RIFLE NOTES. 
When the farmer turns his steers into the barn-yard on a frosty 
morning there is usually a little elevation of the caudal appendage 
and more or less locking of horns of the frisky bovines, a sort of by- 
play as it were to start the circulation. A group of riflemen gathered 
in the shooting-house after a day at the butts are not unlike the far- 
mer's steers. While we canonly work in the horns and the caudal 
appendage in a figurative sense as applied to the genus rifleman, 
there is much in the peculiar antics of the two that lead to the simile. 
Following the finish of the champion match at Wissel's Cypress 
Hills Park last week and previous to the adjournment from the shoot- 
ing-house to the hotel, some one prodded Ignatz Martin in the ear 
with the query: Why don't yon challenge Busse for a hundred shot 
match? That was enough; immediately Martin's horn (challenge) was 
prodding Busse's ribs, and there was fun in the shooting-house. In 
the meantime while Busse and Martin were prancing round boch Mike 
Dorrler and Fred. C. Ross each got a prod in the ribs from some one. 
This brought these two worthies into the fracas, and from this point 
there developed an argument in which Martin and Ross were lined up 
on one side and Dorrler and Busse on the other. The final outcome 
was a 100 shot match, for stake of $50 a side to be shot off on Thanks- 
giving day in Cyress Hills Park. Some of the other riflemen who 
were present and were dissatisfied with their scores made during the 
day made the proposition that an open sweepstakes shoot be gotten 
up to take place at the same time, the same to be open to all comers, 
100 shots each, $5.00 entrance. Here is an opportunity for some of 
the unfortunates of the election day shoot to get consolation. 
Wm. Armbruster, proprietor of the Greenville (N. J.) Schuetzen 
Park, is putting the shooting house in shape for open practice shoot- 
ing during the winter. Last season there was shooting in this park 
on every Saturday during the winter. 
Barney Zettler in his remarks to the shooters assembled in Wissel's 
dining room Tuesday evening said: "Charles and I are back num- 
bers about ready for the shelf or the waste basket. But! We'll shoot 
any two Old men of our age for fun or gelt." Charles says. "I second 
that motion." Are there any O. F.'s to take up this gauntlet? 
As a matter of interest to our rifle cranks, we have gathered the 
following information relating to the style of rifle, powder, charge 
and bullet, used by the contestants in the Cypress Hills Park niatcti on 
Election Day. 
Messrs. Ross, Holges, Flach and Hansen use the Ballard action 
fitted with the "Schalk" barrel .32-40, using about 36grs. Hazard 
powder F. G. These rifles vary in weight from 12 to 151bs. 
Harry M. Pope is another disciple of the late Geo. Schalk, of Potts- 
ville, Pa.; he uses the Winchester action with a Schalk— Pope barrel, 
.35cal. Mr. Pope at times varies the monotony of the shooting range 
by the use of nitro as a priming charge or otherwise. 
Geo. W. Plaisted uses a Ballard .38-50 old style rechambered for 55- 
grain new shell. This shell swelled out to chamber, holds nearly 
60grs. of powder. Bullet SOOgrs, The powder charge used by this 
crank varies according to his humor and the weather conditions. 
Sometimes it is 8grs. nitro and 40grs. black powder Hazard F. G.. then 
again it is 3grs. nitro and 55grs. black powder. Sometimes when in 
a dyspeptic condition he drops the black powder and fills up with all 
nitro, on such occasions his companions generally move over to the 
other end of the shooting bouse in order not to be brought into com- 
plications with the Coroner, in case the combination should open up 
long expected developments. 
Michael Dorrler, another crank of long standing, and who is said to 
have been pretty well up in shooting matters in the early history of 
American rifle shooting, still retains his Ballard action, into which he 
has fitted a relic (barrel) which he discovered some time since while 
delving for sometbing better than there was on the surface. This 
relic is a .38-55 Remington "special" barrel in its early days, was made 
for H«>nry Oehl. Mr. Oebl is by the way one of our retired experts. 
