South New England Riflemen. 



The twenty-fourth annual festival of the united shooting societies 



Monday brought a legion of riflemen, accompanied by their famiUes 

 and invited guests. Germania Hall was the headquarters of the Bund 

 and it was at this point that all the societies rendezvoused for the 

 opening ceremonies preceding the parade to the park, 



The ladies' committee of the Hartford Shooting Society prepared a 

 substantial lunch for the visitors. That their efforts were appreciated 

 goes without staying. At the close of the lunch illayor Hyde addressed 

 the visitors and extended to them the freedom of the city during the 

 festival. 



It was expected that there would be a large delegation of New York 

 riflemen present to take part in the festival, but only six representa- 

 tives from the Empire City put in an appearance. These were Messrs. 

 F. C. Ross, B. Zettler, H. Holges, G, W. Plaisted, M. Krumsieckand F. 

 Fracompfre. Among the many shooters engaged in the coutt- sts were 

 to be seen T. J. Lyon, Collin.sville, Conn.; Geo. Stelze, New Haven- 

 Capt. Bucholtz, Springfield; Capt. Molter, Providence; Z C Talbot 

 Springfield; H. F. Bardwell. Amherst. Of the Hartford folk there were 

 Geo. Schiller, chairman of the general committee of the Hartford So- 

 ciety; Herr Staub, the Slate Comptroller, a member of the society 

 Capt. Julius Huebler. Cuno Helfricht, Chas. Groenke, F, K. Rand and 

 H. M. Pope, anil a ho.st of others whose nauies we could not catch- 



Tho Bu Td \v a- i ejiiv.-i i.tcd by societies fiMiii .i.nsoiiia, Meriden, New 

 Haven, Neu- ijriimu, B iJ^jeport and Ruukvilie, Conn., Holyoke and 

 Springfield, Mass., and Providence. R, I. The honor of kingship on 



the king or honor target fell to the home society (Hartford) in the 

 person of Harry M. Pope, with a score of 69 out of a possible 75. 

 ^ The second prize over the honor target was also captured by one of 

 the Hartford society members, Mr. P. K, Rand, with a score of 62 

 oomts. The premium for the best three tickets shot on Monday was 

 contested for by Messrs, H, M. Pope, F. 0. Ross and T. .T. Lyon, and 

 at the close of the shoot Monday night the result was a tie between 

 Messrs. Ross and Lyon, with Pope close up. 



With the opening of the range on Tuesday morning came a renewal 

 of the struggle for first place on the prize Hst between the above 

 mentioned shooters. By good holding and a Uttle eletnent of luck 

 Mr. Pope succeeded in putting up a score of 73, this score wltii 71 aUd 

 66 gave him a grood comfortable lead for first place. 



From this pomt on to the close Messrs. Ross and Lyon had a nip and 

 tuck race for the second place, and when the last shot was in the tar- 

 get and the shoot brought to a close, the two contestants found them- 

 selves a tie, with scores of 71 70—141 points. 



The scores on the prize target are appended, best f hi-ee tickets to 

 count for first prize, two best tickets for next three prizes and best 

 single ticket for remainder of prizes:

The usual quota of regulars from the ranks of the Zettler Rifle Club

Hartford Notes. 



Among the many interesting features of the Hartford shoot was the 

 shooting of Mr. A. F. BardweU, of the Arnherst (Mass.) Gun Club 

 This gentleman shot a .45-70 Marhn with 70 grains of powder and a 

 fiOO grain lubricated bullet. We witnessed his making the scores of 69 

 and 70 on the prize target, which gave him fourth position on the prize 

 list. That such shooting could be done ^ith this style of a rifle filled 

 us with amazement, which was followed by a desire to interview the 

 shooter and examine his gun and ammiiuition. Upon introducing 

 ourself and expressing a desire to examine his rifle and ammunition 

 the worthy shooter met our advances with the best of grace and pro- 

 ceeded to give us all the information desired both as to his rifle, and 

 himself. Mr. Bardwell is an ex-member of the Massachusetts National 

 Guard, with a record for two years as champion in individual marks- 

 manship. He also holds the record for the best 10 shot (off-hand) 

 score ou the standard American target at 200yds., viz.: 10 10 10 10 10 

 10 10 10 10 9-99. Mr. Bardwell informs us that the above scorp was 

 shot on the Amherst Gun Club range on Decoration Day of the present 

 year, using the repeating rifle and ammunition mentioned. 



