Jerseymen at the Targets. 



The weekly shoot at Armbruster's Park on Saturday of last week 

 brought together a large number of local shooters. The fact that tbe 

 50 shot match between Hansen and Plaisted was to be shot off was 

 no doubt the loadstone that drew many to the park. The match, how- 

 ever, was a disappointment in more ways than one. Barney Watther 

 was the instigator of tbe contest and was supposed to back Mr. Hansen 

 in the contest for such sum as the opposing side felt disposed to put 

 up. But when the time came to open the match the shoemaker was 

 not there, and the consequence was that the match was shot off for 

 simply the expense of the targets. Hansen showed up well and put up 

 a good score, but his opponent, Plaisted, shot as though he had an 

 acute attack of fever and ague. Some wag, in explaining Plaisted's 

 remarkably poor exhibition, remarked that it was probably caused by 

 his disappointment at not being allowed to get a slice of that shoe fac- 

 tory in Grand street. Scores, 50 shots:

RIFLE NOTES. 



The Miller Rifle Club will hold its annual election on Feb. 7. It is 1 

 reported that Capt. E. Fisher declines a re-election. 



The Excelsior and Greenville clubs have made arrangements to 

 shoot off a series of home and home gallery team matches. The first 

 match will be shot on the Excelsior range on Feb. 15. 



Chas. C. Wissel says he is ready to put up a forfeit for a match be- 

 tween Ross and DorrJer. Let some of those partisans who are look- 

 ing for the Dorrler end of the match go out and visit Mr. Wissel and 

 bring this matter to a head. 



Hansen and Plaisted will come together again in another 50-shot 

 match on Saturday, Feb. 3, when it is expected that the conditions 

 will be such as to draw out the shooting ability of both men. 



The many friends of that old-time galleryman, James Conlin, will be 

 pleased to learn that he is still in tne business. His new stand is well 

 located for the uptown trade. 



C. H. Chavant, of the Greenville Club, has signified a r"esire to shoot 

 a match with Wm. Weber, of the Excelsior Club, 50 shots, on some 

 Saturday afternoon in February. Will some member of the Excelsior 

 Club call Mr. Weber's attention to this matter before Chavant's ardor 

 has time to congeal? 



The weekly gallery shooting of the New York Rifle Club this winter 

 seems to hare generated quite an interest among its members. We 

 should be pleased to see this club regain the prominent position in 

 shooting affairs that it held back in the '70s. 



C. G. Zettler is known among his friends as having a streak of 

 "Extra Dry" in his nature, and at times is prone lo uncork himsplf 

 for the benefit of those who may be in his presence. He relates that 

 last week while at work at his bench stocking a rifle, an old acquaint- 

 ance, and a rifle crank withal, droppei in, when the following conver- 

 sation took place: "Hello, Zett !" "Hello, old man; how's things? 1 ' 

 'Oh, pretty fair." "What you doing? Making new stock?" "Yes." 

 "Well, that's a nice piece of wood. Looks though it would hold pretty 

 good when you get through with it, and that reminds me; I had an 

 idea of late that my stock didn't quite fit me, so I shortened it one- 

 sixteenth of an inch, and do you know it improved my scores wonder 

 fully." 



Flemington Gun Club. 



Flemington, N. J., Jan. 13.— Inclosed find scores made at the weekly

 weekly contests. The grounds of the Syracuse Gun Club are most 

 conveniently situated near the city, and the changes in the rules should 

 materially increase the membership, and thereby make the organiza- 

 tion one of the most prominent of its kind in central New York,

 marksmen into three classes Applications for membership will be 

 received by the secretary of the club, A. C. Ginty, No. 215 South
