This afternoon there met in the parlors
OF the New York hotel, in solemn conclave,
party of seventy five gentlemen known
| as the New York press association. The
mem ers are the editors of the various
newspapers published in the state. After
little preliminary business such as elect
ing officers and defauting cashiers. which
| apropos is hardly necessary as all the gen.
tlcmen carry railroad passes and meal
ticket, none OF them found it necessary to
trust the association with any money in
the shape of dues-however, they are
usually well supplied with bonds lot affec-
tion) not negotiable in Wall street.
Letters of regret from U. S. Grant,
George William Curtis and n. H. Hotch-
ISIS were read. Green apples are not yet
out so the cause Of absence OF the aforesaid
gentlemen remains unexplained; after this
the editors were supplied singly and
collectively with free tickets for the Madi-
son Square Theatre, where Chauncy Depew
addressed them in fitting Grafton, after

will be free on board-count me inland Ii
is hoped that the gentlemen will have
pleasant time during their stay, many OF
them have brought their wives and fami-
lies.
The rifle team left on the Guion steamer
Alaska to-day for England. A liklier set
of men to meet the British cracks at VIM
bleton could scarcely be found. Old Reli-
able Colonel Bodine) was seated in Judge
Gildersleeve's courtroom enjoying cigar,
when the reporters descended upon him
like hail from Heaven. What are the
chances of the team? was the first query.
The team, why you may put 1t down al
most as a settled fact that the trophy comes
back with them, or should they be de-
feated the contest will be the closest in the
annals of rifle shooting. The team has
been selected from several hundred OF the
age yet attained by any practicing team.
They have surmounted all obstacles con-
nected with long range shooting, the most
important being the use of the word gauge,
which the men understand as well as If
they were born with one in hand. The
expenses OF the team will be paid, and
they will have little to spare. l
must say, wound up the colonel, that If
The BritisheIs take anything in the
IIshape of prizes from us, there are lots OF pa
triots who will dive down deep to get the
prize back, IL is with respect that look to
James G. Bennett, who headed the subscrip-
ton list with $4,000 dollars, for you know
we're Just like sheep, got leader to start
and others follow. Should the team be
victorious deal Of the honor belongs to
Col. Bodine for his untiring labor in coach
