Hudson Rifle Club. 



The fifth annual prize shoot of the Hudson Rifle Club was held at 

 their club house Oct. 23, 24 and 25. It was the most successful and 

 best attended affair the club has ever held. Tbe first and second 

 evenings were devoted principally to the target of honor, which were 

 for members only. At the close of the shootmg on the second even- 

 ing Captain Mahlenbrock offered a few excellent remarks and pre- 

 sented to the tissemblage Mr. Thos. A. Reynolds, king of the festival 

 for 1893. Receiving the king medal he responded that he was glad to 

 )>ave the bonor of tne festival, and furthermore he was delighted to 



be able to say he had competed and won the honor from some of the 

 most noted crack shooters in New Jersey. 



Mr. J J. Evans next responded by stating a brief outline of the 

 club's work during the past five years of its existence and said that 

 there was no reason why it should not be as well developed and strong 

 as other like organizations. He hoped that in the next five years the 

 club would reach such a point with the present elements that it 

 would be second to none in the State, and that it would have a head- 

 quarters and ranges that would be equal, if not better, than any like 

 organization in the country. After a rousing good cheer the captain 

 and treasurer responded with brief speeches, after which members 

 and guests partook of the refreshments awaiting them. 



The following scores were made on the target of honor, possible 75:

The distribution of the prizes on this target was under the direction 

 of Messrs. Middleton and Evans, and they were of the most elaborate 

 ever received by the members of this club. The last evening was, in- 

 deed, well attended, and representatives of most all the well-known 

 clubs were present. Among those noticed were Messrs. Ross, Dorrler 

 and Flach, of the Zettler Rifle Club; Messrs. Rosenbaum, Zahn and 

 Buss, of the Empire Rifle Club: Messrs. Hansen and Hughes, of the 

 Excelsior Rifle Club; Messrg. Chas. Hutch, of the Harlem Rifle Club, 

 and many others. 



Shooting was indeed very lively and spirited, and much rivalry ex- 

 isted between the guests. This was the fifth anniversary of the organ- 

 ization. High scores were the order of the evening, and by referring 

 to the Ust at the end it will be noticed that many tried for the golden 

 apple at the head of the prize list. 



At 11 o'clock Capt. Mahlenbrock announced that a supper was in 

 waiting for the guests, and invited all present to accompany him to 

 the adjoining dining hall and partake of an elaborate repast. Speeches 

 and toasts were spoken. Meanwhile the secretaries were making up 

 the prizes. All m attendance expressed themselves well satisfled, 



having spent the most enjoyable evening the Hudson Eifle Club ever 

 held under its roof. "T''^

 were awarded to the following riflemen;

always be pleased to receive programmes of such prize shoots and 

 festivals and will endeavor to send representatives to return the com- 

 pliments bestowed by their fellow friends at this, their fifth annual 

 festival. 



GreenviUe Rifle Club. 



The active members of the Greenville (N. J.) Rifle Club are keeping 

 hard at work at their practice both in the gallery and on the 200-yard 

 range. 



On Friday night, Oct. 27, the club opened its new half yearly handi- 

 cap series in the gallery range. Fourteen members were present and 

 participated in the shoot. C. Boag and Robidoux each got a handi- 

 cap of 7 points from Dorrler and 3 points from Plaisted. Both Boag 

 and Robidoux, with 7 points added to their scores of 245 and 244, have 

 more than the possible 250. The scratch men are trying to figure out 

 where they will come in. The scores in the gallery competition are 

 appended, 10 shots, possible 250: C. Boag 245, W. H. Robidoux 244, 

 M. Dorrler 240, G. W. Plaisted 239, Geo. Purkess 232, C. Scheeline 282, 

 J. Boag 2:30, W. C. Collins 228, C. Agnew 222, J. Dodds 219, C. H. 

 Chavant 218, John Spahn 216, John Hill 215, H. Mang 178. 



At the Saturday outing of the club in Ambruster's Park seven 

 members were present for practice, but only four entered the 50-shot 

 handicap sweepstake match. This handicap rule has got to be quite 

 popular with the members who have been taking part in it and it will 

 probably be kept up through the winter if the weather is not too 

 severe for outdoor practice. CoUn Boag entered the competition to- 

 day with his new .38-55 Ballard. Inasmuch as this was Boag's first 

 appearance in the handicap match, and that his gun was strange to, 

 him, the handicapper was disposed to be very hberal, granting him 7&. 

 points. Boag started off with the modest score of 184 points; Jiet, 

 wound up his 50 shots with the following 10-shot score: 

 24 23 23 22 20 21 22 23 22 20-220 



The handicapper now thinks that Boag's handicap will have to be-, 

 revised at the next meeting. The scores are appended, 50 shots, Ger 

 man ring target, distance 200yds.:

Ne'w- York City Schuetzen Corps. 



The New York Schuetzen Corps, Capt. C. D. Rehm, brought it» 

 summer season shoot at Washington Park to a close Oct. 27. The; 

 attendance during the season has been rather light, but what is true 

 of the N. Y. City Corps applies also to nearly all of our shooting; 

 societies this season in and about New York. The past year has been 

 a most unsatisfactory one to shooting Interests. But let us hope that 

 the advent of the year 1894 will bring with it a larger measure of 

 prosperity to the business interest of the country. For, with good 

 business assured our sports will prosper of themselves. 



The scores of the members who filled out their scores for the season 

 on the several targets will be found appended. 



In the shooting Friday, R. Busse, was high on the ring target with a 

 score of 213.

Turtle Bay Rifle Club. 



Thu Turtle Bay Rifle Club seem to have fallen into the practice of 

 holding team shoots in their weekly gallery shoots. We are inclined 

 to this idea as being a good one to draw out the members, provided, 

 however, care is used to make up the teams in such a manner as to 

 put each team upon an equal footing as to shooting ability. Any rule- 

 that will give the medium shooter an equal chance with the expert 

 will conduce to the interest of shooting and the club interested. The, 

 active members of the Turtle Bay Club are all enthusiastic in the in- 

 terest of I- fle shooting, and we shall be pleased to note the results of: 

 their practice from week to week during the season. The scores are; 

 appended, three-men teams, 30 shots per man, German ring-target, dis;- 

 tance 20yds.:

Zettler Rifle Club. 



The winter gallery shoot of the Zettler Rifle Club for the season 

 1893-4 was opened on Tuesday, Oct. 24, 13 members took part in the 

 competition. The club has put up 15 prizes, amounting to $200. This 

 amount of cash should have the effect to draw out a large number of 

 the experts of the club. On the opening shoot we were pleased to see. 

 that old rifleman John H. Brown present as one of the contestants. ' 

 His score of 244 shows that Mr. Brown, while up in years, has a large, 

 surplus of shooting ability left in him yet. 



Tne champion medal, a trophy which has been put up by the club , 

 for a number of years for the best 10-shot score on each shooting 

 night, will this season come up under new rules. A bullseye target 

 will be open for the members on each practice night, upon which every ' 

 member upon filhng out his scores will be allowed to shoot one shot,, 

 and at the end of the season the member having the best center shotr, 

 will become the possessor of the much-coveted trophy. In the mean-, 

 while the trophy will be subject to the fir st best 10-shot score each 

 week during the winter. On this occasion the first best score was a^ 

 tie between Messrs. F. C. Ross and C. Percival, each having made 244( 

 out of a possible 250. The honors for the best score for the evening 

 were divided between Messrs. Holges and Plaisted with 247 each. The 

 latter had a fine score of 9 centers (25s) and one 22. The scores are! 

 appended. 10 shots, possible 250. distance 25yds.: H. Holges 247, G. W,
