Composite ChampJocshJp Target. 
The composite indoor championship target of the recent indoor 
ccntest in Zettler Brothers' gallery, New York, is illustrated 
herewith : ' 
22[- 
It was made by Mr. L. C, Buss, of New York, who scored 2456 
out of a possible 2500. He shot at a 25-ring target, 75ft., offhand. 
It is of special interest inasmuch as it shows in one group the 
whole 100 shots, and is an object lesson in the wonderful steadi- 
ness and precision which are indispensable to land a contestant 
at the head in modern rifle competition. 
The New York Corps. 
Seventy-five members of the New York Corps were present at 
the bi-monthly gallery shoot, in the Zettler gallery on March 11.

special prize for the best center shot on the bullseye target. The

The Worn— Rein Match. 
The fifty-shot gallery match between Gottlieb Worn and Chas. 
Rein, both of Brooklyn, for $25 a side, was shot off on Breitkopf's 
gallery in East New York, Brooklyn, on March 6. In the shoot- 
ing. Worn showed that Rein was outclassed. He outshot his 
opponent in every ccore. 
The conditions of the match called for 50 shots, in strings of 
five. 
The match went on for a number of strings, when in rolling up 
one of Worn's cards it was found to contain six shots. This 
situation caused a diversion among the cohorts of the two marks- 
men. The referee, Rosenbaum, was in a dilemma. Worn claimed 
that he shot only five shots in his target, and said the extra 
shot came from Rein's stand. Rein claimed that such a thing 
was impossible. Worn said it was possible, and that he could do 
it for money. A bet was made, and Worn demonstrated the pos- 
sibility of his claim by shooting from one stand to the other, hit- 
ting the bullseye, thus winning his bet. 
The referee finally patched up matters for the time being by 
deducting a 25 from Worn's target. The match wasi then con- 
tinued to the finish, when Worn was declared a winner by 96 
points. The old matter of Worn's extra shot was tevived by the 
backers of Rein, and a protest was filed with the stakeholder, 
forbidding him to turn the stakes over to Worn. 
At the last reports from the scene of the contest, the stake- 
holder was still being held up. The scores follow: 
Ten-shot scores, 25-ring target, distance 85ft., offhand; 50 shots: 
G. Worn, Bal.-Zischang 238 237 231 234 242—1182 
Cbas. Rein, Bal.-Stevens 225 216 214 218 213—1086 
The daily press recounts that invitations have been sent to rifle- 
men in the United States and various foreign countries requesting 
the appointment of teams to participate in the match for the Palma 
trophy, which represents the military team championship of the 
world. The trophy was won by the American team at Bisley, 
England, July 11, last year, in competition with teams from 
Great Britain, France, Norway, Canada, Australia and Natal. This 
year the trophy is to be contested for at Sea Girt, N. J., on or 
about Sept. 1. _ . .

Concerning the recent announcement that 96,000,000 microbes 
were found on a greenback by an expert, it was stated that the 
microbes were harmless; therefore the winners at tournaments 
may accept their winnings without any undue exhibitions of 
frantic alarm. 
The Eastern three-man team championship, shot on March 9, at

to us the regards of Messrs. A. A. Schoverling and H. S. Welles, 
who are now sojourning in England. They contemplate a stay 
of some weeks. Each is an expert trapshooter, and if they en- 
gage in any competition there is no doubt but what they will give 
a good account of themselves.
