 
rifle matches were shot. 
,ast spring the old city range was secured by tbe 
les Standish club for a term of three years, and much 
■ded improvements were made under their direction 
prevent stray shots masks were put up a short dis¬ 
cs from the firing point and a shed built for the pro- 
tion of the hand gun enthusiasts. Three targets were 
abhshed at 600 and 500yds., and six targets at 300 and 
,yds , six targets were placed at 50yds. for the hand 
i division. 
•ast season for gallery work, a re-entry tournament was 
ugurated which proved so successful that another one 
; launched last November which is still in progress, 
comparatively new feature in this section was tbe 
nner of awarding prizes. Instead of giving the high 
d oil , e prizes, and to encourage the new* members, 
first four positions carry prizes: also prizes to the’ 
ii occupying middle position if odd number of entries 
■the leader of the last half if even number of entries- 
he three men following holder of middle position- to 
seventh man from the bottom and also to the fourth 
i from the bottom. This applies to both classes, and 
ast winter s tournament this manner of awarding prizes 
with instant favor. 
he re-entry tournament of this year has fourteen 
ks to run, and the scores are as follows:
