The British American states that "the Austrian minister in 
Washington announces that in May an international shooting 
match for young men employing army rifles and ammunition will 
be held under the auspices of the Egyetemi Athbetikai Club at 
Budapest. This is to be the first competition of the kind ever 
held. The first prize will be 5,000 kroner and a gold medal. 
There will also be second and third prizes of less value. Any 
young man born since Jan. 1, 1880, will be eligible. It is an- 
nounced that any person wishing to take part is to communicate 
with the committee in charge of the competition at Budapest, 
inclosing a certificate of his birth." • 
The name of the club is very significant, and will bear a lot of 
earnest study, and 5,000 kroner, though vague, is interesting. The 
experts, born in 1800 will have difficulty to qualify.
