score being 39 and the lowest 4 out of a possible 50.

fect score medal, which was offered for the first time this 
year. Newbold made a possible of five consecutive bulls-

score at anv one range for the day at this range with 47

Federal Rifle and Revolver Club. 
.Ha, Ha! He shot 234 in a possible of 250 with the 
pistol at 20yds., and won a pair of lemons and a pack¬ 
age of paper. 
The opening shoot of the indoor season of the 
Federal Rifle and Revolver Club was held at the Federal 
range, Boston, on the evening of Oct. 5, and according 
to the laughter and general spirit of the occasion, the 
meeting was a complete success. A good representation 
of the club was present, and the fun was created by the 
novelty of the prizes. Each man who participated in the 
event contributed a prize which costs 25 cents or less, 
and the choice of prizes was arranged according to the 
value of the scores, both rifle and pistol and revolver 
scores to count. 25 shots offhand, 20yds. for the pistol, 
25yds. for the rifle, on the standard indoor targets. 
Capt. W. R. Murphy’s score of 234 was worthy of 
more than the lemons, but that he got them was due 
to his bad judgment in selecting his prize, not poor 
shooting, for H. G. Hoffman, who shot 224 drew a 
silver match box, done up in 35 or 40 wrappers, and 
W. E. Fennel, 216, drew a match-safe. Davis. 
New Range for Louisville Club. 
The Louisville (Ky.) Rifle and Revolver Club has 
completed plans for a 1000-yard private rifle and revolver 
range at Gardner station on the Henderson road, nine 
miles from Louisville. The range can also be reached 
via the Manslick road, and is located on properly owned 
by R. C. Kinkead, Brent Altsheler and Temple Bodley, 
in a hollow open at one end and closed at the other by 
a hill about 200 feet high. There will be two targets, 
and they will be placed at the base of this hill. The 
targets will be made in accordance with the United States 
Army regulations, and will be manipulated from a pit 10 
feet deep. The range is practically level, and will afford 
excellent shooting. The ground is now covered with 
heavy underbrush, but this is being cut away so as to 
afford a path 60 feet wide throughout the length of the 
range. There will be stations every 200 yards up to 
1000 yards from the targets. There will be a telephone 
system connecting each station with the pit, so con¬ 
testants can tell exactly the results of the shooting. The 
club has thirty-five members, and it is proposed to admit 
fifteen new members in consequence of the increased 
facilities of the club.
