Rifle in Texas. 



[ A prize rifle tournament took place at Cut Off, a station on the 

 Southern Pacific east of San Antonio, which was attended by 104 con- 

 testants. Mr. Uhas. Bummel, Dr. A. Herf, Mr. E. Teich and Capt. E. 

 A. Dos^h, of San Antonio, represented the Alamo City, and struck a 

 hot nest of riiie experts. They report the shooting splendid, the 

 country smiling witu flo« ers and good crops, but the execrable music 

 furnished for the occasion caused a shrinking of the San Antonians 1 

 medulla oblongata, and they attribute their failure to stand in the 

 front row to the horrible fanfaronades of the country band. Condi- 

 [tions, four shots at 125 and four shots at 175yds., American standard 

 target, 10s only to count. Possible 80 points, open sights. The prize 

 [winners are as follows:

New York Independent Schuetzen Corps. 



The third monthly practice shoot of the New York Independent 

 Corps was held in the Union Hill Schuetzen Park on Wednesday of last 

 week. This corps held its previous shoots in Washington Park, but 

 the destruction by Are of the latter park a few days since forced the 

 corps to transfer its shoot for the present to New Jersey. The attend- 

 ance at Union Hill was light. The weather was clear and warm, the 

 atmosphere was, however, heavily charged with moisture from the 

 rain the day previous, and the consequence was that the targets were 

 somewhat obscured by fog. Notwithstanding the unfavorable condi- 

 tions there were some go d scores made by the members who partici- 

 pated in the shoot. The best score on the ring target was made by 

 Wm. Hayes with 115, Gus Zimmerman was second with 113 Gus Zim- 

 merman was first on the man target with 59, Alex. Stein was second 

 with 58. On the peint target Gus Zimmerman was high with 19, Ignatz 

 Marten and B. Walther tied for second place with 18 each. Scores:

Quickening the Schedule of the Pennsylvania 

 Limited between New York, Phila- 

 delphia and Chicago. 



A general change of time will go into effect on the Pennsylvania 

 Railroad lines on May 27. 



The principal change is in the Pennsylvania Limited, the schedule of 

 which is greatly quickened between the East and the West. The im- 

 portance of this train to thy traveling public is appreciated by the 

 management, and nothing is left undone to make it the beat and most 

 attractive passenger tram in the world. The great improvements 

 recently made In the splendid road bed of the Pennsylvania, the elim- 

 ination of curves, the laying of additional tracks, and the perfected 

 block signal system enables the company to make the schedule of 

 twenty-four hours between New York and Chicago with greater ease, 

 comfort, and safety to the passenger than under the old schedule, of 

 twenty-six hours. 



On the new schedule the Limited will leave New York at 10 A. M., 

 Philadelphia 12:20 P. M., Washington 10:30 A. M., Baltimore 11:40 A. M., 

 arrive Pittsburgh 9:15 P. M., and arrive at Chicago 9 o'clock the next 

 morning. The east-bound train will leave Chicago 5:30 P. M., leave 

 Pittsburgh 7:15 A. M., arrive Baltimore 4:20 P. M., Washington 5:45 

 P. M.. Philadelphia 4:17, and New York 6:30 P. M. It will be equipped 

 with Pullman perfected vestibule sleeping, dining, smoking ana obser- 

 vation cars. 



This is the best and most conveniently adjusted schedule of any 

 train in service between the East and the West. The New York man 

 who has business in Chicago may arrive there in the morning, execute 

 his mission, and depart for the East in the afternoon, having had the 

 benefit of a full day in Chicago.— Adv.

It will give us great pleasure to forward a copy of our catalogue to any

 charge for the postage, some charge for both. We are more than willing to 

 give away our catalogues and prepay postage on them. No angler, after 

 looking at the catalogue, can resist buying from us or from our trade- 

 customers all the fishing-tackle he can afford to pay for. That is where we 

 get back a good deal more than cost of catalogue and postage.
