The Second Days Shooting at CrcedmoOr.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The second day of the annual fall meeting at Creedmoor was de- voted mainly to military matches pie turesque scene was presented as the long lines of tents poured forth their contents clad in the many colored uniforms of the militia of the several States commingling with Uncle Sam's regulars. Dull, sodden clouds dis charging at intervals chilling showers fur nished an atmosphere favorable for shooting,
 but the wind was fitfu1 and embarrassing and imposed severe strain upon the skill of the marksmen. The Military Team match began at o'clock, with seventeen entries, open to teams of five from militia organizations and the regular army, standing positions, seven shots per man at 200 yards. Company B, of the United States engineers, with a score of 145, carried of the first prize, an embroid- cred flag, which has now been held four years by the engineer battalion. The second and third prizes were won by the teams of Go. B, Fifty-first regiment, N. Y., and O. A, United
 States engineers, scored 136 and 137. The most exciting event of to-day was the New
 York State match, which brought out the picked military of the State. Seventeen teams entered, oacn numD6rlHS utbooA meA. Five shots per man were allowed at 200 and 500 yards. The trophy was captured by the Thirty fifth battalion of Watertown with an aggregate score of 476 points The other three prizes were also secured by the coun- try boys as follows: Forty eighth regiment (Oswego,) 47O, the Fifty-frst (Syracuse,) 456, and the Twelfth separate company (Bipg- hamton,) 455. It the. State Cavalry match there were two entries. Troop c, Yates dragons, of Syracuse, and Separate Troop B of Harlem each took prize with respective scores of 167 and IT, The First D ivision match was won by the Seventh New York regiment team with a handsome aggregate of 479, three points more than sufficed to win the State prize few hours before. For the short range team match there were sixteen entries, each comprising four competitors, firing sev- en shots at 200 and 300 yards. The score cards of a couple of these teams had not been turned in when the last train was leaving Creedmoor, but the first place, was certain ly taken by the Empire club with 226, the second by the Massachusetts club with an in- ferior 226, and the third by the Pennsylvania club with 223. The first stage of the military championship match, shot at POO, 500 and 600 yards, resulted in producing six scores of 89, each of which according to Creedmoor rules place the contestants in the following order; Bernard, Glen, Homan, Clay, Quin-

The Massachusetts Republicans = The
 State Convention Nomination of a
 State Ticket and Electors.
 WORCESTER, Mass, Sept. 15.-The Repub- ican State convention was called to order at State Central Committee, and MT. Stone was made temporary chairman. He made short speech on taking the chair, referring to the united stand of the South on all political questions, making all subordinate to the per manent question how again to secure control of the government. The committee on per manent organization reported President Chadbourne of Williams College, as perma- nent chairman. The address of MT. Chad bourne occupied forty minutes and was ire quently applauded. pr. H. B. Blackwell, of Boston, offered the following resolution, which was referred to the committee on reso- Iutions without debate:'
 Resolved, That the Republicans of Massa- chusetts, having established school suffrage for women, desire that the right should be fully and freely exercised in the interest of the public schools, and for the promotion of that object we cordially invite all women who are legal voters to attend the csucuses for the nomination of school committees and to help select the w1Sest and most efficient can- didates irrespective of sex.
 The committee on credentials reported that 241 cities and towns were represented by 811 delegates. MT. H. H. Faxson, of Quincy, said that, having been defeated as delegate, he had received the credentials of two dele pates one temperance man and one 8 man who occasionally takes something. When Mr. Faxson had got thus far he was called to order The point made was that the gentle man was not talking to any motion The chair decided the point well taken, when MT. Faxson, with the remark, 'tYou don't do it this tine,'' offered the following resolution, moving that it be adopted without reference to the committee on resolutions:
 Resolved, That the Republicans of Mas saehusetts welcome back into their ranks the third party prohibitionists, assuring them and ali others who sympathize in the cause of temperance and prohibition that in the fu- ture the Republican party will do all in it's power to enact laws, with vigorous enforcing powers which shall sweep from the Old Bay State the accursed traffic in intoxicating hq- uors as a beverage, and thus remove one of the greatest evils in the land.
 On motion of MT. George G. Crocker, of Boston, it was voted that all resolutions in- volving questions of party principle be re- ferred without debate.
 William Clafin, of Newton, moved the renomination of Governor Long by accla- nation which was carried with cheers Son ator Davis moved the renomination of Hon. Byron West for Lieutenant Governor, which was unanimously adopted. General A. B.

Republican Prospects in the South

NEW YORK, Sept 15.-Thomas B. Keogh of North Carolina, in an interview said the Republican campaign in North Carolina was advancing very prosperously, and he believed that with fair count the result in North Carolina will be as much of surprise to both parties as the election in Maine on Monday was: The shoe will be on the other foot, however Keogh has just returned from Florida, the vote of which State he thinks will be given for Garfield and Arthur Mir. Keogh does not think the result in Maine will have any effect upon Republican voters in the South, for it cannot be regarded as Demo- cratic victory, where two-thirds of the votes were cast by Greenbackers.
