FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Jan. 20, 1894. 



Jersey men at the Targets. 



The weekly handicap shoot at Armbruster's Schuetzen Park on 

 Saturday of last week brought together quite a good-sized crowd of 

 riflemen and friends of the shoot. The attendance at these meetings 

 is growing larger from week to week, showing that there is an 

 increased interest in rifle matters among the Hudson county riflemen. 

 This week, Jan. 20, the 50-shot match between Capt. Hansen, of the 

 the Excelsior Club, and Plaisted, of the Greenville Club, will be shot 

 off on this range. President Walther, of the Zettler Club, is interested 

 in this match and has promised to be on hand to witness the contest. 

 In the 50- shot handicap match shot to-day there were seven entries, 

 Messrs. Dorrler, Hansen, Plaisted, Collins, C. Boag, Chavant and 

 Scheeline participating. The old champion, Dorrler, was in fairly 

 good form and put up a good score. Capt. Hansen seemed to be in 

 good trim. Plaisted's match with Busse the day before seemed to 

 have exhausted his nerve force; his score was away below his average. 

 Chavant made some brilliant scores, but his total for the 50 shots was 

 hardly up to his average. William C. Collins, with his new Ballard, 

 showed up well, and with a little better acquaintance with his gun will 

 be heard from later.

Plaisted vs. Busse. 



The 100 shot rifle match between Geo. W. Plaisted of Greenville, 

 N. J., and R. Busse of New York City, which has been looked forward 

 to by our local riflemen with feelings of interest for some weeks, was 

 shot off on Friday of last week in Washington Park. 



There was a large gathering of exponents of the rifle to witness the 

 contest, and many of them had their pocket-books well lined hoping 

 to turn an honest penny. Prominent among the many were to be 

 seen Gus Zimmerman, Burner Walther. Chas! Zettler, John Hill, Gus 

 Nowak, H. D. Muller, C H. Chavant, Geo. Schlicht, Wm. Rosenbaum 

 and others. The conditions of the match called for 100 shots each, 

 Scbutzen rules, $50 a side. Barney Walther was made referee and 

 stake holder, and Gus Nowak official scorer. The contest was booked 

 to open at 10:30 A. M. but it was past 1 o'clock before the referree put 

 in an appearance. Another half hour was lost in perfecting the details 

 connected with the match. The weather was clear and cold, and the 

 large stove in the shooting house was kept in active work to supply 

 the necessary warmth to keep the shooters and visitors comfortable. 

 At 11:30, after each contestant had signified his readiness to begin the 

 match, referee Walther called time and ordered each man to his 

 allotted target. 



Busse was the first to score, making a 21 ; Plaisted followed with 22, 

 The first 10-shot string was 213 for Plaisted and 205 for Busse. giving 

 Plaisted a lead of 8 points. The second string Busse gained 4 points. 

 On the third string he rained 23 more, and on the fourth 9 points 

 more, making at the end of the fourth string or fortieth shot a lead of 

 28 points in favor of Busse. At this point there were signs of a seri- 

 ous panic in the ranks of the Jerseyman. The fifth r..und 

 showed a slight change, Plaisted cutting down the lead one point. 

 The match was now half through and Busse was 27 points in the lead. 

 With the two men equally matched a lead sufficient to forecast a vic- 

 tory for Busse, and yet there was no betting. In the sixth string 

 Plaisted let out a link, putting up 226 against Busse's 214. In the 

 seventh string Plaisted let loose a litcle more reserve, making 224 

 against Busse's 209. At this point Busse's lead of 27 points disap- 

 peared and the two contestants stood on even terms. Plaisted's 

 eighth, ninth and tenth strings were 217. 216, 210, against Busse's 194, 

 206, 203. giving Plaisted the match with a margin of 46 points. Scores:

Hudson Rifle Club. 



