THE INTERNATIONAL MATCH. 



THE Adjutant Generals of the several States have been notified 

 of the doings of the Board of Directors of the National Rifle As- 

 sociation, through the following communication: 



My Dear Sir— We take pleasure in requesting a careful perusal of 

 circulars herewith enclosed referring to the coming international 

 military match between the National Guard (British volui 

 Great Britain and the National Guard of the United Stat 9 Yffllj 

 attention is directed more especially to general order No. 11, issued 

 by the Adjutant General and Commander-in-Chief of the State ..f New 

 York. The National Rifle Association of America is particular!} 

 desirous of having the composition of the team (twelve men and two 

 reserves) truly national in the broadest sense, and, to promote this' 

 desideratum, we respectfully solicit vour valued assistance. It is true 

 that expert riflemen in all States are limited^ yet a general order pro- 



ulgated by you, indorsing, sanctioning and 



competition among yc 

 encourage and develop 

 and enthusiasm already 

 must also remember, in 

 being represented bv t 

 United States, that the 



will 

 natio 



cling general 

 oilitia, will not only 

 nuance the interest 

 al guardsmen. You 

 essitv of our fcefljs 

 able in tl.n 



connection with th. 

 le mort skillful mai 



_. British volunteer team will be composed of 

 exceptionally excellent shots, particularly at the longer ranges, and 

 to increase the probability of success we must have a general eompe-i 

 tition and select the most available men strictly on recorded merit. 



New Y r ork State is generally conservative, but in this event she has 

 shown practical proofs of her position. Not only has she encouraged 

 the movement on the basis of upholding our national honor and repu- 

 tation as marksmen, but she has guaranteed a trophy ('or money op- 

 tional) to the value of $50 for each member of her National GusH 

 that is accepted on the team. This match is exclusively military and- 

 will be the greatest and most important event which has ever taken 

 place in the history of rifle practice. The Nat on ill Rifle Association 

 will furnish for this match, either directly or indirectly, an exceed- 

 ingly valuable, trophy, to he shot for alternately at Wimbledon and 

 Creedmoor. Each member of the winning team will be presented 

 with a gold medal in commemoration of the victory. We have already 

 received assurance of moral and practical support from several 

 States, and, as competitors should begin in May or June, may we in- 

 dulge the hope that you, too, not only favor the match, but will do all 

 in your power to induce your men to compete for a place on the team 

 and tender us your earnest support and co-operation? An early 

 response will be thoroughly appreciated by youra very truly, (ho 

 directors of the National Rifle Association of America. 



George J. Seaeutcy, Secretary 



In the matter of sights on rifles to be used in the coming Tnferna- 

 tional Military Rifle Match the Executive Committee of the National > 

 Rifle Association has passed the following resolution: "1 

 That only military back sights on rifles, with a single notch on tho 

 upper edge, the lower edge being perfectly straight, three permanent 

 vertical lines and no level motion will be allowed." 



MATCH CONDITIONS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



I enclose score of glass ball shoot. There are throe prizes; Richard- 

 son takes first, W. Taber second. Now, who should shoot off tie for 

 third? Some of us think Curtis, Morton and Faber should- and 

 others think Short and Morse should. Which are right? The score S- 

 as follows: Yards.

 l.-J. B. T. 



The conditions governing the shooting off of ties and the award o[ - 

 prizes In trap and target shooting should be clearly laid .low* befc 

 the match is shot. "Unless this bo done there can be no r,-. 

 decision of such a question as our correspondent asks. It should be ( 

 termined beforehand, whether or not the shooting is to be "class she 

 ing," i.e., where the prizes are divided between the respective highi 

 classes. According to this rule, in the match above reported, the fit... 

 prize would go to the shooter scoring 15. The second prize, would go. 

 to those scoring 14, who might either divide it, or shoot off for it. Thft 

 third prize would then go to those scoring 12; and if there were a 

 fourth, it would belong to the class of tens. If the shooting is not < 

 class shooting then the three prizes should be awarded, first to tho 

 score of 15; second to the score of 14 plus 2; third to the score of 11 

 plus 1. But all dispute would be avoided bj- simply adopting one or 

 the other of these plans, before shooting. 



BOSTON, April 29.— The gentlemen who participated in the regU* 

 lar weekly shoot at Walnut Hill to-day were rewarded by one of the 

 most balmy of spring days. The sun shone brightly, wanning the air 

 and making it a pleasure and a benefit to he out of doors. T! i -. 

 or rather the air, came from the west during the morning, but ab 

 2 o'clock it commenced to breeze up and blew quite freshly but no
