National Rifle Association Notes 
An important meeting of the Executive Committee 
of the National Rifle Association of America was held 
at the office of the Association in Washington last 
week. In addition to the members of the committee 
there was present Mr. Breckinridge, the assistant sec¬ 
retary of war and president of the National Board for 
Promotion of Rifle Practice. 
The secretary submitted the applications for affilia 
tion of twelve civilian rifle clubs, three college clubs 
and six school-boy clubs, all of which were elected to 
membership in the Association. Among the college 
clubs was one from the United States Naval Academy. 
Owing to the increasing popularity in gallery shoot¬ 
ing throughout the country, it was decided to have 
annually hereafter a new match to be known as the 
“Individual Gallery Championship of the United States,” 
the shooting conditions to be the same as the National 
Interclub Gallery competition; each competitor to fire 
fifty shots on official targets furnished by the National 
Rifle Association; the prizes to be a gold medal and 
a life membership in the National Rifle Association for 
first, a gold medal for second, a silver medal for third 
and seven bronze medals, making ten prizes in all. 
The secretary reported that arrangements had been 
perfected between the Association and the Boy Scouts 
of America whereby the National Rifle Association 
would co-operate with that organization for the carry¬ 
ing on of markmanship qualification for merit badges; 
that wherever possible the National Rifle Association 
would co-operate with the range officer appointed by 
the court of honor of the local council and would f i¬ 
nish the official targets for qualification shooting. For 
the present, all targets made by scouts will be sent 
to the National Rifle Association for the determining 
of the score and when the same is sufficiently high the 
scout will be reported to the national council for a 
merit badge. 
A report was also received from the secretary in 
regard to efforts being made in several large cities to 
organize rifle tournaments during the winter among the 
high schools, the National Board for Promotion of Rifle 
Practice having offered to donate sub-target rifle ma¬ 
chines to the cities for interschool competition. The re¬ 
quest of the Association was disapproved by the school 
authorities of St. Louis and similar requests are now 
pending before the school authorities of Chicago and 
Boston. In the latter city, the local congressman, 
the Honorable J. M. Curley, has seconded the request 
of the National Rifle Association and strongly urged 
the school board to allow the training in marksman¬ 
ship to be carried on in the Boston schools in the 
similar manner that it is now carried on so success¬ 
fully in New York and Washington. 
Looking to the future, there was a general dis¬ 
cussion as to the advisability of having the annual 
matches next year and with a view of ascertaining 
when and where such matches could be successfully 
carried out, the secretary was instructed to com¬ 
municate with such states as had facilities to run off 
large shooting competitions with a view of finding 
ranges available for the 1914 matches and to report 
-pf f flis .findings at the annual meeting of 
the board of directors which will be held in Washing¬ 
ton n Tan-ary 14. rgi4. 
It was also decided to again reintroduce the “Rifle 
Practice Bill” in Congress but to ask for the issue 
of arms and ammunition only, making no effort to 
get an appropriation from the next Congress. 
The rule governing sights for indoor qualification 
of the National Rifle Association was changed so that 
sights may he mounted anywhere on the rifle in con- 
i , rr -:-,. ,. *1, tl-e rule of the interclub matches.

Philadelphia, Nov. 29.—Never in the history of local
