Zettler Winter Gallery Shoot, 



The Zettler Club finished its winter shoot in the gallery for the 

 season 1893-4, on Tuesday night of last week. 



At the opening of the shoot last fall the club put up a liberal pro- 

 gramme of fifteen cash prizes, the five highest prizes to go to the 

 members mating the best SO scores; the nest five prizes for the best 



i 35 scores; and the last five prizes for the best 25 scores. In addition 



I to the cash prizes the club hung up the champion gallery medal which 



i has been up for competition for the past ten years. 



I Heretofore the medal has been held by the winner mating the high- 

 est score on the first entry at each weekly shoot, the member winning 



I it the most times during the season to hold it until the opening of the 



■ next season. But this year the rule was changed and the medal was 

 I subject to competition on the bullseye, each member allowed one shot 



each practice night, and the member having the best center shot at 

 I the end of the season, to become the owner of the medal. 

 I At the close of the shoot on Tuesday night the bullseye box was 

 I opened and the cartons measured. Many of the members had shots 

 I that seemed to be almost perfect centers, but after the cartons had 

 i gone through the measuring machine Barney Zettler was found to 



have the winning shot, it measuring only 11°. Henry Holges was sec- 

 I ond, his carton measuring 



I In addition to the club prizes the Zettler Bros, gave an extra medal 

 I to go to the member mating the highest number of points during the 

 I twenty-six weekly competitions. The competition for this medal de- 

 I veloped a close race between Ross and Holges. Ross won this medal 

 I on a total of 3181 points in 130 scores, beating Holges 76 points. Ross 



■ also wins first prize for the best 50 scores on a total of 12362., leading 

 I Holges bv 26 points. 



I The attendance during the winter has been light, only sixteen mem- 

 I bers filling out their scores as called for in the programme. The scores 

 I of the winners, with their averages, will be found appended: 

 I Most points, one prize (Zettler medal):

Ross vs. Dorrler. 



The two rifle experts, Fred. C. Rnss and Michael Dorrler. came 

 together again on Saturday of last week in the Greenville Schuetzen 

 Park to sh"ot off the first match in the new series of best two out of 

 three, 100 shots per man each match and $25 a side. The unsatisfac- 

 tory ending of the previous match shot at Wissel's Park on April 16 

 created so much interest in the minds of the local riflemen as to the 

 merits of the two men that it was expected that there would be a 

 large gathering of lovers of rifle shooting to witness the second con- 

 test, hut such was not the case. Outside of a few friends of Ross's 

 from Williamsburgh, there were but few people present to take in the 

 sport. The weather on Saturday morning opened fair, with a mod- 

 erate southeast wind. The two contestants were on the grounds in 

 the early forenoon, and went into preliminary practice. 



Ross was apparently in good form. Dorrler, who never looks 

 healthy, looked decidedly off in form, and eventually, as the match 

 progressed, his shooting showed that the old veteran was not in condi- 

 tion for brilliant work. In settling the preliminaries previous to the 

 opening of the contest, Geb. Krauss was made referee. Colin Boag 

 was present to look after the iuterests of Dorrler in the shooting house. 



At the target house was stationed Geo. Klingelhoefer for;Ross and 

 Geo. Purkess for Dorrler, who acted as judges and supervisors of the 

 markers. With the finish of every 10-shot score of each contestant 

 the judges sent up to the shooting house the results, where they were 

 compared with the scores kept by the score keepers at that point and 

 verified. Thus all possibilities for errors were reduced to a minimum. 

 Dorrler was the first to declare his readiness to begin the contest. A 

 few more shots on the part of Ross, and he, too, was ready. By a 

 preconcerted signal the old targets were run down and new, clean 

 targets put up in their place. At this point, about 11 A. M., thereferee 

 declared the match open. Dorrler was the first to lead off, scoring a 

 20. Ross followed with 21. Dorrler's second shot was 19 and Ross's 23. 



Dorrler's third shot was a 15. and when it was recorded it sent a 

 chill down the spine of the Dorrler contingent present; but a moment 

 later Ross, who seemed to have been struck with the same fit of un- 

 steadiness, scored a 17. This seemed to have the effect of relieving the 

 demoralization in the Dorrler camp for the time being. It was only 

 temporary, however, for Dorrler scored a 19 on his fourth shot, while 

 Ross followed with a flag (25). From this point to the end of string 

 (10 shots) Dorrler could not seem to bunch his shots in the middle of 

 the eye, his total for the 10 shots scoring only 203, while Ross, who 

 seemed to gain confidence, settled down to his work and succeeded in 

 putting up the good score of 225, leaving Dorrler 22 points behind— 

 altogether too much of a lead for two men evenly matched. Dorrler's 

 second string, 218, was a little improvement, but Ross fiuished his sec- 

 ond string with a total of 220, adding 5 points more to his lead. With 

 the beginning of the third string Dorrler seemed to get down to his old 

 form, and finished his score with a total of 234, against 221 for Ross. 

