Ohio Rifle Notes. 
At the regular semi-monthly contest of the Outing 
Rifle Club, of West Milton, O., a high wind affected the 
scores badly. The contests were at 200yds. and were on 
the standard American target. In the offhand match, 
5 shots, possible 50, J. A. Vore was high with 41. In 
another round he scored only 24. W. F. Jay shot three 
rounds, scoring 36, 33 and 25. J. C. Anderson also shot 
three rounds, scoring 33, 32 and 31. John Spitler, 31. 
In the rest match, 5 shots, on the American target, 
center valued at 12, possible 60, J. C. Anderson was high 
with 52. In a second round he made 49; J. A. Vore, 48; 
W. F. Jay, 44; Jesse Spitler, 48; J. Detrick, 40; J. Spitler, 
38. The club intends to issue a challenge to one or 
more of the neighboring rifle clubs for a four or five- 
man team match for a cup or purse. Provision will be 
made for an optional free-for-all for individuals, with 
three or four moneys in it. 
SIDE LIGHTS OF TRADE. 
Mr. James T. Skelly, of the E. I. duPont Co., writes 
as follows: ‘Mr. Jacob F. Pleiss, of Easton, Pa., made 
a new record for the grounds at the shoot held on May 
5 by the Alert Gun Club, of Phillipsburg, N. J. Mr. 
Pleiss’ record was a run of 65 straight, the previous 
best record being 55 straight, although the list of ex- 
pert who have shot over these grounds include J. M. 
Hawkins, W. H. Heer, Fred Gilbert, Luther Squier, 
J. A. R.- Elliott, Neaf Apgar Sim Glover and Jack 
Fanning. Mr. Pleiss’ total score out of 100 shot at was 
96 which he followed with 23 out of 26 at 13 pairs. Mr. 
Pleiss is of the opinion that some other shooters could 
change their ammunition and shoot the load he uses 
with advantage to their scores.”

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
J. N. D., Boston.—At a recent contest of the Water- 
town Gun Club, at Watertown, Mass., a member, at 
the traps, shooting under interstate rules, snapped his 
gun at a flying target. The shell failed to explode. 
The shooter opened his gun before the referee was able 
to reach him. On examination, the primer of the shell 
was found indented. The referee adjudged the bird 
lost, but the decision has since been questioned. I have 
had pleasure and instruction from your paper for fifteen 
years. 
[The referee was in error. Under Interstate rules, 
opening the gun, in relation to a misfire, refers only to 
live-bird shooting.]
