Military Rifle Work in Newark. 



The First Brigade Rifle AssociatioB, recently formed by some 

 of the enttasiastio. military riiiEmeii of Newark, N. J., is boom- 

 ing this branch of the soldier's educatioti in its section. Just at 

 present their outdoor work is confined to 200yds., tb^re being no 

 longer range available. They practice ever? Saturday afternoon 

 at the Newark Shooting Park, where excellent accommodations 

 are afforded them. Here, however, they are compelled to shoot 

 through a shield, this giving radically different conditions from 

 what they would have on a range that was entirely open. For all 

 that it is an excellent place for winter practice, as the shooters 

 are pntirely protected from the elements. During the winter 

 months they will also practice both offhand and prone shooting 

 on the 387d. range in the First Regiment Armory, which they 

 will equip at tlieir own expense. This will give the members 

 good training in holding, sighting and pulling the trigger. Indoor 

 rifle-shooting among the New Jersey guardsmen has bpcome al- 

 most a dead-letter during the past six or seven years, but it is 

 hoppd that the Association will serve to give it a fresh impetus. 

 The majority of the members are connected with the First flegi- 

 ment, an organization which is comprised of a large amount of 

 strong shooting material, and which will, with the encouragement 

 now being given by the field, staff and line officers make a good 

 showing on the State ranges nest season. 



it is more than likely that the Association will in the early 

 sprine procure land in some convenient location and equip a 200 

 and 500yd. range for the use of the guardsmen in and aoout New- 

 ark, so that they may secure some preliminary training before 

 the 1893 season of class practice begins. If they do this tney will 

 receive the blessing of every guardsman in upper New Jersey, 

 who for years have been longing for a plRce to practice. 



The last practice of the Association was held at the Shooting 

 Park on Saturday, Oc^. 8, with a tricky wind and dnU, hazy light. 

 The Creedmoor target was used, the distance being 200yds. Spring- 

 field rifles were used. The record scores were as below:

Indianapolis Shoot. 



iNBiANAPOns, Ind., Oct. 6.— The city of Indianapolis is so 

 called because of the number of Indians who live there I pre- 

 sume.^ The worst Indian of the lot, if we may follow a consensus 

 ot opimon of the shooters who attended Messrs. Polster and 

 Allen's second semi-annual tournament, held this week, is Mr 

 W. !£-.,Hill, otherwise known as the "original sparrow man." 

 Mr. Hill was to have had on tap an unceasing stream of spar- 

 rows, 0,000 or more at the lowest cilculatiun, but the event was 

 not as per programme. A meager 1.500 was all the coops showed 

 on Thursday, and the supply for the next day being a highl? 

