New York Schuetzen Corps. 
The New York Schuetzen Corps, Capt. Henry Offerman, brought 
* he season shoot for the year 1804 to a close at the Union Hill Schuetzen 
Park on Friday of last week. The attendance of the members at the 
shoot on Friday was not as large as expected. The prospective 
trophy winners, however, were out in force and shot with diligence 
throughout the afternoon. The programme for the season consisted 
of ten "medals on the ring target and seventeen medals on the bullseye 
♦ ai-get. The medals on the ring target to be divided among the mem- 
bers having made the greatest numher of points during the season. 
The medals on the bullseye target to be divided among the members 
making the best center shot on the 4in. center. A member winning a 
medal on the bullseye target would not be eligible for a medal on the 
r in s target. 
After the close of the shooting on Friday the members adjourned 
to the "Castle," while the shooting committee entered into the labor 
of going ow the records of the season, selecting the highest scores, 
and measuring *he bullseyes to locate the best centers. The canvass- 
ing of the ring target resulted as follows: First medal, Philip Feigel ; 
second, August J. Christian; third, H. W. Lemcke: fourth, John G. 
Thnlke; fifth, Fred Plump; sixth, John Bunz; seventh, Henry Buttfer; 
eighth, John D. Wilkens; ninth, Henry Strate; tenth, Henry Lohden. 
The best center shot was made by Barney Zettler and measured 19 
degrees. The other medal winners came in the following order; E. 
Bindenwaldt, Dr. Chas. Grosch, Jacob Sehmitt, Fred Facompre, Fred 
Schmid r . John N. Hermann, B. Walther, J. H. Hainhorst, Wm. Hahn. 
Ernfst Kuhlmann, H. Brunke, Henry Hoops, Hugo Krobel, E. Meyn, 
J. C. Bonn, Henry Hanschen. 
After the committee had finished its labor in the committee room, 
the Captain m ,rched the company and guests into the dining hall, 
where a lunch was awaiting the hungry riflemen. The absence of 
mine host Krobel created a void which was f eelingly alluded to by Cap- 
tain Offerman John Stimmel was another absentee whose presence 
was much desired Following the lunch came the usual interlude of 
toasts and speeches. Excise. Commissioner Wm. Dalton, of New York, 
was a guest of the corps, and during the afternoon indulged in a few 
practice shots. Mr. Dalton made some good centers, and demonstra- 
ted the fact that he is not a novice in the~u.se of the rifle. The follow- 
ing appended scores were made by the members participating in the 
sboot on Friday:

RIFLE NOTES. 
The Greenville fN. J.) Rifle Club will hold a two days' gallery tour- 
nament on Nov. 10 and 11. The programme will contain eighteen 
prizes on the German ring target ranging from §30 down to $1, tickets 
3 shots, 50 cents. A special priza, an elegant diamond trophy, valued 
at $35, will head the list of premiums for most points made during 
the tournament. This prize alone will be worth a hard struggle to 
win and should be the magnet to bring all of our local experts into 
the competition. The Greenville club house is fitted with four fine 
ranges, each 81ft. long. The club, although young in years, has 
gained an enviable reputation in the past for its hospitality and 
good fellowship in entertaining brother riflemen and forwarding the 
interests of rifle shooting. 
The Zettler brothers inform us that the interest in the coming 
championship match, which takes place Nov. 6, is booming. The 
prospects are that the entries will exceed that of last year. This leads 
us to remark that rifle matters in all parts o( the country are showing 
a decided improvement. Our correspondents all speak favorably of 
the conditions of rifle interests in their several localities and look for 
a decided improvement with the opening of the season of 1895. 
On the Pacific coast even tbe ladies are becoming enthusiastic over 
the rifle. At a meeting of the California Schuetzen Club at San 
Rafael some days since Miss Lizzie Utschig, daughter of that old 
veteran John Utschig, made 115 points out of a possible 125 on the 
German ring target. 
The international festival which takes place in July, 1895, is already 
having its effect upon our local societies. The Zettler Bros, report 
that their gallery ranges will be occupied nearly every night during 
the comine winter by different societies in order to get their members 
into shooting form for the coming season. 
We have before us three targets make last week using Troisdorf 
nitro One of the targets contained twenty-five shots all inclosed in a 
rectangle 4% by f J4' n shot from machine rest using lead bullet; dis- 
tance 200yds Another 10 shot group was contained inside a rectangle 
measurine 4% by 4}^in. Another target made from muzzle rest at the 
German Ring target, twenty-five shots were all insida the 19 ring. 
This targets foots up a total of 560 points averaging 22.4. 
We have had inquiries as to whether the California Powder Co's. 
Nitro "("Peyton)" powder was in the market or not? We have not 
seen this brand of powder in the hands of riflemen except in the gov- 
ernment cartridge. So we are inclined to the belief that it has not yet 
reached the open market. 
Our Paterson, N. J., correspondent Wm. Dutcher, in writing of the 
Paterson Rifle Club says: "There has bpen less shooting in Paterson 
this season than there has been in many years. Dull times and the 
enforced idleness of our shooters through lack of work has kept the 
rifles in idleness as well." Of the future he speaks with the spirit of 
hopefulness from the fact that the hoodlums are going, etc. 
L. P. Hansen and Frank C. Watts will shoot off their return match 
one hundred shots each in the Newark Schiltr.en Park on Saturday of 
this week. The "Old Obediah" expects to dine at the expense of 
brother Hansen after the finish of this contest. Hansen says, nay Obed. 
All ties divided unless otherwise reported.

