Fat,l Programme op the National Rifle Association. 

 —A meeting of the leading military authorities was held at. 

 the Hotel Brunswick on Thursday evening to decide upon 

 various points in the programme of the National Rifle As- 

 sociation upon which an interchange of opinion was de- 

 sired. Present, General Storehouse, the. Assistant Adjutant 

 General; General Morris, the Inspector-General of rifle 

 practice; General Knox, the Commissary General, together 

 with General McMahon and Colonels AVingate and Gilder- 

 sleeve, representing the Association. The main object of 

 the meeting was to decide whether it was judicious, in 

 order to prevent the maintenance of permanent "teams" 

 by regiments, to require the regiment winning the State 

 prize to be represented by a different team the year follow- 

 ing their winning it, as had been contemplated, and whether, 

 if this was the case, sufficient notice had been given to the 

 Twenty-second regiment, the winners last year, to prevent 

 injustice, if now enforced. After considerable discussion, 

 it was decided that, although the Twenty-second had a 

 second team actually selected, yet as they claimed that the 

 rule if enforced this year would operate unjustly toward 

 them, it was best not'to insert it in the programme, but to 

 let the best team win, irrespective of their success last 

 year. It was also decided that all teams must be composed 

 of regularly enlisted members of their respective regiments 

 who were, such prior to June 1st, 1874: also that the rifles 

 used by the National Guard must be used as issued, without 

 tiling the sights in anv way or affixing others of new 

 pattern. The ammunition used in the National Guard 

 matches will be issued at the firing points on behalf of the 

 State, In reply to questions from competitors, General 

 Knox stated that he intended to issue for that match Union 

 Metallic Company's cartridges, but had none of that descrip- 

 tion now on hand to issue for practice. 



TennkpivU Spoiitsmpn's Association.— The State Sports- 

 men's- Association of Tenuesee will hold a grand pigeon 

 shoot, a bench show of dogs, and for the first time in 

 America will inaugurate a series of Field Trials for pointers 

 and betters. This gathering of sportsmen will take place 

 at ihe Agricultural Fair rounds, Memphis, on October 7, 

 8, 9 andlO. The Field Trials will take place on the 8th. 

 We will publish the programme next week.
