” THE CENTENNIAL RIFLE MATCH. Competition for Places on the Scottish and Irish Teams. THE COMING MEN. The Scores Made at Cowglen and Wicklow. GLascow, August 11, 1876 ‘The final competitions for places in the Scottish Cen- tennial team for America were held at Cowglen on Monday and Tuesday, June 26 and 27. On Monaay the sun shone almost Gercely, with scarcely a cloud or a breath of air to temper the heat in tho early part of the day. In the afternoon there was a slight breeze, but is came in shifty gusts, which were troublesome, Many who have had experience dectared the day hotter than at Wimbiedon. Many expedients to mitigate the effect of the heat were had recourze to, but in vain, ‘and with some of the shooters the sweat was actually dropping on to their rifles while firing. The brilliancy was inconvenient, and a less bright day wou'd have Deen bailed as & boon in more senses than one. Only fifteen competitors appeared. But Colonel Mac- flonaid, the captain of the team, explained, that this was no index of the amount of interest taken in the Centennial match apd the object of these competitions, A number of men, who would have been proud and pad to be placed on the team, find it impossible to quit their business for the time necessary to go to America, Immediately after the shooting at the 900 yards Prange, an important meeting of the competitors was held, at which Colonel Macdonald was unauimousiy empowered to nominate twe riflemen, in addition to the ten selected by means of the competitions. so as to False the pumber to be taken out to America to twelve, ‘The eight who wili eventually shootat Creedmoor will be selected after practice in America, Arrangements were also made to appeal to the pubiic jor funds; but it was Stated to the meeting that almost sufficient funds have deon already got together to defray ali necessary ex- penses. Roterence was made to the kind and hospit- Able invitations whieh had already reacted them irom America and of the generous couriesy which had be extended to them. As at present purposed the men are to camp out, as at Wimbiedon, instead of going to hotels; and the National Ritle Associat of the United States have, through their secretary, Mr. Schermerhoru, most generously undertaken to supply the Scottish team with a complete camp equ iree of all exponse and trouble. These announ were received with hearty applause.

The day was cooler than its Predecessor, but in the atternoon the breeze became Unpleasant On account Of its uNsteadiness, both as to for ind direction, which palpably affected the shoot ing. One incident worth noting is this, Private W. Ciark was making a good score. He fired bis tweltth shot into target to bis right, making a bull’s-eye. ‘His next shot was a contre on bis proper target, and then, evidently too anxious to avoid his former error, be Went too tar m the opposite direction, and with bis fourteenth shot mace # ball’s-eye on the wrong target to his leit. It 18 to be hoped be will get cured of tnese Hitle vices betore he goes to Atnerica. The following are the scores of this second day :— SECOND DAY'S SCOKE. Yards, PRIVATE W. CLARK, EDINBURGH.

When the ten names had been announced Colonel Maedonaid said that all he bad just now to any to the team was that they wore now under his orders abso- Jutely ull the 13th of September, a statement received with great cheering.

The other day a meeting of the competitors was held at Wicklow to consider what should be done with regard tothe tcam. Captain Smytu, of the Lanark volun- teers, had declared his inability to go to America, 80 bis place should. be supplied. At Major Leech’s suggestion the voting was by ballot, and was conducted as follows:—A list was drawu up, including all tho Bames of the ten who had taken highest place in tne competition on Wedvesday and Thursday (for the Aber- corn Cup), and also all those who were suggested to be co-opted tnstead of Captain Smyth, Then each com- petitor present “tick of the ten names he recom- mended to be finally chosen to constitute the team.

It was then formally resolved unanimously that the twelve men thus chosen—ten by ballot, two nominated—should be the team to go to America, the eight who will actunily shoot in the International Centennial Match not to be chosen till after practice at Creedmoor, CREEDMOOR. 4 SHORT RANGE DAY—-GOOD WORK FOR THE “MARESMAN’S” BADGE Saturday’s short range matches havo always formed ‘an agreeable feature on the monthly programme of tho National Rifle Association, and none of these contests have proved more attractive to our military riflemen this season than that which came off yesterday atter- noon at Creedmoor for the ‘‘Marksman’s Badge,” The competition was open to all comers who aro members of the National Rifle Association.

