| From this exhibit the Irish team p1 omises to
| be really formidable. It must, however, ba re-
membered that, Wills the American scores were
made o.. the same dag, the 1ish scores represent
the best work a2ne By the competitors for q
riace on tho team ut differ ent periods. The con-
dltious under which the scores we're made easiiv
account for tho difference Of thirty points
which ia in favor Of the Irish team. In the COM
petition 10 which 3rr. Wilson made 2o3, Sir. Nc
kcnna n !de only 1877 points, which would reduce
tie total by tven!y-ono points. oa the other
hand, 1t is noticeable that the names OF Or.
Hamilton. 11r. RiGby, and Capt. Walker do not
appear among tue competitors for places. Should
they shoot Ia the present years. team, ireland
will be sp)o0djdgrepresented. and the Americans
will require to keop Rtea iy nerves md clear eyes
to preserve the 'aHrcls they won last year, It is
probable that tho Irish team will lie composed OF

John Mckenna e. Johnson, aud J. e. Pollock,
with Capt. Walker and Mr. Watcraouse as re-
