FOREST AND STREAM 
[Oct. 13, 1906. 
P. G. P. and G. C. 
Providence, R. I., Oct. S. —The appended scores were 
made at the Providence Game Preservation and Gun 
Club shoot for the National Sportsman’s cup, Saturday, 
Oct. 6. It rained steadily nearly all the afternoon, and 
the wind blew in gusts, so that it was no easy matter to 
break the targets as they went bobbing up and down. 
Hugh W. Bain, of Arlington, R. I., was the winner with 
a score of 111 out of 125. The sliding handicap, from 
16 to 20yds., was used, and Bain won, shooting from the 
18yd. mark, in every event except the first and fifth. 
In spite of the rain, shooters lined up at the firing line, 
ten of whom shot the entire programme. Mr. E. C. 
Griffith, of Pascoag, R. I., met with a mishap to his gun, 
which put him out of the race. He tried to v borrow a 
gun, but could find none that did not cut his' cheek, so 
was forced to give it up. N. F. Reiner, of Centerdale, 
R. I., also met with an accident to his gun in the same 
event, which forced him to give up the competition. 
Much disappointment was felt, as every one had expected 
to see some good shooting from both Reiner and Grif¬ 
fith. 
The trade was represented by Mr. Le Noir, who broke 
73 out of 90. 
Trapshooting has revived considerably in Providence 
this year, and everything points to a much better season 
next year. The club has planned to build a larger house, 
to accommodate a bigger crowd and make a warmer place 
to held winter shoots.

Club, by making the excellent score of 96 out of 100, 
wins the permanent possession of the medal and the 
title of League championship for 1906.

been shot in this League, and the best exhibition of 
nerve, as the detailed scores below will show.

The Zeltler Annual. 
The thirty-second annual rifle tournament of the 
Zettler Rifle Club was held fn the new shooting pavilion 
in the park at Union Hill, N. J., Oct. 3 and 4. On both 
days the sky was overcast most of the time, keeping a 
number of visitors away who always make it a point to 
be present on Zettler days; but there were plenty of 
shooters on hand, particularly on the second day, when 
the ladies competed for prizes on the short range tar¬ 
gets with ,22cal. rifles. 
So far as rifles, sights and shooting positions were con¬ 
cerned, there were no restrictions; but the use of high- 
power cartridges and mantled bullets was prohibited. 
Among those who used telescope sights we noticed Fred 
C. Ross, John Kaufman, F. L. Smith, Michael Dorrler, 
Arthur Hubalek, Owen Smith, S. M. Murphy, Louis C. 
Buss, George Schlicht, part of the time, and W. II. 
French. Others might be included as users of telescopes, 
but they did not employ them on this occasion. Mr. 
French’s telescope is full length, while all the others 
range from 14 to 18 inches in length, with magnifying 
powers of 3 or 4 diameters. 
Barney Zettler got the first red flag when the shoot 
opened, and Fred C. Ross scored 72 on the honor 
target. Arthur Hubalek was high the first day on the 
ring target with two 72s, and a 71, W. H. French and 
L. P. Hansen following with two 71s, and Mr. Muzio, 
of I he Italian Shooting Association, fourth, with 70. Mr. 
Hubalek was also high man on the Zettler trophy target 
with a total of 72. 
William A. Tewes had a slight accident on the second 
day that might have resulted seriously had his position 
beer, different. Taking his place at one of the firing 
points, he inserted a loaded shell in the chamber of his 
rifle and attempted to close the block, when the primer, 
which had not been seated deeply enough in its pocket, 
was set off by the breech-block, the powder and bullet, 
of course, following. A part of the primer struck Mr. 
Tewes on the right cheek, cutting a small but painful 
gash as it glanced by, but fortunately he was not 
otherwise hurt. 
Worthy of note this day was the score of 36 on the 
honor target, made by Ferdinand Fabarius, the veteran 
rifleman, who is in his eighty-seventh year, but still en¬ 
thusiastic over rifle shooting. Every year he insists 
that his shooting days are over, but his eyesight is still 
good enough for him to see the bullseye at 2(X)yds., and 
he is always eager to try again. 
Michael Dorrler was shooting on one of the targets, 
when his wife came over from the short ranges where 
the ladies were shooting, and stood looking over his 
shoulder, greatly interested. He remarked afterward 
that while Mrs. Dorrler had become familiar with the 
rifle and shooting devices in his den at home during 
the thirty years he had been a marksman, this was the 
first time she had ever looked over his shoulder while 
he was shooting. 
Louis C. Buss scored a 73, and took first place on the 
ring target, with a total of 145, leaving Mr. Hubalek 
in second place, but the latter won the highest premium, 
and also. captured the Zettler trophy, while R. Schwane- 
man won the judges’ first prize. 
Henry D. Muller came back from the ranks of the has- 
beens and showed that he was still entitled to be called 
“Bullseye” Muller by placing a shot within 14-64 of an 
inch of the exact center of the bullseye. Arthur Huba¬ 
lek made the most bullseyes. Fred C. Ross won the 
target of honor prize with a total of 72, and Charles 
Zettler took second prize. 
In the afternoon the ladies held their shoot on the 
short ranges for a number of handsome prizes, and a 
dinner followed, with dancing afterward. 
The scores follow, all at 200yds., offhand:
