Jonathan A. Lear and wife were over from Sun- 
bury, (_)., in their machine, and John says he always likes 
to come to Columbus to shoot, and we are glad to 
hear it. 
Chas. J. Nass and George Steinbauer, two young 
men from Meigs county, were sent up to represent 
Pomeroy, O. Old Hart Stanbery and old Doc Gribble 
remained at home to see that the German band did not 
miss connections for the Elks’ clambake at Galliopolis. 
The Doctor and the Duke’s conspicuous absence from 
the Twentieth Century was the sole topic of conversa¬ 
tion among the “I-told-you-so Club.” Many conjecturesi 
were advanced as tb the cause, until we received a red 
letter from Dutchy Reinhart, the steamboat man, with 
full particulars. 
Uncle Jack Smith, of Columbus, says he is getting 
younger every day, and we all believe it, as he certainly 
lias a fine new baby at his house. 
T. S. Bibbe, of Elba, O., the good old sportsman 
from the Muskegon, was on hand, and reports that his 
town was a complete wreck in the spring flood. 
H. L. Hildinger and wife, of London, were over for 
the shoot, and H. L. enjoys this game, as well as any 
of them. 
Billie Webster, of Columbus, says, “Well, that shoot 
at Springfield on the 25th of September sounds right 
good to me.” Billy and I used to shoot at quite a 
few of those old-time 35, 30, 20'and 15 shoots. And they 
used to be quite lively, too. 
The Columbus Gun Club was the first club in the 
country to inaugurate a shoot of this character, wherein 
the round trip railroad fare and shells were furnished 
to the contestants, and in addition, $300 in cash added 
and five fine trophies. The club in attempting this 
shoot stood all chances of loss, not having any precedent 
to go by, and we are pleased to note from the attitude 
of the shooters in attendance that they enjoyed the shoot, 
the novelty of it, and had a good time.

W ilmington, N. C., Aug. 20.—The following scores 
were made at the two-dav shoot of the North Carolina 
State Association. No. 11 on the first day was the

W. Collins was high amateur with 95, but being a non¬ 
resident, was not eligible to title. Pearce and Penning¬ 
ton tied on 91, and o n shoot-off at 25 targets, Penning¬ 
ton won, 23 to 20. Scores: 
First Day. Second Day.

National Rifle Meet. 
Camp Perry, O., Aug. 15. — From to-day to Sept. 9 
more bullets will be hurled at the bullseye here than 
'\'. er . e expended in many of the great battles of the 
Civil War. The trials began with the historical old 
matches of the National Rifle Association of America, 
the opening eyent being the thirty-eighth annual con¬ 
test. for the Wimbledon cup, representing the individual 
leng-range championship of the United States. 
The event which all riflemen strove for was the 
1 resident’s match, which was shot for on Aug. 21 and 
won by -- - 
This match carries with it the title of the individual 
military championship of the United States, and the 
winner, in addition to receiving a gold medal, receives 
an autograph letter of commendation from the Presi¬ 
dent of the United States. 
On Aug. 25 began the national matches, biennial 
events participated in by teams from al the States and 
territories of the Union, the District of Columbia, two 
teams from the army representing the infantry, and 
cavalry, the navy, and marine corps. Every State in 
the Union, with the exceptions of Nebraska, Nevada, 
Idaho, Arkansas and South Carolina are represented.

