Tanning leatlior.
The slowness of the process of tanning is largely due Co the difficulty
with which the tannin penetrates into
the hide. As the penetration progresses the outer part of the'hide be.
comes ppnyertefl intp leather anil ii?
thereby made imperraous,;*c$"rise4Ufent-
\y ^the* ra*:e of" penetration * decreases.
MPnths of soaking in the tanpit are
therefore necessary for thick .hides.
The days of sadness and mourning
throughout our country has driven
from the writer's mind all thoughts of
contests of any kind, this is his apology
for delay.
The period in our country's history
of "International contests in Rifle
Shooting," may truly be called the
"unwritten history of marksmen," and
while we attempt to giye it, we doubt
not, many of the interesting incidents
of these exciting days will be remembered by our older citizens, "out will be
new to the younger class.
Perhaps the writer ought to say
right here that the few articles on
Kifle Shooting will not be confined to
giving description of actual shooting,
for only four international contests
bave ever taken place, but will be
principally in giving interesting remembrances together with the writer's
opinion of their effect upon the future
of the whole world. International
contests in rifle shooting have been
of the greatest yajne and of the greatest importance to the civilized world.
Tbe writer hopes that these few reminiscences, all from his own personal
knowledge may prove interesting and
instructive.
Our Civil War unquestionably
brought out much thought on this
line resulting in great improvement in
the construction of Man-of-War ships
andtheir armaments and the successful
manner of nrauaging them in battle, as
shown in our late trouble witb. Spain;
also great improvement in rifle shooting and the manufactuie of firearms,
shells, cartridges, etc.
For the benefit of the younger readers of the Observer, a few names used
by riflemen especially will be given
with the writer's own definition of the
same:
Range;   grounds for rifle practice.
Team;   Several marksmen in one body.
Projectile;   Cartridge, shell or bullet. .
Bull's Eye;   The smallest circle on
the /arget.
Center;   The space between the inner and the next concentric ring.
Outer;   The space outside of the outer ring.
Score;   Number of points made by a
marksman.
A Possible;   Tbe greatest score that
can possibly be made.
Elevation; The highest point a projectile reaches before hitting the target; for instance, shooting at IjOOO^
yards the projectile ' must" rea<^ ij
height of at les4t .^6'rl-y feet fa ftv-dev
to reach the target.
for making an unprecented score of 59,
out of a possible 60 at the 1000* yards
range became prominently known and
talked jof as the "American Champion."
which prominence secured him a business of great notoriety and value   Col.
John Bodine, on account of his great
reliability in   shooting   making   the
right shot at tbe right time was dubbed hy his comrades,  "Old Reliable."
This prominence secured  him a posK
tiou in one of the courts of New York
with good pay for life.    We fnust mention one ot his shots of great value.
His opponents had "finished and were
three points ahead ef the American
team which had but one more shot to
make and only a Bull's Eye would secure a victory.    Col. Bodine took his
Prone position,   fired;    up   flew   the
white disk! indicating he had made the
Bull's Eye, and won the victory-  Henry
A.  Gilderslieve,  an almost unknown
lawyer of the city of New York who
had been chosen as Captain   of   the
American Team to contest with the
Irish at Dollymount, by  his excellent-
shooting and gentlemanly bearing on
all occasions while abroad   won   the
high esteem of those he came in contact with, as a gentleman as well as a
-rifleman, and which conduct won  the
great respect of his own countrymen at
home.    On his return he  was nominated for City Judge, elected almost
unanimously and to-day holds the high
Judiciary position of Justice of the Supreme Court of tho State of New York.
In our next will be given a few of
the many good effects   produced   by
these two contests in rifle   shooting
upon our own and other civilized nations of the earth. N. P. S.'

Value of. Shots;   This depends upon
the value placed* upon the bull's eye
at the commencement of the contest
and of course is arbitrary.   It a bull's
eye entitles the marksman to a credit
on his score of five points,  then a
cenver would give' him four' and an
outer three.
Bodily position of marksman in shooting:
Supine;   Lying on the back with the
head slightly elevated muzzle o,f \h,e
rifle resting on t^e. y$$& p.* the boots.
Pr(M{E',    Lying on   the   chest,   face
downward with the head raised   a
li*ttl*e;   rifle resting on  the left arm
and hand.    In some cases but very
rarely;    other positions are taken;,
but in no long range match is any
artificial rest allowed to either body
or rifle.
Palma means triumph.
The first international contest in
Long Range Rifle Shooting on record
took place in the year 1874 between
picked teams of Ireland aud America
and was shot oil the -American rifle
range at Creedman n few miles frpi^-
i the city of N.ew Y.oVlc'. T^g result was
|in favor of yf*e ^njer'ioao team as Jol-
llowsV Total score made by the [rish,
931; Total score made by tbe American, 934. Only three points in favor
of the American team, but it gave
them the victory and the acknowledged champions in long range rifle
shooting. Our friends of the "Emerald Isle" however, true to their nature,
"horver to give up," the very next
year 1875 challenged the American
team to another contest to take," p\aoe
