National Rifle Association. 
The tournament of the National Rifle Association and New 
Jersey State Rifle Association, at Sea Girt, N. J., next September 
promises to be of exceptional international interest. The Ulster 
Rifle Association, of Belfast, Ireland, will send a team which will 
shoot a special match. The secretary, Mr. John McKenna, of 
Belfast, sent the following official letter on this subject: 
"Belfast, Ireland, A5)ril 6.— Lieut. Albert S. Jones, Assistant 
Secretary New Jersey State Rifle Association, Passaic, N. J.: My 
dear sir— I cabled you yesterday, 'Ulster accepts, caliber .315,' 
■which I trust reached you in due course. I am very pleased, in- 
deed, that the match is now arranged, and it is most agreeable to 
me to confirm the cable. 
■'We had a. very large meetmg of the Ulster Rifle Association, and 
on the propo3ition of Maj. Millner, who shot on the Irish team in 
1S80 against you, it was unanimously agreed that your challenge 
1^ accepted by our Association, independent of whether the Irish 
Rifle Association accepts the challenge of your National RiAe 
Asspciation for the old America vs, Ireland tnatcli or not. 
' However, we will be over in August, and hope to have a pleas- 
ant titnc with you. Your conditions are perfectly agreeable to us, 
except that .45 bores being relics of the past we cannot admit; 
.315 is the maximum now in use here, so this will amply cover 
your modern caliber. Then so many of our juveniles wish to have 
a look in that we should desire it left an open matter on our 
arrival in the United States, to name number of men in team, not 
exceeding eight or less than five. We fancy this will be quite 
agreeable to you, having so many capable shots to select from. 
All other conditions are perfectly satisfactory. In fact, we go to 
meet Americans, our real brother riflemen. Victors or vanquished, 
we shall return happy. 
"The captain of our team will be Mr. James Wilson, an old- 
time rifleman. With renewed good wishes, and hoping to find you 
all in tip top fettle (after the match), I am, dear sir, yours very 
truly John McKenna, Secretary Ulster Rifle Association Team." 
Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, New York 
and the District of Columbia have already signified their intention 
to be represented by State teams.
