THE POST OFFICE.

THE BAD LIGHT AND VENTILATION NOT YET
COMPLETELY REMEDRD-THE FAST POSTAL
TRAIN
The HERALDs loud note of warning regarding the
wretched ventilation and the bad light portions of the
Post Office to have been productive of much
good TO the suffering employees Since the article in
question appeared in these columns the architect has
caused four openings to be into the ventiating
shafts which, by of the strong suction from above
will carry away much of the foul air generated in that
baking called the basement Of the Post Office. Mr.
Pearson the Assistant Postmaster says that fresh air
is to be supplied through openings which to be
made in the of the Post Office (where the mail
wagons are usually backed ups but the employees think
that that will give very insufficient ventilation and
that more radical remedies required. Although the
atmosphere is somewhat better than it last week
before the HERALD's protest 1t is still far from being
fresh and pure On Saturday last not less than four
men 1.-THE foreman OF the porters Mr. Grain, being
among the number) carried fainting; and un-
less the ventilation is greatly improved the employees
say this can happen again any day.
There are still many bitter complaints about the light
ing of the mems working ROOM q" They could have
given gas right the counters by carrying the
pipe right under the door" said employee yester-
day, land it would not have cost them $780, and
here they have spent thousands in finishing all the
closets in the most highly polished marble and in
style which reminds one of the extravaganza of Monte
from the bad light and the condition of his eyes
tany seemed TO bear out his statement And thus it
will be seen, this 'palace" of letters like many Others
contains much suffering behind its magnificent walls

SECOND COMPETITION FOR PLACES on THE NEXT
AMERIcAN RIFLE TEAM

SECOND COMPETITION FOR PLACES ON THE NEXT
AMERICAN RIFLE TEAM.
The second competition for places on the American
rifle team who are to shoot against the Canadians on
the 10Th inst came OF yesterday at Creedmoor The
weather was splendid and the conditions Of light and
atmosphere favorable to good practice but that most
inconstant Of all the elements the wind was however
not strong very variable the marksmen were, in
consequence, frequently fault the important matter
of allowing just the right amount Of lateral detection
the wind gauges, The breeze came from the west in
the forenoon but toward the close of the match hauled
round TO nearly due south southwest and finally lued
down good deal There were ten entries in the COM
petition nearly all men well known at Creedmoor Mr.
Jewell, who heads the list with a Of 175 points,
has lost nothing Of the fine practice which last spring
gave him good chance for place the American
national team Mr. Roux takes place with ia
and Mr. Garfield the third with a score Of l72 points
The highest score made yesterday shows falling of Of
thirteen points as compared with Mr. Canfed's record
on Saturday last, when he the BULBS Eye Badge
and made an aggregate record of 1ss points.
One two gentlemen attributed the poorness of their
yesterday the smalness of the charges used
by them. They claim that the long range store cart
ridge for the Remington gun does not contain
than eighty five or ninety grains of powder, while Is
supposed TO hold ninety1ve They think that the gun
burn at least 105 grains with the best results ON
the other hand, appears from series of careful
periments now being conducted by a well known rifle
man that with ll5 grain charge he gets better
suit than when burning no From these facts would
appear that ninety grams are too small charge for tho
weight of lead used in the Remington rifle, and
115 grains too much. The medium charge 200
grainsl will probably be found the best for
careful practice Another matter also attracting
some attention. il is that OF graduating the
apertures open bead caliper sights and front disks
in proportion to the distances from which they have to
be used solid bead is Of all other front sights the
worst to When the marksman covers the BULBS
eye with it two black surfaces-the mark and the
sight-come together, and he who aims is not of
the spot the surface OF the bulbs eye that he is aim
ing The pierced bead is the best the caliper sight
next and the split disk takes the third place in point Of
merit as a front sight The following is the scores-
