System of handicap used was to allow each contestant to shoot 
, at as many targets as he failed to score in original shoot, and to 
add result of same to original score. 
The fourth contest ,for the J. C. Walker & Son cup, was held on 
Jan. 30. The attendance and shooting were both much better than ; 
on the previous Saturday. The system of handicap used in this 
match is to allow each contestant as many extra targets to shoot 
at as he misses dut of the 50. Figures in the handicap column 
indicate the number broken out of the extra targets. 
J. W. Bell was high man, with 45 breaks, his score in the handi- 
cap giving him a total of 50. The score follows:

Travers Island, Feb. 6.— The weather was cloudy and it looked 
very much like rain all day. No doubt this kept a number of 
regular shooters at home. There was no wind, such as usually 
prevails at Travers Island. The shooting was therefore very easy. 
The first event was for the W. J. Elias trophy, which was won 
by Mr. G. E. Greiff, who also captured the second, special event, 
which was a handsome silver trophy. This was Greiff's first win 
for this cup, which has to be won twice to become the property 
of a contestant.

Zettler Rifle Club. 
The weekly shoot of the Zettler Club, Feb. 2, while restricted 
to a small number of members, was replete with interesting inci- 
dents. The first flurry was caused by Geo. Schlicht, who on his 
third entry made a full score of 250 points, the second full score 
that has been made in the Zettler gallery since it was opened in 
1900. , 
The next incident of merit was the entrance of L. P. Hansen 
into the group with his outfit with him. Hansen's absence from 
the club's weekly shoots for several weeks past has been much de- 
plored by the active members of the club. Plis brother members 
gave him the glad hand. Wm. A. Tewes, who has again taken up 
his work in the; weekly contests after some weeks' rest, was pres- 
ent. ■ Hansen shot 100 shots and made a score of 2442. Wm. A. 
Tewes got in touch with his rifle and ammunition and made the 
fine score of 1232 for 50 shots.