Emerald Gun Club's Programme. 
The programme issued by the Emerald Gun Club of New York for 
its three days' tournament at Miller's Dexter Park on Oct. 22. 23 and 
24 is a varied one, and contains events at targets of a size that should 
suit both amateur and expert, in si far as both could be suited. The 
following from the programme shows that the Emeralds are thinking 
of the amateurs: ''To encourage the amateur the Emerald Gun Club 
adds 10 per cent, of net purse to the regular 10-bird events for a fifth 
money, provided there are 25 or more entries in each of such events, 
so that 6 out of 10 divides something." 
Oct. 22, "New York day," contains 12 events calling for 180 shots; 
two events are at unknown angles and two. both 20-target events, are 
shot under expert rules, use of both barrels. The events on this day 
are respectively dedicated to twelve New York gun clubs. The second 
day, Oct. 23, is termed "New Jersey day," and has a programme, the 
duplicate of that arranged for Oct. 22, each event being dedicated to 
some New Jersey club. Targets at 2 cents each will be deducted from 
the purses; all guns stand at the 16yds. mark; empire targets will be 
used on both days. 
The third 'day, Oct. 24, is live bird day, the main event being the 
Empire City handicap. The conditions of this contest are handicaps 
from 26 to 33yds. rise, 25 live birds per man from 5 ground traps, gun 
in any position, boundary approximate 80yds,; class shootin?. 4 
moneys, 4 misses out, entranc 810 and the price of the birds. The 
first 15 birds of this event will form another event with an extra 
entrance of $5, 3 moneys, straight shooting, high guns to get the 
money. Entrance to either or both optional. Forfeit of handicap, 
S3, to be sent to G. V. Hudson, M.D , recording secretary of the club, 
9 Madison street, New York. Entries to both events close when first 
gun is fired. In case the handicap is not finished on Oct, 24, the event 
will be concluded the following day, and the balance of that day de- 
voted to various events at live birds, miss and outs, etc. To the purse 
in the Empire City handicap the Emerald Gun Club adds 8100. 
Brownsville Beats Ripley. 
Brownsville, Sept. 29.— After much bantering the Brownsville and 
Ripley gun clubs met in a friendly contest on last Thursday to decide 
as to the superior skill of the two clubs at tbe trap, the Brownsville 
team carrying off the honors as well as the handsome bouquet pre- 
pared, we were told, by the young ladies of Ripley, and just here will 
say that we are glad to see the ladies manifesting so much interest in 
our shoots, for their presence is always an inspiration to the young 
men of Brownsville. Borli teams did well when you consider the fact 
that we are but novices , at the trap, none of us having evtr had 
any experience in shooting at inanimate targets until this season. 
Two of the Brownsville team lost a shot by not being familiar with 
the workings of their newpump guns, they failing to throw a cartridge 
in their guns when called to the score. The Brownsville Club have 
adopted yellow as their color, and with just a little more practice, 
when you see a yellow streamer fluttering at the score, you may 
expect to hear the old familiar cry of "dead." Each club was repre- 
sented by 9 men, 12 targets per man, known traps, known angles. The 
following is the score: 
Brownsville Team. Ripley Team.

Evil Spirit Et Al. 
Chicago, Sept. 27 — An impartial look at the recent sections of the 
career of Dr, Carver, alias Evil Spirit of The Plains, would indicate 
that he would better pause and make medicine. Jimmy J. A. R. 
Elliott took three falls out of him straight, and Billy O'Fallon Crosby, 
just a plain farmer boy, with no fringe on him, got one decision out 
of three last week. The scores of the series being: Carver 93, 95, 95; 
Crosby 95, 89, 92. We will be glad to see some of these good people 
oome to Chicago, but I fear me we will not see so many 95 scores there.