 The fourth score opened with each man apparently settled down to do 

 his best. Dorrler finished his score with a total of 224, against 215 for 

 Ross. Dorrler in the last two scores had reduced Ross's lead of 27 

 points down to 9, and it looked as though the old veteran would yet 

 crawl out of his dilemma. The fi f th string resulted in a total of 217 for 

 Dorrler against 216 for Ross, reducing the lead of the latter to 8 points. 

 At this point the two contestants laid aside their rifles for a short rest 

 and to await the passing of a shower of rain which had been gathering 

 during the forenoon. 



With the passing away of the storm came the resumption of the 

 match. Dorrler's sixth string was a decided disappointment to his 

 followers; he finished it with a total of 207 points against 228 for 

 Ross. The result of this score raised Ross's lead to 29 points. The 

 seventh string added 11 points more to Ross's lead, Dorrler making 

 214 againRt 225 for Ross. In the eighth string Dorrler reduced the 

 lead 8 points, making 228 against 222 for Ross. On the ninth string 

 Dorrler gained 1 point, making 223 against 222 for Ross. The tenth 

 and last string of the match resulted in a tie, each man making 223, 

 and giving Ross the match by a margin of 31 points on a total of 2,215 

 against 2.184 for Dorrler. 



There was during the match no incident of an unfavorable charac- 

 ter to mar the spirit of goodfellowship between the two contestants 

 or their followers. There was a decided absence of the betting ele- 

 ment and in the interest of the shoot we are pleased that such was 

 the case. The return match will be shot at Cypress Hills, the date of 

 which is yet undecided. Scores:

Independendent New York Schuetzen Corps. 



The third monthly shoot of the Independent New York Corps, Cap 

 Wm. V. Weber, for the present season, took place in Washington 

 Park of last week. While the weather was all that could be desired 

 for outdoor sport, there was only a moderate attendance of the 

 members. The usual quota of the experts of the Corps were on hand 

 prepared to compete for the honors for high scores on the various 

 targets. To one who enjoys the sport of rifle shooting the afternoon 

 was replete with interesting incidents. 



Among the many good marksmen present were to be seen Wm 

 Haves, Gus Zimmerman, B. Walther, Geb. Krauss, Ignatz Marten 

 Geo. E Jantzer, Alex Stein. Ernest Fisher, Herman Weber J. Bitt 

 schier, Aug. Schmitt, and others. Captain Weber was on hand look- 

 ing after the details of the shoot. On the ring target there were som 

 fine scores made. 5 shots constituted a score, possible 125. Wm. 

 Hayes led his competitors with a score of 117, Geb Krauss was secon 

 with 116, Geo. E. Jantzer third with 115, and Gus Zimmerman fourth 

 with 114. 



On the man target B, Walther divided the honors with Gus Zimmer- 

 man, each having 58 out of a possible 60. Wm. Hayes was second

Chicago Rifles. 



Chicago, 111 , April 28.— A good deal of interest centers in the tele- 

 graph match between the Pastime Rifle Club, of Chicago, and the 

 Missouri Rifle and Pistol Club, which takes place Tuesday evening. 

 May 1, between 8 and 12 P. tit., each club shooting in its own city. A 

 close competition is anticipated, as there are excellent shots in each 

 team of ten men. 



In a letter to Mr. E. Hough concerning this shoot, Mr. Sam G. Dor- 

 man, St. Louis, adds some interesting matter pertaining to the rifle. 

 He says: "Rifle shooting in this city has been practically dead since 

 the close of the tournaments last fall, but the prospect is encouraging 

 for the coming season. A new 200yds. range is being built by the Cen- 

 tral Sharpshooters, near the southern limits of the city, which will 

 be probably the finest range in the western country. The target 

 house has been completed and the shooting house is nearly so. The 

 announcement of their opening shoot may be looked for next 

 month. The members of other clubs in this city have commenced 

 practice, and a few more days will bring the boys all together once 

 more. But if rifle shooting is to be encouraged, we want no more 

 repetition of the last Cypress Hills affair. Like the rest of the cranks 

 I had the shoot all figured nut. and so far as the principals are con- 

 cerned I have no faultto find. But when I receivdthe official report in 

 Forest and Stream I found I had in my figuring overlooked the most 

 important factor, I had figured on only two men being in the race."
