Conlin's Gallbby.— To keep pace with out-door novelties 

 Mr Conlin has brought the glass ball into his gallery with 

 very good results. The ordinary traps are used, and at the 

 rifleman's command of "Pull," the glass globe is thrown high 

 into the air. The balls are similar to those which Captain 

 Bogardus and Dr. Carver have been as diligently pulverizing. 

 The eallery experts are becoming quite clever in breaking 

 the balls. The following are a few of the best scores made in 

 the gallery with rifle, distance 20 yards, balls thrown from 

 trap :

POUUTH 4NNUAL PRIZE MEETING OP THE ZlJTTLER RlPLE 



Cvm— August 27.— The range and grounds at Union Hill 

 were well filled on Tuesday with the numerous lriends of the 

 Zettlers As is well known, the Zettlers are considered as 

 among the very strongest, of the German riflemen, not only 

 as individuals, but in team shooting, having carried off the 

 prizes offered for team shooting for the lust two years. Four 

 varieties of shooting were carried on— at the ring target, man

New Jersey Rifle Association— Brinton, Range, Aug. 

 23. — The first rifle match at this new range took place on Fri- 

 day last, and was very well attended. For the short space of 

 lime which has elapsed between the organization of the range 

 and its use, everything worked quite smoothly. The match 

 was the eleventh competition for the "All-comers' Badge," 

 which had before this taken place at Rahway. Condi- 

 tions—Ten shots at 200 yards. There were twenty-five en- 

 tries. The best scores ran as follows :

 match for a Remington long-range rifle will be shot. It will 

 consist of ten scoring shots at 200 yards.

 played a great deal of energy, and this new rifle field, from its 

 proximity to NewYork, with proper railroad facilities, will 

 undoubtedly bewell sustained. The programme of the Brin- 

 ton range for the future we are quite certain will be a satis- 

 iactory one, as the prize list will be a large and liberal one.

A la Cabveb.— Lancaster, O., Aug. 19. —On Tuesday of 

 last week, Dr. A. M. Alexander, of Indianapolis, entertained 

 the Hockuociiing Shooting Club, of this city, on their grounds 

 near Mount Pleasant, with an exhibition of scientific rifle 

 shooting. He used a 32-calibre breech-loading rifle, and did 

 shooting that would have been no discredit to the celebrated 

 Carver. He broke 38 balls out of 40, thrown in the air at fif- 

 teen yards ; cut lead pencils in two, shot coins and Other arti- 

 cles witli almost infallible accuracy. His shooting at short- 

 range, at a stationary target, was simply wonderful, but at 

 long-range several of the Hockhockings laid him out.
