Zettler Rifle Championship. 
The annual gallery championship match and prize 
shoot, under the auspices of the Zettler Rifle Club, was 
held in Zettler Brothers’ gallery, 159 West Twenty-third 
street, New York, March 9 to 16, inclusive, Sunday ex¬ 
cepted. 
It was a great tournament. After it was all over, both 
the Zettler brothers, Charlie and Barney, the latter the 
Shooting Master, declared it was the greatest of all the 
champtonship contests. “And, yes,” added Charlie, “it 
was both the greatest and best, for there was not one 
protest made during the whole shoot, and no friction of 
any kind whatever. It was a record-breaker in the 
number of entries.” 
The tournament was held in Zettler Brothers’ gallery, 
159 West Twenty-third street, New York, a place well 
equipped for the holding of a rifle tournament, and 
under auspices which insure that the most scrupulous 
fairness will be shared by all contestants alike. 
There is an infinity of detail in conducting such a 
tournament, and much to fret and worry over, if one 
has the responsibility of the management. But it was 
managed with ease and skill. On Monday morning, 
after it was all over, the Zettler brothers started in 
patiently to clear up the litter, and to resume the 
mending of guns, rifles and pistols—which is their voca 
tion, in addition to running a shooting gallery—as if it 
all was a part of the day’s work. 
In the gathering of contestants were a number of the 
most famous marksmen in this country. 
The main contest was the 100-shot championship, open 
to all comers. Shooting each day began at 10 A. M. 
and ended at 11 P. M. On the last day, the sale of 
tickets closed at 9 P. M.' The conditions were: Dis¬ 
tance T5ft., .22 short cartridges; any sights, telescopes 
included; palm rests permitted; all shooting offhand; 
entrance $5; the 100 shots to be fired in 20 scores of 5 
shots each, at any time during the tournament. The 
regular twenty-five !4in. ring target was used. The 
contestant making the highest score won, and received 
the gold badge and choice of prizes. First prize in the 
list was a Winchester Schuetzen rifle, donated by the 
Winchester Repeating Arms Co. Second prize of the 
list was a gold trophy, donated by Peters Cartridge Co. 
The Stevens Arms and Tool Co. donated two telescopes. 
Schoverling, Daly & Gales donated a .22cal. rifle. The 
Zettler Club donated twenty cash prizes, ranging from. 
$20 to $3, a total of $130. The Zettler trophy went to 
the contestant having the best 10-shot score who did 
not win a prize.

Audubon’s Birds of America. 
We have a few plates of this magnificent work, which will be sold singly until the supply is 
exhausted. They are of the edition issued in America by Roe, Lockwood & Co., and represent the 
birds as life size. The sheets are elephant folio, and the paper heavy. For accuracy of delineation, 
fidelity to detail, and accessories 
Audubon's Birds Have Never Been Equaled. 
The constantly increasing scarcity of this work makes these large plates each year more valuable, so 
that from a business point of view they are a profitable investment. For a sportsman’s dining room a selection 
of these plates appropriately framed makes a 
SUPERB ORNAMENT. 
Some of these plates are double and can if desired be cut in two and put in smaller frames. The size of 
sheet is 39 x 26 inches, and they will be sent securely packed in a mailing tube, postage paid.
