The regular quarterly meeting followed. The resignations of 

 secretary and treasurer were announced, on account of Secretary 

 Gus Finger leaving for Chicago, where he will remain until the 

 close of the World's Fair, and the resignation of Treasurer James 

 Johnson. Herman Rosenthal was elected to serve as secretary 

 and Charles Burk as treasurer. A motion was made, seconded 

 and passed that the club have a shoot among the members to last 

 two months, and eacn winner among the first and ser-ond class 

 men be presented with a handsome gold medal. The acceptance 

 by the Puritans to a 10-men team match was received, and the 

 first match will take place at the Palisade's headquarters on 

 Thursday evening, the 14th inst. (to-night), and not on April 19, 

 as previously mentioned. The Palisades are confident of winning 

 at least one of the matchef, thereby evening up. 



The votes cast for the handsome gold medal, to be presented by 

 the Hoboken Schuetzen Club, Capt. Henry Wirth, to the most 

 popular captain, at its annual ball, at Russell & Roedels' 

 Schuetzen Hall, 223 First street, Hobokeo, on April 24. continue to 

 pour in rapidly. Captaid Joseph Schauer, of Freischutz Company 

 No. 53. Germania Schuetzen Bund, leads with an even hundred to 

 bis ciedit; Captain John Reinhardt, of the Palisade Rifle Club, of 

 Jersey City Heights, follows with a total of seventy-five votes to 

 his credit. Other candidates for the honor are Captains Freitag 

 Moehneking, KoeUisch and Forkel. The race will probably be 

 between Captains Schauer and Reinhardt, but many dark horses 

 are looming up, and it would be a most difficult task to name the 

 winner. Tne committee in charge of the arrangements for the 

 affair are: Messrs. John Stein, J. H. Kruse, Paul Schunke 

 Frederick Kroeger and Captain Henry Wirth. 



A three 3-men-team match took place last Saturday evening 

 between members of the Hoboken Schuetzen Club. Team No. 1 

 won by a small margin. The scores made were: 



Team No. 1. Team No. 3. Team No. 2.

A ten- men team match has been arranged between the Pali- 

 sade Rifle Club, Capt. John C. Reinhaidt, of Jersey City Heights 

 and the Puritan Rifle Club, of Newark, for 810 a side and a good 

 rime. The first match will take place on the Palisade's rai. - BE 

 Palisade avenue, next Tuesday evening, the 19th inst. The Pali- 

 sade's team will be composed of George W. Graf, Charles E 

 Bird, J. H. Kruse, Adolph Malz, Uapt. John C. Reinhardt, Henry 

 Boddev, Charles Buck. Frederick Brandt, Jacob Kehrwald and 

 John Carragher. A return match will take place later. The 

 Palisade's motto in this race is, "If we can't play we pay." 



The most successful rifle shooting tournament in New Jersey's 

 history, thanks to the indefatigable management of Forest and 

 Stream, is rapidly drawing to a close. The Miller Rifle Club, 

 Hoboken, continues in the lead with all victories and no defeat 

 to its ciedit. They will probably win the handsome trophy, em- 

 blematic of the State championship, unless something unforeseen 

 occurs. The Millers will shoot the following matches between 

 now and tne close of the tournament: April 19, Jefsen; May 8 

 Our Own; May 13, Greenville; May 31, Essex Amateurs. They 

 ought to at least win three out of the four remaining matches. 



Gus Finger, secretary of the Palisade Rifle Club, has compiled 

 the following averages of all the club's members who partici- 

 pated in the Fohi st and Stream thournameut matches. J. H. 

 Kruse leads with a average of 229'n), George Graf being second 

 with an average of 224 8 n , and Cape. John Rsinhardt just fills 

 third place with an average of 220" u ,. The scores with number

Although the indoor season of tnis club is rapidly closing, the 



interest centered in the annual medal competitions is iacreasing. 

 .t has resulted in pretty races in all three classes, and it is as yet 

 impossible to guess the winners, as three more weeks are left ere 

 the competitions close, which is plenty ot time to bring forth a 

 dark horse. Meantime the rifles for the long-range shooting are 

 more In demand, and the members are settling down with the ex- 

 pectation of putting up big scores this summer. 



