Although the weather was line ana the sport
goou hardly any visitors were on the grounds
otner than a lew immediate friends OF the con-
testants. Whether tins circumstance i 10 be at
triouted TO o decreasing interest IN rihe shooting,
on the part OF the New YORK pubic, or that the
distance Of the ranges, cost OF going and coming
and admission to the grounds are obstacles Is YET
an open question.
The arrangements about the grounds for the &C
commoaalon OF large influx OF marRsmcn and
visitors were very good. large bulletin board
was provided in front or the range-keeper's Office
for tie purpose OF posting announcements OF
shooting and the result Of matches. tent was

The match commenced at hali-past three O'Clock
and was finished up In about three-qnarters Of an
hour. IL will be seen that MaJJr Fulton Is the
winner, though to the uninitiated IL might seem
that Mr.. Sanlordis score Is the better one mas
much as he has no cutters In II.