He used to make it warm for the boys in times past. His shooting 
history antedates that of Dorrler's somewhat. But the barrel, unlike 
the shooter, has retained its youth or at least its shooting qualities, 
and at the present time is capable of doing excellent work. Mr. Dorr- 
ler uses the 255 patched bullet (home made), his powder charge is 
55grs. Hazard's FFG powder. 
R. Busse uses a Ballard action with a "Phillips" barrel .40-55cal. 
This barrel was originally fitted into a muzzle action and was built 
for the late Major Geo. Arey. This rifle is capable of good work when 
properly held. 
Next we come to the Zettler brothers, Charles and Barney. These 
two old veterans never come on to the range twice with the same 
equipment. Their stock of rifles is so large and varied that they are 
never able to get bold of the last one the next time. About the only 
thing that comes to tbem consecutively is the bullets, these are always 
"Zettler," one and the same. 
G*b Krauss and Ignatz Martin both use Ballard .38-55 reaut by the 
Z9ttlers and use the Zettler bullet, weight 270. 
New Rifles. 
The Marlin Fire Arms Co. have just brought out a .25-20 repeater. 
This cartridge is loaded with tbe regular 86grs. bullet and with FFFG 
powder; its penetration is greater than that of tbe .32-20. Tbe rifle is 
furnished in the model 1894 and at the same discounts as the regular 
rifles of this model, and can be furnished with any length of barrel 
or style of magazine. In the ease of pistol grip rifles, however, it will 
be furnished in the 1839 model for the present. This is the only .25cal. 
repeater on the market. 
Improvements have also been made in the cartridges for the model 
1891 .32cal. rifle. These cartridges are still kept at the same price as 
the old .32, although they are much improved. In their improved 
form they are manufactured by the U. M. C. Co. 
The Winchester Repeating Arms Co. in tbeir latest catalogue for 
November, announce a new repeater "model of 1894," to take the .32- 
40 or the .38-55 cartridges. This gun is a light-weight, varying from 
7J41bs. to73^lbs., and is operated by a new system. It will no doubt 
be extremely popular. 
An addition to this catalogue is an instructive table giving the veloc- 
ity, penetration and traj»ctory of all Winchester rifles. 
In the catalogue also is listed for the first time fixed ammunition 
charged with smokeless powder. These cartridges include the old .38 
Win., the .38 S. & W., the .32 Win., and the 32 S. & W., as well as the 
.30cal. army and the .236cal. navy cartridges. 
All ties divided unless otherwise reported.

Tbe London Field of Oct. 27 states that the following arrangements 
have been made for the pigeon shooting season at Monte Carlo: "The 
sweepstakes shooting will commence on Dec. 10, and will continue 
each Monday, Wednesdav, and Friday until Jan 11. The preliminary 
contests will begin on Tuesday, Jan. 15, and terminate on Monday, 
the 28th, the international prizes being shot for on Jan. 30 and Feb. 1, 
4, 5 7, and 9, the Grand Prix itself being fixed for the 4th and 5th 
(Monday and Tuesday). There will be a second and third series of 
competitions from Feb. 11 to March 15; and there will be the usual 
pistol and target shooting competitions throughout the winter, with 
the same liberal prize list, which has made this meeting so famous." 
J. L. Brewer left New York city at 2 P. M. on Saturday en route for 
Chicago, where he this week me».ts Dr. W. F. Carver in a series of 
three 100-bird races for the championship of the world. The dates set 
were Nov.;i3, 14 and 15. Beforeleaving Brewer said that he expected to 
be back in a week's time, as he had finally decided not to go to Kansas 
City for a race or two with Elliott for merely $100 a side each race. 
"If I defeat Carver," he said, "and I feel just as confident of doing 
that same thing as possible, Elliott can ceme to New York and shoot 
me a series of races for the championship. Budd and Grim are said 
to be in Chicago waiting for me, but I don't expect to shoot any more 
matches there than the three with Carver." Of course Brewer may 
change his mind before Saturday. 
