THE RIFLE.
18th Annual Meeting of the
Huron Association -
The Most Successful for Many
Years.
FAiR ATTENDANCE, FINE WEATHER,
AND 000D SHOOTING.
The 18th annual matches of the
Huron Rifle Association were held
over the Atholcott Ranges, Clintou,
on Thursday last. Tho morning
opened very dull and misty, with a
slight sprinkling of rain. The first
match -the Nursery, was called at
nine o'clock. The fog waaso heavy
that the tuarkere danger flag could
scarcely be soon, but about ten
o'clock the sun shone forth bright
and sawn. The attendance in-
creased until there were present
from 150 to 200 persons. Mr. W.
H. Cooper acted as Secretary, re-
ceived entries, membership, etc., at
the 200 range, and performed his
onerous duties in a very efficient
and satisfactory manner. On the
whole, the meeting this year has
been the Most successful ever hold
in Clinton, and the managers are to
be congratulated. The practice of
shooting is a very commendable one,
deserving of encouragement, and it
is pleating to be able to chronicle
that our public and business men
and citizens, financially, and by
their presence at the ranges, so
generously assisted the management.
It is hoped that the Association
shall bo made ono of the best in
the Dominion, and with this object
in view the co-operation of our
citizens generally is invited. This
year Hamilton and other outside
places were represented at the
matches. Anything that advertises
the town is a benefit to it. We
caunot well to be behind neighbor-
ing tuWOS in this respect, and our
people, wo know, will always be
alive to anything that will help the.
"hub" of the county. Following
are the prize winners

is said to be a "ringer" at the busi-
n 085.

Gilchrist are two old stagers and
did not take part in the thatches for
nothing.
L1EUTs. C0MBE AND 11ANCE were
unfortunately called away, and could
not take part in tho . matches,
otherwise there might have been
some changes in the prize winners.
J. JOHNSTON mode some good
shots, and he and Mr. Robson were
very generous in loaning their
rifles and giving the "youngsters"
pointers on '•how to shoot."
Mn. GRIEVE, of Seaton)), won
first money in the Nursery match,
but his record on Thursday indicates
that his nursery days are past.
Stanbury was after' him hot, a1
though much his junior.
AMONG those of the young men
who showed signs of becoming
marksmen wore Harry Stanbury, E.
Ilovey. T. Rance, It. Logan, W.
Young, A. Weleh, J. W. Ititer, and
a number of others.
MR. N. ROBSON, one of the best
shots in the county, failed to "get
there" on Thursday, but many re-
marked that "the ofd horse is not
dead yet" when he made five
straight bullseyes in the extra
series match in the evening.
LIEUT. WILSON, of Soaforth, is
the happy possessor of the Clinton.
Challenge Cup. Lieut. Celllitice,
of Holmesville, was clean on Wil-
son, but next year the young 'ups
of Clinton may make it warm for
some one. The cup trust be won
three times by the satno person
before it is finally won.
"CAPT. TODD'S first experience
was not bad," remarked many old
members, "when he made 17 points
out of a possible 25 at 400 yards;
14 at 600 yards; and 42 out
of a possible 50 at 200 yards,
etc. He must.be an old 'ringer'."
It's a fact all the same that he
never had a rifle to his shoulder be-
fore, but then you know oouucillor
Johnston has a rifle that never goes
"back" on the boys -if you only
hold her square. His score, a sore
shoulder and cheek clearly demon•
grate this fact.
CLINTON and vicinity, has the
material to make one of the best,
associations in the Dotninion. All
that is wanted is the assistance of
the "old heads," the, proper culti-
vation and experience, and the old
Huron will maintain its reputation
and bo sure to got there. A grand
showing was made by the "young-
sters" on Thursday and now it
remains to keep the ball rolling.

Huron Rifle Association will be
held at Kennedy's hotel on Friday
evening next at 8 o'clock sharp.