Miller Rifle Club, Hoboken.— Captain Richard W. Dewey. The 

 scores made to-night in the regular weekly rompetitions for the 

 second class medals are appended below. Th« conditions were

The regular monthly meeting followed. The candidates for 

 membership elected were F. Drews, of this (New York) city, 

 Charles Prien and Herman Grimm. The committee of arrange- 

 ments for the big Decoration Day festival reported that all ar- 

 rangements had been completed. The music will be furnished by 

 Prof. Boenioh. The members were told to have everything in 

 readiness and to look to their coats and helmets. 



The younger members of the Miller Rifle Club are envious of 

 dashing Alson Stadler, who is to be the floor manager at the fes- 

 tival. Alson has a courtly way about him that the ladies can't 

 resist, and on the day of the affair Alson, with his breast covered 

 with the large floor manager's badge, will be looking more hand- 

 some than ever. 



Alson is jnst now very proud of a present given him a few days 

 ago by Mr. Stadler. It is a handsome 26in. Ballard rifle. It cost the 

 donor $28, as the rifle has a very neat stock and heel plate. 



The medal competitions of the club were closed last Wednesday 

 evening, the 6th inst. "Dave" Miller received the medal in the 

 first class, with R. Judson, A. Meyns and F. Liell giving him a 

 tight race. The second class medal was secured by J . H. Kruse, 

 of Forest and Stream, who secured the prize sixteen times out 

 of the twenty-six weeks that the medal was up for competition. 

 He was promoted to the first class. Henry Seltenreich secured 

 the medal in the third class, having won it fourteen times, R. 

 Stadler givine him a close call, he having won it ten times with 

 H. F. Meyer twice. Seltenreich was placed in the seeond class. 

 The medal competitions will not be resumed until next Septem- 

 ber, team shooting taking its place. It was proposed bv some to 

 close the headquarters up during the summer, and do no indoor 

 shooting until next winter, but if that idea is brought up before 

 the club it will be met by a perfect storm of oppssition, as most 

 of the members have made it their rule for the past five years to 

 regard Wednesday evening as a shooting night. 



The shoot for the Colonel Stevens trophy in the Second Ree i- 

 ment, N. G. S. N. J., will be governed by the following rules: The 

 shoot to take place on April 26 and 27, teams to consist of 10 en- 

 listed men only of each company, no member will be allowed to 

 shoot who was not enlisted before Jan. 1,5 shots per man, no 

 ex i ra shots unless bullet does not leave rifle, distance to be 100ft., 

 only one team to be on the floor at any time, ammunition to be 

 furnished by the inspector of rifle ptactice, scorers are to be 

 furnished by the same officer, trigger shall have a 61b. pull, no 

 substitution of rifle allowed during a string shoot except in case 

 of accident and with the consent of the inspector of rifle practice. 



The Greenville Rifle Club, Captain William H. Robidoux, has 

 received and accepted a challenge of the Warren Rifle Club, of 

 Newark, to a 10-men a side team match, to take place at the head- 

 guarters of the former club, "Joe" Kaiser's Metropolitan Hall 

 Ranges, Greenville, on Wednesday evening, the 27th inst. Captain 

 Robidoux is confident of his team scoring a victory, although he 

 knows they will have to shoot t o win, as the Warren clubpossesses 

 quite a lot of good material. At all events the match will be a 

 close one, and to pick the winner would be an impossibility. 



The Greenville Rifle Club are, by other participating clubs, justly 

 acknowledged to be the most hospitable of any club in the Forest 

 and Stream tournament for New Jersey rifle clubs. Although 

 the club has met with indifferent success in the tournament, 

 they are making a good showing for such a young club. 



Empire Rifle Club's Banquet. 



New York, April 7.— The Empire Rifle Club held its yearly 

 banquet at its headquarters, 13 St. Marks place, Tuesday evening, 

 the 5th inst., and was attended by delegates of the leading rifle 

 clubs of New York and its vicinity until the early hours of the 

 morning.
