[Feb, 8, 1894. 



target and the 12in. German target with the l^in. center. There is 

 no doubt that ir Mr. Hayes had made any effort in the matter, he 

 could have made the target popular. But he is a man of large busi- 

 ness affairs, and rifle shooting his hobby. He had a number of the 

 targets printed, sent them to his shooting friends, and that was the 

 end of his interest in the matter. Those who have shot on the Hayes 

 target pronounce it to be better than either the standard American or 

 the German target, especially the size of bullseye, 8in. being con- 

 sidered too small and lain, too large. While Mr. Hayes holds a copy- 

 right upon the target, he informed us many mouths since that the 

 privilege of using the target was open to all riflemen who desired to 

 adopt it. This target and the two others referred to are the best that 

 we nave seen in our experience in rifle shooting on the 200 yard range, 

 and if all clubs would adopt one of t he three or settle upon an im- 

 provement, taking the good qualities of each, it would certainly add 

 to the interest of all who enjoy rifle shooting. We confess, however, 

 that the possibilities of adopting a standard target by the fraternity 

 at large are very remote. For there is no devotee more stubborn 

 than he of the rifle, and when he becomes once wedded to a particular 

 style of arm, target or cartridge, he is immovable. 



During the shoot of the Jerseymen at Greenville Schuetzen Park 

 last week it was suggested in the interest of rifle shooting that an in- 

 vitation be extended to outside clubs who may have opportunities for 

 winter practice to shoot a series of friendly (telegraph) matches on 

 the 200yds. range, five or ten men a side. If this suggestion meets 

 with favor among any of our rifle clubs they can communicate with 

 the Greenville Rifle Club, care Forest and Stream. 



Jas. Conlin reports that shotting in his new gallery in the Manhat- 

 tan Club building is highly satisfactory; his old patrons have found 

 him out and are giving him generous support. An interesting fea- 

 ture in connection with the new gallery is that many society iadies 

 visit the range for practice with the rifle and revolver. ; 



Many of the crack shots connected with the Naval Reserve will start 

 a series of matches soon. The Columbia College students are also 

 perfecting themselves with the rifle and revolver. 



Our German-American riflemen are highly interested in the coming 

 team match, which takes place on the Zettler ranges, 219 Bowery, oh 

 Feb. 7, between teams from the New York Schuetzen Corps, New 

 York City Schuetzen Corps, New York Central Schuetzen Corps aud 

 the Harlem Independent Corps. These four Corps represent a mem- 

 bership af some 500 or more, and there is great speculation as to which 

 team will carry off the honors. 



That veteran rifleman M. Dorrler has been confined to his home and 

 bed for the past week or more with a severe attack of diarrhcea. His 

 physician reports that had the illness occurred in hot weather with the 

 same vigor, Michael's shooting days would have been over. The latest 

 reports from the patient are that he is slowly mending. 



The Zettler Rifle Club is sending out programmes for its sixth an" 

 nual team trophy shoot, to be held on its headquarters'' ranges on 

 Washington's Birthday. Four valuable trophies will be open for com- 

 petition for the teams that enter the tournament. All clubs desiring 

 to enter teams should communicate with Cbas. G. Zettler, 219 Bowery, 

 New York city. 



We received last week a communicatioh from H. Holden, Port 

 Dover, Ont., one of Canada's old riflemen of thirty years ago. This 

 old veteran, who was a prize winner as far back as 1863 in Montreal, 

 Toronto, Ottawa and Broekville, writes us that the love for the rifle 

 still abides with him. 



At a special meeting of the Greenville Club on Jan. 23 it was decided, 

 after a lively debate, to enter one team in the new Hudson County 

 League. 



At the meeting on Jan. 21 to organize the Hudson County Gallery 

 League, the followiug board of officers were elected: President, A.W. 

 Steuber, Our Own Club; Vice-Presideut, C. H. Chavant, Greenville 

 Club; Secretary, Julius Kruse, Our Own Club; Treasurer, Henry 

 Mahlenbrock, Hudson Club. Each team will contain five men, but 

 the members must be residents of Hudson county. 



At a meeting of the Pittsburgh Rifle Club, Jan. 16, three new mem- 

 bers were elected and the following board of officers: Geo. Hodgdon, 

 President; Jesse B. Jones, Vice President; Reade W. Bailey, Secretary ; 

 Louis Brehm, Treasurer and Executive Officer; Geo. E. Paiuter, W. C. 

 Galbraith, W. H. McClelland, D. H. Stoner, Jas. E. Carson and D. W. 

 Frazee, Directors.