 uneertara quantity the tournament came to a harsh and abrupt 

 Vlwv,^'^™®''*^ evening. Mr. Hill is said to have supplied over 

 1.00,000 sparrows to the trap-shooters in the past three years It is 

 to be hoped that he supplied them on a more tangible basis than 

 that shown to-day. He was also billed to furnish a number of 

 live blackbirds for this shoot, but not a blackbird was on hand 

 lo these failures, due either to Mr. Hill or to the management 

 or both, much of the main interest of the shoot was cut off. and 

 a four days' shoot was reduced practically to a three days' shoot 

 those who expected a little variation from the monotony of a tar- 

 get shoot being disappointed, and the management being asked 

 to stand an incidental loss of some consequence. It is to be sug- 

 gested to Mr. Hill that he promise managements no more birds 

 than he can supply and to the management that they promi'^e 

 shooters no more birds than they have under contract Observ- 

 ance ot these simple directions would have prevented what is 

 technically kn9wn as a "roar" among the shooters, and also 

 wtiat is colloquially designated as a "kick" among the manage- 

 ment. As it was, there were current remarks to the effect that 

 the whole thing was a blame shame and that Mr. Hill had acted 

 ^■ea.lniean, which impressions are transmitted in a duly softened 



Barring the above misfortune, the tournament wasavervfair 

 one, as tournaments go in these degenerate days of a couple of 

 ll^il?,'; -^^ s'^ooters for fighting band. Two very decent davs 

 Sh^. t- W%\ '''"^ *® ^^^^ ^^^^ touched the 



notch at 1800 to 3,000 sparrows, instead of 1,800, had the visible 

 SJl tit • ^^l^efliT was^ioti^iiigat/all' for the Hnosier 

 an^att ^''f °'i'l'^.°K* ■ Especially was it rich in distinguishpd 



guests.. First ot all there I place myself, not for any purely 

 egotistical reasons at all. hut because circumstauces seem un- 



deniably to demand it. Ordinarily, and as a plain newspaper 

 man, I wouldn't feel this way about it. but times have changed 

 now. When I went to the hotel on my arrival in the citv. I was 

 mistaken for a commercial traveler, and the clerk asked me if I 

 wanted a sample room, before ne bad seen my baggage. This I 

 consider the greatest compliment mortal man can" receive, and 

 there must be something great in the man who is thn object of 

 such tribute. Not to disappoint the clerk. I told him I did want a 

 sample room, and having obtained it, I spreiid out divers and 

 siinriry specimpn copies of thp greatest paper on earth, which is 

 Forest and Stream. If the goods are not up to or above sample 

 n3 times in the year the house will refund the money. 



Besides myself, commercial traveler, there were many other 

 notable men on hand, several of these from Mt. Sterling, Ky., 

 shoot, still red in the face and hoarse in the neck from their pro- 

 tests at what they described as a most interesting and remarka- 

 ble entertainment. The Old Reliable Ed Taylor came bei Indiau- 

 apolis yon Cincinnati, and ao did Gns Dicks. Ben Teipel didn'r, 

 being home and laid up from high and hard kicking at Mt. 

 Sterling. Jimmy Elliott was on hand looking very brown and 

 hearty, and very anxious to shoot E. D, Fnlford a race for $LO00 a 

 side (in money) on the flat fair grounds at Kansas Citv. I under- 

 stood him to say also that he would make the same proposition 

 for the neutral ground of lndianapili.=. Michael Ca sins San- 

 ford, of Townsend, O., with his friend J. P. Easton, of Monroe- 

 ville, O., appeared regularly at the sparrow score, and so did Geo. 

 Beck and Dr. Britton, and others of the footligbt favorites of 

 giddy trapdom. Dr. Britton is dangerous at the sparrow traps, 

 having a total of 134 out of 137 to his credit, which is a feat 

 technically described as warm tamales, "Old Man" KeUar. of 

 Batavia. N. Y., was another feature, and as usual was often the 

 center of an interested crowd. Mr. Kellar is patentee of an 

 ejector, and not having been able to sell the patent to the Parker 

 Company he has put one of the devices on his own Parker gun, 

 with the result of making it a very good shooter at both ends. 



It was a pleasure to meet also at the grounds Capt. Arthur Du 

 Bray, known a long time in the gun world by his writings over 

 1 he nom de plume "Guacho," in championship of the Parker gun. 

 It was in the nature of things that Capt. Du Bray should follow 

 his beliefs fully, and so at length he resigned from the United 

 States Army, and for some time, as is generally known, has been 

 representing the gun which won his early admiration. In this 

 capacity he has been very successful and has formed a wide 

 circle of friends. Capt. Du Brav has had a somewhat interesting 

 career, of which the shooting public probably knows little. Born 

 an Englishman, he was educated in the north of France, and 

 later moved to South America, where he went into sheep, engaged 

 in many exciting forms of the chase, and met some tew adven- 

 tures of a less likeable sort of which he probably wishes he had 

 no mementoes. Hence his pseudonvm, "Guacho." Leaving 

 South America for the Dak etas of the early days, and later 

 joining the United States Army, Capt. Du Bray was long in the 

 wilder West, and sampled all sorts of shooting, from antelope to 

 wildfowl, from Montana to the coast. He knew Gen. Custer well, 

 and narrowly escaped the massacre. He knew also Capt. Wallace 

 and others who met their fate at Wounded Knee, and ranks 

 among his friends Lieut. Nicholson and many other gentlemen 

 who were in the Pine Ridge campaign. 



