that, because his horses had been always started by drum tap, that 
style should be adopted when his horse ran for the Goodwood Cup. 
In all regular fixtures of sport which are open to all there must be 
unchangeable conditions. IE you don't like them, stay out: but if you 
go in and are beaten, don't kick on account of conditions which you 
accepted, should be the motto for all contestants, no matter at what 
game. 
In matches, of course, there is every opportunity for seeking to 
enforce one's wishes as to conditions, and there is an- old English 
maxim regarding this which is -well to bear in mind, and that is, "A 
match well made is half won." 
The "Vigilant and Britannia had one match race for which conditions 
were mutually arranged, and the Vigilant was fortunate to be the 
winner. 
The more of these international events we have the better able we 
will be to accept success or defeat gracefully, but at present foreign- 
ers accuse us of being altogether too much aroused by the necessity 
of being successful, approaching too often a beforehand assurance, 
which is hard to back down from should defeat ensue. Monitor.

Zettler Rifle Club. 
Cypress Hru-s Park, Oct. 7.— The Zettler Rifle Club held its bi- 
monthly shoot in this park this morning. The weather was fine and the 
light clear. The most of the regulars were on hand at an early hour 
prepared to contest every possible point in order to get the top score. 
From New Jersey came Dorrler, Hansen and Plaisted. From the Har- 
lem district were Holges and Walther. The Williamsburgh contingent 
was well represented by Krause, Giinther and Ross, the latter adding 
further honors to his reputation as an expert by making the good 
score of 1.114 points in 50 snoots. 
The man target brought out the usual competition. Ross was high 
on this target, making a full score of 60 points. Scores:

Hansen Defeats Watts. 
Newark, N. J., Oct. 6.— The return match between L. P. Hansen, of 
Jersey City, and F. C. Watts, of this city, was shot off in the Schuetzen 
Park this afternoon. The previous match was shot on Sept. 22, 50 
shots per man, and resulted in a victory for Hansen, with a margin of 
11 points. The match to-day was a repetition of the first. The total 
score of both contestants in the first match was below the average of 
their usual work, and it was expected by the friends of each that in 
the second match they would make a better showing. The weather 
conditions were favorable, wind light and the atmosphere clear. The 
shooting of Mr. Watts was somewhat disappointing to his Newark / 
friends, his total for the 50 shots being only 968 points. Hansen " 
seemed to be in good form from the start and opened up a gap of 26 
points on the first string. Hansen's total for the 50 shots was 1,063,^. 
beating Watts 95 points. Among the visitors who were present tov ^ 
witness the match were Wm. Hayes, J. T. B. Collins, A. Williamson, 5 
Geo. Varick. S Kastendick and Wm. Hughes. A fine lunch was served 
at the hotel following the match, the "Old Obadiah" paying 'the 
freight. Scores, 50 shots:

The New York Independent Corps. 
The New York Independent Corps, Capt. William V. Weber, held its 
practice shoot in the Glendale Schuetzen Park, L. I., on Tuesday of 
last week. The shooting house was well filled with the members of 
the corps. The competition on the targets wa<* lively. On the man 
target B. Walther was first with 58. Wm. Hayes 57. Gus. Zimmerman 
56. 1. Martin 56, Geb. Krauss 55, J. Bittschur 53, G. Greiner 50, Ernest 
Fisher 48, J G Bauer 32, Aug. Schumacher 30. 
On the ring target August Begeron was high, followed by Gus. Zim- 
merman, Wm. Hayes, I. Martin, B. Walther, Geb. Krauss, G. Greiner, 
Aug. Frank, J. Bittschur, J. G. Bauer, Aug. Schumacher and J. G. 
Halbe. 
The next shoot will be the last of the season, and will be held Oct. 
80. The prospect are that it will be a very interesting meeting for 
some of the members whose efforts to capture the season medals 
have resulted in very close or tie scores. Messrs. Zimmerman and 
Walther are said to be a tie for the man target medal . When Oct. 30 
rolls around and it finds these two marksmen in the shooting house 
and in their usual form, there will probably be a first-class contest 
over that man target medal, and he who wins it will very likely have 
put up the full limit of the target (60 points). 
Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club. 
The Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club is noted for the number of ex- 
cellent marksmen it has on its roll of membership. The - members 
never tire of practice and regularly engage in contests with rifle and 
pistol . The Roos medal is one of the club's trophies, and now this 
bids fair to fall into the possession of one of the youngest shots, A. 
H. Pape. Sept. 23, in shooting with the rifle at a standard American 
target at Shell Mound Park Mr. Pape made the highest score yet, 
namely, 92 out of a possible 100 at 200yds. This places him ahead in 
the all-around shoot. 
Mr. Pape broke the crack record with a target rifle and F. O. Young 
with a Springfield rifle on American target. Young succeeded in 
shooting nitro powder sutcessf ully in his pistol. 
For the Blanding pistol medal, all comers, Dr. Rodgers made 93, F. 
O. Young 91, A. H. Pape 90, F. Gehret 89, P. Bohr 80, Lieut. F. M. 
Davis 82, F. Poulter 80.