Mr. N. A, Hughes, the president of the State Sportsmen's Associa- 
tion, called a meeting of the committees at the Commonwealth Hotel, 
Harrisburg, Pa. , Nov. 10, at 2 P.M. The following members were 
present: N. A, Hughes, Williamsport; J. O'H. Denny, Latrobe; Jas. 
Wolstencroft, Philadelphia; Wm. H. Wolstencroft, Philadelphia; Jas. 
H. Worden, Harrisburg; H. M. F. Worden, Harrisburg; W. L. Powell, 
Harrisburg, and Harry Thurman, Germantown. Work of value to 
Philadelphia sportsmen who are interested in the protection of game 
birds an > animals, was the result of this meeting. Another meeting 
of the different committees will be called at Harrisburg early next 
year, when the bills intended to be fathered by the Association will be 
in shape for presentation. 
Kingston, N. Y., Nov. 6.— The Pansy Gun Club of this place, held a 
shoot on Saturday last. The badge contest resulted as follows- 
Reddick, 30 out of 41; Smith, 23 out of 25; Elbac. 22 out of 25; Ten 
Broeck, 22 out of 39; Kenyon, 19 out of 35; Hume, 18 out of 25. A 
team race, three men to a side, 25 live birds each, resulted in favor of 
Smith's team. Scores: Smith 23, Kenyon 19, Hume 18, total 60' Elbac 
22, Reddick 19, Haut 16, total 57. 
The proof reader played the mischief with the Work— Brewer match 
reported in last week's issue. Brewer's last 25 was killed straight, his 
100th bird was not missed as given in the score; the total also was 
carried out as 35 instead of 25. In Brewer's account of the race it 
should have been 97 birds of George Work's 98 could have been 
gathered within a 21-yard boundary, not 87 as it was made to read. 
Dr. W. A. Little won the Pfaender badge of the Coney Island Rod 
and Gun Club at the club shoot held at Dexter Park, L. I , on Wednes- 
day last, Nov. 7. Tbe shoot was at 7 livo birds, club handicap; Dr. 
Little killed all his birds. A curious feature of the race was the fact 
that J. B. Voorhees, Adam Eppig and Fred Pfaender also killed all 
their birds, but each lost one dead out of bouods, thus scoring 6 a 
piece 
Billy Mills, the Dexter Park (L. I.) trapper, showed on Election Day 
that he can shoot pigeons equally as well as he can retrieve them. In 
a three-cornered match at 100 birds each, he stood at 30yds. while his 
opponents, James A. Hollwell, a veteran, was at 28, and Hank Gilbert, 
a novice, stood at 25. Mills scored 96, Hollwell 91 and Gilbert 84. 
The eighth tournament of the Connecticut Trap-Shooters' League, 
advertised originally for Oct. 25, postponed "on account of a heavy 
rainstorm until Nov. 9, has again had to be postponed on account of 
bad weather. No date has "yet been fixed for the shoot, but it is 
understood that an early day will be chosen. 
W. R. Hobart, of the Winchester Repeating Arms Co., and secretary 
of the South Side Gun Club of Newark, N. J., is doing a good deal of 
hustling just now looking to the ultimate success of bis club's fifteenth 
annual New Year's Day tournament. 
The Forest Hill Gun Club of Philadelphia, Pa., will hold an all-day 
shoot at targets on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 29. The club's grounds 
are located at Twenty-seventh street and Lehigh avenue, Philadelphia. 
For programmes address Wm. Morrison, secretary, 1943 Ridge 
avenue, Philadelphia. 
Justus Von Lengerke arrived back from Sullivan county, N. Y., on 
Wednesday morning with a nice string of ruffed grouse and rabbits. 
Gus Grieff also scored 11 on Election Day. N. B.— Why is it that some 
ruffed grouse have gray tails, others chestnut? 
A match was made at Carteret last Wednesday, between George 
Work and L. S. Thompson. Both want a bicycle badly, so they agreed 
to shoot a race at 100 live birds each at Hollywood, on Nov. 13, Tues- 
day of this week. The winner buys a bicycle, the loser paying for it 
and the birds as well. 
