Small Calibers at the Sportsmen's Exposition. 
There can be no question as to the ultimate success of the efforts 
of the tournament committee appointed by the Sportsmen's Associa- 
tion to carry out its plans for a rifle tournament at the Exposition 
now open. 
The tournament opened at .3 P. M. on Saturday afternoon, March 
13, and will continue until 9 P. M. on Saturday evening next, March 
20. The buUseye target competitions will close on' Friday night, in 
order that all targets may be figured up and premiums and prizes 
paid by the time the Exposition closes for good. 
The ranges, which are in the basement on the Twenty-sixth street 
Bide of the Garden, are in charge of Messrs. Zettler Bros, and an 
able corps of assistants, while the official scorer, Mr. George W. 
Plaisted, handles the tickets and cash in a manner that can only be 
obtained by long familiarity with such tournaments. From the 
moment the competiiions were declared open, the ranges, of which 
there are four, have been kept busy. Competitors also stood in line 
waiting their turns, so that the popularity of the affair cannot be 
gainsaid. The system of checking targets, entering scores, etc., is 
very comple e. In fact, there is nothing to be improved, and nothing 
left undone that could have been accomplished by the committee in 
the brief time it has had at its disposal. The officials are: 
Tournament Committee -H. D. MuUer, Chairman; Edward Banks, 
Secretary ; Gus Zimmerman, B. Walther, C. G. Zettler, G. W. Plaisted, 
E. Busse, R. W. Dewey, H. Mahlenbrock, Wilbam Dalton, C. Boag, 
A. Ludwig, D. Meersse, William Hayes, Ignaiz Martin. 
Referee Committee— Gus Zimmerman, Chairman; C. Q. Zettler, H. 
Mahlenbrock, William Dalton, R Busse. 
Official Scorer— G. W. Plaisted. 
It is of course utterly impossible to give any idea of how the scores 
are running. In the mdiviclual match and in the continuous match 
the competition will be very keen indeed. The Zimmerman trophy 
is a popular contest also, and the actual winner will not be known 
until the last minute. The two trophies offered, the Schuetzen rifle 
by the W. R. A. Company, and the Zimmerman trophy by Gus Zim- 
merman, attract a lot of attention, and aid materially in spurring 
competitors on to fresh efforts. 
The ranges are open from 3 to 11 P. M, each day of the week with 
the exception of Saturday night, March 20, noted above.

Bosenbaum's Good Shooting. 
Having received the desired information as to the identity of our 
correspondent who had neglected to send us his name and address, 
always required to insure publication, we gladly give the following 
account of some good shooting done by Wm. Rosen baum, a member 
of the Miller Rifle Club, of Hoboken, and also a member of the Hud- 
son Rifle Club, of Marion, N. J. The account runs as follows: 
"The shooting was done in practice at the Brendel Gallery, 53 Throop 
avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. No sighting shoots were fired. The scores 
per string of 10 shots, off-hand, .23 short rifle, Zettler 26-ring target, 
were: 249, 245, tcbO (full score), 247, 247, 247, ii49, 248. 246, 244, a total for 
the lOO shots of 2,472 points out of a possible 2,509." 
In shooting the above score we learn thatMr. Rosenbaum was using 
a Ballard rifle and W. R. A. Co.'s .22 short amtnimltion. 
Leading dealers in sportsmen's supplies have advertised in our 
columns continuously for almost a quarter century. 
If you want your shoot to be announced here

It seems after ail as if Jim Elliott and the Kansas City Star cup 
were going to be present at the "fistic carnival" at Carson City on 
St. Patrick's Day. Such an opinion is warranted by the following 
dispatch from Carson, dated March 12, that appeared in the morning 
papers of the 13th: "J A. R. Elliott, of Kansas City, dropped in 
from the evening train with a small arsenal In his grip. He is en- 
thusiastic over the trap-shooting tournament. Stuart to-day depos- 
ited the $1,000 purse in the Bullion Bank. The shoot will commence 
at 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning, March 16, and entries will close at 
noon. One thousand birds have been ordered by express from San 
Francisco, and there will be some sweepstakes shot off on Monday 
afternoon on the race track adjoining the big arena." We regret 
Jim's actions for two reasons: First, because we do not believe in 
making trap-shooting part of a "fistic carnival," alias prize fight: 
second, because his presence at Carson on the above date will pre- 
clude his attending the Grand American Handicap. Should he de- 
cide to attend the latter event, the greatest of its kind in this country 
he could hardly; be expected to do himself justice- after the weari- 
someness of a trip from Carson to this city. 
The following invitation has been Issued by Gus B. Greifif, captain 
of the BoUing Springs Gun Club, of Rutherford, N. J., to thecaptains 
of the clubs mentioned in the letter: "You are cordially invited to 
take part in a 3-men team shoot to be held on our grounds. Boiling 
Springs Gun Club, Rutherford, N. J., on April 10. Conditions of 
same are as follows: One team from each club only, $10 entrance, 50 
targets per man, known traps, unknown angles Money to be divid- 
ed, four teams or more, two moneys; six teams or more, three 
moneys. If you will be a participant in this event please let me 
know. This shoot is open to the following clubs: New Utrecht G C 
Brooklyn G. C. Peekskill G. C, Newburgh Rod and G. C, Bergen 
County G. C, Endeavor G. C, Climax G. C , South Side G. C, JSfew 
York Athletic Olub, Blooming Grove Park Association, Passaic City 
G. C , Yanticaw G. O , Dimellen G. C. and Leonia G. C. Entries will 
close April 8. The team shoot will commence on the arrival of the 12 
o'clock train from New York, Erie R. R., foot of Chambers street." 
That was quite a team race last Thursday (March 11) on the Bergen 
County Gun Club's grounds at Hackensack, N. J. ! Van Dyke and J. Hil- 
dreth; Edwards and W. L. Cameron, and Tom Keller and B. Waters. 
In the pool sold before the race Edwards purchased Van Dyke and 
Hildreth for the large sum of 80 cents; Keller and Waters were sold 
as second choice to Frank Hyde for 70 cents; Edwards and Cameron 
went for 60 cents, and proved dear at the price. Keller's team won 
easily, thanks to the steady shooting of its rank and file, who out- 
shot its captain both in style and total After the pool had been sold, 
Keller went to Hyde and told him that if he didn't let him have a 
half interest in the pool he'd "trun him down." In self-defense Hyde 
took Tom's 35 cents, and the two whacked up the profits. The high 
wind made the shooting very difficult, but Vau Dyke was quite equal 
to the occasion. At the start in a practice sweep he ran 20 straight, 
and followed it up with 24 out of his first 25 in the team race, finish- 
ing with 90 out of his 100. 
The Bridgeport (Conn.) Gun Club wUl hold an all-day shoot at tar- 
gets on April 16. Mr. V. A. Blakeslee, secretary of the club, writes 
that the shoot will be open to all. The programme contains seven 10- 
target events and five l5-target events. The club will donate $15 to 
go to the four best averages in Events 3 to 10 inclusive, this schedule 
calling for just 100 targets to qualify for average money ; $5 extra will 
be given to the shooter or shooters making 90 per cent, in the last 
eight events on the programme. Shooting commences at 9:30 A.M. 
The following are the duecUons as to reaching the grounds: "Take 
Stratford avenue trolley, Washington Bridge, Paradise Green or Avon 
Park car to the road on the east side of St. Michael's Cemetery; fol- 
low down, turning into the right at the first house on the right to the 
finest clay-bird grounds in New England,"
