TRISH PRBSS COMMENTS ON THE AMERICAN TRIUMPH IN THE INTERNATIONAL MATCH, DUBLIN, June 30, 1875, The Irish press speak in congratulatory terms of the victory of the American riflemen in yester- day’s contest. The Freeman's Journal compliments the Amer- jeans on their superior discipline and says:—‘‘The event and its incidents will have drawn closer the amities of the two nations engaged, and while heartily congratulating our gallant conquerors on their magnificent triumph we jook for revenge to tie future.’” The Dublin Zepress trusts that the contest will become annual, and if it should continue to be carried on with the same good feeling, not only on the part of the competitors buton that of the Spectators and of the two nations generally which has marked the first two meetings, it will do / much to cement the friendship of Ireland ana America, To this Colonel Gildersleeve has justly directed attention as the most valuable outcome | of this rivalry of marksmen, and we hope the Irisn “Six’ will spare no effort to give future ; 5 meetings that interest which alone can insure thetr continuance, Saunders! News Letter speaks in @ similar strain, and says:—“Nor should it be forgotten, slight extenuation of our failure, that while the American team was selected from a nation of forty millions, who are familiar with the rifle from their cradle, ours was selected from a province of five millions, where, except in privileged cases, the use of that weapon is forpidden,’? ‘fhe Dublin Mat remarks:—“The Americans’ visit to Europe will assume the proportions of an exchange of national hospitalities, and we in Ireland hope that the result will be a better ap. preciation of Irisn character and aspirations in the United States than bas hitherto been ti case. THE FIRST SHOT IN IRELAND. ‘THE AMERICAN RIFLEMEN TEST THEIR SKILL AT THE DOLLYMOUNT RANGES—FIRST DAY'S PRACTICE FOR THE IRISH-AMERICAN BATTLE— WHAT THE TRANSATLANTIO SHARPSHOOTERS ACCOMPLISHED, DUBLIN, June 18, 1875. The members of the American rifle team made | the acquaintance of the ranges at the North Bull yesterday under circumstances which were simply the very best possibie. If any honest well- wisher of tie team, possessed of strong influence with the clerk of the weather, lected a aay upon whicd to introduce them to the theatre of the coming contest, he could bave exercised a wiser choice. The day was, from an ‘was raining, blowing, hating, almost withour in- termission, All that was wanting was the thunder | and lightning which we had a week ago inoraer to | } make it a veritable tempest. No one in Dublin had ayy notion that rifle shooting really possesses | charms capable of woo:ng competitors to try their skill on such a day, and the surprise was great, indeed, this morning when the newspapers re- vealed the jact that a match bad been shot yester- day. NO POSTPONEMENT. It is quite certain that had the American team not been on the ground the members of the Irisn | Rifle Association would have postponed their ewn trial, As it was It was very fortunate jor the Americans. FIRST DIFFICULTIES THE PRELUDE OF TRIUMPH. The arrangements made haa fixed Tucsday next, 22d inst., as the Gay for their beginning practice. The match drew them our, They were thus able to experience at once all the dificulties with which they may have to contend on the real day of the confMict. One, at least, of the | Winds which usually prevail at the Buil swept over it almost the whole day. There was an al- most continuous downpour, sometimes being a blinaing rain, nearly intercepting the view of the targets. Thus their powers of enaurance, their keeuness of Vision, their skill in making due al- lowance lor the deflection of the bullet owing to the force of the wind, were all subjected together to a Very severe tes’ on their first appearance on the scene. « INVINCIBLE. America has reason to be proud of the result, In defiance of the difficulties which ennanced the natural draybacks inseparable jrom a novel pusi- | tion the team made @ most creditable perform- ance, They narrowly miasea winning the event itsel’, whieh was carried off by an Iriah shot who is not a member of the team that is to compete on the 29th inst. ‘Three Americans—Messrs. Fulten, Bodine and Dakin—beat all the men of the Irish International | team except one. When it is borne in mind that this result was achieved on the ground of the Irish team, with which the Americans Were wholly unacqaainted and in the testh of aiMculties with which the Irishmen have been lung accustomed to contend and which long practice has taught then how to subdue or evade—t'here is every reason to be satisfied with the performance of tne American team in this their first appearance. SHOOTING FOR THE LONG RANGE CHALLENGE cUP. The American team have been admitted hon- | orary members of the Dublin Shooting Club, and ofthe Irish Rifle Association, Yesteraay was vhe date fixed Jor the competition jor the Long Range Challenge Cup gentiomen were admitted to compete. THE HOUR fixed was 11 A.

THE Ground was very wet. Indeed, altogether the whole seene was miserable in the extreme.

