Evry Friday evening the Millers headquarters are placed at 

 thp disposal of the wives, sweethtarts and sisters of the members. 

 Toe ladies are practicing for the Millers shoot at Schuetzen Park, 

 when the best lady marksman will be presented with a handsome 

 gold medal. 



A hundred shot match is being arranged bet ween Robert Zoch 

 and H. Frederick Meyer of the Miller Rifle Club. The latter did 

 not fire a shot out of a rifle until two months ago, and but for his 

 picking up the "knack" so quick one would naturally wonder at 

 his idea in challenging Mr. Zoch, who has been shooting for the 

 past ten years. The latter is looked upon as the winner although 

 he will have to "shoot" to win, 



A hundred shot match took place last Sunday afternoon be- 

 tween Captain Henry Wirth and Frederick W. Kroeger, at the 

 headquarters of the Hoboken Schuetzen Club, 223 First street, 

 Hoboken. Mr. Kroeger has appeared in many well known variety 

 theaterF, he making a specialty of "trick, fancy and difficult 

 shooting," under the professional .name of Captain Fred Leroy. 

 He had all he could possibly attend to in tackling the genial cap- 

 tain, who defeated his opponent by only a few points. The scores 

 are appended below. The conditions being ten strings of ten 

 Fhots each, 25-ring target, possible 350 points, the distance was

George Sehlicbt and Ernest Fischer, of the Miller Rifl^ Club, 

 will shoot a 100 shot match at headquarters, 80 Hudson 

 street, Hoboben, Sunday afternoon, commencing at 3 o'clock, for 

 $20 a Bide. Both men have hosts of friends and backers and close 

 teores are expected. This is the first time these gentlemen have 

 come together in a 100 shot match, and it can be safely predicted 

 that both men will do their best to win. 



The wives, sweethearts and daughters of the members of the 

 Miller Rifle Club, Hoboken, assembled at headquarters, 80 Hudson 

 street, last Friday evening for practice. Some excellent scores 

 were made, running from 225 to 244 out of a possible 250. The 

 ladies numbered 20, and those present expressed the intention of 

 calling a meeting for the purpose of forming a ladies' section of 

 t be Miller Rifle Club. The latter will then place their head- 

 quarters at the disposal of the ladies every Friday evening. The 

 next practice night will be on the 8th inst. 



The Greenville Rifle Club will soon inaugurate its regular out- 

 door shooting season at Ambruster's Schuetzen Park, Greenville. 

 Next Saturday afternoon Captain William Robidoux promises to 

 bring forth a likely looking lot of shooters, as this is not their first 

 attempt at this sort of shooting, and predicts that the club will 

 this season clipse all former efforts. The "boys" are looking to 

 their season's out-door shooting with extreme pleasure. 



The following scores were made in matches at Thurk's rifle 

 range. Hoboken, during the pa«t few days: 



I) Van Zant 25 25 24-74 F Miller 25 25 25-75 



Mrs H F Meyer 24 23 15 21 21-116 



Miss K Borne 23 24 24 20 24-115 



Last Saturday evening Geo. Baker broke 14 dancing glass balls 

 in 15 shots, at a distance of 50ft. 



It is said that a ten-men team match is being arranged between 

 the Our Own Club, Newark, and the Miller Rifle Cluo, Hoboken, 

 to take place, on May 3 at the conclusion of the regular five-men 

 team Forest and Stream match. These clubs have met several 

 timee with the Our O wns as victors. 



The Hoboken Schuetzen Club, Capt. Henry Wirth. has just 

 completed all arrangements for its annual ball at Russell & 

 Roedel's Schuetzen Hall, 223 First street, Hoboken, on April 24. 

 The gold medal to be voted for and presented to the most popular 

 captain, has brought quite anumber of candidates n> the field for 

 the honor of winning the handsome and costly medal. Among 

 tbem are Capt. Joseph Schauer. of Freiscbtltz Company No. 53;

The Jersey City papers last week had several accounts about an 

 alleged match to be shot between Colin Boag, of the Greenville 

 Bifle Club, and William Watts, of the Our Own Club, of Newark, 

 for $25 a side, at the Metropolitan Hall ranges, Greenville, last 

 Thursday evening. Mr. Watts was met in Newark by the writer 

 that evening, and denied all knowledge of such a match being 

 made between him and Mr. Boag. In fact, it was a surprise to 

 him to know he was to shoot a match that evening. The Jersey 

 City publications the next day came out with the announcement 

 that the match was deferred owing to Mr. Watts's illness. There 

 is a colored gentleman concealed in the woodpile somewhere. 



