OWING to the wind and storm on Saturday, the match of the Rifle club was not a success. In such a gale it was impossible to shoot, but the excellent condition of the club and the interest taken in rifle-shooting were shown by the large number of men who entered for the match. The weather has changed so decidedly during the week, that we hope for more satisfactory results at the regular fall championship match to take place to-morrow. Columbia and Cornell are beginning to take up rifle-shooting, and the prospect of an intercollegiate match is not very distant. Although we do not believe in keeping up a sport on account of an expected contest, we trust that an intercollegiate contest will be brought about for another reason, - on account of the interest the colleges take in the sport.
