Rifle Notes. 
A well equipped rifle range has been opened under the super- 
vision of J. A. Hauck, Jr., in the Universal Bowling Academy 
building, 275 Washington street, Brooklyn, corner of Tillary 
street. The ease with which this range may be reached should 
appeal to all lovers of the sport in Brooklyn Borough. 
A team match recently shot between members of the U. S. 
Revolver Association, five men from San Francisco and five men 
of New York and vicinity, resulted in a victory for the Califor- 
nians by a margin of several points. Each team shot on their 
;home range, and the results were telegraphed across the con- 
tinent. The conditions called for 50 shots per man at 50yds. 
Totals: San Francisco 2198, New York 2185. 
Prof. John Loris, the expert fancy shot, was in town last week, 
Shaving just returned from St. Louis, where he has been giving 
exhibitions at the Fair. Mr. Loris spent Tuesday evening at the 
Zettler ranges in Twenty-third street, renewing old acquaintances, 
it being some time since he has been able to be with us, owing 
to his extensive engagements abroad. 
The Greenville range last Saturday was almost void of shooters. 
L. Maurer and Dr. W. G. Hudson were the only ones devoting 
their attention to the rifle. No official scores were kept. Messrs. 
Silliman and Armstrong, of the Manhattan Club, composed the 
revolver contingent. 
K 
Another out-of-town shooter who made us a flying visit last 
week was Thomas Anderton, of the Massachusetts Rifle Associa- 
tion. Mr. Anderton, we believe, is about to make New York 
his permanent home, having accepted the position as armorer of 
the Seventh Regiment, N. Y. 
Harlem Independent Corps.

The team of the Crescent Athletic Club, at New Haven, Conn., 
Dec. 3, defeated the Yale team by the score of 298 to 276. The 
weather was of the winter kind. Snow squalls interfered with 
the efforts of the shooters. Mr. H. M. Brigham, of the Crescent 
team, was high man with a score of 43. There were eight men 
to each team, and each shot at 50 targets. The Yale team en- 
tertained the. victors at a banquet in the evening. 
Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, secretary-manager of the Interstate Asso- 
ciation, arrived in New York on Tuesday of this week, on busi- 
ness pertaining to the annual meeting of his Association. The 
unprecedented success of the Association tournaments this year is 
a source of much gratification to him. Besides being the acknowl- 
edged champion in tournament management, he is a perfect en- 
cyclopedia in knowledge pertaining to shooters and shooting. 
The secretary, Mr. H. W. Mallinson, writes us that the 
Amackassin Heights Gun Club, of Yonkers, N. Y., will hold a 
tournament on Monday, Jan. 2. The programme provides ten 
events each day, each of which will have twenty-eight merchandise 
prizes. This is the first tournament of the club, it being a new 
organization of thirty members, each of whom will do all in his 
power to insure a good time and good sport to the visitors. Pro- 
grammes can be obtained of the secretary. 
Mr. Rider Walker, who during several years past hast has been 
a talented and industrious business representative of two West- 
ern contemporaries, has accepted a position with the U. M. C. 
Co. as a representative in the West. Mr. Walker's thorough 
knowledge of the ammunition business and of trapshooting com- 
petition, supplemented by untiring industry and suavity, make 
him a valuable acquisition to the skillful staff of U. M. C. 
lieutenants. 
At the meeting of the Montclair, N. J., Gun Club, on the even- 
ing of Dec. 3, officers were elected as follows: President, Mr. 
W. T. Wallace; Secretary, Mr. Edward Winslow; Treasurer, Mr. 
S. C. "Wheeler; Field Captain, Mr. C. W. Kendall. The treasur- 
er's and secretary's reports showed the club to be in a prosperous 
condition. Concerning Mr. Winslow, some words of just praise 
are due for his courteous and constant attention in the matter of 
sending scores for publication. It is not generally appreciated 
that much of a club's prosperity or adversity rests on the ability 
and industry of the secretary.

Yale Gun Club and the Crescent Athletic Club was held on the

affected in consequence. Mr. H. M. Brigham, of the Crescents, 
was high with 43. Mr. J. Kineon, of Yale, was high man on his 
team with 39. The 50 targets per man were shot in strings of 25,

The Dixon Measure. 
An inquirer asks us concerning the identity of Dixon, of powder 
and shot measure fame. We regret that we cannot furnish any 
information concerning the personality of Dixon, or, indeed, 
whether any Dixon, as associated with powder measures, ever 
existed. Perhaps some of our readers can furnish the desired 
information.