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



The Reading Shooting Association issues an attractive programme 

 of events for their shoot on Feb. 13, 14 and 15, to be held on Reading 

 Driving Park, Three-Mile House, Shilliugton, Pa. The house and 

 grounds are under the management of the tvell-knowD and popular 

 Harry Matz, who will spare no pains to make everybody feel at home. 

 Meals and sleeping accommodations will be provided at Mr. Matz's 

 hotel. The Reading and Southwestern electric cars from Ninth and 

 Franklin and Third and Penn streets run every ten minutes direct to 

 hotel and grounds. The first two days will be devoted to targets, the

 teenth annual celebration of the organization of the Cumberland Gun 

 Club of Lowell, lud., the jubilee to be be held on Feb. 22 to 25, inclu- 

 sive. Included will also be the first annual winter carnival of the 

 sportsmen of Chicago, the whole being in charge of a committee of 29 

 prominent sportsmen. The programme comprises both live bird and 

 target events, as well as rifle shooting, turkey shooting aud a rabbit

 Fourth day, optional sweepstakes at live birds and targets; rabbit 

 round-up over the Cumberland Marsh, starting at 8 A. M. 



The chances are considered bright for a series of matches between 

 the Kansas City expert, Jas. A. R. Elliott, and the Utica marksman, 

 E, D. Fulford, who recently defeated Elliott in four out of five con- 

 tests. The series will probably comprise five matches at 100 birds 

 each for $250 a side each match and a side wager of $250 on the best 

 three out of five shoots. The first two matches will take place in New 

 Jersey, probably on John Erb's Newark grounds late in March, the 

 third in Pittsburgh, the fourth in Chicago and the fifth in Kansas City, 

 Mo. Each man is confident of being able to win a majority of the 

 matches. 



On Jan. 25, the day of the team match at Earle's Hotel, on the 

 Elizabeth road, the following sweepstakes were shot: No. 1, at 5 live 

 birds: LaMott 4, Batch 3, Met:.-: >• - Folsom 0. No. 2, same: 

 Batch 5, LaMott 4. Dovey 2. McCandless 0. No. 3, at 10 live birds: La

Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 23.— At the last meeting of the Forest Gun 

 Club, the following officers were elected for tho year: President, Mr. 

 James A, Mills; Vice-President, Mr. John C. Martin; Field Captaiu, 

 Mr. Charles Irvin ; Secretary and Treasurer, Mr. Wm. Morison. At 

 this meeting it was decided to join the Pennsvlvania State Sportsmen's 

 Association. Any nearby club wishing to shoot a friendly match, can 

 be accommodated by addressing Wm. Morison, Sec'y, 323 Ridge avenue, 

 Philadelphia, Pa. 



Last November a stake of $20 was placed in our hands, this to be 

 shot for at 25 targets each by T. W. Morfey of Paterson, and Chas. F. 

 Lenoueof Passaic, On the day set for the match a postponement was 

 made, owing to sickness in Mr. Lenone's family. That was early in 

 December, and we are still waiting for another date to be arranged. 

 The match was to be play or pay, and as Mr. Morfey is ready to shoot 

 at any time, we should like to hear from Mr. Lenone as to his inten- 

 tions. 



At the annual meeting of the West End Gun and Rod Club, of New- 

 ark, N. J., Elmer Waliuelsdorf was elected President; Chas. Neigert, 

 Vice-President; Lawrence Spahn, Treasurer; Louis Heinhauser, Sec- 

 retary; Wm. F. Betschick, Sergeant-at-Arms; John O. Young, Cap- 

 tain; Tony Bratsch, Assistant Captain. An important meeting will be 

 held on Feb. 12, aud every member is urged to be present. 



Next Thursday will be the date for the regular monthly shoot of the 

 Newark Gun Club on Erb's grounds, and it is hoped that the attend- 

 ance will be sufficiently large to justify the holding of a meeting to 

 decide upon a oate for shooting a return team match with the Park- 

 way Gun Club of Brooklyn, to whom they owe a match. The mem- 

 bers of the Parkways are anxious that the match should be arranged 

 for an early date. 



Elmer E. Shaner, manager of the Interstate Manufacturers' and 

 Dealers' Association informs us that the second tournament of the 

 1894 series will be held at Pittsburg, Pa., on April 18 and 19, under the 

 auspices of the Pittsburg Gun Club, who will add $200 to the purses. 

 The third tournament will be held at Springfield, O., on May 2 and 3, 

 under the auspices of the Springfleld Gun Club, who will add $200 to 

 the purses. 



The return match between the Parkway Rod and Gun Club and the 

 Newark Gun Club, fifteen men on a side, ten birds each, will be shot 

 off on Miller's Dexter Park grounds on Thursday, Feb. 1. In the pre- 

 vious match shot in Newark last fall the Newark team won by three 

 birds, consequently the Parkways have strong hopes of defeating the 

 Jerseymen in the coming match. 