W. Fred Quimby is hunting quail in Maryland; Chas. C. Hebbard 
and M. F. Lindsley are after Bob Whites in New Jersey, while Justus 
von Lengerke added to his Sullivan county record by bringing into the 
city on Monday morning a nice string of ruffed grouse killed on Satur- 
day in the Greenwood Lake district. 
The second day's programme of the Townsend benefit shoot, which 
was postponed from Oct. 31 until Nov. 8, had to be postponed once 
more, owing to the awful weather which prevailed on that day. No 
day has yet been set for the carrying out of the programme. 
During the "Williams"— Brokaw shoot at the Country Club's grounds 
on Thursday last, any number of ducks, coots, "old squaws" and 
black ducks were to be seen at intervals flying up and down tbe 
Sound. 
John T. Mascroft, "the Mayor of Sutton," as he is called down East 
better known in New York city and vicinity as the gentleman who is 
"a little nervous," shot a race with Tom Keller on Thursday, Nov. 8, 
at 25 targets. He was beaten by a score of 24 to 19. Nervousness will 
tell at times. 
That was a warm squad of amateurs which competed for the Inter- 
Club cup at Carteret on Wednesday, Nov. 7. It was constituted as 
follows: Capt. A. W. Money, Messrs. J. Seaver Page, George Work, 
Fred Hoey, L. S. Thompson and J. Knapp. 
Thursday of this week, Nov. 15, Eddie Hill, of Trenton, N. J., and 
T. W. Morfey, Paterson, N. J., will shoot a match at 100 live birds each 
for $100 a side. The match will take place at Charlie Zwirlein's 
grounds at Yardville, N. J. 
The match between T. W. Morfey, of Paterson, N. J., and F. Batsch 
of Elizabeth, N. J., which takes place on Wednesday of this week, is 
creating a lot of interest. The shoot commences at 2 P. M., on the 
grounds of the Elizabeth Gun Club. Both men shoot on even terms. 
Pennsylvania trap-shooters will be interested to learn that J. E. 
Eogland ("Bessemer") has decided to give up target shooting alto- 
gether; he will in future devote himself to live birds whenever be has 
the time to spare. 
The season for game shooting is notoriously a bad one for news in 
the trap-Fhooting world, so many trap-shooters taking advantage 
of every opportunity to steal a few days in the field or among the 
forests. 
The Valley City Gun Club, of Grand Rapids, Mich., have claimed 
May 80 and 31 as the dates for their tournament in 1895. The amount 
of added money will be announced later. 
O. Furgueson. Jr., and A. A. Hegeman are booked to shoot a race at 
25 live birds, at Woodland, L. I., on Nov. 24. 
The Boiling Springs and the Passaic City gun clubs will shoot a 
twelve-men team race on Nov. 17. 
Miss Annie Oakley sailed for England on Saturday last, Nov. 10, on 
boat d the Mohawk. 
Live Birds at Carteret. 
The fifteenth contest for the ownership of, the Inter-club cup, won 
by the Carteret Club, of Bergen Point, N. J., last year, took place on 
Wednesday last, Nov. 7, on the club's grounds. The conditions under 
which these contests are held are as follows: 25 live birds per man, 
club handicap rise, two competitions per month during the season; 
the cup to be won five times before becoming the property of any in- 
dividual member of the club. Considerable interest centered in the 
outcome of last Wednesday's shoot, Capt. Money and Fred Hoey each 
having four wins to their credit. A victory to either of them meant 
the ownership of the $1,000 cup. 
Six members put their names down on the list: Messrs. J. Seaver 
Page, L. S. Thompson, George Work, Capt. Money, Fred Hoey and J. 
Knapp. Each man killed his first five birds, the score board showing 
30 straight kills; then came a batch of misses, Capt. Money and Messrs 
Thompson and Knapp each dropping their 6th bird ; Knapp dropped 
another in the 9th round, Thompson following suit on his 10th bird. 