At the longer range the marksmen went over to the old mid-range butts and finished the contest, Quite a number of well known small bore riflemen, among whom were several prominent members of tho American team, practised on the tirst class targets | during a pats of the forenoon and up uutil threo o’clock, when their sport was interrupted by the mil- itary marksmen invading the left of the ranges, and thus putting a stop to shooting at the extreme distances, Newfly ail the members of tho Australian team were on the fanges in the forenoon, and the portion of them hailing from Victoria had an informal practice for the purpose of getting their elevations down to a fine point and of becoming better acquainted with the pecatiar wind drifts which tn this season of the year s0 much bother even the best shots who go to Creedmoor, These gentlemen, it 13 expected, will get down regularly to work to morrow. Some of tne goftiemen from New South Wales shot their regular scores, with the following result on the part of two of them:—Me. D. Gee, 194 poimis, aud Mr. J, 3. Lynch, 190, out of a possible 225. The Australians returned to the city on the six- teen minutes to three o'clock P. M, train, and the most of the other marksmen camo back at‘a quarter after tive o'clock. There were a few ladies on tho grounds, the weather being delightful. THE CANADA CREEDMOOR TEAM PRACTISING. Toroxto, Ont, August 26, 1876. The team of riflemen who are to represeut Canada at the international rifle match at Cretdmoor practised here on the Garrison Common yesterday. The dis- tances were 800, 900 and 1,000 yards. A good sco! was made, The team will bave apother day's pract next week, and will leave for New York on tue 7th of September. RIFLE NOTES. Private Hale, of the Seventh regiment, whose namo appeared yesterday in these columns ag Hall, desires that this correction should be made. In doimg so it may be well to state thas the wretched caligraphy and worse orthography on the part of military scorekeep- ers (although Murray says that people are not’ bound cave sof greater mistakes at Croedmoor than that com- pint ly Mr. Hale.

THE AMERICAN RIFLE TEAM. Avery mischievous item affecting the American National Rifle Team has appeared in a Boston journal, and been reproduced in this city. It purports to bea telegram, and conveys the unwelcome news of sup- posed Jealousies and disagreements among the mem- bers of the team. It says that tho team are not work- ing harmontousty together; that the members are discontented with their present Captain, Major Henry Fulton, and that be has been requested to resign, During an interview yesterday Major Fal. ton contradicted specifically the damaging reports con- tained in the paragraph above alluded to, and believes them to have been thrown out by some evil designed person fur tho purpose of trying to sow the seeds of dissension among the gentlemen who form the Ameri- can team, with a view to lossening its chances of suc- cess in the coming international rifle match, Major Fulton makes, in vricl, a statement to the following effect: — ‘The American team are working in harmony among themselves, and the best prool of this is to be found in the unequalied exvelience of the practice lutely carried on, With regard to the eaptaiuship, Co.onel Giluer- sleeve Was Urst elected, but deciined’ to serve; then General Shaler was chosen, and he #iso refused to as- sume the responsibility, Gildersieev® was elvcted a second time, but after being allowed, at his own re- quest, time to consider the matter, again siznifled bis inabiiliy, on account — of protessional engagements, ‘to accept Tho team, now resoived to try and get along withont a Captain; but, alter a short trial, found that this idea would not work well. ‘Ibey then beid a meeting on the ranges, aud agreed to elect a chiel before separating.

