THE AMERICAN SHOOTING.
hardly need TO say much about the shooting
OF the team, inasmuch as you have been informed
thereon by the cable day by daT. fulton was sue
eessfnl n carrying or the st. Leger sweepstak
and was selected by lady member as her knight
In the competition for the Albert prize. out did
not succeed IN carrying or the glittering trophy
and deposttng IL at the feet ofhis lady admirer In
case any OF Mr.. Fulton's lady friends should have
desire TO know WHO the lady is. may say that
she is an esteemed British matron, the lady OF a
certain Mr.. Gregory, the representative in the
camp OF Mr.. Steward the optician TO the Rine
Association, TO whom the HERALD Is under many
Obligations for assistance on the neld.
COLONEL GILDERsLREvE,
remarkable 10 say, was successful In scoring the
smallest score alApe competition Tor the Amer-
can Cup-an event which surprised many OF his
friends But he was not in q 1T condition TO shoot
ut the time; ne had been firing all the morning,
during pouring rain, and came up exhausted TO
the firing point Mr.. Canheld fired remarkably
well. making seven successive Quilts eyes in clos

DAKIN AND YALE.
All felt somewhat annoyed at not being per-
mitted TO fire side by side with the three teams
competing for the Elcho Shield; but think they
had particular desire to try their strength this
year with picked eight out OF the teams or the
three countries. correctly believing thar the Irish
victory was enough for one year; that they had
everything to lose and were not prepared to
compete with team OF eight. Fortunately the
Irish are the winners OF the Ecno Shield, so they
can virtually say that they have beaten Great
Britain, Tor we phiosopniZe tnus:-The Ameri-
cans beat the Irish at Doymount, the irish beat
the English and Scotch at Wimbledon conse
quently America beats the three teams. Unfor-
tunately the difference In counting the value OF
the shots at Dollymount and Wimbledon does not
enable US to MAKE comparisons of the shooting
THE NEW YORK HERALD IN THE CAMP.
But there was one Institution on the ground
with which no comparison could be Instituted by
the English press TO their own advantage. or
course We mean, with pardonable vanity, the NEW
YORK HERALD, whose method OF cabling the exact
position OF the snots to New York attracted great
attention, especially at the Lords and Commons
match and at tue contest Tor the American Cup.
The Standard OF Wednesday last says
Indeed, such is tue interest taken in the meet
ing IN America That, through the enterprise of the
NEW YORK HERALD. Its readers are furnlsned, rot
only with the scores the morning following the
event, but with actual diagrams or the various
targets which tine scores are made. This is
mauaaed IN u rather ingenious way The NEW
YORK HERALD people nave diagrams OF the targets
there Win sectional squares, eacn square bearing
a relative value as to the number OF points and
by a special Arrangement with the statistical de-
par ment the position or each shot on the target,
with the name or tue marKsman, Is teiegrapned
10 New York every day IN time TO admit not only
OF the publication OF tue individual scores, bat
have SAID, ofJac stnaile diagrams oil the targets
themselves.
The Times the day following has the following
very plImentary remarks
With regard TO tne American match 10 is some-
what curious to know that the readers OF this
mornings NEW YORK HERALD VIII be IN posses
SION or as much or even more information than we
have mere IN London. BY special system OF tele-
grapnya diagram OF each target nred at. with
eacn com etitorS tnlTty shots cal efully dis
tnguished, Will be found on the New YORK break
fast tables this morning The system Is AS ol-
lows:-Tne diagram mentioned above Is portloned
on into squares, each OF whicA Is numbered, and
duplicates OF ibis are prepared, the one being In
possession OF the marker, the other the HERALD'S
printing office; as each snot Is nred The number OF
the square IN which IL has struck Is at once sent
across tue Atlantic and ali that then remains to
be zone Is TO apportlon the shot 10 It's proper
place This practice was followed during tAe
match shooting at Duolln, and also during our
own Lorus and Commons match on Monday last.

Its somewhat remarkable coincidence that
at the time these were penned Lucian Adam, In q
speech before The Congress or Amerlcanists at
Nancy, In aludng to America and Americans
present, made honorable mention OF the part
played by The HERALD In discovery and investiga-
ton OF truth as one OF the marvels OF modern
times.
