RIFLE NOTES. 



The match between Ross and Dorrler at Wissel's Park, last week, 

 has had the effect to stir up rifle matters in and about New York to its 

 Utmost depths; in fact, everything pertaining to the sport has been 

 decidedly roily all the past week. We are pleased to record -the fact, 

 however, that these two expert riflemen have dispensed with the ser- 

 vices of their respective backers, and have come to an understanding 

 in the matter of a new series of 100-shot matches, best two out of 

 three, to be shot off in the near future. The first match will take 

 place in the Greenville Schuetzen Park to-day (April 28). It is to be 

 hoped that these contests will settle beyond question the fact as to 

 -which is the better marksman of the two. Then let some other expert 

 step in and dispute the honors with the winner. The woods are full of 

 riflemen who would like to be champions, and all that is wanting is an 

 opportunity to display their ability. 



The programme of the National Shooting Association ("Nationaler 

 Schlitzenbund"), which we published in last week's issue, has struck 

 a responsive chord in the hearts of our local riflemen. Information 

 derived from many of the delegates belonging to the Association de- 

 velops the fact that by the 1st of January, 1895, the Association will 

 contain a membership made up from societies extending all over the 

 country, and that the Association will in truth be national in the broad- 

 est sense of the word. 



The Italian Shooting Association will hold a shoot at Brinckner's 

 Pelhamville grounds on May 1. Rifle shooting as well as live birds and 

 targets will be the order of the day. Competition is open to all. 



The New York Independent Corps held its monthly practice shoot in 

 Washington Park, on Wednesday, of this week, a report of the shoot- 

 ing will appear in our next issue. 



Hugo Krabel, of Union Hill Park, carried off a large share of the 

 honors at the Hoboken Independent shoot last week. 



The New York Rifle Club will open its out-door practice for the sea- 

 son in the Greenville Schuetzen Park, on Decoration Day. 



Our rifle promoter paid a visit to the home of the Heidenreich Rifle 

 Club last week. Capt. Goodman, backed up by Messrs. May, Horn 

 and others, made the visit one of much pleasure to our news-gatherer 

 so much so that he will wander that way again later on. The liberal 

 programme of the. Heidenreich Club for its spring festival to be held 

 May 27 and 28, is a matter of favorable comment among our local 

 riflemen. 



The Miller Club, of Hoboken, is out with a programme for its eighth 

 annual shoot, to be held in the Union Hill Schuetzen Park, on May 7 

 There are fifteen prizes on the ring target, ranging from $35 down to 

 $2. On the bullseye target there are twelve prizes, from $20 down to 

 $2. Our experts will no doubt all be there. 



Three Jerseymen had a quiet afternoon's practice in Armbruster's 

 Park on Saturday of last week. One of the trio, Mr. Hansen, had an 

 opportunity to make a 10-shot record score. The record faded out on 

 the last shot, however. Messrs. Robidoux and C. Boag made some 

 good scores; the best work of each man is appended: 



Hansen 23 25 24 24 23 24 24 24 24 21-236 



Robidoux 22 20 22 25 22 21 23 17 24 24-220 



C Boag 23 19 21 22 22 24 19 23 21 24—218 



The Greenville Rifle Club brought its winter gallery practice to a 

 close on Friday of last week. A list of the class winners with their 

 scores will appear in our next issue. 



Tbe familiar sign of the Zettler Bros, will disappear from the front 

 of No, 12 St Marks Place this week. They will confine their business 

 to No 219 Bowery, after the first of May. 



Schlicht Rifle Club. 



At the weekly shoot of the Schlicht Club on April 16, nineteen mem- 

 bers were present and participated in the competition for the class 

 medals. Geo. Dorr won the championship medal, Capt. Brellenthine 

 the first class, Aug. Meyer the second class, and Geo. Richert the third 

 class. Scores: G. Schlicht 244, G. Dorr 238, Capt. Brellenthine 233. W. 

 Schlicht 232, G. Richert 231, C. Meyer 230, A. Meyer 225, G. J. Goehrig

Conlin's Gallery. 



Mr. Conlin's Rifle, Revolver and Pistol Gallery, corner of Madison 

 avenue and Forty-fifth street, has every facility for practice with all 

 kinds of approved and modern firearms. On exhibition may be seen 

 the most complete collection of targets and records, exhibiting the 

 beBt shooting records made in the world : also photographs of noted 

 marksmen, all of which is well worthy of a visit.

