The Americans commenced shooting at
$50 o'clock, when q very light breeze pre-
vailed. Rockwell shoots in place of Farrow,
who had dispute about the choice of prize

and although Hyde offered to let him have

The dispute between Farrow and Hyde
grew out of tie in the third scores of extra
prizes. When the tie might have been shot
off Hyde's gun had broken down. The COM
petitors had arranged among themselves
who should take the various prizes when
Farrow was not in camp, and Hyde started
for him, but Farrow was not satisfied with
the selection.
Rockwell only knew he had to shoot at the
last moment. When the possibility of his
shooting arose last night he had no time to
compare the sighting of his gun with others
and had to commence with borrowed gun
which others of the team had roughly COM
pared at the pool last night.
The team is very hot against Farrow and
a resolution to 90 on without him was to the
effect that the team preferred to be beaten
hes. MI
circu instances. Brown offered this morn
ing, before: the shooting,s to pay the
difference between the value of the prize
selected for him in the extra prizes and one
which he wished to have, but he still re-
NAMED obdurate. Gen. Hawley has not
been here, 80 far.
Rockwell failed to count on the fourth and
fifth shots at the 900 range and went off to
change his rifle. On returning he caught
another blank. His succeeding shots
counted alternately four and five until the
fourteenth, when he scored three instead of
five.
Hyde, who organized the team, captured
blank on his tenth shot.
Sir Henry Halford, after the closing shot
had been fired, announced the result as the
first time the English had ever gained
victory over the Americans. Frank Hyde,
in replying, said it was grand victory for
the Americans, for it had taught the Eng
fish team to discard the old muzzls leaders.
The Americans had also taught them to
shoot as team and not on their individual
merits. Farrow's presence, he said, might
not have altered the result, but coward is
better away from any kind of fight. He
thanked the English rihemen for their recep-
ton of the Americans, and said he hoped
to meet them again under favorable au-
spices.
The match closed at about 4;45 P. NJ.