The Puritan and Greenville Rifle Clubs recently met in an 

 eight-men team match at the conclusion of a Tegular five-men 

 Forest and Stream tournament team match, in the Puritan's 

 headquarters, Newark. It was shot on the regular 12-ring target, 

 which is largely used in Newark. The Greenvilles were victors in 

 both matches, they winning both the five and eight men matches. 



There is no prospect of a match being arranged between the 

 Palisade Rifle Club, Captain John C. Reinhardt, and the Jefsen 

 Rifle Club, Captain William Jef sen, notwithstanding the accept- 

 ance of a challenge of the Palisades, published in the last copy of 

 Forest and Stream, signed by W m. Delger, secretary, and dated 

 March 23, as the Jetsen club hasn't a proper ten-men team, one 

 that could not be relied upon for a good score. The Jefsen club 

 is still busily engaged in renovating its headquarters, which will 

 soon be just as handsomely fitted up as any other in the county. 



Greenville Rifle Club, Capt. William H. Robidoux.— The follow- 

 ing scores were made in the medal competition. The conditions 

 were ten shots off-hand, 25-ring target, possi bin 250; distance 75ft.:

The medal competition of the club will soon wind up, for the 



nuldoor season is rapidly approaching, besides it is becoming too 

 warm for indoor shooting. 



The indoor shooting of the Excelsior Rifle Club, at headquarters. 

 78 Montgomery street, Jersey City, will close at the end of this 

 month, as also the weekly competitions for the several handsome 

 and costly class medals. The snooting for the latter has produced 

 much friendly rivalry and will be productive of several close 

 finishes. 



The outdoor shooting of the Excelsiors commenced last Friday 

 at the Greenville Schuetzen Park. L. P. Hansen led in the scores 

 with a total of 226, with Wm. Weber and Geo C. Varick close 

 behind. The scores are appended below. The conditions were: 

 Ten shots off-hand, 25-ring target, pos< ible 250. distance 200vds.:

The outdoor chooting will be held every Friday at the above 

 park, and already the men are deeply interested in the matter, as 

 outdoor shooting is one of the club's strongest "holts." 



Thp programme of the Miller Rifle Club's shoot and festival at 

 the Union Hill Schuetzen Park on Decoration Day will be given 

 in Forest and Stream uext week. Money aggregating $500 will 

 be distributed among the best marksmen. Gold medals will also 

 be given in the athletic games, such as the one-quarter, one-half 

 and mile run, mile walk, wheelbarrow race and three-legged race. 

 Altogether the club's annual picnic promises to be a b*g event. 

 Already the members are looking 10 their uniforms, and their 

 parade promises to have more participants than in former years, 

 when only thirty or forty would put in an appearance. At the 

 last festival a couple of hundred peopl« stayed away to witness a 

 Hoboken Firemen's Monument unveiling and the park looked 

 rather drear. In fact, the dancing platform was the only crowded 

 place in the park, excepting the shooting house. Jay H. Kay.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



The tournament of the Staunton (Va.) Gun Club, assisted by 

 the inter-State Manufacturers' and Dealers' Association, promises 

 to be one of the greatest affairs of the kind on record. The shoot 

 will take p'ace on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, April 12, 

 13 and 14. Shooters from all over the country will be on band 

 an'' a large time is assured by the members of the Staunton Gun 

 Club. The ladies of the Methodist church are to give the meals 

 on the grounds and this fact ought to go a long way toward 

 attracting the shooters. The citizens of the town, young and old, 

 are enthusiastic over thu affair and promise to give an exhibition 

 of the famous Virginia hospitality to all who attend. Staunton 

 is an entireiv new field for this branch of sport and should be a 

 very prolific one. It is an incorporated city of over 7,000 

 inhabitants, is the county seat of Augusta county, with tele- 

 graph offices, money order offices, etc., and is situated in one 

 of the most attractive parts of Virginia. During the shoot the 

 Virginia Hotel will be headquarters for the sportsmen. The 

 grounds are within easy reach of the hotel and conveyances will 

 be at hand at all times. The majority of Eastern shooters will 

 start for Staunton on Sunday night.

