FIRST DAY OF THE FALL MEETING OF THE Ma
TIoNAL RIFLE AssoCIATIoN-THE JUDD, SHORT
RANGE, GATLINa AND LAFIIN 4 RAND MATCHEs
Contrary to expectations the weather fine yes
terday and the rnemen who atte uded the opening OF
the fourth annual fall meeting Of the National Rife
Association had pretty good chance OF showing what
they could do in q spanking breeze with good light
In spite Of the announcement that shooting
begin nine O'Clock the grounds occupied
before that comparatively early hour by crowds
OF anxious rilemen, who fitted about with
their favorite weapon tucked under ono arm
and package Of ball cartridge ammunition
the other. The matches the pro-
grammo for the day the Judd Short Range, Cat
ling and Latin h Rand competitions. Three Of these
are individual contests and tho Calling match is
in which teams only can participate. In addition to-
these tho 6rst stage of tho Champion mach was set
down for half-past O'Clock the range. Uu-
der the efficient management of Major General John u.
Woodward, Mayor wylie Captain Storey aud Mr..
schcmcrhorn, things went smoothly, and no time
be lost in getting through with the several
competitions, and IN shifting the mon from range to
range occasion required. There not many
spectators on tho grounds and tho place presented
rather forsakcn leoking aspect which contras,ed
strongly with the crowded ranges and ami
mated appearance OF the field on last wednes-
day and Thursday. II was thought that the hurri-
cane which ragged with much violence In this city
Sunday, would have made ribbons of tho lines of
tents which pitched on the west side of the enclos-
urc. Nothing OF the Sort however, happened; ycstcr
day hnbitations appeared fresh and white
after the bleaching process which they had undergone
the day before Some OF them blown little out
OF tho perpendicular but with tho exception OF the
Irish team tent and provisional shooting gallery,
which latter lately been erected the others
aged TO keep from falling. Tho Irish team tent

the crowned harp OF Erin blue field, prone

Throughout the day there very strong breeze
blowing from the south southwest up tho ranges
small angle 10 the limo of fire. The sky was cloudy
and tho light good Considering the force OF the wind,
tho unprecedented Of Mr.. Fullgran, OF the
Twenty second regiment who made thirty -four out OF
possible thtrty-nve points, IS all the more remark
able.
