Riflemen vs. Bowlers. 



A novel match took place last week in Jersey City between a rifle 

 club team and a bowling club team. The contest was made up under 

 the novel rules of one match on the alley and one in the gallery, the 

 total scores of the two to count. The match was bet ween teams of 

 the Greenville Rifle Club and the Catholic Club. The first contest 

 was on Wednesday night on the Catholic Club alleys. The riflemen 

 went into the bowling contest with a confident faith in their ability to 

 center the alley and down the pins, but when tried to send the balls 

 down center of alley they found that the balls rolled upon an eceen- 

 trictbat seemed to carry many of them into the gutter, much to the 

 disgust of the perspiring shooters, the result was that the Catholic 

 team won the bowling match by a margin of 418 points (pins). 

 - The return match was shot off on the gallery ranges of the Green - 

 ville Clnb on Saturday night. The members and friends of the Catholic- 

 team were promptly on hand and filled with a zeal to try and hold 

 their bowling margin or at least enough of it to leave them a surplus 

 to their credit on the grand total. The bowlers, however, found it 

 somewhat difficult to make their bullets and the targets connect, one 

 member making a clean score of goose eggs. The result was that the 

 Greenville team won the rifle match with a margin of 1,123 points or a 

 net margin on the two matches of 705 points 



The result, of this novel match is that the Catholic Club now express 

 its intention to build a set of ranges iu its fine club house on Jersey 

 avenue and educate a team of riflemen. Should the club carry out 

 its intentions in this matter it will, no doubt, be successful, for it has 

 in its bowling members some good material cut of which to make 

 good riflemen. After the close of the match the Greenville Club en- 

 tertaindthe visitors in a liberal manner and sent them home rilled 

 with that respect toward the Greenville Club which is born of good 

 fellowship. Scores:

Denver's New Year's Shoot. 



Dwnver, Col.. Jan. 3.— Editor Forest and Stream: The third annual 

 prize shoot, which was the opening of the 1891 rifle competitions under 

 the auspices of the Denver Rifle Club, was a complete success. Marks- 

 men were present from different parts of the State, and from 9 on till 

 dark the ransre was packed with shooters. Nothing was lacking on 

 the part of the management, and the firing continued smoothly as fast 

 as the shooters could load and fire. Including preparatory shots, the 

 score sheet shows that over 1,100 shots in all were fired. The prize 

 list contained over seventy valuable prizes. The match was open to 

 everybody. No marksman could win but one prize, and that was deter- 

 mined by his score, the highest score taking first choice of one prize 

 on the entire prize list, and the subsequent shooters in rotation accord- 

 ing to their scores. Three shots, off-hand, distance 200yds., American 

 standard, any gun sight or trigger pull:

RIFLE NOTES. 



President B. Walther is reported to have received a letter this week 

 from M. Dorrler, of New Jersey, authorizing Walther to make a match 

 for him with F. C. Ross, for a 100 shot match to be shot on the Cypress 

 Hills range, three weeks from signing articles. Stakes from one to 

 two hundred dollars a side Ibis ought to bring about a match for 

 the Cypress Hill range is Ross's favorite ground. 



There is an effort being made to establish a league among the rifle 

 clubs iu Hudson Co., N. J. We trust that the Jersey reformers will 

 succeed in forming a league that will add a little life" to many of the 

 clubs, who at the present time are iu what Mr. Dana would describe as 

 innocuous desuetude This leads us to inquire as to what our Newark 

 gallery shooters are doing these long winter nights, it is many moons 

 since we have heard anything from the many ciubs who used in make 

 this city the centre in gallery shooting during the winter months. 



The Busse-Plaisted match, one hundred shots each, will be shot off on 

 Washington Park range on Friday of this week. It is expected that 

 many of our prominent experts will be on hand to witness the contest, 



L. P. Hansen, of the Excelsior Club of Jersey city, is matched to 

 shoot Plaisted, a 50 shot race on Saturday. January, 20th, on the 

 Greenville Schuetzen Park range. 



President B. Walther, of the Zettler Rifle Club, was a visitor at the 

 new club bouse of the Greenville Rifle Club on Saturday night. He 

 was highly pleased with the arrangemeut of thehouse and its ranges 

 and he prophesied a successful future for this young m 3 .v-r>.,V 

 club. 



We learn that Win. Hayes has returned home from his visit to the 

 South very much improved in health. 



Brother Hough's statement in last week's issue that the W indy City 

 had gallery shooters who were game enough to put up their lucre to 

 the extent of from f59 to §300 in a 100-shot gallery match has crea ted 

 a little interest among our local shooters. They have suggested to 

 our rifle scribe, Plaisted, that if the ambitious Chicago shooters were 

 to give out something in the way of a challenge that was bona fide 

 all wool and a yard wide, the New Yorkers would try a piece of it 

 What do you say, Chicago? Business in New York with the riflemen 

 at the present time is very dull and they are inclined to accept most 

 anything that will break the monotony of their present surroundings 



Zettler Rifle Club. 



