The money-back system has after a fair trial been 
almost universally adopted by the largest and best shoot¬ 
ing affairs in this country, and will undoubtedly attract 
many shooters. The Rose system in the division of 
money is in general favor, and will probably be adopted 
for this_ occasion. Charles North will look after the trap¬ 
ping. The object of this shoot will not be to make money, 
but to give a grand shoot, wherein all participants are 
expected to have an enjoyable time, and good fellowship 
is to be the watchword during this most important 
shooting event of the year for New York State. The 
cosy club rooms of the Masonic Temple Club, in the 
heart of the city, will be headquarters for all visiting 
shooters, and open house is to be maintained during the 
three days of the. shoot, and all are expected to make 
themselves at home at this club during their stay in 
Syracuse. The shoot will be held under the auspices of 
the Masonic Temple Gun Club.

Fixtures. 
March 9-16.—New York-Zettler Rifle Club annual cham¬ 
pionship and prize shoot, 159 West 23d St. F. Heck- 
mg, Sec’y.

Providence Revolver Club. 
We have our hands full with telegraph matches and 
some ether clubs are going to add to their victory list 
the way we are shooting. Walnut Hill, on Feb. 22, put 
us in third place. Of course, the crack Massachusetts 
shots were too much for us to expect to touch, and Port¬ 
land grinned at the point lead which put them in second 
place. Our only satisfaction was the fact that there was 
a fourth team, else we would have been at the tail end. 
The following Saturday we shot our scores against the 
Pinehurst, N. C., pistol team, giving them 25 points. 
Their scores have not been received yet, but should 
cause us to wither, as our boys averaged only 75.9 per 
cent. 
Last Saturday night we shot a team of ten men 
against a like number of the Montreal, Canada, Club. 
Their scores are to be shot Thursday evening (the 7th), 
and again we fell off, averaging 73.2 per cent. 
In the first match, Argus was up against hard luck, 
having a high score spoiled by a defective cartridge, 
which caused the bullet to reach the floor instead of fhe 
target. 
In the last match two of our boys dropped poor 
scores. One rifleman, who has done nothing with the 
revolver for a long time, was accommodating enough to 
go on to fill out tenth place. 
Two members of the’ new Boston Revolver Club visited 
the range in the afternoon, looking up the fittings for 
their new gallery, and did a little practice work, which 
shows that when we go down to hold an argument with 
them, we will be obliged to do better than 70s to 
come home elated. 
Details of the two matches will follow as soon as 
received.
