Repeating 
Gallery Rifle with Telescope 
'^HIS Telescope has sufficient eye relief to admit of its being placed forward of receiver, and on top of rifle. Telescopes having short eye relief can 
only be used with side mounts on magazine rifles that eject shells from the top. As top mounts are generally preferred, the new glass is a favorite 
with shooters who use Repeating Rifles. This Telescope has a power of 2 ^^" diameters; the field is as large as it is possible to make it, and is remarkably 
bright and clear. At dusk or in dark woods, where ordinary sights are useless, game is easily discerned with this glass. For target practice it is unexcelled.

Hell Gate Gun Club. 
New York. —The advance guard of the Hell Gate Gun 
Club arrived at the Duck Farm Hotel on the evening of 
Jan. 25, on the occasion of the initial contest for the 
present year. As the ten days previous had been very 
disagreeable as to weather, fog and rain without end, the 
club members were agreeably surprised by noting that 
the Weather Clerk had caused a cold northwest wind to 
spring up, which increased to almost a gale on the 
morning of the 26th. 
The birds supplied by mine host Schlicher were “birds” 
indeed, as noted by the asterisks shown in the scores. 
Often dead in the air, they were blown out over the 
imaginary boundary line. The members showed the 
lack of practice, as the club had not appeared at the 
traps since September last. 
Thirteen members started the race at 9 A. M., and as 
an additional five arrived from the metropolis at 11:15 
A. M., a total of eighteen faced the score from the 
allotted marks. Distance and point handicaps governed 
the contest. 
The afternoon squad drew comparatively slower birds 
in the second and third string of 10. 
There were many magnificent stops recorded, Charley 
Lange topping the bunch on the first two strings, while 
Ed Meckel was high on the final. Mr. J. FI. Selg, whose 
score was lowest, certainly had nerve to shoot at all, as 
I saw him but a few days ago with his shooting arm in 
a sling, just recovering from a fractured collar bone, a 
nasty break high up. He shot a very light load, but 
was bound to see the thing through. 
John Schlicht. though often making better scores on 
poorer birds than we had to-day, used fine judgment on 
fast flyers, and never shot better, his 24th. in my opinion, 
being the best score of the day, considering the class 
of birds drawn by him. 
Lange was there with the goods until the final 10, 
when 3 of his quota went out of bounds filled with Gs. 
Baudy shot very consistently. 
Schortemeier shot in ragged form. His last bird, 
though fast, flew steadily and w'as missed clean w'ith 
both barrels. 
Our president, John H. Voss, had lots to attend to in 
his official capacity, and seemed to dw'ell on his birds 
too long, and the results showed his poorest total for 
some years. But wait until the next time. 
Pierce Brennan, whose handicap is 26yds., but who 
generally uses a 10-gauge at 28yds., only made three 
second-barrel kills in his 30 birds. 
Mr. Doherty did well, his 9th in the second score earn¬ 
ing him more points than the 30yd. men to-day earned 
in their entire three scores. 
Messrs. Henderson and W. J. Brennan tied on 22. 
These are a couple of our latest members, and it seemed 
as if they were simply practicing for the morrow, when 
the Buskies of the Ilronx, of which they are the leading 
members, were to have their innings at the score. 
Adam Dietzel, one of our best shots, performed very 
evenly, and our old friend J. P. Dannefelser, chased them 
all up on points. 
Ed Meikel made the best total, but his shooting part¬ 
ner, Mr. Hughes, was rather uncertain where to hold. 
Mr. Belden and Peter Garms wound up the day’s sport 
and did well. A good dinner was served at midday, 
and a sweep finished the day. Scores as follows:

The last event ended a most enjoyable day, and the 
boys hiked home with their duffle. Brennan lost but 8 
out of 75. Mr. Henderson missed 12. 
Mr. Belden accounted for 45 out of 50 shot at, having 
a straight run of 34, making many excellent stops. 
Capt. Dreyer shot in better form than ever before. 
Mr. Harry Bergen, president of the Bergen Beaeh Gun 
Club, was also present. In fact, all the Buskies, except 
Belden and Koegel, are active members of the three Bs 
target smashing — or target missing occasionally — fraternity 
of Brooklyn. Manhatta.