RIFLE NOTES. 
The National Schuetzen Bund is sending out the first edition of its 
constitution and programme for the great festival which is to be held 
in July, 1895. This issue is in the German language and is intended 
for the German societies. We understand that an English edition will 
be issued soon and distributed among the English-speaking societies'. 
'We published the programme of prizes of this great festival several 
months since. 
The Zettler Rifle Club will wind up its outdoor season shoot on Oct. 
21. There has been some bard work on the part of the regulars to 
reach high position on the prize list. Fred. Ross boosted himself on to 
the top rung early in the season, and at the present time he is beyond 
the reach of any of his competitors. Holges, Flach, Schmidt, Busse, 
Hansen, Engel et al. have all got a grip on the next rung and each is 
hoping that the other fellow will lose his hold and drop off at the next 
shoot. Quite a number are having a tug of war for the privilege of a 
hold on the bottom. It's a clear case of hustle, and when the dust of 
this shoot is cleared away it is expected that the gallery ranges of the 
club will be another lively center of interest during the fall and 
winter. The shooting committee is dangling a most enticing bait 
before the vision of the members in the form of the appended pro- 
gramme. It might to the interest of tho rifle if some of the com- 
mittees of other clubs would study this. Programme: Two hundred 
dollars donated by the club for members only. Entrance fee 20 cents 
for each target, 10 shots on 25-ring target. Each member will be 
allowed to shoot 5 targets on each Tuesday at 20 cents a target, after 
that club rates. Any .22cal rifle, short cartridge. No practice shots 
allowed. Champion trophy— The member making the best score on 
bis first target on each practice day will be entitled to wear this 
trophy until the next practice day. This trophy shall become the 
property of such member winning it the most number of times during 
the season. In case of ties, the scores to count for each. Special 
prize given by the club to the member making highest individual score 
during the season. In case of ties this prize to fall back to the club 
Special prize No. 1— A fine gold locket will be presented by the Zettler 
Bros, to the member making the best 50 targets during the season 
Special prize No. 2— A fine gold medal valued at $25 to the member 
making the following scores during the season: most 247, most 245, 
most 240, most 235. Ties to be shot off by 50-shot score. The season 
shoot opens on Tuesday, Oct. 23, 1894, and will be continued every 
Tuesday, from 9 A. M. to 12 P. M., and closes on the last Tuesday in 
April, 1895. Ring target prizes— Seventeen prizes, ranging from $30 
to 82. Should a member be absent at a shoot, he has the right to 
shoot 10 targets at the following shoot not consecutive. Should he be 
absent at two consecutive shoots, he will be allowed only to shoot 5 
targets. 
While we are on the subject of the Zettlers we would suggest to our 
brother riflemen who have never visited this famous club at its head- 
quarters that an hour or more spent in the home of the experts would 
not be thrown away, especially so if the visit is timed on a Tuesday 
night between November and April. On such nights they are gener- 
ally "At home." 
We understand that the Leonard Smokeless Powder Co. is about to 
put its powders upon the market, when it will make an earnest effort 
for the patronage of the American rifle and shotgun shooters. The 
fact that it is the product of American brains and capital will proba- 
bly create no prejudice against its use. Among the shotgun shooters 
nitro has become a fixture. Our riflemen are only waiting to become 
convinced, when they too will fall into line. Here is a score of ten 
shots, off-hand, that we saw made with nitro and afterward examined 
the shots in the targets; eight of the ten shots were in the 8in. bull; 
the two sevens were nippers and came from imperfect holding. The 
score, while not brilliant from an expert point of view, shows what 
the possibilities are with the nitro now in the market. M. Herrington 
of the New York Rifle Club has been using nitro in his .38-55 Ballard 
all the past season and he claims that his scores average as good or 
better than previous scores made with the old reliable black powder. 
Dr. Barber of the same club, who is now spending a month in the 
woods of Maine, before starting on his trip loaded up his shells with 
nitro and the Winchester copper bullet. A report of the Doctor's ex- 
perience with this cartridge while in the woods will be a matter of 
interest to us all. 
An ex -military officer (retired) during an interesting chat on the 
rifle and its use, gave us a hard nut to crack in the form of a query as 
to why the United States Ordnance Board after developing the Kraig- 
Jorgensen rifle should handicap its efficiency by such crude sights as 
have been fitted to this arm? We confess our inability to reach the 
kernel in this query. Some wag expressed the opinion that this sight 
was the only one that would stand the necessary sand and rust test, 
and it must be adopted as a part of the "up to date" military arm. 
One of our Connecticut correspondents who is interested in the 
coming champion match, writes as follows: "I see there is a 100-shot 
natch brewing. One of your contemporaries states It is for New York 
and New Jersey men. Does this mean that Connecticut is to be left