On Monday evening, Jan. 8, the Hudson Rifle Club held its annual 

 meeting for the election of officers. There was a large number of 

 members present, and after all the business had been transacted and 

 reports read the election took place. Several important resolutions 

 were discussed and adopted. The club no longer has the offices of 

 president, vice-president and lieutenant to fill, as it was decided to do 

 away with these and to have the captain act as chairman at all meet- 

 ings in order that no discord may arise. A shooting master was 

 elected to take the place of lieutenant and it is an office which the 

 club has long been in need of. Three committees heretofore attend- 

 ing to all the necessary business of the club were honorably discharged 

 and a board of directors consisting of five of the club's most reliable 

 members were elected. This completely changes the former mode of 

 working and has brought things to a minimum point, so that few will 

 do more satisfactory work than many did before the change. 



The election was full of life and great rivalry existed in several of 

 the offices, but resulted in the re-election of nearly all the old officers, 

 as follws: Captain, Henry Mahlenbrock- Shooting Master, Henry E. 

 Boddey; Cor. and Rec. Sec'y, Charles E. Bird; Fin. Sec'y, Charles 

 Staderman; Treasurer, John Rebhan; Sergeant-at-Arms, Joseph 

 Buch. Board of Directors— George W. Morgau, Thomas A Reynolds, 

 A. Braun, Sr., Samuel Middleton and Captain Mahlenbrock. 



Considerable business was transacted, and after the treasurer's 

 report was submitted, which showed a good balance, it was announced 

 by the treasurer that the club had started the year 1894 free and clear 



of any debt. After the close of the meeting several team matches 

 were shot and the boys enjoyed a jolly, pleasant and profitable 

 evening. 



The f ollowing best scores of 10 shots were made during the even- 

 ing: O. Hutch 248, H. Hansent 247, H. Mahlenbrock 244, J Rebhan 

 244, C. E. Bird 241. A. Braun, Sr., 242. T. A. Reynolds 240, H. E. Boddy 

 240, C. Haderman 238, S. Middleton 237. T. Pfiffenberger 235, J. Buck 

 235, G. W. Morgan 230, C. Schleiermacher 219, H. Hoersch 221. 



_ „ Charles E. Bird, Sec'y. 



P. S.— Captam Mahlenbrock would like to hear from all the Hudson 

 county rifle clubs in regard to hold a tournament before the winter 

 season. 



Port Chester. 



Port Chester, Jan. 8.— The Port Chester Rifle Club started a 50-shot 

 match for the club championship several weeks ago, but every Satur- 

 day a stormy day prevented the match from coming off until Dec. 23, 

 when they managed to shoot out 30 shots before darkness set in. It 

 was then agreed to finish the match on the succeeding Saturday. Only 

 one member appeared on that day and shot out his 20 shots, but as this 

 was the only member present the scores did not count, and it was 

 again postponed to Jan. 6, on which day the remaining 20 shots were 

 shot off. The leading member in the first dav's race was in decidedly 

 bad form and barely missed losing his scalp. But such are the ups and 

 downs of rifle shooting. The following are the scores:

RIFLE NOTES. 



The Harlem Rifle Club held its annual meeting on Jan. 5. The new 

 board of officers are as follows: Charles Hutch, Captain: C. H. Den- 

 neger, Lieutenant; E. W, Busby, Shooting Master; J. H. Boy ken, 



Eastside vs. Columbia. 



The Columbia Rifle Club, of Patersan, N. J., shot a team match 

 against the Eastside Club last week for a purse of $40 a side and the 

 championship of Passaic county. The two clubs have come together 

 before in team contests, and it has generated considerable rivalry 

 among members and friends of the two organizations as to which has 

 the best team. In the last contest, shot in October, the Columbia 

 team won on the small margin of 10 points. In the last match, which 

 was shot on Saturday of last week on the Bunker Hill range, each club 

 put forward its best men. There was a large gathering of the friends 

 of the two teams, and the interest in the contest was kept at a white 

 heat until the last shot was fired. The Columbia team won by a good 

 margin and are now hailed as the champions of the county. The range 

 shot ov»r was 100yds., German 20-ring target, 10 shots per man, possi- 

 ble 200. Scores:

Winans Trophy Contest. 



