BIG WIND AND BrG SCORES.

First Days shooting of the Crescent City
'Aream.'
The fact that Messrs. Glynn, Arms, Selph and
Eyrich have made the largest averages in the
eight practice trials for positions on the team for
the Interstate Match, places those gentlemen
in the position Of representatives from the city
and State at the ma tch to be shot ut Creedmoor
on September 10.
This having been decided, The gentlemen
named began yesterday the first
PRACTICE TEAM SHOOTING
as q team, and, as will be seen, made handsome
score, even though the wind was strong and
variable in direction, and the light difficult,
changing from cloudy to sunshine even while
the shooters were sighting their guns o. the
targets.
II will be observed that at the 900.y yard score
Col. Glynn made "a out Of possible rs, and
made 10 at the SO0-yard target, Major Arms
scoring rs at the 800 and 10 at the 9OOysrd target.
Mr.. Seph also scored 10 at the 800 and Mr..
Eyrich the same number at the 300 yard target,
which, considering yesterdays
WIND AND LIGHT,
is extraordinary, the grand total Oh the team
being 800 out OF 3 possible 900.
The following is the score:

And It seems too real TO Je a dream.

When o'cr the hill and I0Wn the stream
Come tender tones from The old church bell
