Zettler Rifle Club. 



The Zettler Kifle Club held its third practice shoot for the season in 

 Wissel's Cypress Hills Park on May 6. Fifteen members were present, 

 twelve of whom participated in the competition for the club prizes. 

 Tbe weather conitions were decidedly bad. Rain and fog prevailed a 

 greater part of the time during the shoot, and at times the bullseye 

 was hard to locate. 



The scores as a whole were good. Henry Holges was m fine form, 

 and made the highest score of the day. Plaisted and Ross met again 

 in a 50 shot handicap match, Ross granting his opponent 25 points. 

 Plaisted won by a margin of 7 points. 



On the man target Zimmerman and Ross tied for first prize, each 

 with a score of 58 out of a possible 60. Scores; 



Handicap match, Plaisted vs Ross, 50 shots:

The Chicago - St. Louis Telegraph Match. 



The series of telegraph matches between the Pastime Club of Chi- 

 cago and the Missouri Rifle and Pistol Club of St. Louis, had an inaus- 

 picious oegioning. When the team of the first mentioned club gath- 

 ered at the gallery of L G. Ingersoll & Sons in Chicago on Tuesday 

 evening, May 1, there were two men less than the required ten. Four 

 of the best shots were absent, namely, Messrs Long: of Lafayette, 

 Ind., Wills and lahee of Alton. 111., and Hankie of Chicago. Two of 

 these were absent on account of business and two from illness. 



It is useless to go into any extended particulars of the match, since 

 the conditions were so violated at the Chicago end that it could not be 

 considered a contest. Loose management prevailed throughout in the 

 working of the Chicago team It must in justice be said of the mem- 

 bers of that team that individually they shot with the utmost fairness 

 and I believe desired to scrupulously observe all tbe conditions of the 

 contest. They shot well and proved themselves excellent material in 

 a contest as well as most companionable gentlemen. The fault was 

 in the management. 



Mr. L. G. Ingersoll captained the team. He objected to the shooters 

 standing at 43ft., since it would put him to some inconvenience, as his 

 shortest range was 50ft. 



Mr. Freeman, a Chicago journalist, was engaged to referee the 

 Chicago team for St. Louis, but was detained so late that the shoqt 

 was nearly over when he arrived. I was invited to referee in his 

 place, but, being busy, I so explained the circumstance to Mr. Inger- 

 soll and suggested that he get some one else, but if he could not find 

 any acceptable referee I would act. He then went on with the shoot 

 till the sixth or seventh man had shot, without any referee 



The individual scores were not telegraphed immediately, as the con- 

 ditions required, though the telegraph office was but three blocks 

 away. "When eight men had shot, Mr. Ingersoll announced that there 

 were gentlemen present who desired to shoot on the team, but as 

 they had not shot in his gallery he would not accept them, as he 

 would insist on knowing each shooter's capabilities. He then said 

 the scores of the two absent members wouid be composite, each one 

 of the team in succession shooting one shot till the scores were com- 

 pleted. He explained that such was allowable. Yet, it was a viola- 

 tion of the conditions, as will hereinafter appear. 



The individual scores of the St. Louis team began coming in 

 promptly, but not receiving any in return they sent a message of in- 

 quiry. 



The question of a referee coming up in the latter part of the shoot 

 lasted till the end, but it could not be considered otherwise than 

 informal, so that the St. Louis team was virtually without a referee, 

 since refereeing two or three scores could not be considered refereeing 

 according to the conditions. Following are the scores: 



The Pastime Club: Tbos. J. Storr 45, L"uis Jordan 47, Geo. Newpert 

 48, J. H. George 48, F. W. Morgan 46, Fred Ingersoll 48, R. S. McBean 

 48, L. F. Ingersoll 45. Composite scores, T. Tracy 44, J. E. Long, 46. 

 Total, 465. , „ . . 



Missouri Rifle and Pistol Club— Geo. T. Dunn 46, Mr. Buchanan 46, 

 A. P. Gosnell 47, W. Bauer 47, F. Hutchinson 44, Capt. W. P. Schaaf 

 46, H. H. Henderson 49. S. G. Dorman 50, Mi*. Staley 48, C. Vogt 38. 

 Total, 461. 



Mr. Chas. R. Frederickson acted as referee for the Chicago team m 

 St. Louis. From him I received a courteous letter under date of May 

 2 from which I quote the following: 



'•The club in a body objected to accepting the scores credited to 

 Messrs. Long and Tracy, and as I could find nothing in the rules per- 

 mitting composite scores, and did know of rules which prohibited 

 competitors from shooting under any but their own names, which 

 rule was certainly violated by every contestant according to your 

 last message, I had no other alternative but to give way to the chal- 

 lenge of the club. The only basis which the St. Louis Club seemed 

 disposed to settle on is, as I wired last evening, to take the eight 

 highest on each side, which will, I believe, give Capt. Schaaf and his 

 men a victory by four points. " 



The St. Louis Club had good grounds for their objections. The 

 match as shot was inconclusive. There were in Chicago negligence 

 and disregard of the conditions of the match, which savored more of 

 expeditiously getting revenue from the shooting gallery than con- 

 ducting a contest for honor and goodfellowship. B. "Waters.

Owing to a mistake in making a 6in. instead of a 4in. bullseye at 

 50yds , the scores made up to now this year have to be recounted, the 

 bull counting 5 instead of 7, owing to that being the proper count on a

About thirty sportsmen went to Al. Heritage's Marion grounds on 

 Saturday, May 5, with the expectation of seeing a 50-bird exhibition 

 shoot between Brewer snd Morfey, announced to take place at 2 P. M. 

 They were doomed to disappointment, however, as neither of the 

 principals materialized, nor did they condescend to send any reason 

 for their non-appearance. After considerab'e justifiable grumbling 

 had been indulged in, the shooters present decided to shoot off the 

 birds provided for the exhibition. The fir*t event was at 5 birds, $3 

 entry, two moneys; the second at 7 birds, $5 entry, two moneys; and 

 the third a $2 miss and out. The results were:
