THE GREAT RIFLE CONTEST.
From the Scotsman.l

The NEW YORK HERALD with that enterprise
and ingenuity which command the admiration OF
all. has by a series Of diagrams presented the
days work OF the contestants very clearly to the
public. These diagrams show the closeness OF the
struggle. They reveal the wonderful skill and
ability OF the men on both sides. They show the
valuable results that are gained BY earnest appi-
cation IN one direction That so many bnIls' eyes
and shots within the board should have been made
by the nternationals at such enor nous distances
as 800, 900 and 1000 yards is evidence of the per-
fection to which In our day rihe shooting has at
tained. That the result OF the contest should
depend upon the last shot, and that from the
Americans who were second in the order OF firing,
shows that the art OF rifle shooting has received
equal attention on both sides OF the Atlantic.
