4 IRELAND AND AMERICA, the Coming Contest on the Field of Clontarf. Seeicee tidied History of the Ritle Shooting Rivalry Be- | tween the Two Nations. WHO WILL BE VICTOR? Im the month of July, 1873, the Irish *team,’? shooting at Wimbledon aguinst the representa- tives of the best skili with the rifle of Emgland and Seotiand. won the Elcho Coullense Shield—a prize which was founded by Lord Eicho in 1862, The event was novel, aud it bewildered the rifemen of Great Britain, while itexbilarated ali Irishmen, The success of the Irish “team” was greater than Bad ever belore been procured at the Wimbledon butts. They represented two shooting clubs of a country im which the use of the rifle is unknown to more than nine-tenths of the population; they beat murksmen picked Irom amoung thousands of English aud Scotch volunteers, ail familiar with thelr weapon, and they made a score such as had been exceeded but once before at Wimbledon, It was but natural for them to be proud and enthusiastic, and it was but natural tor the entire Irish nation to be proud = and enthustastic for vhem, In the years that Irisn- men had deen allowed to shoot at Wimbledon they bad won second places in jour contests, It Bad been some pleasure to beat the representa- tives of either section of the Britis@ nation; bat tbe iulmess of joy inundated the heart and mind of ireland when her marksmen showed their ability above all the British rifemen. The suc- cessful members of the Dublin and Belfast Ride tlubs determined to cherish that shill which they kad prover themselves to posssssand to Lest itia A CONTEST WITH NEW ADVERSARIES. They turned to this country to And the latter. itis a fact that they were not sanguine of win- ning over our riflemen, They knew that there were thousands of men and some women ju this country skilled in the use of tne rife, and they considered that in a great congregation of persons used te ® weapon Shere must be many adepts Hence they did not bulid their hopes high, but only based them upon a sturdy determination to do their best shooting if theycame here. In esti- mating the chances of their beating oar marks- men the Irishmen paid no regard to the difference between “‘outi” shooting and tuat ‘suap’’ shoot- ing in which so many Southern men and Westera- ers are proficient, Otherwise they would have felt more confident of obiaining success here than shey did feel at the time they issued thelr chal- leuge. The frst intimation which the riflemen of America received of the wish of the Irishmen to | shoot a match with them waa from tne HERALD of November 22, 1873, As the foreign marksmen uid not know of the exis'enve of regular rife clubs in shis country, they sent their challenge to our rifle- men througo the editor and proprietor of this journal The following is a copy of the documents which were sent Lither by Major Artuur B. Leech, on behalf of bis countrymen, in November, 1873:— THE CHALLENGE. _ Dosiax, Cot, 31, 1873.