Dr. Samuel J. Fort, of Ellicott City, Md., came forward last month 

 with the following challenge: 



"Ellicott City, Md., Dec 20.— I hereby challenge Mr. W. E. Petty, 

 present holder of the Winans Trophy, to shoot me a match for that 

 trophy, Feb. 6. Match to be shot under rules formulated by Forest 

 and Stream and at a place to be selected by the representative of that 

 paper. Sam'l J. Fort, M.D." 



The challenge was promptly accepted by Mr. Petty, and the match 

 will take place, on Tuesday evening, Feb. 6, at the gallery 12 St. Mark's 

 place. 



This will be Dr. Fort's first appearance in a contest of this kind, but 

 he has long been interested in pistol and revolver shooting, and is a 

 well-known writer for the sporting press on subjects connected with 

 hunting and small arms. 



Mr. Petty is shooting in good form at present, though he was re- 

 cently somewhat out of trim, as a result of experiments with smoke- 

 less powders, and the match promises to be one of unusual interest. 



For the benefit of any out-of-town sportsmen who wish to be pres- 

 ent, it may be stated that St. Mark's place takes its start at the junc- 

 tion of Eighth street with Third avenue, and is conveniently reached 

 by the Third Avenue Elevated (Ninth street station).

— population i„ 



district to draw from this club should be one of the strongest on Man- 

 hattan Island. 



Our Paterson correspondent informs us that rifle interests in Passaic 

 county are booming. In his last communication William Dutcher says 

 that a match is on between Dutcher and Dietrich on the one side and 

 James Irons and Robert McCullough on the other, 100 shots per man, 

 on the Bunker Hill range, for a liberal purse. 



While the Plaisted-Busse match was going on last Friday. Charles 

 Zettler, being in an enthused condition, challenged the champion, 

 Zimmerman, for a 10-shot race then and there. Gus. being in an 

 accommodating spirit, accepted the "defi," and the match started. 

 The scores are as follows: 



Zimmerman 23 27 23 22 22 22 24 24 21 21—227 



Zettler 21 15 23 18 24 19 24 17 16 16—193 



At a meeting of the Our Own Club, of Hoboken, on Monday last the 

 club voted to enter a team in the Hudson County Gallery League. 



The Greenville Club instructed its shooting committee to confer 

 with the delegates of the other clubs who may desire to form a 

 league. 



We have received many inquiries of late from riflemen interested 

 in our experiments with nitro powder in the rifle. For the time being 

 we are not in position to satisfy the longings of our inquiring 

 brothers, for the reason that thus far our experiments have been 

 limited to a few samples of powder that have as yet not been put 

 upon the American market and the quantity supplied to us has been 

 of such a limited quantity that no definite results have been gained. 

 We are now waiting for samples that were promised many weeka 

 since. When these come to hand we shall go ahead with our experi- 

 ments and the results of our labors will appear from time to time in 

 these columns. 



The Hansen— Plaisted match comes off at Armbruster's Park this 

 afternoon and all lovers of the sport who can spare the time should 

 be on hand to see the sport. President B. Walther, of the Zettler 

 Club, will be master of ceremonies. 



Many of our rifle shooting patrons are inclined to the belief that 

 "Diamond Walt" and his ,22-ealiber has had altogether too much 

 space in the columns of Forest and Stream. Our local gallery 

 shooters, many of whom are expert with the .22-caliber and the .22 

 short ammunition at the distances for which this cartridge is intended, 

 at times find it difficult to keep 10 shots in a 2in. bullseye at a distance 

 of 100ft. with the machine rest; and when they read the vaporings of 

 some crank whose situation is such that it is an almost impossibility 

 to get fresh ammunition from the factory, and who sets up claims for 

 such ammunition as can be picked up at the nearest crossroads store, 

 that can hardly be accomplished with the larger calibers, there is a 

 unanimous desire of those vtrsed in the use of factory ammunition to 

 sit upon the individual. 