In all, about forty-nine teams. The national matches 
closed Aug. 29, and the following day, the four ser¬ 
vices on which Uncle Sam depends for defense—i. e., 
the army, navy, marine corps and national guard—will 
compete in the United Service match to determine the 
rifle shooting supremacy. 
Interest, however, is centered in the international 
match beginning Monday, Sept. 1. The riflemen of 
the United States who have practically traveled to the 
four corners of the earth, winning laurels wherever they 
went, this year extended an invitation to every nation 
of the world to send rifle teams to America as a part 
of the Perry’s victory centennial celebration, which is 
being held on Lake Erie. The organization of inter¬ 
national rifle shooting societies of the world voted in 
France last year to bring their matches to the United 
States this year, and the newly organized Pan-American 
Shooting Union did the same, thus insuring a concen¬ 
tration of all the great international shooting competi¬ 
tions of the world at Camp Perry. Ten nations will 
take part in these matches. They are: France, Ger¬ 
many, Switzerland, Sweden, Argentine Republic, Peru, 
Canada, Mexico, Cuba and the United States. 
To insure the success of this meeting and to enable 
the committee of arrangements to properly entertain 
the visiting riflemen, Congress appropriated $25,000. This 
was supplemented by the State of Ohio, which appro¬ 
priated $15,000. Out of these appropriations, the trans¬ 
portation of foreign teams in this country will be paid. 
In the matches themselves, which consist of team 
matches with both rifle and pistol, nearly $30,000 in 
cash prizes will be paid; in addition to which special 
gold, silver and bronze plaques, medals and works of 
art will be given to the extent of about $3,000 or more. 
The French nation has presented to the riflemen of the 
United States a magnificent Sevres vase, to be competed 
for by local riflemen only. In addition to this prize de 
luxe, France is also giving six cups for the inter¬ 
national individual match with the army rifle. 
It will be incumbent upon the United States to 
organize and train four teams, one for the Free rifle match 
at 300 meters of the International Union, one for the mili¬ 
tary rifle match of the Pan-American Union, a team 
for the Palma trophy match, and a pistol team, which 
will enter the matches of both International unions. 
The interests of the United States in the pistol matches 
will be taken care of through the United States Re¬ 
volver Association, and the captain of the team is the 
well-known international pistol shot, Captain Reginald 
H. Sayre, of the New York National Guard. 
The proposition which is giving the most concern 
to the American riflemen is the organization of a team 
for the Free rifle match. This is a method of shooting 
almost unknown to American riflemen. Free rifles 
would be considered by our men as freak rifles, consist¬ 
ing of heavy barrels, set triggers, palm rests and espe¬ 
cially made stocks to fit the contour of the face and 
shoulder. The man who has been selected to organize 
this team and lead it to victory is Lieut.-Col. Glendie 
B. Young, of the District of Columbia National Guard. 
Special rifles are being manufactured and a preliminary 
tryout to select ten men to put in training for this team 
will be held at the Camp Perry range to-day. 
In this match Switzerland in the past has been in¬ 
vincible. In the sixteen years that this match has been 
shot, she has won it fifteen times and was second once. 
The team from Switzerland is the one that was victori¬ 
ous in France last year. One member of the team, 
Mr. Staeheli, has been the high honor man in this com¬ 
petition several limes. The captain of the team from 
Switzerland is Meyer de Stabdelhosen. 
The French are represented by two teams; the rifle 
team captained by D. Merillon, the president of the 
International Union. One of the members of the team 
is P. R. Colas, who won the 600-meter match at the 
Olympic games last year from Lieut. Osburn, an Amer¬ 
ican, by one point. 
Great things are expected of the team from Argen¬ 
tina, which has been in this country since the middle 
of July, and which has been in training as individuals 
for over half the year. Four members of this team are 
connected with the Argentine navy, and will report to 
an Argentina battleship in this country at the close of 
the matches. The captain of this team is Dr. Juan 
Larlos Gallegos. 
The team from Germany has been in training at 
Nurnberg under the auspices of the Deutscher Schuetzen- 
bund. 
A feature of the international meeting is the large 
attendance of riflemen from Canada. Nearly every prov¬ 
ince has a delegation of its own, in addition to which 
the Dominion of Canada Rifle Association has entered 
a team in the Palma trophy match. A team to repre¬ 
sent the United States will be selected at Camp Perry 
from the scores which the men make in the VVimble- 
don cup match, the Adjutant General’s match and the 
1000-yard stage of the President’s match, and the Marine 
Corps match. The twenty-five men making the highest 
score will be chosen, from whom the final team will be 
selected from a further test held on Aug. 30. The 
captain of this Palma team to represent the United 
States is Lieut.-Col. N. B. Thurston, N. G. N. Y. 
The team to represent the United States in the Inter¬ 
national Pan-American Shooting Union will also be 
selected from the record scores made at the_ Camp Perry 
matches. Capt. Harry Lay, of the United States Marine 
Corps, has been made captain of this team. 
The man who will be at the head of this mammoth 
affair and who will act as executive officer is Brig.- 
Gen. R. K. Evans, U. S. A., who has had much experi¬ 
ence as executive officer in five previous international 
competitions. He will be assisted by about one hundred 
arrnv, marine cerps and national guard officers and will 
have a regiment of troops to take care of the marking 
and scoring. 
Scores made to date here follow, compiled for the 
Forest and Stream by Morton C. Mumma, Captain 
14th Cavalry, statistical officer, and are official:
