New Jersey State Rifle Association. 
As the lune draws near for tht interstate rifle contests at Sea 
1 Kl'u t, N. J.,^ which lake place .Aug. 31 to Sept. 9, interest is increas- 
ing among; the national guardsmen, and at nearly all the State 
ranges groups of enthusiastic riflemen can be found daily prac- 
ticing for places on State and regimental teams who will strive to 
win national laurels at the famous range by the sea. 
'fhe increased intercut in rifle shooting is shown by tlie large 
number of entries in all the big matches this vear. In the Hilton 
trophy match for llielStale champion.ship tlie States of Xevv York, 
New Jersey, M-asssichiisetts, District of Columbia, Minnesota and 
[Uinois have aVrt-a-dy expressed their intention of contesting, the 
two latter States being newcomers in the arena of national com- 
petitions. ' 
Pennsylvania has a team of her crack shots ready to take the 
trip to Sea Girt at no expense to the State, btit there seems to 
be some difficulty about getting the necessary permission from 
the proper authority, which will undoubtedly be overcome, as 
{Pennsylvania has always been a State to recognize the value of 
these interstate contests for her soldiers. 
Maine and New Hampshire are two States which contain plenty 
«f material for a State team, and both have been unsuccessful 
cuinpetitot.s in ihrstr i-onlests. The lack ut rinancial, help Iroui 
their States will prevent both ot them from being represented. 
It is said that a rifle team from .Atlanta, Ga., will ask permit 
sion to represent that State. ■ . ^ 
An interesting contest this year will be the revolver team 
match, in which entries have already been made by Battery A. 
J.ighr Artillery, Massachusetts; S.^uadron .\, .Vew York; Gover 
nor's Horse t'iuards, .Vtlanta, Ga.; Essex and Monmouth troops. 
New Jersey; .Second Regiment, Di.strict of Columbia, and Fourth 
Uegiment, New Jersey. 
In the individual military championship of America match 
more than twenty States will be represented, and' in the Wimble 
■Ion cup match at l,0<X)yds. six more targets had to be built to 
accommodate the number of shooters who will line up. 
A convention of riflemen will be held at the club house of the" 
New Jersey State Rifle Association on .Sept. 5 to organize a na 
tional league of riflemen,

On -Aug. 4 there was a light attendance at the weekly shoot oi 
ilie Keystone Shooting League. The main event was a handicap 
at 50 targets for a merchandise prize. Stevenson broke 24 out of 
his first 26, while Hallowell was but one behind. The KeyitOne, 
Shooting League has accepted the challenge of the Phctnix Gtin 
Club to contest a series of target races. There probably will 
teams of twelve and the first contest is likel>;_to take place at 
Holmesburg Junction, on the grounds of the Keystone Shooting

Under date oi July 31 Mr. Ansley II. Fox, oi Baltimore, who ha* 
distinguished himself as a shooter of great skill, informs us that ht 
becomes a professional on Aug. 1 in the interest of the Winchester 
Repeating Arms Co., and will shoot their "pump gun" and their 
ammiinition. Mr. Fox has already established a wide acquaint- 
:tnce among sportsmen, and acquired a thorough knowledge of 
tournament matters, so that he enters tiie new field fully equipped 
as to skill and knowledge. As a professional trap shot he now is 
one of the very able and gentlemanly class called professional 
shooting gentlemen of exceptionally high attainments and ability. 
The Xew Haven Gun Club, New Haven. Conn., has issued the 
jsrogramine for its target tournament, to be held on Aug. 22, com- 
mencing at 9 o'clock. There are twelve events, 10, 15, 20 and 25 
targets, a total of 160, with a total entrance of $12. There is $20

moneys. Those who wish may shoot for targets only. 'To reach 
the grounds take State street cars to Schuetzen Park. Refresh-

The contest for the championship of New Jersey, of whirh the 
E C cup is the emblem, between 5.1 r. F. E. Sinnock, of Newark, 
and Mr. H. H. Stevens, of New Brunswick, was keen and good, 
with a close finish. Our^ of the 0) targets each broke 46— an ex- 
cellent score, and a 92: per cent. gait. In the shoot-ofl' at 10 tar- 
gets Sinnock broke straight and won out by one target. 
Messrs. j. J. Hallowell and .An.sley H. Fox passed through New. 
York on Monday of this week, their objective point being the 
Interstate shoot at Newport, \'t. Mr. Hallowell has been doiir^r 
some great work recently on live birds, and Mr. Fox has been 
conducting his efforts on similar lines on targets irt the good oljj. 
"State of Maryland. His long runs and hiifh scores on targets bai*e 
been deserving of attention and praise. . ' ' ' 
Mr. Ehiier E. Shaner, Pittsburg, manager of the Interstate As- 
sociation, passed through New York on Friday of last week., eiv 
route for the Interstate shoot at Newport. Vt., to be held on 
Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. His early arrival on the 
scene where the battle is to be fought will insure that every , 
detail is arranged to a nicety and that Mr. Shaner will conduct.' 
the shoot v.'ith the same precision that Soiisa conducts a band. ' 
The Medicus Gun Club, of Brooklyn, L. L, has under considera^r 
tion the matter cr£ a, series of shoots, with a medal of cup and 
cash prizes, to. he given in the near future. The members of the'

have offered many valuahle prizes, besides giving their time and- 
earnest attention to it.

pionship of Long Island trophy, at Interstate Park, Queens on

erty. He used a Francotte gun, E C powder and U. M C. sheik ■

the Phoenix Gun.- Club, of Phoenixville, Pa., to a team contest 
There is every probability that teams representing the two clubs 
will compete tn the. near future.