The three days gallery tournament of the Zettler Rifle Club will be 

 opened on the club ranges, No. 219 Bowery, this afternoon: Any .22- 

 caliber rifle, 25-ring target, tickets 35 cents for 3 shots, 3 tickets for $1, 

 tickets unlimited, but only one prize obtainable by one shooter, best 

 two tickets to count. Bullseye target, open to all-comers, 3 shots 50 

 cents, 4in. bullseye, entries unlimited. Premiums— For the most flags, 

 $3; second most flags, $2. Shooting will commence each day at 1 

 o'clock P. M. and close at 12 o'clock P. M. Intermission from 6 to 7 

 P. M. Ring target will close at 11 P. M. Bullseye target, at 10 P. M. 

 Shooting Committee: Gebhard Krauss, Chairman; R. Busse, H. 

 Holges, H. D. Muller, M. B. Engel. B. Zettler, shooting master. 



Our local riflemen are patiently awaiting the final denouement in 

 the Dorrler — Ross matter, a match is the only panacea for their 

 highly congested interested in these two experts. 



R. Busse of the New York City Corps, has instructed us to present 

 his compliments to Ignatz Marten of the Williamsburg Schuetzen 

 Corps, and inform him (Marten) that Mr. Busse would be pleased to 

 shoot him a match of 50 or 100 shots for a moderate stake, distance 

 200yds. 



Charley Zettler has a slight attack of match fever, and is said to be 

 looking for some shooter in his class. Some one remarked that 

 Charles would probably have to go outside his class to find an easy 

 mark. 



California Rifle Shooting 1 . 



San Francisco, Jan. 1.— "Diamond Walt" is indeed a diamond of the 

 first water if he can do some of those fantastic things with his .22 

 short mentioned in your issue of Dec. 23. The purity of the air of 

 South Dakota must be unparalleled. Ozone must have replaced the 

 oxygen of the air in that delectable country. I am afraid "D. W." in 

 such atmosphere as I breathe would lose money on a wager that he 

 could put two shots, instead of eight, out of ten, off-hand, in an 8-iDch 

 bullseye at 303yds., with his .22— and he might lop off those thi ee odd 

 yards. 



The facsimile of your 50-shot score made with nitro black pow- 

 der, shows a very fine bunching of shots. I earnestly hope for the 

 quick advent of the day when a clean, smokeless, even-shooting powder 

 will be furnished riflemen for target work. 



The series of matches for the possession of the Siebe all-comers' 

 medals for 1893 closed yesterday. Fifty shots on three separate occa- 

 sions, or 150 in all, were fired by each competitor, on 25-ring target. 

 Winners (final) are as follows: Military (Springfield) rifle, O. Meyer, 

 3,005 rings; any rifle, Geo. Helm, 3.253; pistol, Col S. I. Kellogg, 3,314. 

 All-around, Ed Hovey, who made with pistol 3,280, with any rifle 3,162, 

 and with Springfield 2,914— a very good all-round score. Roeel. 



The Manhattan Athletic! Club Shooting Range* 



This range at Forty-fifth street and Madison avenue was opened 

 Jan. 2, and since then has been well patronized by the students of 

 Columbia College and many of the crack shots of Conlin's old gallery, 

 corner of Thirty-first street and Broadway, and in the evening many 

 of the ladies who belong to the bowling clubs who meet at the club 

 house in the evenings. Some of them shoot remarkably well and 

 promise to become crack shots. The best score made so far was by 

 John Blydenburgh, full score at long range, 10 bullseyes. This is the 

 first one made. 



Several of the revolver shots will try their skill shortly and some 

 good shooting may be expected. All lovers of rifle and revolver are 

 cordially invited to pay a visit and try their skill. J. S. Conlin.
