'PkoyidencEj R, I.™We had a very pleasant and iitteresting 
visit from the Messrs. Morris, of the Electric City Rifle Club 
(Scranton. fa.), Thursday evening, and their description of their 
organization's plans, matches and system gave us several valuable 
points. Whenever any members of other clubs are in town we 
hope they will look us up for a personal chat. A few of the 
rifle shooters worked out good scores, as follows: 
Sterry K Luther.................... 237 239 239 ... 
C L Beach 235 234 240 233 
W B Gardiner 230 230 230 231 
L A Jordan 221 229 223 230 
Revolver and pisto! scores: Arno Argus (revolver), 78; Wm. 
F. Eddy (military revolver), 76; D. P. Craig (military revolver, 
Creedmoor count), 40, 43; Fred Liebrich (pistol), 68. 
Rapid fire, five shots, 20 seconds; Hurlburt, 40, 42; Argus, SO. 
Messrs. Jordan and Gardiner are preparing a range in the 
Saylesville Hall, which we can use on Saturday evenings, and 
we believe it will be better adapted to match shooting than 
our present facilities. We want to patch out the remainder of 
the indoor season in some way, as our scheme for an outdoor 
range is well under way.

The foregoing completes a series of six matches, calling for 400 
shots, the men tying for number of matches, but Almy leading in 
number of points, as followss William Almy, 3185; F. A. 
Coggeshall, - 3157 
Feb. 20, the two men tried 20 shots each with the following re- 
sult; 
William Almy 98 10 6 10 9698 8—83

F A Coggeshall 779 10 88788 10—82 
8899 10 7974 8—80—162 
In this last match Mr. Almy tied the range score of 90 points 
out of a possible 100, standard American target, with .22 rifle at 
BOyds. 
March 2. — Our Thursday evening practice shoot was well at- 
tended, and a variety of weapons tried, ranging from the regular 
.22s to a .41 Deringer, and finally a Luger automatic. 
Four of the revolver squad are hanging to the 10yd. practice 
and still find the little bull difficult to catch and 4s remark- 
ably easy to slip into the score. In the Louisville plan of rapid 
fire the four men are doing well and enjoy the novelty, but are 
wcndering how long it will take them to settle down at the regu- 
lar deliberate fire shooting at 20yds. after the match with their 
Kentucky friends. The team is up against a dark horse in this 
match, as the Louisville Club publishes no scores, while ours 
go down for the amusement of the fraternity. 
We greatly miss our genial president, Mr. Coulters, who is 
confined to the house with a severe attack of quinsy; hence Mr. 
Luther is having it all his own way in the 240 class. 
Some of the lovers of trapshooting have suggested that we add 
that department to our summer range, and the idea seems to 
meet with favor. If there are any trapshooters who want a good 
place to practice, we would like to hear from them, and would 
be glad to plan that attraction for the Cranston shooting house. 
Capt. Bowen, one of our regular pistol team, spent the evening 
with us, and tried several arms. He has done no shooting this 
winter, and is of course out of form, but a little warming up 
would get him into line in short order. Business prevents his 
regular attendance at our shoots, but we hope to get him in trim 
so that our annual match with the Portland team can be brought 
about. We certainly need him. The following scores were 
recorded: 
Rifle, 25yds., German ring target: S. K. Luther, 239, 243, 240, 
238 243; L. A. Jordan, 228, 234, 239; W. Bert Gardiner, 232, 228, 
231; C. L. Beach, 229, 229, 232; Collins 228, 227. 225. 
Pistol, 20yds., Standard target: Wm. Boswortn, 87, 76. 
Revolver, 10yds., Standard target, B-shot strings: A. C. Hurl- 
burt, 40, 41; Maj. Eddy, 32, 35, 41, 40; Arno Argus, 29, 20, 34; 
D. P. Craig, 20, 23, 30. 
Rapid-fire, 20yds., Standard target, 5 shots, 20 seconds: Argus, 
44, 39, 45, 39, 45, 40, 44; Craig, 43. 34, 45, 43, 42. 41, 44, 39; Hurl- 
burt, 42, 42. 
Cincinnati Rifle Association. 
Cincinnati, O.— The following scores were made in regular 
competition by members of the Cincinnati Rifle Association at 
Four-Mile House, Reading road, Feb. 26. Conditions: 200yds.. 
offliand, at the 25-ring target. Nestler was champion for the 
day with the fine score of 233. This creates a new record for him, 
his former being 231. It also ties the former range record held 
by Gindele, and which was recently eclipsed by Mr. Hasenzahrs 
235. He was also high on the honor target with 74 points. This 
is now the range record, and it will take a peach of a score to 
beat it. The scores :

At the shoot of the West Sonora O., Rifle Club on Feb. 25 
the weather conditions were not good. A strong wind blowing 
across the range caused a number of the men to shoot below 
their average. C. W. Matthews was high man with 213 out of 
a possible 240.- The scores:
