Rifle at Walnut Hill. 
\Valnut Hill, Mass., Nov. 11. — The Massachusetts Rifle Asso- 
'ciation shoot to-day had a fair attendance. The weather condi- 
tions were fine, though a strong fitful wind tested the judgment of 
the shooters constantly. 
In the annual ICO-shot election week match four competitors 
'completed their scores. R. L. Dale was high man with a total of 
2155 points. Early in the shooting his rifle became badly leaded, 
and was given various treatments at times during the day, without 
wholly removing the trouble. This, with the poor conditions, 
very materially reduced his total, causing a loss of at least 76 
points. 
The effect of the wind was, as usual, most apparent at the 1000yd. 
range, where the experts shot until nearly dark, with only fair 
success. The scores:

Secretary W. D. Townsend writes us that the Omaha, Neb.,

teams of Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas, on Dec. 12 and 13.

The lowest team is to pay for the targets and for a dinner for the

In the contest for the November cup, at the weekly shoot of the 
Crescent Athletic Club, Bay Ridge, L. I., Nov. 11, Mr. Frank B. 
Slephen’son scored a win, making the excellent score of 24 out of 
25 from scratch. Mr. A. G. Southworth, .scratch, won in the- 
Stake trophy contest, with a score of 22. The first contest of the 
team series was won by Messrs. Lewis C. .Hopkins and Lowell 
M. Palmer, Jr., with 48 out of a possible 50. 
St 
At the shoot of the New York Athletic Club, of which he is a 
member, Mr. Gus Grief! scored an average of over 95 per cent, for 
the programme of the afternoon, Nov. 11. He won event 4, 25 
targets with a full score from scratch, the trophy being awarded 
to him under the rule of the club, which recognizes a straight 
score as the winning score even if there be handicap scores of 
equal value to it, an excellent provision, by the way. 
The outdoor season was practically closed at our Cranston 
range by a special shoot on Nov. 4, which was one of the most 
enjoyable events of the season.' A strong wind bothered the men, 
but some good scores were made. 
Almy was high man all around with revolver, and Luther struck 
a gait on the reduced ring target which made it interesting. 
A. B. Coulters, our president, spent most of his time with the 
Krag rifle at 200yds., and several of the members had an oppor- 
aunity to try their iiand with this weapon, with the result that we 
expect to take up military rifle -shooting next spring in earnest. 
We had hoped to push this plan the past season, but our en- 
deavors were sidetracked somewhere, and we have had to content 
ourselves with an occasional try. We are ready to take up the 
M'ork when we have a show at 200, 300 and 500yds. range, and the 
use of the required weapon. 
We are now busy pushing plans for the winter’s indoor work. 
The following scores were recorded:

successful shoot to-day, in honor of Mr. M. J. S. Day, of Fort 
Worth, Texas, a trade representative of a powder company.. A 
large number of local men were- out of town, but the club mem- 
bers present gave a shoot just the same. 
The weather was beautiful, with no wind, so good scores were 
made. Henry Donnelly made the high average. The scores at

The Hudsen Gun Club, of Jersey City, N. J., has again suf- 
fered from the malicious depredations of vandals, the last destruc- 
tion being much wcr.se than the first. Traps, targets, furniture, 
dishes, stove, etc., were smashed with painstaking thoroughness. 
Nevertheless, the club, with admirable pluck, resolved to con- 
tinue, and at a meeting held in Jersey City, Nov. 6, appointed 
two committees, a House Committee and a Shooting Committee, 
each having full power to act. The Shooting Committee will 
arrange for the December tournament, and will provide suitable 
prizes, and will earnestly endeavor to complete all the details of 
an enjoyable competition. Such perseverance in the face of 
calamity should be appreciated by giving the tournament gener- 
ous support. The dates, etc., will be determined in the near 
future, and will be then promptly announced.

Travers Island, N. Y., Nov. 11. — Lively sport was the feature 
of the afternoon at the shoot of the New York Athletic Club to- 
day. The weather was perfect for trapshooting, although the wind 
blew with sufficient force to make the flights- very irregular. 
Nevertheless, very good scores were made by several members. 
Event 4 was won by Mr. Gus Grieff with a full score from 
scratch. The club rule gives any one breaking a straight in a 
handicap the trophy without a shoot-off. Event 8 was won under 
.the same conditions by Mr. E. O. McMurtry, who broke 25 
straight. 
The club event for the November cup caused more of a struggle, 
as Dr. De Wolf, J. W. Hibbard and Dr. Brown tied on 24 out of 
26 with their handicaps added. In the shoot-off, Mr. Hibbard 
■won out. 
A number of other trophies were contested for during the 
afternoon. 
Mr. Dickerson, a. new-comer.; in the trapshooting world, pre- 
sented the_ club with a handsome- trophy, the conditions of which 
in competition will be announced later. 
Mr. Gus Grieff made the highest average ever made at the 
Travers Island trap shoots, scoring a fraction over 95 per cent, 
for the afternoon. Scores:

On the Bill. 
A hungry-looking man hurried into a lower Grand street restau- 
rant the other day, and climbing upon one of the high stools at 
the lunch counter, reached for one of the well-worn and much- 
thumbed bills of fare. He read it all through two or three times, 
called a waiter and gave his order: 
“I guess I’ll begin with a couple of plates of fly specks.” 
“Fly specks!” exclaimed the astonished waiter. “Why, we don’t 
serve fly specks.” 
“Well, then, why don’t you take them off the bill of fare?” . 
The waiter’s reply is not recorded.
