Our British BretherM Handsomely.
CREEDMOoR, September 1.-THE appear
ance of the range, to-day, does not differ
from the opening scene OF Yesterday, only
in so far as there is brighter sun and a
hotter atmosphere. About the same num-
Der of people, 1900, are present, and the ar
rangemen;s for feeding them and those to
come, do not differ from yesterday, when
fully tlree-fourths wish to get anything to
eat. In consequence of a great deal Of
liquor drank, several rows marked the fes-
Invites, in which two or three policemen
participated as principals Owing to
this circumstance the personnel of the police
detachment is somewhat changed. At five
minutes before II o'clock the American
team left their tent, for the range, looking
confident, and at lilo their Captain Da-
kin, opened. as yesterday. The Captain
Is SOMEWHAT OF A FAvoRITE
and there were expressions that he would
not repeat his conduct, on the initial day
of the match, and make his friends at the
finish of the contest look for his score at
the tail end OF the record.
AT HALF PAST ELEVEN
the British team began firing, Rigby repeat
ing his performance of yesterday, making
5. The American team closed their inning
at 800 yards range with the brilliant aggre-

the difference in the style of shooting. The
Americans have now, barring accidents,
SAFE LEAD

contest The British team in the eight
hundred. yard range made the best score of
ever made by them. Lunch followed the
shooting, and at two o'clock the signal gun
for the nine hundred yard range was fired
Dakin led off with bulls eve, followed by
Halford of the British team with like
score. About six thousand people were
present and the greatest good humor pre-
walls. OF the British team Sir Henry Hal
ford appeared to be the fayorite. He made
the remark, "Well, il We are beaten, We are
not ashamed to be beaten by such a mag
nihcent set Of men as compose the Ameri-
can team" The betting now changed from
betting on the result, to wagers on the num-