Mr Knapp's 11th bird getting away from him he retired from the 
contest. Mr. Seaver Page was the next to spoil his string of kills, his 
13th and 16th birds, both incomers, falling dead out of bounds; 
strangely enough both lodged on the club house roof. Capt. Money 
had hard luck with his 14th, a fast, low-flying, left-quartering incomer. 
The deadline is marked by a strip of wire netting about 18in. high- 
Capt. Money featbered his bird with his right, but seemed slow with 
his second; he waited just too long, the bird pitching stone dead on 
top of one of the small uprights which supported the wire and drop- 
ping on the wrong side of the little fence. Mr. Thompson missed his 
16th and was practically out of it, although he shot along until the 
21st round; Capt. Money having in the meanwhile let his 18th get 
away hard hit, also retired on the 21st round. 
Fred Hoey, who had been doing good work and who had been draw- 
ing a remarkably hard lot of driving birds, dropped his 14th. This left 
George Work alone in first place with a straight score; as he was 
shooting in pretty much the same style as when be shot his race with 
Brewer on Oct. 30, he was looked upon as something like a certainty 
when he had killed 16 straight. He fell down, however, on a compar- 
atively easy circling right-quartering incomer, his 17th bird. This 
made him a tie with Hoey. It was only for a few minutes, though, as 
Mr. Hoey, who was the last man in the squad, let another fast driver 
get away from him. Both men then killed out straight, Work win- 
ning with 24 out of 25. Mr. Page shot along until the 23d round, when 
he missed and dropped out. 
This being Work's fourth win, he is now tied with Capt. Money and 
Fred Hoey; if either of the three wins the next race the cup will be- 
come his property. The first race was shot on Dec. 6, 1883. Capt. 
Money winning on that occasion. The following are the winners of 
tbe other races: Dec. 20, 1893, George Work; Jan. 3, 1894, J. Seaver 
Page; Jan. 17, J. Knapp; Feb. 7, George Work; Feb. 21, Capt. Money; 
March 7, Capt. Money; March 21. Fred Hoey; April 4, George Work; 
April 18, May 2 and 16, Fred Hoey; Oct. 3, J. Knapp; Oct. 17, Capt. 
Money. The score, including last Wednesday's race, shows Messrs. 
Hoey, Work and Capt. Money, four wins each; J. Knapp, two wins; J. 
Seaver Page, one win. 
Two miss and outs, $5 entrance, closed the afternoon's programme. 
The first, with 8 entries, was divided between Capt. Money and L. S. 
Thompson. This decision was not arrived at without a long struggle, 
Mr. Knapp not dropping out until the 13th round, and Mr. Leigh, a 
guest of the club, forcing the ultimate winners to kill 17 straight. Mr. 
Laigh's work was extremely brilliant,when it is taken into consideration 
that this was his first effort at live birds from the traps. Notwithstand- 
ing this fact, and also the way In which he handicapped himself (particu- 
larly on incomers) by shooting strictly gun below the elbow, he made 
some really excellent quick kills on fast birds, being very sure with 
his second shell. The second sweep, which had only 4 entries, was 
divided at the close of the 4th round between Capt. Money and Mr. 
Ernest F. Thomas, a newly-elected member of the Carteret. Mr. 
Thomas is a Western man, hailing from Denver, Col. From his form, 
both on practice birds and in the sweeps, Mr. Thomas is likely to hold 
his own with most of the members of the club. 
As for the birds, they were somewhat mixed; many were really 
good, fast birds, as good as anybody wants to see trapped; the 
balance were nothing out of the ordinary run. The wind, which was 
blowing strongly in the early part of the afternoon, came across the 
traps obliquely, helping right-quartering incomers to flap their way 
to the boundary. Mr. John S. Hoey acted as referee, and as usual, 
not a murmur was heard against his decisions. Scores:

(Owing to Forest and Stream's representative attending to the 
score board, tbe first and second barrel kills, as well as the direction of 
each bird's flight was not obtainable; hence the figure 1 above merely 
denotes a dead bird.)