The following officers have been elected by the Syracuse Gun Club: 

 President, Harvey McMurchy; 1st Vice-President, Willis A. Holden; 

 2d Vice-President. Geo. A. Maun; Secretary, A. C. Ginty; Treasurer, 

 Williard Hookway ; Field Captain, Chas. H. Mowry ; Lieutenant, «eo. H. 

 Mann; Executive Committee, Chas . A. Mowry, W. Hookway, Geo. A, 

 Mann— 



The annual meeting of the Connecticut Trap-Shooters' League for 

 the choice of officers for the ensuing year and to transact such other 

 business as may properly be brought, will be held at Hotel Heublein, 

 Hartford, on Tuesday, Feb. 6, 1891, at 1 o'clock P. M. 



The patrons of Dexter Park are remarking that for the past three 

 months Miller has furnished the best birds seen on any of our local 

 grounds in many months. This is highly gratifying to the patrons and 

 speaks well for the energy of proprietor Miller. 



The River Bend Gun Club, of Nutley, N. J., has changed its name to 

 the Yantacaw Gun Club, and has elected officers as follows: President, 

 Ernest R. Tilton; Vice-President, George L. Malcolm; Secretary, Wm. 

 J. Berg; Treasurer, Conrad H. Ray; Captain, George Deakin. 



Mr. Samuel Castle, the veteran trap-shot of the Newark Gun Club 

 who has been ill with la grippe for three weeks, is convalescent, and 

 will probably take a hand in the club shoot next Thursday. 



The Syracuse Gun Club has reduced its initiation fee to $3, its dues 

 to $3 a year, and the price of targets to one cent each. It will here- 

 after shoot on Tuesday of each week. 



Wm. F. Dackerman and Wm. M. Parker, both of Elizabeth, will 

 shoot a 100-bird match for $150 a side, on the Elizabeth Gun Club 

 grounds, on Feb. 22.

Live Bird Shoot at Erb's. 



Tuesday, Jan. 23, the day set for the 25-bird sweep on John Erb's 

 Newark grounds, was as favorable as could be expected for the season, 

 but the stringency of the money market or some other cause must 

 have affected the sportsmen, as a bare handful appeared, not enough 

 in fact to justify the starting of the above event; and consequently the 

 day was devoted to sweepstake shooting. The birds, which were from 

 the Kansas City lofts of J. A. R. Elliott, were a rattling good lot, all 

 old birds of fine plumage and fit to fly for their lives. If Mr. Elliott 

 can guarantee under all circumstances to furnish as good birds as 

 used on this date, he should be able to place a big lot of birds in this 

 vicinity. 



Quite a number of spectators were on hand to see the big event, but 

 although disappointed in this, they were treated to some fine work by 

 such experts as Elliott, Fulford, Class, Hollis, Lindsley, Erb and Wal- 

 ters, The sport was opened by a couple of sweepstakes at 10 live birds 

 per man, $10 enry, three moneys, the scores being as below: 



No. 1. No. 2. 



Elliott 0221111201— 8 1111112101— 9 



Class 1121202211— 9 2211121112—10 



Fulford 1121 1121 12-10 1111122111—10 



Lindsl ey 22222221 22—10 2222222222—10 



Erb 1111002120— 7 



Hollis 1022212120- 8 2112110112— 9 



The outcome of event No. 2 occasioned a dispute on the part of one 

 of the contestants which in our opinion was entirely uncalled for as 

 well as unjustified. Previous to the event it wa? understood that there 

 were to be three moneys. Before shooting at his last bird, Mr. Hollis, 

 the last man on the list, approached the trap editor of Forest and 

 Stream:, who was acting as scorer and cashier, and asked if in case 

 there were only two scores, i.e.— two totals— the purse would lie 

 divided 60 and 40#. He was informed that the conditions were "three 

 moneys" and if there were only two wiuning scores third money would 

 be added to first. Mr. Hollis went to the score and killed his bird, 

 this leaving two classes of winners only, three men killing 10 each and 

 the others killing 9 each. The Mr. Hollis made a decided "kick" 

 against the decision of the cashier, meanwhile using language which— 

 to do him justice — we do think he would have used had he taken 

 a sober second-thought. The only man to side with Mr. Hollis was 

 Mr. Elliott, while our decision as to the proper disposition of the 

 money was upheld by Messrs. Erb, Fulford, Class and Lindsley, and 

 by the. old veteran, Mr. Jacob Pentz. Finally becoming disgusted 

 with the unreasonable arguments advanced we turned tho money over 

 to Mr. John Erb, who soon settled the dispute by adding third money 

 to first and giving the shooters their choice as to whether they took 

 their share or not. It is needless to say that they each took their 

 share. Only once before, to our knowledge, has this point been 

 raised, and then it was raised od the same grounds, by the same 

 gentleman, and was decided against him. 



