RIFLE SHOOTING.

There has of late years been gradually de-
veloping not only in the United States but in
Great Britain fondness for rifle shooting,
which has been remarkable not only for the
rapidity with which it has taken hold upon
the popular fancy, but for the intense earnest
ness with which the lovers of the sport enter
into its pleasures and requirements. Here,
in our own city, within the past three years,
several new clubs have been formed, and the
fact has been ascertained that even with the
comparatively small amount of practice which
they have had, our crack shots are entitled
to prominent position among the best in
this country.
Ireland is noted for its splendid Rifle
Team, and now England is forming one to
compete with her neighbor and her friends
over tile cheering Iond." There will soon
be q grand International Rifle contest in
Ireland. at which the United States will be |
ably represented bya special team of rifiemen |
lately selected in New York. The champion
ship is now held by the United States, but
report has it that they will need all their
ability to withhold it from the boys of the
Emerald Isle.
The New Orleans Rife Club will give a
Grand Prize Shooting Festival at the Magno-
liza Shooting Park, beginning on Sunday, May
30, and lasting for three days. The park will
be open to the general public on Sunday,
but on the other days special invitations are
required.
This amusement of rifle shooting is very
admirable one, not only for the sport it
Affords but the practical benefits which are
seem to result from it. 1t is we'll to know {
that we have many splendid marksmen, not
entirely as matter of pride, but for
the consciousness that should they ever
be needed, they are ready and able.
Then there is the splendid and beneficial 4
physical exercise resulting from frequent :
handling and firing of rifle, which is one
plea from the hygienic side Of the sport. Let Il
us by all means encourage this sport, and :
who knows but that New Orleans may not yet
hold leading position among the crack rifle
men Of the day.
The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1875-05-28

We don't mind having to put our own fare
into the street car boxes, nor do we mind
obliging lady By getting her change for her
and settling her indebtedness to the company,
but when one has to get up from his place to
hand lady's fare, and is conscious of the
fact that half dozen expectant individuals
are just waiting for chance to take posses
sion OF his seat, his politeness is put to a
severe test before he concludes to oblige the
lady and risk his seat. Either the railroad
companies should provide conductors for their
cars, or they should adopt the easier and oft
suggested alternative of admitting to the cars
only those for whom they can provide seats.

VILLAlNOUS MAN TRAPS.

Editor of the Bulletin
In my frequent peregrinations through the
streets Of our city, have observed all sorts
and styles of man traps-some (no reflections
intended) gotten up in gorgeous array, abso-
lutely tempting, and others not quite SO seduc-
tive, but equally injurious in one sense of the
word, physically if not mentally too. The
trap I allude to, however, is one which can
be made by any one, from lisping two year
old babe Tor its nurse, just as bad), to the
three-score and ten pater or mater, regardless
of race, color or previous, ETC., as neither,
separately, have anything to do with the sub
ject It is so simple, only q cast-away banana
peel. So simple, yet so very effective-lke
sheet of ice to the inexperienced skater, is
that banana peel to the unwary pedestrian.
When the banquette suddenly loses its solid
and supposed secure position, and, with
spasmodic sportiveness, attempts miraculous
flight to the skies and is only arrested in its
upheaval by the occipital prominence of
somebody's d-phantasmatoscophia don't
"fill the BILL" Scientists tell us that this
elaboration of the sense of sight depends on
q slight opacity in the transparent parts of the
eye," but am READY to join issue with the
learned medico-physiologica authorities.
Nor is it SO very often "idiopathic," nor
symptomatic and of no consequence" but, !
in our day, and in this city, essentially SYM
pathetic. cOncussion does the business.
Now, my friend, Mr. Editor, jesting aside,
why can not the police, whose pleasant duty
it is to see Tor not to see) everything on our
streets, agreeable or Objectionable, conducive
or non-conducive to public health and the
general welfare Of our mixed and variegated
Eyes, that's a good adjective!D population,
more frequentlyihave an eye open to the objec-
trap in human features.
/ am bold to assert and, sir, without fear of
there have been more genuine,
matter-of-fact skeers on the
streets of this city, causing thoughts to be
loudly and emphatically expressed before the
''sober second thought" could shape itself,
Than any city on this continent just by the care
less habit of everybody dropping banana peels =,
svery and any where-and strange to say peo-
pie will step on them and slip down. To remove I
ruit Feelings, or any other soft or slippery !
from the banquette would not con-
yey the idea that the policeman was a scaven-
,er OBSERVER. s
The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1875-05-28

As examples of perfect non-committals we
point triumphantly to the Park Commission
ers of our city. Question them as you may
about what they have done, what they
are doing, or what they propose to do,
you need not expect to get positive
and satisfactory answer. No doubt, they are
working for the good of the Park and the
people, but the former does not appear to have
been much improved by their labors or the
latter much better informed as to the advan-
tage they are deriving from the annual pay
ment of a burdensome park tax. We hope
some day these efficient financiers will deign
to advise us of their workings and the prob
able results.
