Each marker is provided with three dises, each 18 inches in diameter fastened upon a 
pole about eight feet long. One side of the disc is pointed, and the other has attached to 
it at right angles a sash brush charged with paint. When a shot strikes the target it 
makes a large star upon the point with which it is coated. The noise of the shot calls 
the attention of the marker (who is watching the target through a thick plate glass win- 
dow). He at once opens his trap and placing the proper disc over the shot mark, obliter- 
ates it with the brush, at the same time the color of the disc signals to the flrer the value 
and exact position of his shot, a white disc signifying a “bulls,” a red one, a ‘‘ centre,” and 
a black one, an ‘‘ outer.” 
The targets are divided into sets of five, each under the control of a Superintendent, a 
commanding officer having control of a similar number of firing points, both target and 
firing point being distinguished by a large number conspicuously displayed. If one of 
the latter officers has reasonable cause to belivee that during firing a hit had not been 
signalled at all, he * calls the target” upon the telegraph, by tapping its number. At 
once the danger flags were displayed at that and the three targets adjoining upon each 
side, (the firing at which at once stopped) and the Superintendent came and examied the 
tareet. If he foundit hit he signalled it, if not (as in nineteen times out of twenty was 
the case) he simply waived his hands and returned to his cover. : 
The management of the firing was under the control of the range officer, Captain 
George W. Wingate. Under his orders at the butts were twenty markers, (regulars from 
Willet’s Point engineers), and four superintendents, and at the firing points twenty score 
keepers, (men employed and paid by the Association), and four superintendents (volun- 
teers from the National Guard). He was expected to answer all questions, decide all 
disputes, and generally “‘to run the machine, ” and emphatically had his hands full: 
The headquarters department was under the direction of General John B. Woodward 
and a staff of clerks, and was managed with great efficiency. Each man upon entering 
for any match received a ticket having upon it his name and number. ; ) 
This he took to the proper firing point at the hour named, and presented it to the regis- 
ter keeper, who placed it ina tin frame with those belonging to the rest of the squad 
assigned him. When all was ready a cannon was fired. At this the markers retired to 
their butts and withdrew their danger flags. Atasecond gun the firing commeneed, the 
members of the squads being called by twos (unless using muzzle loaders, when they fired 
individually), who fired their shots alternately, until their score was completed. 
In some of the matches only military rifles were allowed; in others any rifle within the 
rules of the Association—7. ¢. not weighing over ten pounds, nor witha trigger under three 
pounds pull, nor with telescopic sights. In the latter class of matches almost every kind 
of rifle was used, from the elaborately sighted muzzle-loading Metford, used by the Cana- 
dians, to the Remington military rifle of the National Guardsmen, including the Reming- 
ton, Sharpe, Ballard, Allen, and other well known sporting rifles. Up to 500 yards, how- 
ever, it was astonishing to see how closely the military weapon kept up to the others. 
Thus in the final match (200 yards off-hand) with a military rifle, the winners’ scores 
were: W. Robertson, 16; J. T. B. Collins, 16;G. A. Strube, 16; Campbell Vail, Rich- 
ards, Gildersleeve, and Price each 15; while in the Sportsmen’s match, at the same dis- 
tance. with sporting rifles, the score was no greater, Schneelock, Robertson, Collins, Wa- 
terbury, and Anderson making 16, and Meserole and Backer 15. At 500 yards the high- 
est scores made with a military rifle, even out of a possible 28, Carmichael, 24; Strube, 23; 
Cocks, Hitchcock, Lockwood, Boehr, and Murphy, each 21; while the highest with a 
sporting rifle, at 500 yards, out of a possible 28, Richards and Yale, 26; Omand and Camp- 
bell, 25; Adam and Sanford, 23; Tolley and Anderson, 22, and Ready, 21. 
At the longer ranges the qualities of, the finer rifles of course gave them greater advan- 
tages. This match also demonstrated the great improvement that had been made in breech- 
loaders. The score at 800 and 1,000 yards showed but little difference between the breech- 
loading Rigby and Metford rifles, and the breech-loading Remington, Sharpe, and Maynard. 
Wednesday the.wind was high and ‘‘flawy,” and the off-hand shooting in consequence 
below the average. Toward the afternoon the wind moderated somewhat, and the shoot- 
ing improved in proportion. Thursday there was less wind, especially toward the after- 
noon, and the firing became very good, particularly in the All-comsrs match. 
The scene on Thursday was very inspiring. The long line of National Guardsmen in 
their bright uniforms, with the crowd of spectators, the white targets showing brightly 
against the green embankment, the beautiful weather, and the strains of the regular band 
from Willett’s Point, made the scene quite picturesque.

This score is not quite as high an average as might have been expected, but as the wind 
was blowing hard, and from all points of the compass, this probably accounted for the low 
score. Mr. A. Robertson, with 16, won the moose antlers presented by the FormsT AND