In street cars, in omnibuses, on the terry | boats, em 'Change and in the corridors of the dif ‘ferent hotels the victory was diligently can- ; Vassed. The HERALD diagrams were consulted | and referred to.as the authority, and many were the admiring remarks called furth by the enter- | | prise of the HeRaLD. In a way the matcn was a | great godsend, as several gentlemen who are ac- cosiomed to eating their boarding house break- 7 3 a2 Ba 36 retired. 26 asin fast amid @ cannonading of Beecher talk | say that yesterday no word was spoken | of the case at table. They did not} | venture heme to dinner, fearing the rifle team ex- | cttement had by that time diea out. They pre- ferred to remain in the hotel corridors and en- gage in the glorious taik of victory. One of these Individuais, whose natural pride would not allow him to acknowledge that the Irish team had been fairly whipped, said;—"It was nothing but | the hospitality of tne Irish heart and the insur- | mountable courtesy of the Irish gimtlemen that | gave ye Yankees the match.” | Tae enthusiasm with which the American vic- | tory was received by the Irish on their own soil and at the expense of their own champions was commented on by every one, Several times it was said that in no otner country in the world would 4 foreign team receive such an ovation. Already the resat of the match is the subject of many jokes and cant phrase The most popular of the latter take the form of @ salutation. One American meets another and says:— “Didn't we Americans lick you Irish 7? This, of course, is said wita the greatest good feeling, and accepted as it is given. Occasionally some jolly American inadvertently saluted an Irish friend in these words, and an explanation, or a retort, | Buch as the one given above, was the result. Among the immediate friends of the team yes- terday was a day of réjowing. The friends of General Dakin had a jolly time at an uptown hotel, and those of Colonel Bonine did likewise, The happy teelings of the friends of the other members found expression in telegrams. THE TRLAGRAMS. A gentleman who should know told a Heranp reporter last night thas he had seon all the despatches sent, aud, to prove it, repeated the | bre | Kobioson, of the mail, and Sheeran, of the Ka: ern bound trains and a baggagemao, expressman | railway, mg the vietory, allowance must be made for him if he erred, One of the telegrams, he said, read as follows:— Good enough, HL G. E. Anocier, equally laconic and expressive, said, Hit 'em again. GEORGE B, Another one which, though short, told of bis con- Ndence in them, bis pleasure at their success and the result of nis betting, ran as follows :— ‘rhanks—I took ali the pools, HARRY. Several of the gentiemen who did not take Mr. | Noah Taylor’s proffered bet of $1,000 to $1,000 on the American team felt quite happy and took oc- | casion tocall on that gentieman and so inform him. Pools are now open on the Wimbledon match in which the American team are to participate. The Americans are of course ahead. SALUTE IN HONOR OF THE AMERI- CAN TEAM.

A meeting of trades unionists” Look place last evening at Masonic Hall. Mr. Jobo W. Browning, | the chairman, said that at the Cooper Instiwte meeting the trades unions were not properly re- | presented. Every map who wore a swaliow-tall | Was allowed upon the platform, while the trades’ unionists were carefully excluded. Notwitnstand- | ing the loua calls for speakers who were working- _ men, men were ted 10 address the meeting one of Whom was a politician, while another, a | lawyer, was driven out of court by Justice | Dowling some years ago for extorting too much money trom the poor people who employed bim as counsel. What they wanted to ascertain was why the Mayor reduced the wages twenty per cent, and they bad now & letter from the Mayor ating Dis reasons at length. These laborers had never depended upon the trades union system, but preferred to rely upon the tricky politicians, ‘They had asked these men time and agai to jom the trades udions, out they never would, and had never contributed a@ dollar to these associ® tions. What did these men doat the meeting? They bissead— but he thought that the men them- | selves ought to be hissea, (Applause). Did they take aay steps toward reiief, toward organizing them- | selves into unions? The object of the meeting to-night was to present the letter of the Mayor to them and to take such action as the trades | Unionists might deem pest. RESOLUTIONS THAT WERK OPPOSED. The Secretary in @ very weak voice read the resolutions, which recite that the results of the Cooper Institute meeting demonstrated that it was in reality not in sym- pathy with workingmen; that the speakers were not workingmen, but professional men; hence the wades untonists declared that the meeting was @ iraud and cheat upon the work- ingmen; toat the city laborers, in working for rates wnich they deciared to be degrading instead of standing out against them, haa sown thein- | selves “unworthy to be called men; that they were unworthy of the sympathy of the trades uuions until they subscrived to the latter, and } Haat they called upon the Mayor to maintain tne | Eigot tlour law. Mr. JAMES CONNOLLY protested against those Pons of the resolutions censuring the city woorers for not Striking and deciaring them un- worthy of sympathy unless they subscribed to the trades unions.

The present arrangement was | designed toefable them to go to work after such anin- | terruption and thus to earn at least a part of a day's sees, by working during the hours which allow it Upon each of the public work: vho are not only willing but stra hours, it they can thereby earn es.

Third—the reduction im rates enables the departments to employ, with the limited amount of money at their disposal, larger number of the \housands of untortu- nate meit with dependent families. ‘Fourth—The reduction In wages is not a spasmodic act of power, as it has falsely been represented to be, but is oniy one step in the course of the present city govern. ment toward ssary economy in expendi. | ture ot public moneys.
