AMERICAN RIFL ES AND RIFLE
MEN AT WIN BLEDON.
(From the N. Y, Hsrald)

After a spirited contest Major Fulton
has won the cup offered for competition
to the American rihemen by the Council
of the British National Rife Association.
The cup does not become his property,
but he will have the honour of conveying
it to America, where it is, to be shot for
on terms to be decided by the Council
of the American National IRi1e Associa-
ton. The scores made by our riAenen
were remarkably good and excited general
admiration. We have the more reason to
be proud of this result because three mem
bers of the team proper did not take part
in the competition, their place being
taken by three members of the reserve,
who did good work. Mr.. Garfield, Jr.,
pushed Major Fulton very hard and defeat
ed both Colonel Gildersleeve and Mr..
Coleman. The shooting for this cup was
q severe test of craftsmanship. Each con-
testant had to fire thirty shots, and the
distance selected was the one at which, it
was thought the American riaemen were
least expert. The splendid scores piled up
were, however,'8 corrective to the opinion
that the Americans were weak at the
thousand yards. The shooting on We'd
nesday also exploded the notion that
breech-loaders, except when loaded at the
muzzle, were not equal to British muzzle-
leaders in accuracy. On account of this
mistaken idea q rule was this year made
at Wimbledon compelling breech-loaders
to be loaded from the breech. This rule
was specially aimed at Major Fulton,
whose accurate shooting was ia great part
ascribed to the mysterious effects supposed
to be produced by loading bis rife az The
muzzle. A glance at the splendid target
he made Wednesday will show the aun-
soundness of this idea. Nineteen bnll's-
eyes out of thirty shots bear witness, to
the splendid accuracy of the1eAmerican
b~reech-loading arms which have proved
their superiority over the cherished old
fashioned muzzle- loader as completely As
did the men who used them over their
competitors. One of the first effects gof
the shooting at Wimbledon and Dolly.
mount will be the abandonment of the
mu~zzle-loader as a target rife The
breech-loader has SO many obvious advan-
tages over the older systems thatiH viii
be impossible for the most obstinate. I'D
deny its superiority now that it has been
conclusively shown to possess the greatest
possible accuracy at the longest ranges

1t is not necessary to adduce any prophetic
wisdom as to anticipate results of the forth
coming week or two, for the impression as
settled down now amongst US is sufficient for

Enough said now; We understand each

Let Us do our duty as men. Let Us have
an equitable, fair and reasonable assessment;

pine, rated higher in every instance than

be all right, notwithstanding all this severe

Let us resolve that with regard to affairs for

that occasionally will obtrude themselves
upon us with their noise and impudence They

This section Of Wisconsin, is lot
the favorite of the populated por-
ton of the State. The old La
Crosse Company, under the man
agement of Byron Kilbourn, gave
us deadly stroke fifteen Years ago,
from which we have not yet, nor
will have not f,,r years To come,
recovered. Since that blow. the
Wisconsin Central, by men of in
tegrity, has made material progress
under most trying circumstances;
the original land grant was cxemted
taxation for ten wears, but The Hctice
company which has constructed two
hundred and tifty miles Of road
daring the latter quarter of the ten
years, with all the efficient aid OF
our Senator and Representative,
has failed to get further exemption
But honest men, by pc. si>tent ac-
ton, achieve snre results, and their
integrity will work some progress
the c"ming season.
But Kilbourn vilAiny nor Cooke
failures can STAY the sure advance
of internal Improvement any more
than local FORBADE does the growth

English lady 102 years old. She ap-
peared to be in excellent health, and
was well cared for by relative who ac-

England to the Pacific Coast. At the
time of her birth the United States

many months to reach the Pacific
coast from Europe as it does days at

FINE VEGETADLEs.-A lot of veg

ranch. on the Big Meadows, consigned
to General Harris, arrived at the depot
last evening. They are intended for
exhibition at the Fair. and consists
of potatoes, beets, and stalk of old
Virginia tobacco, about thirty inches
in hight. Some vegetables from Sam.
Strieff's ranch, near Unionville, also
arrived, among them a squash which
weighs 10S pounds. There will un-
doubtedly be fine display of veg
etables from other ranches at the Fair,
enough, at least, to satisfy those unac-
quainted with Humboldt productions,
that in the vegetable line it will com
pare favorably with any place.

AN OVERLOOKED PAssENGER.-In going
through the cars, attending to the
duties of his position, on his last
eastern trip, conductor Hopkins found
a wallet, which appeared to be well
filled with money. He put it in safe
place and awaited results. In less
than an hour from the time he found
it, an excited passenger was rushing
through the car asking if anybody had
found pockage containing about
$4,000. Not finding anybody to answer
his question in the affirmative, he
sought the conductor and asked him to
search the car and the passengers for
his treasure. The conductor asked
him to describe what he had lost, and
upon his doing SO, in a manner that
satisfied him that he was the owner,
the conductor handed him the wallet,
which he examined and found all
right. He then offered the conductor
800, which that gentleman refused,
and the passenger went on his way
rejoicing.
