TIE rARoET SHOOTING.
An unusually friendly feeling appeared
to exist between the competing shooting
teams on their arrival on the ground.
The day was fns and some excellent
scores were made. The targets used for
the general match are what 10 known as
the Massachusetts, target, and are sim
liar to those In use in shooting galleries
a regards couuting-a bullseys scoring
twelve ~points-but OF the same size Is
targets at former matches.
The prize Of $50. offered BY the Car
son Guard for the best score OF ten men
from each team. was won BY the Emmett
Guard, their SCORE being AIS points
Creedmoor or 89S points on the Mssss-
chusstts plan. The second prize ($25)
offered by the Carson Guard. which Wal
for the best Ave shots In Q team, exclu.
sivs OF the ten men competing for the
frst prize, was won by the Wsshipgtons.
they scoring 1872 points Crssdmoor or
S9s Massachusetts. Tho Carson Guard
did not ontss for either OF these price.
The scores OF the various guards for
the prizes offered BY the Turn.vsrsin
Society were a. follows:
Carson Guard ......@ l644
Emmett Guard.
Washington Guard. less
National Guard. 1900. $500. 1881
Tiger Guard. ..,..... 1851
Tho score Of the Carson Guard a.
awarded by the referees for 200 shots
was 1914 points. but when Il came to
count the target II vas found there were
2O2 shots on 1.-TWO more than they
were entitled to-snd 1881 points. so
their target was declared "foul" which
barred them from receiving Q prize.
The breathing OF the C~arsonitrs upon
hearing this decision was deep and hard
their curses likewise. As the matter
stands, the referees, who were Captain
F. @. Lord. Thomas Gallagher and Rich.
ard Peady. could do NO different. and
| the Carson team are either the sufferers
| by Q mistake or the victims OF q wsll.ex.
scuted bulldosing plot, and they are
inclined to the latter belief. The only
way the bulldosing could have been &C.
complishsd was for . member OF another
company to FIRE into the Carson target.
and the shot not be detected by the
markers. Firing into wrong targets has
been done quite often BY mistake, but
never escaped detection heretofore, and
consequently the members Of the injured
team are OF the opinion that the shots
we're fred into their target deliberately
and at the sams time enc Of their men
shot thus Misleading the marker. The
true aide Of the affair will doubtless
never DO established to the satisfaction
Of all. The Csrsonites now have the
sympathy Of the militia Of the Comstock, |
who consider them simply unfortunate
In not having their target aud themselves
protected from imposition.
NOTES.