The first monthly meeting of the Zettler Club for the year 1894 was 

 held at headquarters on Jan. 2. There was a light attendance, for 

 which the holidays were no doubt responsible. The shooting of the 

 members after the close of the meeting was of that quality usual to 

 these experts. H. Holges got the champion medal on the excellent 

 score of 247 on his first entry, and he also divided honors for the best 

 10 shot score with R. Buese, 247 each. Scores: 



Champion medal: H. Holges 247, R. Busse 2l5, F. O. Ross 244, B. Wal- 



Waltger 245. P. F. Sen out fc 245. G. Nowak 216, M, B. F.agel 245, B. Zet-

Winchester 1894 Reloader. 



The Winchester Arms Co. send us a description of their 1894 model 

 reloading tool, designed to make more easy the reloading and resizing 

 of large sporting ammunition. By a strong lever, a motion (not more 

 than .03 of an inch) is imparted to' the slide. The cartridge is contained 

 in the die A, as shown in the cut. The die screws into the frame. 

 The shell, with its charge, and bullet, is put together by hand and put 

 into the die A. The die is screwed into the frame, as far as it will go 

 readily. A motion of the lever toward the die will force the cartridge 

 into the die through a short distance. The backward motion of the 

 lever loosens the cartridge in the die and withdraws it partially. The 

 die can then be screwed up throngh a part of one lurn. The repeated 

 motion of the lever and continued screwing up of the die bring the 

 cartridge its full length into the die, inserts the bullet to the right 



distance, crimps the cartridge around the bullet, and reduces the shell 

 to its original size, so that it will go freely into the gun. 



With this tool it will be found to easily reload the largest cartridges, 

 compressing the powder, putting the bullet to place, and reducing the 

 shell on the outside to its original form. By the reverse motion, that 

 is, by lifting the handle of the lever away from the die, the slide is 

 lifted, and the cartridge, by means of the extractor, is drawn a slight 

 distance out of the die. When the handle is returned to the die, the. 

 latter can be unscrewed a corresponding distance. Another motion of 

 the lever draws the cartridge still further out of the die, and with a 

 few motions it becomes so loosened in the die that the latter may be 

 easily unscrewed. As soon as the cartridge is loosened in the die, the 

 extractor loses its grip, and the die and cartridge are taken from the 

 frame together. This tool, new in principle, permits, with the use of 

 little force, the mosi exact reloading, including the resizing of the 

 shell. A measure, giving the exact quantity of powder, set of bullet 

 molds, charge cup and primer extractor accompany the tool. The 

 tool weighs two pounds. It will be made to load the following sizes of 

 amunition: .32-40, .38-55, .38-56, .40-65, .40-82, .45-70-405, .45-70-500, 

 .45-90, .50-110 Express. 



All ties divided unless otherwise reported; 



if you want your shoot to be announced here 

 send In notice like the following:

Sportsmen throughout the East are clamoring for a chance to wit- 

 ness a match between E. D. Fulford and J. A. R. Elliott, who have 

 never met one another before tbe traps in this section. The furthest 

 East they came during their series of five matches was Williamsport, 

 Pa. Fulford is a member of the Newark Gun Club, and his clubmates 

 are anxious to see such a contest as above take place on the club 

 grounds at Erb's. Elliott, is also hungering for an opportunity to pull 

 even with his old opponent, who during the series referred to won four 

 matches to Elliott's one. Elliott desires to shoot in the East, where 

 business will detain him for several months. He stands ready to 

 arrange one or more matches at 100 live birds per man for $250 or 

 more a side each match, and the sooner they are arranged the better 

 will he be pleased. When Fulford was in this section a few weeks ago 

 Elliott approached him on the subject, when Fulford said he would not 

 be able to go into a contest until February. Fulford also preferred to 

 shoot in Chicago, but to this Elliott declined to agree to a trip West, 

 saying that he considered the East good enough to shoot in a=s long as 

 both men were at hand, and that he saw no sensible reason for making 

 a thousand-mile journey in order to shoot. Whether they will come 

 ; i.l:er r:<- not remains to be seen, but we are inclined to the belief 

 that the public will have an opportunity of gauging their respective 

 skill before many weeks have elapsed. 



The fourth shoot for the medals of the Riverside Gun Club, was held 

 at Red Bank, N. J., Jan. 5. The contest was at 25 bluerock targets, 

 from 5 traps, unknown angles. Oscar Hesse was high with 23, usiug 

 Walsrode powder as a matter of course. E. M. Cooper broke 22, 

 Albert Ivins 20, E. Throckmorton 19, T. Davis 18, L. S. Campbell 18, 

 John Cooper 17, J S. Hoey 17. In a 5-rnan team shoot at 10 targets, 

 rapid-fire, the scores were: Teaml: E. M Cooper 9, W. M Little 8, 

 E. Throckmorton 9, Oscar Hesse 6, H. C. White 2; total 34 Team 2: 

 Albert Ivins 9, John Cooper 6, J. S. Hoey 6, T. Davis 4, E. Garnsey 4; 

 total 29. Sweep at 10 singles: Hesse 8, E. M. Cooper 7, Ivins, Hoey and 

 Throckmorton, 5 each; Campbell 4. At 5 singles: Throckmorton, John 

 Cooper and Ivins, 4 each; E. M. Cooper 3, Hoey and Hesse, 2 each. 