Attendants at this shoot were blessed with perfect weather and 

 almost perfect grounds. Fairview Park, near which the "United 

 States Shooting Park" is located, lies on high bluffs, six miles out 

 by electric car. The traps were set on a high knoll, with a drop- 

 off into soace about 50yds. back of the traps. The hluerock traps 

 threw 7,000 birds in two days, and offered nothing new as feature 

 the North handicap system being in force. The main interest of 

 the shoot centered around the advertised programme of live spar- 

 rows and live blackbirds. Of the latter, as above stated, the man- 

 agement could obtain none at all. Such results are unsatisfactory 

 to shooters, though Mr. Pslster and Mr. Allen, who assisted in the 

 management, were probably more cut up about it than anybody 

 else. 



Indianapolis is the great original sparrow town, and sparrow 

 shooting as shown there is very interesting sport. Ten traps were 

 used, 3yd8. apart, rapid-fire system, any bird touching the ground 

 inside bounds scored dead. The boundary was 30yd8. from the 

 end traps, or about 87x60yds. in size, nicely marked by a ISin. strip 

 of muslm stretched completely on stakes. The birds showed 

 themselves very sharp, quick flyers, above all very twisting ones, 

 and plucky beyond their size, many falling dead out when very 

 hard hit. The shooting was by no means easy, I should say about 

 as hard as good pigeon shooting, and much like it in miniature. 

 Mr. Elliott won first average on sparrows and his showing was 

 89 per cent. Different loads and difl'erent styles of shooting prf- 

 vailed. Dr. Moore ("J. Snipe") attracted much comment by his 

 brilliant but risky style of snapping the bird the instant the trap 

 was sprung. As a single-barrel sparrow shot I suppose Dr. Brlt- 

 tan ("Partington") would be hard to beat. 



An alleged road house provided an alleged lunch at Indianap- 

 olis shoot, but the lunch was of the all too common kind, a sort 

 to make one lose the integrity of his moral character. Shooters 

 and shooting would be better off if more attention were given to 

 the amenities and less to the scramble for that same old ten-bird, 

 one-dollar, get-ready-your-next-gquad sweepstakes. The details 

 of the tournament, however, showed skiUful and experienced 

 hands, and everything moved along in a way quite satisfactory 

 to the shooters. One feature I think quite worthy of notice, and 

 that is the way in which Mr. W. B. Allen :kept the cashier's 

 records. He has a system of his own by which the men of each 

 "hole," or first, second, third, etc., are entered up together as 

 soon as the squad cards are in in a book spaced for that purpose. 

 He thus has the winners classed and under his eye, and figuring 

 the moneys after the last squad starts firing, he apportions each 

 purse to its proper column and can hand a winner his money the 

 instant he asks for it, with the result that the shooting never 

 need wait on the secretary, and that the secretary is never rattled 

 nor confused. Mr. Allen was alone at his desk, took all the en- 

 tries, paid out all the cash, and at the end of each shoo*- had all 

 the records copied in and uplto date. He saysihecan run 300 shoot- 

 ers as well as 30, and I must say I have never seen his equal be- 

 hind the cashier's desk at a tournament, either for speed, accu- 

 racy or neatness. 



The greater part of the shooters left for home Thursday even- 

 ing, and at that time it was thought that Friday would have no 

 attractions of consequence except an individual match. 50 targets. 

 25 known angles, 25 unknown, .SaO, between Mr. H. A. Comstock, 

 of Indianapolis, and Mr. J. P. Easton. of Monroeville. O. 



Prizes for average were open to all shooters participating in all 

 programme events, 5 per cent, of all purses, after deducting the 

 price of the birds, being set aside for this purpose, divided 50, 30 

 and 20 per cent. Average moneys were awarded as follows: 



First day, first average, M. AV. Thompson, 8.53^ percent.; second. 

 Dr. Britton. 82^ percent.; third. J. P. Easton, 8I7.4 per cent. 



Second day, first, J. P. Easton, SlJ-s per cent.'; second, M W. 

 Thompson, 8234 per cent.; thlrr). Dr. Britton, VJYs per cent. 



Grand averages were awarded in order as follows: M W 

 Thompson $15, J. P. Easton $10, Dr. Britton $5, Ed Voris $5 w" 

 W. Washburn $5. ' 



J. A. R. Elliott won first average on sparrows, 89 per cent. Dr. 

 Britton won a special prize, a fly-rod, for longest run on sparrows 

 single-barrel shooting, the run being 17, He also won $10, special 

 for longest run on sparrows, both barrels. Following are the
