THE GREAT SHOOT. {CONTINUED FROM THIRD PAGE.) . annoyed by the intrsion of curious onlookers, Iitely asked thetr pests it they would not be kind enough to give them leave.to shoot. Fortunately they only rarely bad oceaston to make such mequests, for as a « rulo all were protected in the uninterrupted enjoyment of the ptivilezes to whieh as competitors they wero en- tilled. But then the Irish and Scottish teams wero more zealonsly guarded by their captains, and Major Yaic, of the Amorican reserve, kept himselt on police duty to tho rear of the “Yankee” boys to guard them from peediess intrusion. The Australians tired with more rapidity than apy team on the ground. The closeness of the contest stirred up a ood deal of excitement atthe termination of the firing at the different ranges. There were put afew pornts’ ditfer- ence in the totals of the Americans, scotch and Irish at the 800 yards’ range, The Irish were the first and the Scottish the Inst to nish at that range. ‘The con- eluding shot of either team were watched with the Ereatest interest, while 1t was generally known that this was but one Facge tn the three and that yester- day’s work was Wut half the contest, It was with great culty thatthe admirers of the teams which led list were restrained at such times from demon- Btration® of approvel at the admirab! res recorded; but, tearful of affecting the results, they generaily obeyed a simple signal for order afer giving vent to the first burst of applause, Alter completing the shooting at 800 yards the teams lunched, and without delay cot into form again at 900 yards. While the great match progressed bere the in- ternational trophy, which had been brought for exhi- dition inio the field, was attracting great attention. In consequence of some slight misunderstanding o rotest was entered against the americans by the icotch and Irish teams, but on consideration and ex- nation wag withdrawn again.

The melancholy and fatal mishap—the natural result of the manner in which they were managed—whieh enst a shadow over tho happy closing season of 1si4, alied forth such intense indignation that the managers of the rond mae efforts the next year to prevent any uccident, These efforts were successful; but the absence of accident was owing to the conduct of passengers more than to efficiency of arrangements. The crowd assembled on the range yesterday was one of the most orderly ever seen at a pablic sport, and onthe way home one could easily have imagined be wos travelling on abuck irack road through some quiet inland county. No load talking, no discussions, no obtrusive patriousm marred the harmony’ of the return trip; and the crowd was as quiet us if it bad come trom a Moody and Sankey revival mecting, Every one seemed interested in his sco! ‘d and the prospective supper in the fast nearing . None of the ns which left Creedmoor after the match was stopped at any of the intermediate stations on the way to Long Isiand City, and the trips were completed in haste and’ without excitement, A slight disappoint. ment was met at the ferry, for on arriying there many hundreds who wished to take the James slip boat were obliged to go over the ‘Thirty-(ourth street ferry, a8 that \o James slip bad been stopped. Good humor prevailed, however, and the taconvenience was overiooked, It might be well to eugyest here that the ferry officinis make some arrangement by which pas sengers can be held in the ferry house when the boat in about to move off; ‘for last nigbt many | ventnrous spiriis risked =a cold bath = and probable death, — by, leaping fro tho bridge to the moving boat, Such large train as were mado up yesierday e: passengers, and the proverbial eagernees of Arne crowds was strikingly manifested in the daring effor made to catch the first bout. Among those who leaped from the bridge last night were several ladies of more agility than prudenec, accompanied by gentlemen simt- lnrly blessed. The ladies and their gailants were or- cigners and Feemed imbued with the desire of doing in Romo as the Romans do. As the poats arrived in New York the crowd scattered into the cars of the several nes which fod terminus at the foot of Thirty-iourth ttrect, and thus dispersed one ot the most orderly and well behaved crowds ever assembled in that vicinity.
