THE SECOND DAYS SHOOTING

The second day Of the National Rife Association
meeting at CreedmOor yesterday showed slight
Improvement in attendance and In the scores that
made But, on the first day, tho interest in
the shooting is apparently only that of competitors,
and the public remains away. There will no doubt
be more marIsmen present to-day and during the
remainder Of the week, rs the team and the inter
state matches will now be contested.
The weather up to this time has been delightful,
and favorable for good shooting, which is rather
novelty in the fall meeting as generally the asso-
citation has stormy and rainy weather for its meets.
Yesterday bright day with only light
wind blowing down the range 1t was little puffy
occasionally but not enough to interfere with good
craftsmanship. In the forenoon the light almost
too bright but on the whole the day was a good
shooting day. as proved by the respectable
which made.
The only match that finished yesterday was the
Judd match in which the Remington 50-calibre State
model or the United States Springfield rifles used.

The other matches arc all continuous. and will not
be decided till the end Of the meeting. They are the
Directors Governors Tiffany, Steward and AllCom-
ers' matches. A curious thing about the latter two
matches is that several good shots who did well at the
AlComers which Is fired standing at 200 yards, went
TO pieces on the steward which Is fired at the same
distance but in much easier position, the marks

teams from this club and three teams from the zettler
Rife Club have been entered for this contest and to-

Tho New-York state National Guard match, which
is TO be shot off on Friday, will be hoty contested as
rivalry runs high between the picked teams OF the
different militia regiments. The teams Of the 9TH.

close together in the practice shoots. but the 10Th IS
doing remarkably well at both 200 and 500 yards and
il they keep their good form they will give their COM
peitors a tough struggle. The 23d Regiment, IL Is
said is reservng its best men to meet the Washington
team.
The 10th Regiment team lost the use Of one Of its
best men, one of the best marksmen on the range,
about three weeks ago. This man is John COrrie, and
he was crippled by the accidental explosion Of a shell
which he was loading in the 18th Regiment armory