Hartford is a city of cyclists. The Hartford shooters have adopted 

 the bicycle as a means of conveyance to and from their range Even 

 the farmers from the outlying districts seem to have adopted this 

 mode of conveyance to and from the city. 



W. W. Tucker, one of the old timers of the days of Hans Becker and 

 others of his class, was a prominent figure in the shooting house dur- 

 ing the festival. M'^hile his holding abflity is not as it used to be, his 

 wit is as keen as ever. 



n. M Pope, of shooting and cycle fame, set out from Hartford on 

 Thursday of last week to take in the World's Fair, and incidentally the 

 International Shooting Festival. 



A snap shot in the direction of the Nathan Hale monument at an 

 early hour on Tuesday morning, would have caught two of the New 

 York riflemen lu the act of drawing inspiration from the shades of 

 Connecticut's heroic son. 



Mine host W. E. Smith, in his new uniform, was just immense. The 

 dinners gotten up by his better-half more so. 



The individual who got away with our gun cover in the shooting 

 house on Tuesday afternoon was considerate in not taking the whole 

 outfit. 



(Pt would he well for the Hartford Rifle Club to enlarge their shoot- 

 ing hoijse ip ordfr to give better accommortat/iongt to visiting rifle 



men. It is a loss to the society and a matter of much annoyance to 

 the shooter to have to whfle away his time in idleness waiting for an 

 opportunity to get bis turn at the target. 



RIFLE NOTES. 



W. MiLTOK Farrow's letter in last week's issue, ih which he hii- 

 mourns the fact that the American soldier must submit to he arinlil 

 with a foreign made rifle is all rlftht from .H patrioiitJ point of VfeH-. 

 But the Soldier ih active service cares but little wHbrfc his guu fiohi.fc^.S 

 frdm so long as it is as good or bettei- thaa that in tlie haneiii of llie 

 mhh on the other picket line. To find your rifle action choked with 

 sand and unfit for use after a long and tedious maneuver over a series 

 of sand hills, for an advantageous position, jjlays havoc with one's 

 sentiment. 



An old shooter, of German extraction, informs us that the German 

 ring target of the past consisted of 2iu. center and lin. rings, but that 

 the improvement in the shooting ability of the riflemen, led to the re- 

 ducing of the rings to and "cjia. This being a fact, W. Milton Far- 

 row need not submit to the moiioi 'ol_\- of a copyright, 



The future success of John li. Ilrowu. and his wire gtin, is a mattel' 

 of mtich interest td the nlatiy friends of this olcf time riflemaii. 



The shooting oi Bmfl Berg at the Columbia International Fe.stival 

 at Chicago is proof that this bid veteran of the butts is in the s\vimyet' 



Thos. Maier, a San Francisco rifleman, was a guest of the New York 

 City Corps, at Washington Park, on Fi-iday last^ 



AVe hear that experiments are to Ije made by some of our local rifle- 

 men, with smokeless povvder in the near futm-e. The results will be 

 a matter of interest to our rifle shooting patrons. 



Don't forget the prize shoot of the NfJwr York Oehtral Ool-ps in 

 Washington Pafk oh Wednesday and Thursday of this week. There 

 will be $400 ih cash prizes for those who make the best scores. 



At a practice shoot of the Hohoken, N. J., riflemen at Union Hill 

 Park last week, 10 shot scores, German target, the following good 

 scores were made: F. Simon 22.5, Emit Berckm'an 214.
