 Sunday, Mr. Bodenstab made the first and only full score of the 

 sboot." (i. D. ATeigman, or Newark, toward evening told quite a 

 number of his experiences while sleep-walking. One particularly 

 caught his listeners. He said he belonged to the National Guard, 

 and came home one night with a sergeant's sword and scabbard. 

 He laid them at the foot of the bed and went to sleep. He woke 

 up to find himself on the floor, with the sword in one hand and 

 the scabbard in the other. What awoke him from his sleep was 

 his cutting his shin against an old flower pot. He said this virtu- 

 ally cured him of walKing about in his sleep. The shooting com- 

 mittee were David Miller, E. Fischer, Charles Judson, J. H. Kruse 

 and Ctipt. R. W. Dewey. 



The Miller Rifle Club, Hoboken, has its ten-men team in readi- 

 ness for the match with the crack ten of the Manhattan Shooting 

 Club, of this (New York) city. The first match takes plaoH on the 

 Zettlers'' range, Bowery. New Y''ork city, on Thursday evening. 

 Jan. 7: the second at the Millers' headquarters, 80 Hudson street, 

 Hoboken, on Friday, Jan. 14, and as it is best two out of three, a 

 third one will take place oq some neutral range. The match is 

 for a handsome trophy and all expenses. The match is the re- 

 sult of a challenge issued to the Millers by the Manhattans. The 

 trophy is a handsome one, and will no iloubt make the headquar- 

 ters of the winning club look more attractive. 



NOTES. 



The Jefson Rifle- Club, with headquarters on Zabri.skie street, 

 Jersey Oity Heights, are making extensive alterations at their 

 range. 



Fred. K'oepping and H.F.Meyer, of the Jefsons, will be pro- 

 posed for membership at the next meeting of the Miller Rifle 

 Oiub, Both are hustlers, and will no doubt be gladly received. 



An interesting feature of the Hudson Rifle Club is the premium 

 offered the members who make the highest average every year. 

 They have to shoot 53 targets, or one a week. The highest man 

 receives 813 and the second $8. Capt. Hansen leads with John 

 Rebhan a close second. The year esrpires in May. 



The Miller Rifle Club will hold its annual election of officers on 

 tbe flrat Wednesday in February. There will probably ba a few 

 changes. 



Every club entered in the tournament is now ready to do busi- 

 ness, and before the touruRment closes it will be seen, that there 

 will be several "in it" for the handsome trophy. 



George Schlicht was in hard luck at the Miller shoot. His first 

 twn shots on one ticket were 35, 35. His next shot was abotit a 16. 

 G. D. Weigman was situated about the same. 



Tbe match between Wm. Bermos and H. Untereiuer. and C, 

 Wool mington and J. Waller, all of Union Hill, was decided at 

 Monitor Park, Thursday, Dec. 34. The conditions were 33 birds 

 each man, ig.50 aside, and a dinner for twelve. Bermea and Un- 

 te reiner proved to be the victors, they winning in a hollow style. 

 The scores were: Bermes 15, Untereiner 19, total 34; Waller 10, 

 Wcolmington 10, total 20. The dinner was afterward partaken of. 

 No return match has yet been spoken of. Jay H. Kay.

 Mountjov, of the Wurfflein Rifl'? and Pistol Club, of Philadel- 

 phia. The target, which is exact size, was made at 75ft, with a

The following report of Secretary T. J. Dolan for the year 1891 

 will be of interest to all riflemen: 



"In the oft-hand match, shot at Wissel's Park and Creedmoor, 

 L. L. 33 competitions were held, 13 of which were held at Wissel's 

 Park, showing a total of 583 entries, and 10 competitious were 

 held at Creedmoor, L. I., showing a to^al of 554 entries, or an ag- 

 gregate of 1,130 entries— a grand good showing and again of 481 

 eu'rif smore than in the same matcii in 1890. and no doubt wfre it 

 not for the unfavorable weather at Wissel's Park on several dates 

 set for matches the entries would have been considerably more. 

 The members all show an improvement in tliHir shooting, over 

 previous years, and the scores of Dr. E. R. Cbadbourne, the _win- 

 ner of the gold medal, are well worthy of noiice, as they were made 

 with a .25Dal rifle. This caliber has attracted the attention of 

 many, and to-day we have 10 members who have provided them- 

 selves with rifles of the same caliber. 



The prizes in this match, which consisted of gold, silver and 

 bronze medals, were won as follows: 



Gold Medal.

Dr. Chadbrmrne also wins the special prize for the highest score

There are three more prizes in this match, and as all other 

 competitors failed to have the rfquisite aggregate of live scores, 

 as per programme, the Club retains same prizes. 



As to the rest match at Creedmoor. eight compEtitions were 

 keld, with a total of 405 entries or 233 entries more tnan in 1890. 



Much interest was ta !<en by the memb='rs in trying riflss, ammu- 

 nition and sights of all kinds, and I trust many of thememhers 

 have found from experience in thi'-' match what is best adapted 

 for such work. The winm rs of the t L ; . r i : i

 highest single score— 98 oat of a possible 100, 



In summing up, the above matches show an aggregate of 3,010 

 entries, a remarkably good showing, and an increase of 735entries 

 more than in the same matches of the previous year. 



Iq the fall meeting the Executive Committe entered two 

 teams of five men each, and truit next fall they wiU be more suc- 

 cessful. 



During the early part of the season the Club purchased and 

 erected one of the finest tents now at Creedmoor; so that as the 

 targets are now all of canvas, all matches can he shot rain or 

 shiue, and in cold or windy weather. The tent is so constructed 

 that three targets can he used at all times.

Springfield Xmas Shoot. 



The Springfield, Mass., Rifle Association had an excellent 

 gathering of riflemen at their rang,"- on Dec. 35, a number of 

 beginners coming out to try their hands with the rifle for the first 

 time. It was rather a poor day for big scores on account of tbe 

 smoke settling down in front of the firii.g point and ntaking the 

 light poor. No big scores were made except the 110 made at a rest 

 by Mr. Stephens with his little 25c.al. Maynard. This beats the 

 record on the Brightwood Range, and marksmen think it has 

 never been made elsewhere with a rifle of that caliber. The shoot- 

 ing opened about 10 o'clock and the target tenders were kept on 

 the jump until darkness put a stop to the sport. The merebers of 

 the association will visit the Amherst Rifl^ Club Jan. 1. The fol- 

 lowing scores were made, 300yds., standard target:
