Hudsons and Puritans. 



New York, March 21. — The return match between Hudson and Puri- 

 tan rifle clubs took place at the ranges of the latter, 29 Main street, 

 Newark, N. J., Monday, March 20. For the second time the home 

 club met with defeat and lost by ,50 points. The Hudsons seemed to 

 be in remarkably good form, as only one man scored below the 100 

 mark. Conditions, 28yds., 12-ring target. It was thought early in the 

 evening that the Hudson Club would be short-handed, it was on ac- 

 count of a delay of the electric cars, which duly brought the full com- 

 plement of the Hudson team. Mr. C. E. Bird, wlio has been making 

 lowest scores in the last few matches, made top score of 109 out of 

 120 with 5 center shots. Geo. W. Graf followed close with 109, but only 

 3 centers. 



Mr. C. Weiler, of the Puritan Club, scored the highest of the even- 

 ing, making 110, and was loudly applauded when finished. 



Capt. Mahlenbrock made a wager with Mr. Braun on the totals of 

 those two gentlemen, and resulted in a loss for the Capitain, who duly 

 quenched the thirst of the thirsty crowd. 



Although the Pui-itans have lost two consecutive matches, still they 

 wish to shoot the third; and the arrangements are complete to shoot 

 at the Hudson's ranges in a few weeks. 



There was also a match arranged between two Essex county and 

 two Hudson county barbers, each man to fire 100 shots, one match to 

 be shot on Newark range and one on the Marion range; refreshments 

 are to be served at each match, and the team losing pays for the said 

 refreshments. 



After the match the Puritan Club entertained to a flue collation and 

 wound up with songs, recitations, stump speaking, etc., and all 

 seemed delighted with the good time they had spent in the home of 

 the Puritans.

TwBNTY-SE-^TiN gentlemen sat down to the dinner of tlie Canoeists' 

 Club at the Arena on March 11. Among them Messrs. Whitlock, Nor- 

 ton Scliieffelin, C. J. Stevens and Lake, of the New YorkC. C. ; Dun- 

 nell and Wilkins, of the Brooklyn; Palmer, of thelanthe; Dorland, 

 Schuyler, Ellis, Rome and Crowell, of the Ailington; the Messrs. Grif- 

 fin and Mr. O'Shea, ot the Knickerbocker • Mr. Goodsell, of the Yon- 

 kers; Mr. Elliott, of the Mai'ine and Field; Mr. Jackson, of the Cres- 

 cents; Mr. McClees, of the Rutherford, and Messrs. Peebles and Bei-ry, 

 of the Bayonne C. C. 



The dinner was an exceptionally good one, even for the Arena, and 

 the smoker afterward developed po.st-prandial talent on the part of a 

 number of the speakers that should not be suffered to he dormant. 

 President Whitlock, of the Canoeists' Club, presided during the earlier 

 part of the evening, and introduced a new featm-e into the usual con- 

 duct of such affairs b.y substituting another presiding officer for the 

 latter half of the proceedings. Vice-Commodore Lake, of the Atlantic 

 Division, took the chair for this portion of the entertainment. 



A representative of each club was called upon, the intention being 

 to require him to either make a speech, sing a song or dance a jig. As 

 it turned out, the last alternative might as well have never been 

 thought of, for there was no occasion for resorting to it, though 

 P. might have been called upon to '-do tlie trick'\had he not made 

 \m inljluBhing what his speech lacked in words. 



The following men spoke forp heir respective clubs: Messrs. Elliott, 

 Dunnell, Dorland, Palmer, me]-.ees, GrllTin. .Tackson and Whitlock. 

 Commodore Norton, editor of (Jutivai and Our Bob, Genial Bob. Happy 

 Bob Wilkins, without whom no gathering of canoeists is complete, 

 were the extra numbers on the programme. 



In consideration of a handsome silver-backed clothes brush which 

 was presented to him by some of his male admirer.^, Schuyler Sehief- 

 feUn told how to do the "lady act" at a meet. It consisted in nothing 

 more than loosening the screws around the mast-plate of your canoe, 

 before entering a race, the 1 esult being a frightful (sic) catastrophe 

 which involves exemption from all the other races, and earns for you 

 unlimited sympathy from all the fail- ones, to whose comfort and 

 pleasure (sic) you iuay devote your society and remaining energies 

 dm-ing the balance of your stay in camp. 



Commodore Dunnell got all "balled up" in trying to explain away 

 the impressions left by a few "telling" remarks from ElUott of the 

 Marine and Field, and the latter as usual grew so enthusiastic over the 

 programmes for the Marine and Field and Atlantic Division races that 

 if he does all he says he will bankrupt both of these institutions. He 

 proposes sending to every boat house in the vicinity of New York, and 

 gathering up the canoeists, canoes, bag and hammock, and taking 

 t>iera to the M. & P. house, where and at the N. Y C. C.'s neigbboring 

 home they are to be cared for and shipped after the races direct to the 

 Atlantic Division meet a*^ Captain's Islaiid,5the cruisei-s, hims"ir among 

 the number, to debark after they get iuto the Sound, and cruise the 

 rest of the wav to the island. 



The three energetic canoeists who lately, by their own unaided 

 efforts, got up the finest canoeists' dance ever held in the city— Messrs. 

