[Jan. 12/1895. 
weather was perfect for the purpose of target shooting, although 
early in the day the sun shone with quite a glare on the snow, 
making it somewhat difficult to "break them all" until the sun 
had passed the meridian. 
Anions; the shooters were Enoch Miller and Dr. Jackson, of 
Springfield, N. J. ; "U. M. C." Thomas, Bridgeport, Conn. ; L. H. 
Sehortemeier and M. Herriogton, of the Emerald G-un Club ; 
Warren Smith and Billy Drake, two cracks from the Maple- 
woods; F. Y. Van Dyke and his "pump;" W. S. Gummere, of the 
New Brunswick Gun Club; T. H. Keller, of the Climax Gun 
Club, busily telling everybody about his club's shoot-on Jan. 10 
and 11; Chas. C. Hebbard, of the Empire Target Co.; while 
among the home members were JR. H. Breintnall, Lemuel 
Thomas, Asa Wbitehead, Hoffman, Dr. Hunt, Fisher, E. A. 
Geoffrey and a host of others whose names appear on the score' 
sheets. Bobert A. Chetwood, president of the Elizabeth Gun 
Club, and W. M. Parker, also of Elizabeth, were among the 
spectators. 
The officials of the South Side Club are: President, B. H. 
Breintnall; Secretary and Treasurer, W. B. Hobart; Manager' 
J. H. Terrill. The above, together with Asa Whitehead and e! 
L Phillips, form the governing committee With such men to 
look after the comfort of their guests, it is unnecessary to say 
very much more. The cashier's office was presided over by 
John H. Hedden and W. B. Hobart, who kept things moving in 
a lively manner, payments being made promptly after each 
event. The scorer's box was occupied as usual by Theodore E. 
Burt, the club's official scorer. Mr. Burt has acted as offieiai 
scorer for the club almost since the first day it was organized- 
no better testimonial as to the accuracy of his work need be 
quoted. The targets used were empires, thrown from bluerock 
traps, North's electric pull being used. All the events were at 
known angles unless otherwise stated.

Nebraska Trap-Shooters. 
Omaha, Neb. — We are enjoying quite a flurry here just now 
among the trap-shooters. J. C. Bead won the championship of 
Nebraska at the State shoot at Central City last June, and some 
ten days ago issued a challenge through the Bee to shoot any 
resident of the State a 100 live bird match for $100 a side on the 
grounds of the Bemis Park Gun Club just across the river. And 
Mr. Bead suddenly finds himself with his hands full. John J. 
Haidin, of this city, has accepted his defi for Jan. 12, and Geo. 
Nicolai, of Sutton, for Feb. 7. Mr. Bead is one of the coming 
trap shots of this section, but both of these men will make him 
shoot all he knows how. 
Beferring to trap-shooters, it may not be generally known 
but is nevertheless a fact, and that is that Omaha boasts of one 
of the best all-round shots in the world, and his name is Frank 
S. Parmelee. While Col.Parmelee does not enjoy quite the 
notoriety of Champion Elliott, Capt. Brewer, Dr. Carver and one 
or two others, he is undoubtedly the peer of any of them, and in 
a 100 live bird match has an even chance to bea't any man in the 
country. Of course this is only my opinion; but I have seen 
them all shoot, and Col. Parmelee suffers none by comparisons. 
He beat Elliott on the grounds at the State shoot a year ago, 
killing 98 out of 100 to Elliott's 91, and has a snap at any time 
and always with any of the local men in this land of fine shots.

Princeton Points. 
Misfortunes never come singly, and Princeton looks black 
(and oraoge) over her double defeat— at football and trap- 
shooting. 
Very little interest is shown in gun club matters as com- 
pared with last season, which will probably account for the sur- 
prise party tendered to the Princeton Gun team and their 'bus- 
load of fair admirers by the Yale-Harvard contingent at New 
Haven. 
Two members oE the Princeton Club, Mr. E. P. Ward, ex- 
member of the board of directors, and Dr. E. L. Tiffany, ex- 
captain, spent Christmas in conducting a very successful holi- 
day tournament at -their home, Dansville, N. Y., an account of 
which will be found elsewhere. Wads. 
Cincinnati Riflemen, 
Cincinnati, O., Dec. 30.— The Cincinnati Eifle Association held 
its regular practice shoot at its range to-day and made the 
scores appended. Conditions, 200yds. off-hand at the Standard 
target. Wellinger distinguished himself by making a clean score, 
his first one, counting 90. To say he was tickled is drawing it 
mild, and congratulations were unanimous. It was quite a fit- 
ting score to wind up the old year with:

Zettler Rifle Club. 
New Yoek, Jan. 1.— The Zettler Eifle Club held its monthly 
meeting and regular weekly gallery shoot at headquarters this

competitors. He won the championship medal, scoring 246. He 
made 1,227 in his five scores, beating Louis Flach one rjoint. 
Holges and Flach also tied for high score, each with 248 points.

