INTERNATIONAL MATCH. 



THE following circular has been issued by the president of the 

 National Rifle Association: 



New York, May t, 1882. 

 Tn the National Ovard and Militia: 



The National Hifle Association appeals to the National (lunrd of the 

 United States to furnish from its members skilled riflemen to sustain 

 thehonor and i'epufaii..n ..f lie- United States In the coining inter- 

 national contest "' 



These British ( 

 spirit, come fror 



world-wide reputation as riflemen, and it becomes ub as a en 

 American marksmen to meet them with the most expert shol 

 Guard, anil with frank, soldierly spirit of rivalry, contest forsuprem- 

 acyatthe buits. 



Th. conditions require our team to be selected "from active mem- 

 bers of the uniformed National Guard or militia of the United States." 

 Soldiers against soldiers, our National Guard of America against the 

 Volunteers of Great Britain. No honorable means will he spared on 

 the part of this association to have our team win. as this is a truly 

 international struggle, and we appeal to yott. officers and men, to 

 sustain us and the reputation of your organizations bybringingto the 

 front your best material. 



The Commander-in-Chief of the State of New York, his Excellency 

 (tovcrnor Cornell, and his staff, fully recognize the fame which you 

 will win. and in his (h-ucral Order No. 11. dated Albany, April 81, 1883, 

 sl.alrs; 



"It is the desire of the Commander-in-Chief that tho National 

 Guard of this State shall be worthily represented in tho American 

 team, and to this end atrophy or money (optional) to the value of 

 fifty dollars, will be given by the State to each man accepted on the 



Every reasonable facility will be afforded to any and all National 

 Guardsmen desirous of practising at Creedrnoor for places on the 

 team, and tho association will be glad to furnish full information to 

 any one addressing its secretary. 



The following extracts from the programme may prove of interest: 



Team.— On American side; to be composed of twelve active mem- 

 bers of ihe uniformed national guard or militia -infantry, cavalry or 

 artillery— of any State or States (or of the District of Columbia) in 

 the United States, with two or four reserves, to be determined here- 

 after. Members to wear the uniform, full dress or fatigue (jacket or 

 coat, cap or hat, trousers, waist belt or sword belt if an officer), which 

 uniform and equipments must also be worn in making practice scores 

 for the selection of the team unless otherwise specified. 



Distances. -200, 500 and OuOyds. on one day, and 800, 900 and 1,000 

 yds. on another day. Practice scores may be made at all distances 

 on the same day unless otherwise specified. 



All persons authorized to compete in the final competitions for the 

 selection of the team shall have the free use of the range, at Creed- 

 moor for practice for two weeks prior to such competitions. 



On August 15, 16, 17 and 18 four competitions shall be had at Creed- 

 moor by the competitors representing the several States. Upon the 

 conclusion of these competitions fourteen competitors shall be selected 

 by aggregating the three best of then- scores in these competitions, 

 the first aggregate taking the first place and so on until the required 

 number be obtained. The committee shall decide whether any of 

 these competitions shall he postponed on account of weather, etc., 

 and in such case may name another day therefor. 



The National Rifle Association will provide quarters and subsistence 

 on the range for all competitors during the four days of final compe- 

 titions, and for the team and reserve subsequently, until the conclu- 

 sion of the match , 



Incase experience shall prove that the efficiency of the -team will 

 be advanced by the use of any particular military rifle the National 

 Rifle Association will, provide it. 



Desire having been expressed by riflemen for practice matches, for 

 distances and conditions the same as the "International,"' such 

 matches have been prepared with prizes to which "everybody" will 

 be admitted upon paying entrance fees. These fees will be refunded 

 to any of the National Guard or militia upon presenting certification 

 of the commander of the organization to which they belong that they 

 enter for practice for places upon the team to shoot in the inter- 

 national match, which will not prejudice their claim for prizes 

 offered. 



The honor and fame to the military organizations whose members 

 win places will certainly compensate for the expenses incurred in 

 practice, and the liberality of the State of New York to the annual 

 appropriation enables the board of directors to state that a portion of 

 said appropriation will be set aside to defray in part the cost of 

 transportation and subsistence for such officers and- men of the 

 National Guard of that State, and other States, it is hoped, will make 

 similar provision for their own men. 



Trusting to your patriotism and public spirit for support, we are 

 very respectfully, the board of directors National Rifle Association of 

 America. Edward L. Mocineux, President. 



George J. Seabury, Secretary.