 Palmer, Dunnell and Holbrook —donated a substantial surplus from 

 that affair to the exchequer ot the Canoeists' Club, and the first- 

 named gentleman introduced a quintette which sang so well together 

 that it was impossible to hear but one voice. O'Shea, who afterward 

 demonstrated that he was something of a singer himself, said the voice 

 belonged to Crowell, and indeed there were some indications that he 

 was this time speaking the truth; but Seluiyler, who ^^-as ('mentioned 

 as) one of the quintette, declared that O'Sliea was only jealous. Mr. 

 Jackson, of the Crescents, gave a li\ e]y account of an aUigatoi- hunt in 

 Florida, where 'gators are not nearlj- as thick as they are in the Brook- 

 lyn C. C. After that the taUiing and singing grew so I'romiseuous that 

 no one could keep track of it.

RIFLE NOTES. 



It looks now as though the coming season was going to develop 

 quite a crop of new shooters and a considerable boom m rifle shooting. 



Although the programme of the Chicago Schuetzen Vei'ein for the 

 Columbia prize shoot, to be held at Chicago this summer, is a huge 

 disappointment to the shooting fraternity at large, there is some sat- 

 isfaction in the belief that the distribution of the programmes of this 

 festival has had a tendency to arouse new interest among many of 

 the older shooters and friends of this sport, and also to awaken a 

 desire in many others who are as yet new to the pleasures that are 

 to be derived from the use of the rifle. Early last winter there was a 

 meeting of delegates representing twenty-one of New York's prom- 

 inent shooting societies, This meeting was called for the purpose of 

 coming to a decision as to whether the Eastern societies should par- 

 ticipate in the Coltmibian Festival or not. The result of the meeting 

 showed a.n almost unanimous desire to take part, provided the Chi- 

 cago Schuetzen Verein would modify its prospectus as then submitted 

 so as to make the time of holding the festival from one to three weeks 

 continuous instea.d of two days per week for six months as proposed. 

 The only modification that the Chicago Schuetzen Verein saw fit to 

 make in order to meet the views of the New York shooters was to re- 

 duce the length of the festival to three months, or from June 1 to Sept. 

 1, two days per week. This modification not meeting the views of the 

 New Yorkers, interest in the Chicago festival lapsed. We now learn 

 that the interest engendered by this committee has had its effect; and 

 that a call has been issued for a meeting to beheld to-morrow (Friday) 

 night, the 24th inst., at 12 St. Mark's place. The purpose of the meet- 

 ing is understood to be to form an organization of all the societies in 

 and about New York, and in the year 1894 have in New York a grand 

 shooting festival that will be a credit to the Empire City. 



The summer practice shooting of most of the shooting societies be^ 

 gins in April. 



The Excelsior Club opened its season yesterday at Armbruster's 

 Park, Greenville, N. J. 



The Independent New York Corps, Capt. Wm. V. Weber, will open 

 its season this year on April 29 at Washington Park. This corps ia in 

 a flourishing condition. Its membership includes some of New York's 

 most expert marksmen. 



The New York Schuetzen Corps, Capt. Henry Offerman, opens its 

 season on April 15 at the Union Hill Park. 



The well known Zettler Club will begin its season on April 9 at Wis- 

 sel's Cypres HUls Park, Mr. Wissel is giving his grounds an extra fur- 

 bish in anticipation of an increased business this season. The Zettler 

 Club will hold a spring festival here on May 14 and 15, in which $400 in 

 cash prizes will be divided among the lucky winners. 



The New York City Corps, Capt. Chris Rehm, wUl open its season's 

 shoot on April 28 at Washington Park. 



The New York Central Corps, Capt. Adblph Richter, wiU begin its 

 season on April 23 at Washington Park. 



Messrs. Bird and Fischer. 



Replyiko to the communication published in your issue of March 16 

 attacking the note previously published by the "Eagle," I may say 

 that the article was not intended to create any ill feeling, but was 

 confidentially given to me bj^ good authority. The inclosed clipping 

 appeared in the Newark paper, and fully tallies with what was written, 

 namely: "It is rumored: The members of the Miller Rifle Club made 

 a statement on Christmas Day that it was almost an impossibihty to 

 get ten men together to shoot a match, and wlien a challenge was sent 

 by the Hudson Rifle Club for seven men it was not accepted. Instead 

 of having friendly feeling a.nd participate in friendly match shoot- 

 ing, the Miller Rifle Club only shoots for money, which is proper at 

 times, but to make a practice of it, would say that it is a poor way to 

 keep iip the interest of rifle shooting, and is nothing more than out 

 and out gambling, and if the rifle clubs intend to make it a money 

 making scheme and not a manly sport it has always been considered, 

 then I would say that the sooner the ranges are closed of all clubs the 

 better, as it would be better for organizations of this kind' to disband 

 than to degrade the sport of rifle shooting by making it a gambling 

 sport." 



It is for this reason that I wUl not accept Mr, E. Fischer's challenge, 

 as he has previously refused to shoot a match with me, and I fail to 

 understand why he' now wishes to meet me. I trust this wUl prove 

 satisfactory. ' C. E. Bird, Hudson Rifle Club.
