Cincinnati, Jan. 24.— The Cincinnati Rifle Association held its reg- 

 lar practice shoot at its range to-day, and made the scores appended. 

 Conditions, 200yds., offhand, at the standard target. There being 

 several inches of snow upon the ground, and upon which the sun 

 shone with dazzling effect, handicapped the shooters to some extent, 

 although some, creditable scores were made. Tie scores:

Jerseymen at the Targets. 



Armbrustbr's Park, Greenville, N. J., on Saturday last, was the 

 scene of a large gathering of Hudson county riflemen. The Hudson 

 Rifle Club was represented by a team of a dozen or more of its best 

 marksmen. There was also a delegation from the Excelsior Club, and 

 there was the usual delegation from the Greenville Club, besides a 

 goodly number of spectators from Greenville and Jersey City. The 

 magnet thai brought this unusual crowd together was an expected 

 match between teams from the Hudson and Greenville clubs, and the 

 50-shot match between Hansen and Plaisted. 



The proposed match between the Hudsons and the Greenvilles was 

 an informal affair and was brought about by members representing 

 the two clubs, but when the two teams met in the park all possibility 

 for a match was lost in an argument that was started over the matter 

 of a match for $50, that has been pending between the two clubs tot- 

 several months, and which has not as yet been settled. The leaders 

 of the two teams not being able to come to an understanding there 

 was no match. The members devoted what little time there was left 

 after the long discussion to practice shooting. 



While the Hudsons and the Greenvilles were having their argu- 

 ment Hansen and Plaisted came together to settle the second match 

 in the series resulting in a tie score. Another 50-shot match will be 

 shot off between the two on Feb. 17. Scores:

Germany vs. America. 



Port Chester, N. Y., Jan. 27.— There was a match shot hereto-day 

 at the range of the Port Chester PUfie Club between two members and 

 was locally called Germany vs. America. The participants were ex- 

 pected to shoot 25 shots each at a German ring target, 200yds., off- 

 hand, and probably due to the "eternal fitness of things" Germany 

 won. After the match there was a medal presented to the winner, 

 which had "einen ihm eigenen Werth." In the center was a target 

 with the bullseye and rings in white. On either side were neatly 

 draped the German and American flags in colors, and the whole out- 

 lined and suitably decorated for the occasion. To say the winner was 

 a happy man but faintly expresses it. 



After this match a series of 5-shot scores were shot and later a pro- 

 position to make another contest Germany vs. America was talked of; 

 this race to be a team match, three men on a side, may develop itself 

 later. Following are the scores:

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



Norwalk, Conn., Jan. 27,— The new rod and gun club met at C. B. 

 Coolidge's office last night, and perfected their organization, adopting 

 the name of the Norwalk Fish and Game Association. The committee 

 on constitution and by-laws reported and their work was accepted. 

 The following officers were elected: Pres., John L. Richards; Viee- 

 Pres., Chas. N. Wood; Treas., C. B. Coolidge: Sec'y, Samuel Lynes; 

 Attorney, J. Belden Hurlbutt; Collector, F. E. Lockwood. The fol- 

 lowing gentlemen were elected directors: Alden Solmans, Frederick 

 H. Quintard, H. E. Dann, Henry Selleck, James Sutherland, W. L. 

 Keeler, of Wilton; Hiram Davis and Wm. Wardwell, Jr., of New 

 Canaan. A committee on applications "was selected, as follows: South 

 Norwalk— C. S. Trowbridge, James Brown, Walter Lewis; Norwalk— 

 C. N. Wood, James H. Hoyt, James K. Crofut; Wilton— W. L. Keeler, 

 O. L. Bassett, Augustus Merwin; New Canaan— Hiram Davis, David 

 Lockwood, Samuel Pennoyer. Committee on distribution of fish and 

 game: South Norwalk— Theodore Smith, John L: Richards, Alden 

 Solmans, F. H. Quintard; Norwalk— Oeorge Finch, F. E. Lockwood, 

 Sidney Guthrie, Henry Lewis, Charles Reynolds, Cyrus Parks; Wilton, 

 James Jones, 0. L. Bassett, Augustus Merwin; New Cannan — Hiram 

 Davis, Samuel Pennoyer, David Lockwood, Frank Buttery. Several 

 new members were elected. The meeting then adjourned "subject to 

 the call of the president. 



The New York Mail a-nd Express is responsible for the following: 

 "Ned Blinn, who has developed into a crack shot, is going to give the 

 lovers of the gun a treat. He has been making a canvass of the gun 

 clubs of the city, and he finds that, with a few exceptions, they are 

 eager for a big open tournament similar to the one recently decided at 

 the Hollywood grounds. He is arranging a tourney of that kind, in 

 which more teams will compete than at Hollywood, and there will be 

 three days' shooting instead of one. If possible to arrange it, teams 

 of 25 men will be chosen. Boston has already agreed to send a repre- 

 sentation providing the tournament is held before the last of March. 

 Blinn thinks he can hold the carnival during the first part of that 

 month, if not earlier. Philadelphia and Washington have been heard 

 from favorably. Efforts will be made to get St, Louis and Chicago to 

 send on some of their cracks. The only important feature of the pro- 

 posed tournament not settled is its location. Several first-class 

 grounds have been suggested, but nothing will be done until all the 

 various sections have been heard from. Kings county and Jersey are 

 certain to have teams in the tournament. The conditions will be "simi- 

 lar to those that governed the Jersey shoot." By the way, will our 

 esteemed local contemporary tell us when the above-mentioned "big 

 open tournament" took place at Hollywood? 



Live bird experts who desire to have a couple of days' rich sport, 

 meet a jolly and hospitable host and have first class pigeons on wnich 

 to try their skill, can do no better than to spend Thursday and Friday, 

 Feb. 15 and 16, at the hostelry of Theodore M. Pierson at Roxburg, 

 N. J. Roxburg if situated on the Belvidere-Delaware Division of the 

 Pennsylvania Railroad, and maybe reached by way of Phillipsburg. 

 Conveyances will meet all trains at the Roxburg Depot. There will 

 be 1,000 good old country birds on the grounds. The first dray's pro- 

 gramme is as follows: Two events at five birds each, 85 entry; two 

 at seven birds each, $7 entry: one at eight birds, ©8 entry, and one at 

 ten birds, $10. On the second day there will be one six-bird event, $6 

 entry; one seven-bird event, $7 entry; two eight-bird events, 88 entry 

 each; one ten-bird event, $10 entry, one fifteen-bird event. $15 entry. 

 Mr. Pierson is a prime entertainer and will spare no pains iu the at- 

 tempt to make visitors comfortable.

 masterpieces. 



The monthly shoot of the Glenmore Rod and Gun Club at Dexter 

 Park last week, was not a success. Since the death of Peter Sotter 

 tue late President of the club, it seems as the organization was going 

 to drop out ot sight for the present at least. On Wednesday only two 

 in ?mbers were present, Messrs. Vorbach and Koy. The two snot a 

 sweepstake at 10 birds, Vorbach killing 9 to Koy's 8.
