there will be much practice with it during the coming: outdoor 
and iiiext winter's indoor season, and it is safe to predict that 
the next indoor championship will find numbers of them in use 
by the best marksmen. Their advocates stoutly assert that rifle 
telescopes have come to stay, and certainly the large numbers, 
sold by makers and dealers bear this out, for one seldom hears 
of a good telescope being discarded in favor of the old non- 
magnifying sights. 
The distance shot is 75ft., and no restrictions whatever are 
placed on rifles or attachments, but every shot must be fired 
in the offhand position. In the 100-shot match contestants are 
permitted to finish their scores as they see fit, provided they 
complete each string on the day it is begun. This prolongs the 
interest, sometimes up to the very last hour of the tournament, 
for the best shots try their holding ability in some of the pool 
matches, and if they feel in good form, start in on their 100-shot 
string, often firing not more than 10 or 20 shots when they 
believe they are not in the best of form, and wait until another 
day to resume. In this way the interest increases until all the 
top-notchers have finished their scores, making the last few days 
of the tournament busy ones for all hands. Merchandise prizes 
always attract attention in a match, and the list of taese that 
will go to winners in the 100-shot match is long, so that any 
really good score will entitle the holder to a prize that is worth 
while. In this match there are twenty cash prizes that range 
from $15 down to $2, and the following merchandise prizes : A 
Stevens Schuetzen rifle, a Winchester Schuetzen rifle, a gold trophy 
(by the Peters Cartridge Co.), a fine Colt target revolver, a silver 
cup (by the Zettler Rifle Club), a Davenport shotgun, a set of 
Lyman target sights, a Bristol steel fishing rod, a set of Ideal 
reloading tools, a Marble pocket ax and cleaning rod, and a 
Earning hammerless rifle action, given by their respective makers; 
while the man who does not win a prize will be consoled by 
the Zettler trophy. 
The ring target match is open to all, three shots to each score,. ' 
re-entries unlimited, the best three targets to count for the first 
five prizes, the best two targets for the next five prizes, and 
one target for the rest. The highest prize is $30, while the- 
nineteen others range from $25 down to $2, and there are three 
premiums: $5 for the best five targets; $4 for the second-best 
five targets, and |3 for the third-best. 
On the special target for the Zimmermann trophy, three shots,, 
best two tickets to count, the prizes are $10 and $5. 
Re-entries are unlimited in the bullseye match, in which the- 
best single shot by measurement counts. There are twenty-five 
prizes, ranging from $25 down to $2, and three premiums, as 
follows: Most bullseyes during the tournament, $5; secondi 
largest number, $4; third, $3. 
The complete scores cannot be given in this issue, but those 
so far finished in each match follow, our record closing for the 
week at 6 o'clock the night of March 6. Just as the clock was. 
striking the hour, R. Gute finished his 100-shot score, with a 
total of 2466 out of the possible 2500 points, breaking all previous 
records for the distance. He used a short telescope sight on his 
rifle. For the purpose of comparison, the records of other years , 
are given as follows :