The third tournament of the Interstate Manufacturers' and Dealers' 

 Association, to be held at Springfield, O., on Wednesday, Thursday 

 and Friday of next week, promises to be an immense success. The 

 target events on the first two days, with $200 added to the purses by 

 the Springfield Gun Club, will draw all the shots from various sections 

 of the State as well as a goodly contingent from Pennsylvania, New 

 Jersey and elsewhere. Springfield is the county seat of Clarke county, 

 lies at the confluence of Mud River and Lagonda Creek (sub-tributaries 

 of the Ohio through the Miami), eighty -four miles northeast of Cin- 

 cinnati and has a population of 40,000. The shooting will be done on 

 the grounds of the Springfield Gun Club, reached in twelve minutes 

 from the center of the city by the Landsdowne Park electric line,

 Lagonda hotels. The target events to be shot on Wednesday and

 will be 5 birds, $3 entry; 7 birds, $5; 15 birds, $15; miss-and-out $5, and

The Prairie Gun Club is putting forth great efforts to secure the 

 success of the fourth tournament of the Interstate Manufacturers' 

 and Dealers' Association, to be held on the grounds of the Garfield 

 Jockey Club, Chicago, on May 17, 18 and 19. The grounds are almost 

 in the heart of the city and the cable cars pass the gate every half- 

 minute. In an advance pamphlet, giving the conditions for the stake 

 events, the club says: "It has invoked the aid of the great city of the 

 West with the result that not only has the freedom of the city been 

 granted Mr. Justus Von Lengerke and his team of Eastern shooters, 

 which are to compete against a picked team from Illinois, captained 

 by A. M. Hoffman for the supremacy, but will donate a handsome 

 amount to a sweepstake to be caled the 'City of Chicago St. Leger.' " 

 A large number of valuable prizes have already been secured and 

 there are many more to come. The club will run two sets of traps 

 for targets and two sets for live bird events. In its salutatory the 

 club recognizes "the Interstate Manufacturers' and Dealers' Associa- 

 tion as the parent shooting organization of this country and anxious to 

 assist it in its efforts to promote the interests it fosters," and intends 

 to co-operate with it in making this the greatest shooting tourna- 

 ment ever held in the West, if not in the country. 



Aurora, Mo., April 6.— The annual meeting of the Aurora Gun Club 

 was held to-day, President Longman occupying the chair. The elec- 

 tion of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows: President, 

 A. Longman; Vice-President, T. J. Liles; Secretary, C. T. Johnston; 

 Treasurer, Ed. Ogle3by; Captain, W. T. Branham. The president was 

 instructed to appoint an executive committee consisting of three 

 members. It was also decided to change the regular weekly shoot 

 from twenty singles and five pairs to ten singles and three pairs. Mr. 

 C. W. Westcott was elected a member of the club. It was suggested 

 that the club be divided into two classes, class A to consist of those 

 who won the medal three times last season, and class B all who did 

 not have it that number of times, class B to be allowed two birds in 

 the ten singles and one bird in the three pair. These suggestions, if 

 proven satisfactory, to be incorporated in the by-laws.

 from our liebe friend Herr "Bilderbach" that the club will hold a 

 tournament on June 5, 6 and 7, the committee in charge being "Hire- 

 a-Hall" Hartlove, Charles "Bilderbach" and "Jersey" DeCray. This 

 combination will be on duty from the crack of the first gun until the 

 last farewell has been said. "Bilderbach" also sends us the following 

 result of the annual meeting: President, J. D. Underwood; Vice- 

 President, Sam'l Chadwick; Treasurer, J. R. Marr; Secretary, Chas.

 ana $2 entry; three 20-target events, $2 50 entry, and two 25 target

 ers, all of whom affirm that they are anxious to see an announcement 

 of a tournament by the Wilmington Rod and Gun Club, and who 

 pleadingly call upon Messrs. Bilderbach and Hartlove to get to work 

 upon the arrangements. June seems to be the month of their desire.

 Greensboro, N. O, the Greensboro Gun Club will add $200 to the 

 purses. No dates have yet been announced but the shoot will proba- 

 bly take place about the third week in September. 



A series of team races between the Climax Gun Club of Plainfleld

 and the Boulevard, this city, on May 2 and 3. Electric ears will 

 run direct from the depot to the grounds, which are located on the hill 

 overlooking Long Island Sound. The background is perfect, not a tree 

 or other obstruction to obscure the flight of the target from the guns. 

 The score faces directly northeast, and the sun from morn till night 

 "'ill shine on the back of the shooter and not bother his eyesight. 



The feature of the shoot will be a 25-target event, known trap, un- 

 known angles, entrance $2.50 each day. Not class shooting; high guns 

 to win. Purse divided 50, 30 and .20 per cent. 



Everything will be done to entertain visiting sportsmen and make 

 their trip to New Loudon so pleasant that they will come again. For 

 programmes and other information please address, 



Jas. W. Clinton, Secretary.