J. Howard Brouse, of the Philadelphia Shooting Association, 

 recently won a breech loading shotgun at Flourtown, Pa., by 

 breaking 20 bluerocks straight. Mr. Brouse is one of the best 

 shots in the above association and is a genial chap as well, as can 

 be vouched for by the writer,

A letter from Hal Penrose states that no shoot of the Inter-State 

 Association will be held at Savannah this spring, and that the 

 Pittsburgh shoot will be held during the first week instead of the 

 second week in May as previously announce^. The Brooklyn, N. 

 Y., shoot will take place the second week in June, and the Water- 

 town, N. Y., shoot the second week in July. The Association will 

 hold a shoot at Auburn, N.Y., in August on dates to be announced 

 later.

On Friday, April 15, the third team contest of the New Jersey 

 Trap-Shooters' League will take place on the grounds of the 

 Brunswick Gun Club, at New Brunswick. N. J. The shoot will be 

 a great affair, as at least ten teams will enter. An attractive 

 programme of sweepstake events will be arranged by the Bruns- 

 wick Club, woo will also have an abundant lunch on hand. And 

 by the way, this would be a good time to still further increase the 

 Bandle monument fund by arranging a one-target contest.

The Willismsport Rifle and Gun Club announces that its fourth 

 annual tournament will be held at Williamport, Pa., on May 3, 4 

 and 5, and that an attractive programme will be offered. Pre- 

 vious advices gave the dates as May 10, 11 and 12. It was hoped 

 that these dates would be adhered to, as the Pittsburgh tourna- 

 ment of the Interstate Association will take place on the 3d, 4th 

 and 5th. 



Advices from A. C. Collins, of the Colt's Hammerless Gun Club, 

 predict a great time at the club's grounds at Hartford, on April 

 15, when will be held the fourth monthly contest of the Connecti- 

 cut Shooting Association. The maiu conteBt of the day will be 

 for the trophy presented by Hal. Penrose, of the Standard Key- 

 stone Company, this being open to teams of three men each from 

 any club in Connecticut, each man to shoot at 30 Keystone targets. 



D. H. Terry, of Plainfield, and L. B. Campbell, of Little Silver,

Shooters from the East whose propose going to Staunton would 

 do well to take the Baltimore & Ohio R. R. train which leaves 

 New York at 12:15 on Sunday night (Newark at 10:34 P.M.) and 

 reaches Washinaton at 10:40 A.M on Monday. Here a change is 

 made and the party will reach Staunton at 6:51 on Monday after- 

 noon. The train has day coaches and sleeper from New York to 

 Washington, Pullman buffet parlor car from Baltimore to S'aun- 

 ton. The route leads through a very picturesque region, taking 

 in Harper's Ferry, Winchester, made famous by "Sheridan's 

 Ride," Cedar Creek, Fisher Hill, Mt. Jackson. New Market, Mt. 

 Crawford, Cave Station, Mt. Sidney and Fort Defiance.

After p 



ing, Fulford said, "Well, 1 deserve all the scoring I've had and 

 more to, and have no excuses to offer for my poor work. 1 was 

 beaten because I did not point my gun right. Charley Budd and 

 all the rest of the sportsmen I met are genial, whole-souled men 

 whom it is a pleasure to meet. The shooters whom I met are 

 square as &quare can be and not amove was made that would 

 cause a visiting sportsman to make a 'fluke.' I would like how- 

 ever to correct an error tha t has appeared in regard to my am- 

 munition. I did not use a single one of the 5J-§ Irs. wood powder 

 cartridges in either of my matches with Cnarley Budd. Allot' 

 these that I used were used in practice before the first match. 

 This load is one of the best killers I ever shot, but owing to the 

 fact that I was unaccustomed to it I got all battered-up in my 

 orai tice. I am out of form, I know, although I would not before 

 acknowledge this fact to myself. Bat I will come back again be- 

 fore many months and will show the Chicago people that I can 

 strike a winuing pace on even their so called hard birds." When 

 a*ked as to the quaPty of the birds furnished at Watson's Park, 

 Fulford said that while in the East soft birds were used in sweep- 

 stakes and hard birds reserved for matches, almost a uniform 

 quality was used at the Park, soft birds being discarded at all 

 times. Taken as a whole the birds were not any harder than the 

 as^erage birds used in the East and were twenty per cent below 

 the ones used at the Woodlawn shoot.

Mr. Fulford also said in regard to his gun, "I will put my gun 

 up for a test for pattern and penetration and general shooting 

 qualities against any gun in the world, and will pay cash for the 

 gun that outclasses mine. I am under no obligations to any 

 maker or firm, and put down hard cash for the best I can get, no 

 matter where or by whom manufactured. If there is a gun made
