NATIONAL GUARD MARKsMEN.

A Gold Medal for the Best Shot at q
Thanksgiving Day Match.
1t was generally supposed among National
Guardsmen that with The EVENING STAR and
Ordway matches the shooting for the present
season came to an end. The superstition turns
out to be incorrect. Yesterday the proprietors
of the Sunday Herald made formal announce
meht Of their intention to offer for competition
a gold medal. The match will be of the regu-
lation variety, and is to be conducted under
the personal supervision Of Maj. J. NJ. Pollard,
inspector general Of rifle practice. 1t will be
Thanksgiving day match, commencing at about
$50 on the morning of Thursday, the 9th
instant
The terms Of the match are as follows: Com
petitors must, in the first place, be quallf ed
marksmen, having made in their regular prac-
tice not less than 65 per cent. No one who has
ever won medal or badge or cup as an indi-
vidual prize in a rifle competition can particle
pate. The shooting will be at 200, 800, 500 and
600 yards; seven shots at each distance. Each
competitor must shoot in the uniform Of the
National Guard and must use only the regula-
ton Springfield rifle. Entries must be made
to the adjutant general of the District Nation al
Guard before 4 o'clock pm. Of Tuesday, tn Q

Baltimore and Ohio locomotive Nc. 10, at
tached to the New York and Philadelphia ex-
press, which left Camden station, Baltimore, at
$40 pm. yesterday, jumped the track and over
turned at the corner Of Fort avenue and Race
street. Engineman Lawrence A Selby, the
Baltimore Sun says, was seriously injured and
Fireman John Gallagher was scalded, but no
passengers were hurt While in a curve the
locomotive left the east-bound track, ran on
the ties for thirty feet, crossed over on the
west-bound track and then fell over on its right
side on q vacant lot. The cause Of the acct
dent was a heavy chain, which was afterward
found in q frog Of the track. Selby and GAL
lagher remained in the cab and were nearly
strangled by escaping steam. Selby was scalded
from his hips down. and Gallagher had his feet
and one hand burned. The engine cab was de-
molished, with the machinery sheltered by it.
The tender broke from the engine and
cars and turned upside down in the
sent the coaches several rods past the wrecked
locomotive, when they stopped. The roof of
the baggage car was torn by contact with the
tender. The passengers were somewhat fright
ened, but the shock was light. The chain which
caused the accident was about two inches thick
and eight feet long, The railroad officials say
that it was placed there by malicious persons,
as passenger tram had passed the spot five
minutes before the express. Travel was de-
layed about an hour and a half. The express
was shifted back to Camden station and, after
obtaining another locomotive, went on to New
York.

AN EXCITING COON HUNT.
Mayor Grant and Some Friends Have q

Mayor Grant and Some Friends Have q
Lively Time in Maryland.
Mayor Grant Of New York city, Mr.. Gallup,
park commissioner, Senator Ives Of the empire
state, Alderman Morgan Of Gotham and Dr. F.
J. Ives, surgeon United States army, were for
three days last week the guests OF the Gabriel
Ducking Club, and enjoyed hunting and fishing
on South river. in Anne Arundel county, Md.
Messrs. John +. and Thomas E. Waggaman Of
this city were also of the party
On Saturday night, according to the Balti-
more Sun, Mr.. E. C. Darlington Of Baltimore
treated the party to an old-fashioned Maryland
coon hunt With four or five coon dogs, q
couple of lanterns and two colored men the
party sailed forth about pm. The dogs soon
struck trail and onward rushed the whole
party, each eager to get the first glimpse of the
warmth" The coon, however, was perverse,
and had no respect for the dignity and high
political standing Of his hunters. Over morass,
through briers, down gullies and up steep hill
sides he led his painting pur suers, whose exer-
tions to keep within hearing OF the dogs were
almost superhuman. The chase was kept up
for miles and finally carried the party along
the bank of the Gunpowder, which at that point
is about eighteen or twenty feet high and al
most perpendicular.
So anxious was Mayor Grant to see Mary
land coon that he led the chase, far outstrip-
ping all competitors. But Maryland soil was
likewise no respecter of New York dignitaries,
and in an unguarded moment the mayor made
a misstep, lost his footing and rolled down the
steep embankment and at length found a lodg-
ing place in the chilly water of the Gunpow-
der. With the assistance of his friends he got
safely to shore, but consigned the coon to
those remote and heated regions where Chris
tian people are not supposed to locate. Later,
however, the coon was captured.
Mayor Grant is an enthusiastic hunter and
was quite successful. When the party broke
up yesterday Senator Ives came to this city az