The Maplewood (N. J.) Gun Club enjoyed it* annual dinner at 

 Smalley's South Orange Hotel on Friday evening, Dec. 30. there being 

 a goodly number of members present. Speeches and singing followed 

 and afterward came the election of officers for 1894, this resulting as 

 follows: President, .J. Warren Smith; Treasurer, T. B. Smith; Record- 

 ing Secretary, Walter G. Laidliw; Corresponding Secretary, O. L. 

 Yeomans; Manager, D. W. Van Iderstine; Field Captain, William 

 Drake, Governors, Samuel B. Tillou, J. Siggins, Wiekliffe J. Smith, 

 William Drake, Albert Parry, J. W. Fisher, D. W. Van Iderstine, O. L. 

 Yeomans and Walter G. Laidlaw. The club is in fine condition finan- 

 cially, as well as numerically, and a lively season is contemplated. 



A private live bird shoor was held at Belleville, N. J , on Tuesday, 

 Jan. 2, there being four events at 5 birds each and one at 6 birds. 

 The results: Event No. 1, five birds, Hill 5, Campbell 4. Keller 4, 

 Parker 4, Weston 3, Stayer 1. McNulty 0, Staniar 0. No. 2, sime, Hill 5,

The New Year shoot of the newly organized Orange Rod and Gun 

 Club, held on their grounds on Watching Mountain, West Orange, 

 N. J., was a pleasant and successful affair. There were sixteen 

 members present and they shot at 5 Jive birds each. C. H. Jacobus 

 and George Fisher killed 5 each; C. C. Young and Hamilton Meller 4 

 each, Joseph Young and Solomon Wood 3 each, George Wood, Wil- 

 liam Manwood, Samuel Booth, William Heberis, Frank Storms, 

 Rudolph Wagner and G. M. C. Maintock 2 each, and Thomas H. 

 Lippe 1. After the shoot the members repaired to Dunu's Hotel, 

 where a banquet was served and a pleasant evening enjoyed. 



We are pleased to say that Rollo Heikes, the genial blonde who is so 

 expert at smashing targets, is entirtly recovered in health, but Chicago 

 is no longer to contain him as a resident. He is now located in his old 

 home, Dayton, O., and will go into the shell-loading business on his 

 own account. Rollo was completely run down, and by the advice of 

 his physician he spent some time in the South recuperating. While a 

 believer in climatology he has arrived at the conclusion that the man 

 who goes to Chicago for a change of climate usually gets a surfeit. 



The Union Metallic Cartridge Company publish a pretty panel em- 

 bellished with a picture of a Gordon setter and litter of puppies, all 

 of whom are seriously contemplating the amount of damage they 

 have wrought by partially emptying a box of Smokeless shells. In 

 the background is shown a kennel, game bag and gun, and under- 

 neath is a calendar for 1894. Taken altogether it is a pretty conceit 

 and a neat ornament for office or club room. 



Under date of Dec. 21 notices were sent out for a 50-bird sweep, §50 

 entry, to be shot at Erb's on Jan. 18. Will the recipients of said 

 notices impress upon their minds the fact that said shoot has been de- 

 clared off and that in its stead there has been arranged a 25-bird 

 sweep, §25 entry, to be shot at Erb's, Newark, N. J., on Tuesday, Jan. 

 .33, beginning at 10 o'clock A. M, Entries will be taken up to Jan. '22 by 

 C. H. Townsend, Box 2832, New York. 



Washington's Birthday at Dexter Park this year will, as usual, be 

 devoted to targets and birds. This is the one day in the year that the 

 patrons of Dexter Park turn out to give "Billy" a little benefit, and as 

 a consequence the day has been calendered by the shooters as "Trap- 

 per Mills's day." The shoot will open at 9:30 A . M. with target sweeps 

 and continue until 2 P. M., after which birds will be in order. 



This will be a fat year for the frequenters of tournaments. Already 

 two have been announced, each with §1,000 added money, and Wash- 

 ington and Cincinnati are likely to fall in line with similar affairs. 

 Then Charlotte. N C, is considering the feasibility of giving a three- 

 days' shoot immediately preceding the Knoxville shoot, and they 

 will probably add from §500 to $1,000. 



The new catalogue of the Chamberlin Cartridge and Target Company 

 of Cleveland, Ohio, is ready for distribution and will be sent to any 

 address on receipt of a stamp to cover postage. Every shooter should 

 have this catalogue, as it contains many half-tone cuts of great inter- 

 est. The company has also ready the programme for tournament, 

 Jan. 19-21 at which they add §1,000 in cash. 



A letter from Arthur S. Mattingly, secretary of the Capital City 

 Gun Club of Washington, D. C, informs us that his club is now the 

 only organization of the kind in the city and that its membership 

 comprises every good shot in the city. They are now considering the

Jersey shooters were disappointed at the falling through of the con 

 templated live bird match between Dr. P. J. Zeglio, of Warrenville,

The Atlantic City (N. J ) Rod and Gun Club has decided to hold its
