JACOBSEN GOT
THE POSSIBLE
His Rife Bullets Hit the
Inch Center Five
Times.
A Fine Record That Has Not
Been Beaten by the Best
Shots.
Good Scores Made by Pistol and Rifle
Marksmen at the Shell Mound
Range.

The rifle and pistol shooting at the Shell
Mound range was better yesterday than
usual, and consequently the scores made
were ahead of the average. Five shoot
ing organizations were on the grounds
The light during the most of the day was
good and the wind not heavy. The fifty
shot rife match at 200 yards between f.
E. Mason and A. II. Pape did not take
place, because of the late arrival OF the
latter and business engagements of the
former.
Ernest Jacobsen of the Colum bia Rifle
and Pistol Club broke the 22-caliber rife
record al fifty yards. While shooting on
the Roos medal he made five ones in sue
cession, Columbia target. This means
that he placed his fve shots within cir
Gle one inch in diameter, offhand. Mich
ael Dorrler OF New York, one of the best
shots in the United States, has never done
any better, ii as well.
Some time ago Colonel Beaver made q
score OF in five shots and stated that II
the possible was ever made he would make
the lucky marksman a special prize.
Jacobsens score is bette than the possi-
bic on the reduced military target al
twenty-five y ards. TINS brings his total
of ten scores 20 a total o. 50 points in fifty
shots.
Ell HoVey made another advance on the
10 shot, Glindemann military medal. His
total now (Creed moor county is 474 out of