The chief topic of conversation among the Prospect Park yachtsmen, for some time past, has been the race which is to take place in Gowanus Bay in September, when Captain Robert Center, of the New York Yacht Ciub, will ofer a $50 cup asa prize. Up to yesterday the general opinion among the haviiués of tho park was that any yacht belonzing to @ regularly organized elub could ‘enter for the prize, but yesterday Commodore Conklin, 01 the Prospect Park Ciuv, displayed a note which he said came from Mr. Censer's secretary, which stated that only the yachts of the Prospect Park Ulub would be allowed to compete. If this restriction is maintained it will be @ causo of great regret to many lovers of the sport, as well ax the yachisinen of the Ameri. can and Long Island clubs, who have been actively en- gaged for two weeks past in making preparations for ‘the race, The Prospect Park Club is the smallest that eails on the lake and has, by no means, the fastest bouts, as the time of yesterday proves, day's regattas Were those of the Long Island and Prospect Park ¢iuds, the prize in both cases being the champion ciud penuant. inthe raco of the former, the Unknown, Kaita, Florence, Adelia, Jeannos and Esaio were entered. ‘The course was the long ono, from the cast to tho west shore of the lake, being dead to windward, The Joannot, 66 Inches, won two straight heats, the first in 9m. 30s., and the second in lum. 168, actual time. ihe first was exceptionally fast tun In the Prospect Park Club regatta the course wag not quite to windward, the voats boing able to make a lon; The Rovert Center, Pioneer, Repuv- ie fe the contestanta.

In this threo crack crews—the London, the Atalanta aud the Nortu western fours—are pitted against each otuer, and it is conceded that this will be the closest ana best of the contesis, ‘The winners of this heat will very likely be the win- ners of the four-oared race.

STRONG PROOF THAT THE UNKNOWN WAS MUR DERED—IMPORTANT OMISSION AT THE IN QUEST—MISSING MEN BEING SOUGHT AFTER Although an investigation bas been set on foot by the Sheriff of Westchester county, looking to th identification of the headless corpse found at Scarsdau on the 18th inst., no defutte clew which might lead « that result has as yet been discovered. The actiona Coroner Purdy in bot causing a post-mortom examina tion to be made of the remains is being severely commented upon throughout the county, It it argued that while the means employed t¢ convey the head over a fence and deposit it some yards away from the body may probabiy remain enveloped in mystery there should be no doubt as to the manner in which that member was severed. This, it is urged, could have been easily determined by almost any medical man, who would have been able to state to the jury whether the head was hacked off before aecomposition set in, or whether the vertebra bad been simply disjointed atter the pro- cess of decay had denuded it of flush and muscular tise sue, Ifthe latter hypothesis were established it would tend to strengthen the theory of, perhaps, suicide on the part of the stranger, as then the removal of the head might be reasonably attributed to some animal of the woods, or at least to other than human agency. This imporant omission on the part of the Coroner will be more fully appreciated when it is stated that the writer loarned yesterday from the undertaker who buried the body that the skull of the unknown displayed an extes sive compound fracture, on the right side and a little back of the ear, The wodertaker being positive of this signiiicant circumstance, the kupposition of foul play baving been tne meane Of the stranger’s taking off seems very lar trom being unwarranted. That the cicthing of the deceased was not reinoved and kept for the purpose of possible {dentilication, instead of being buried with the body, te also regarded in the light of » palpable oversight. It is true that at present the remains, which he in tl Scarsdale burial ground, can be easily exhumed, were necessary, but, it cannot ve sibility of identilying the clothes on the body will have “passed away. That there are some men missing in the community, howeve has already been demonstrated, Lost Thursday fashionably dressed women called on Elias Garthwait, the searsdale undertaker, for the purpore of question- ing bi to the appearance of the unclaimed corpso, Having stated that they were from Brookivo, one of them said that her husband left home on # business er- rand about seven weeks ago and had not since returned, Toe missing nan, she said, bad o@ bis person a valuable gold watch and chain, besides a pot inconsideravie sum Of money, Alter having boen shown the only relic of the deceased left above ground—an openwork Leghorn browa bat, with a wide band of silk ribbon te mutch—the visitors concluded that the body found at Scarsdaie was not the one which they were in search of, Yosterday morning another well dressed womao irom New York called ou the sam jertaker to in- quire abou: the body, Tas person set forth that a young gentioman who boarded with her up town has been missing for the past six or eight weeks.
