The attendance ut the Crescent City Rifle Par
yesterday was much larger than on any previous
practice day since the team began its practice
shooting as such, and as usual the scores made
were up to the standard, though not as good by

Eyrioh, ~ will be seen, led tho score, making a
total of 2O5 in possible 225 aud at tho 900 yard
score lacked but three points Of putting in fifteen

idea of
GETTING AWAY WITH THE TEAM.
Consequently, whom at the l000-yard score
he dropped in his usual goose egg.
Col. John Glynn was next in the high figures,
he putting in ten bulls eyes at tho 800, nine at
the 900, and ten at tho 1000 yard range, with q
new Sharp's rifle and factory ammunition.
Hepaud came next with o total of 1876, and was
followed by Major Arms, who got in eleven bulls
eyes ut the B00-yard range, scoring there 10, his
hrse with Renaud and Glvnn marking 4, and
Eyrioh's first bulls eye. In this connection IL
will be seen that Eyrich started in with