Following the above event came a series of three 10-bird events be- 

 tween Fulford and Lindsley, the loser to pay for the birds. The result: 



Fulford 1111011122 2111811111 2111111111-29 



Lindsley 0222.211220 2002102222 1221. J 01202-88 



Then Fulford and Class had a go at 25 birds for the cost, this re- 

 sulting this way: 



Fulford , 2221111110 1120120121 11111-22 



Class 1021210111 2212211111 12211-23 



The finals of the day were at 5 birds each, $5 entry, three moneys: 

 No. 3. No. 4. Ties. 



Class 12211—5 11121—5 1112221

Hell Gate Gun Club. 



On Tuesday of last week thirty members of the Hell Gate Gun Club 

 participated in the monthly shoot of the club at Miller's Dexter Park 

 grounds. The weather was fine and the birds of first class quality, 

 giving the shooters plenty of work to stop them within the boundary. 

 There was not a clean score made during the afternoon. Such good 

 shots as Doenick, Col. Voss, Linck, Regan, and Dannefelser being able 

 to grass only seven of their ten birds 



There was so much time consumed in shooting out the club event, 

 that the shades of night were closing in when the last man had fin- 

 ished his score. 



A three bird sweep by starlight with five entries followed the club 

 event, Col. Voss by good luck in guessing the direction in whlsh his 

 birds had taken flight, got first money with a clear score. Scores: 



10 birds, Hurlingham rules:

Anaconda Rod and Gun Club. 



Anaconda, Mont., Jan. 23.— Inclosed I hand you scores of our 

 weekly shoot. With traps completely housed and a comfortable club 

 house the cold weather does not annoy us, and unless storming hard 

 a tew of our most enthusiastic members are always on hand. Our 

 system of shooting for the medal creates quite a rivalry, and a per- 

 son has to shoot a very stiff race to hold it, as it is not confined to an 

 individual match, but all have the privilege of entering. The weather 

 was fair, and Mr. Cruger, the holder of the medal, shot a very stiff 

 race up to his last five birds, but Twoby's nerve was more lasting, and 

 he landed winner by one bird only:

Spokane Bod and Gun Club. 



Spokane, Washington, Jan. 22.— There was a good attendance at 

 the Spokane Rod and Gun Club shoot yesterday. The air was very 

 frosty, but the sun shone beautiful, and all taken together, it was a 

 splendid day for shooting, there being no wind to mar the flight of the 

 famous biuerocks. The shooting was not up to the average with the 

 exception of T. B, Ware, who got 23 out of the 30, and again became 

 the winner of the A class medal for the eighth consecutive time. The 

 B class medal fell into the hands of W. D. Knight for the third time. 

 Following are the scores:

^Bsculapians at the Trap. 



On Wednesday of last week five disciples of .Esculapius met at 

 Dexter Park to compete for honors at pigeon shooting. There is 

 probably no city in the Union that can boast of so many physicians 

 with trap-shooting proclivities as can the -City of Churches, and of 

 the score of clubs in the city there is hardly one that does not contain 

 upon its membership roll the name of some resident physician. The 

 five who were gathered at Miller's on Wednesday were fully alive to 

 the necessity of making a good showing when facing the traps, and 

 the rules for shooting being liberal, "go as you please," each contest- 

 ant was in position to bring out his strongest points. Some of them 

 had favorite patients whose rapid recovery depended largely upon a 

 generous supply of pigeon broth, previously contracted for, and as a 

 matter of professional pride it was necessary to have the birds lest 

 the patient become impatient as to the treatment. The birds furnished 

 by Miller were of that quality that are up and away when the traps 

 are opened, and tho consequence was that the doctors were compelled 

 to resort to what is known professionally as "heroic treatment," in 

 shotgun parlance termed both barrels— in some instances simul- 

 taneously. 



In the competition Drs, Lord and Home got on to their birds from 

 the start and succeeded in killing 9 and 8 respectively. The others 

 seemed to be a little uncertain as to the necessary treatment, and 

 resorted to some experimenting which was fatal to the accumulating 

 of large totals aud somewhat damaging to their pride as experts with 

 the gun. The afternoon's sport, however, was highly enjoyed by all, 

 aud they no doubt returned to their practice and their patients phys- 

 ically and mentally the better for their afternoon's outing with the 

 gun and birds. Scores: 



Dr Freed 2122101111—9 Dr H Berg 0020100021-4 



Dr Forst 0210120221—7 Dr Horne , . . . . 1210202321— S
