| GENTLEMEN: We seud YOU an exhibit
OF the rifle match that took place here some
weeks SINE. We were anxious to have
sent II sooner, but some of the boys here
would mol have 1t published until the match
came off at Winchester. Our match was
largely attended by spectators, but by only
few msIksmen.
The shooting was splendid-nothing in
the annals of craftsmanship can beat It,
The first days match was not SO very good
the wire edge had TO he taken of on tina,
day. Distance Of the match 100 yards
The number of entries the first day we're
ten. Only three Of the matches were good.
Mr.. Murray, of Spencer, the winner, made
his match IN 2 Lie inches from centre.
+. Il. Matln, OF Spencer, in 2 3i6 from
centre. Edward Swan, of Spencer, in 2
3 : inches. The Other matches varying
%, - and inches.
A binter was made on Monday evening,
by John Brown, Jr., and Mr.. Riser, of Mel.
son, aud Messrs. Talbot and Newland, Of
iS'uiNNttiff w ohpbt i'' NdihS dEhlb" itui
Spencer boys the next morning, for 500
side-lhe two best matches to take the mo.
ney. The match came of on Tuesday
morning, aud we defy the world TO show
such shooting as was made on that match.
The tWo conlendIng shots on each side
we're -
" lIlam Polk aud A. W. Calvert, Of
Speucrr-John Row an, Jr.. OF Nelson, and