RIFLE NOTES. 
The Few York Schuetzen Corps held its annual meeting for 
the election of officers at headquarters on Jan 3. Capt. Offer- 
man was renominated and unanimously elected to fill the posi- 
tion for another year. He, however, declined the honors and 
fought hard to have the honors of captain placed upon the 
shoulders of some other member of the corps. Capt. Offerman's 
kick, however, was of no avail, for. the members would not ac- 
cept any other nominee than Henry Offerman, and in the end 
Capt. Offerman was forced to reconsider his previous negative 
to the honors and will continue for another year as Captain of 
the New York Schuetzen Corps. Barney Kunner was re-elected 
Secretary, as was Aug. J. Christian Finance Secretary ; E. Meyer, 
Corresponding Secretary ; F. W. Meyer, Treasurer ; John Bunz,' 
Quartermaster. The election of the two shooting masters was 
laid over until the next meeting owing to the fact that no mem- 
ber present would accept the position of first shooting master. 
The first match between teams representing the Empire and 
Greenville Bifle cluba will take place on the Greenville Club 
range Jan. 17 ; the match opens at 8 P. M. 
Capt. W. Money, the famous pigeon shot, was elected 
member of the Zettler Biflo Club at the monthly meeting last 
week. If the Captain can reach the bullseye with the same ease 
with the rifle that he does the pigeon with the scatter gun, he 
will make some of the experts hustle for honors in the future. 
That old champion and expert, Wm. Milton Farrow is re- 
ported as being desirous of entering the ranks of the Zettler 
Club. Mr. Farrow, as a member of the club,was the "Schuetzen'' 
King of the great festival held in Union Hill Park in 1879. 
Bicycle riding is said to be good for one's health. We heard 
one of our veteran rifleman who ha3 been riding his "bike" for 
the past six months, make the remark last week that he had 
made up his mind that his use of the machine had interfered 
with his shooting and he was going to discontinue its use. 
Wm. Bosenbaum, of the Empire Eifle Club, is at the present 
time shooting in fine form. At the weekly gallery shoot of the 
club last week he made a total of 2,451 in i.00 shots. On his sec- 
ond string of 100 shots he made the following scores : 248 248 
245 246 247 245 246 249 24G 246 ; total, 9,466. An average of 
245.8 for the 200 shots. 
The Elite Schuetzen Corps has increased its membership to 
about 140. Capt. Walters and Shooting-Master Ignatz Martin 
should lose no time in getting the members into active gallery 
practice. The most successful rifle clubs are those that contain 
the active shooters. 
The riflemen throughout the country are clamoring for the 
English edition of the programme of the great shooting festival 
(Bundes Fest). The festival opens June 30, and the by-laws of 
the Bund say that all societies wishing to join the Bund must 
make their entries four months before the opening of the fes- 
tival. 
The Iroquois Bifle Club of Pittsburgh held a successful 
Christmas Day shoot on its gallery ranges. The programme 
onsisted of cash prizes, sweepstakes for turkeys, etc. 
The Zettler Bifle Club will hold its annual gallery prize shoot 
on its ranges, No. 219 Bowery, on Jan 19, 20 and 21. 
The team shoot between the Empire and Greenville clubs has 
been postponed to Jan. 17. 
The Friday Night Club is another one of Hoboken's many rifle 
clubs that keep pegging away at the gallery target from week to 
week. 
The Philadelphia Schuetzen Verein held its annual election of 
officers for the coming year on Deo. 27. Wm. Gelzer was re- 
elected President, Jacob Both, Vice-President and Jacob Weber 
treasurer. The association has sold its Bhooting park property 
on Queen Lane, Logan Station, to the city, realizing the neat 
sum of $110,359.05. 
The Zettler Club at its last meeting voted to appropriate $150 
to the "target of honor" at the Bundes Fest. This prize will be 
in gold, inlaid in a iancy ease and incrusted with the Zettler 
Club monogram. The lucky shooter who wins this prize will 
have a fine memento to remind him in after years of the festival 
of 1895.
