"Mr. Johnson is a Dublin jeweller, and is about 26 years old. He
has not been in good health since his arrival, but shot well yesterday."
Harper's Weekly,
17 July 1875
"Mr. Johnson is a slight-built, although muscular, man, with sandy
hair and light mustache, and in shooting lies on his back and rests
the muzzle of his gun over his left thigh. His score in the International
match last year was fifth in the list. He is thirty three years of age,
a jeweler by occupation, and resides in Dublin."
