To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
In the HERALD of this morning you publish a
challenge from Mr.. Rigby proposing TO test the
merits of the breech-loading rines used by the
American team as compared with the Rigby
muzze-loader by four or five men on each side
firing 100 shots at 1000 yards, at Creedmoor, on
Saturday next, without cleaning.
The letter Is hardly addressed to the Amateur
Rife Club, but at the same time your editorial In
regard to 1t makes it perhaps proper that should
take some notice OF It,
The preparations and practice for the interna-
tional match which has just been concluded have
required good deal OF time and attention from
both the members OF the team and myself. NOW
that 1t Is over we are overwhelmed with our pri-
vate business, and 1t Is utterly impossible for us
to take up anything that looks ike another match.
For my own part ] think 1t is very douotiut
ness be even able TO visit Creedmoor during the
important matches which are taking place during
the present week, and think several OF the team
are similarly situated. would suggest TO Mr..
Rigby that the only way to test the r1es Will be
by hrlng them from q fixed rest, winch can be
ing no interest IN our rife would hardly go into
trial OF guns, even II It's members could spare the
time to do so.
In regard TO the challenge rom Major Leech 10
shoot return match in Dublin in June nexf,
WHICH Is puDHsieu Ia we saile issue ol tne
HERALD, the disposition among such OF the Ameri-
can team and members OF the club as l have seen
since 1t was announced, Is strongly in iavor OF
ceptng II. The expenses OF sucn an undertaking
WILL however, be very great ana will PROBABLY
form the main obstacle to the matter being earned
to a successful conclusion II this can be arranged
/ think 1t Is very possible that team NAV be had
to cross the ocean to shoot the return match, and
who, II they may not succeed In bearing on the
palm CT victory, would endeavor to bear their de-
leat with the same magnanimous spirit which has
been displayed Dy our irish friends The question,
however serious considerations
that 1t VIII be some time before any lorna, action
can be taken in the matter by the club. Very re-
spectiuly yours, GEORGE W. WINGATE,
