— Secretary F. J. Donaldson has set apart Tuesday and 
Thursday afternoons, from 1 to 3 o’clock, for attendance 
at the rooms of the National Rifle Association. He will 
be happy to see ail the members and others at these 
hours, and confer with them on rifle-shooting matters. 
New Jersey— Newark .—The riflemen here are a busy 
lot, and at present a dozen rifle clubs are in existence in 
this city as follows : Newark, Amateur, Barnard, Freling- 
huysen, Washington, Plymouth, Sterling, Essex, Niagara, 
Catholic Institute, Joe Hooker, Enos Runyon. 
Of the galleries in the city the oldest and probably best 
known to the general public is at No. 554 Broad street, 
and is now kept by Mr. Hill. This range was built in 
1869 by A. B. Kay & Co., and in its early days was the 
resort of all who enjoyed rifle shooting. From ten to 
twenty thousand cartridges a month were used. Since 
then an entirely new gallery on an ingenious principle 
has replaced the old one. The target is placed on a car¬ 
riage, which is moved on rails up and down the rauge. 
The distance is eighty-five feet. 
Montgomery's range in Clinton street is one of the new¬ 
est. It is the headquarters of the Newark Amateur Club 
and the resort of the Association. 
At the comer of Broad and Clay streets Mr. Van Vol- 
kenburg Las ereoted a double gallery with a range of 100
