Lady Zettler Rifle Clufa. 
The regular shoot of this club was held the night of March 25 
on the Zettler ranges in West Twenty-third street with a good 
attendance of members and their friends. Twelve of the ladies 
finished 20-shot scores on the ring target, using .22cal. rifles.

possible 500 points, while three other ladies scored 490. The

Providence Revolver Club. 
Providence, R. I.— One lone rifleman turned out at our regular 
practice shoot on March 23, and spent the evening sighting in his 
.25-21, with good results. This gentleman, Mr. Fred Collins, is 
our latest addition, and it looks as though he would soon enter 
the 240 class and give us another team member. 
Denver shooters, take warning; Mr. Collins expects to be in that 
city within a month, and if he can find a congenial spirit, will 
talk rifle to the satisfaction of any crank. 
The revolver men have gone back to the 20yd. line, and were 
a little disappointed in their holding ability. 
Wm. Bosworth, one of our top pistol men, came in and shot a 
few strings, but shows his lack of practice. 
Abbott turned out with a Lord model Stevens pistol, which will 
no doubt give a good account in the near future. Scores: 
At 25yds., rifle, on German ring target: Fred Collins 230, 236, 
234. 
Twenty yards, revolver and pistol. Standard American target: 
A. C. Hurlburt 79, 81; Wm. Bosworth 80, 78, 79; Arno Argus 
75, 78, 78, 74, 76; Wm. F. Eddy 78; Fred Liebrich 63, 71; Chas. H. 
Abbott, 30. 
Englewood O. Rifle Club. 
Only five members took part in the medal shoot on March 21, 
Leo Liber winning with a score of 29. The match is at 100yds., 
offhand, any rifle, Standard American target, 4 shots, possible 40.

There are a few secretaries of trapshooting clubs who send out 
tournament programmes for review in the same week of their 
tournament, and betimes after the sportsmen's journals of said 
week have gone to press. Such energy is much better than 
none at all, for it may be th« nucleus of proper energy in good 
time. 
In view of the fact that trapshooters in recent months have 
many times shot all day, without a miss, from thfe 16yd. mark, a 
proper act would seem to be the adoption of a greater distance 
than 16yds. as the standard. Shooters, guns and ammunition have 
long since equalled all the possibilities of 16yds, so that at 
present it is the distance in the primary school of shooting. 
Mr. John S. Wright, manager of the Brooklyn, N. Y. Gun 
Club, informs us that he will open his club's trapshooting season 
with a shoot on Saturday of this week, on the club grounds. 
Old Mill road, Brooklyn. Take Kings County L. to Crescent 
street, thence by bus to grounds. In the near future Mr. Wright 
contemplates holding a tournament, the programme of which will 
be specially interesting. 
Mr. Carl von Lengerke, well known as an expert in the sport- 
ing goods trade, has accepted a position with the Polk Miller 
Drug Co., of Richmond, Va. From April 1, he will conduct 
an office for them at 1263 Broadway, New York. His chief in- 
terest will be to further the success of Sergeant Dog Remedies. 
Mr. von Lengerke has had much practical experience with dogs, 
hence starts well equipped with the necessary knowledge.

The Secretary of the B. G. C, writes us as follows: "The 
Boston Gun Club's annual invitation team shoot will be held on 
May 17. We shall on that day attempt to run as successful a 
shoot as has been held in the East for some time; and, as in all 
probability there will be quite a number of experts present, we 
would be pleased to have any shooter visit us on that day. Pro- 
grammes will be ready later, somewhere about April 15, and can 
be had upon application to my address, 23 Elm St., Boston." 
A correspondent writes us that "The tournament committee 
of the Wilmington, Del., Gun Club in issuing its programme for 
the first annual spring tournament of the Delaware State Trap- 
shooters' League, to be held under its auspices April 12-13 next, 
omitted to mention in that programme that the added money 
would be given as average money to amateurs only, and that 
there would be three such prizes each day, viz., $5, $5 and $2.50 
to the three high amateurs on each day, making a total of $25 
altogether." 
The gold medal presented as an object of competition to the 
Montclair, N. J., Gun Club, by Mr. C. W. Kendall, ended its 
mission as an object of competition on Saturday of last week, and 
now begins its new mission as an emblem of victory. Mr. 
Geo. Howard's score of 85 out of a possible 100 was sufficient 
warrant to declare him the winner of it. Mr. H. F. Holloway, by 
virtue of a score of 47 out of 50, made on March 25, will have 
his name inscribed on the sterling silver loving cup, in the 
place reserved for the March winner. 
Bernard Waters. 
Montclair Gun Club. 
Montclair, N. J., March 25.-To-day was the last time that 
members could compete for the gold medal presented by Mr. C. 
W. Kendall. No records were broken and the scores made by 
Mr. Howard on March 11, of 85 out of a possible 100 (the 100 
targets being designated before shooting), stands, and Mr. Geo. 
Howard was declared the winner of this event. 
It was also the regular monthly shoot for the club trophy of 
3905, a large sterling silver loving cup. This is a handicap event 
at 50 targets, unknown angles. Mr. H. F. Holloway broke 35, 
and this, with 12 targets added, gave him a score of 47, and put 
his name on the cup for xne month of Mafch. The other events 
were for practice only.
