Siwanoy Country Club. 
Mt. Vernon, N. V., Feb. 12.—With the temperature 
hovering at about 20 degrees at the Siwanoy Country 
Club traps, it looked as if, in spite of this and the han¬ 
dicap of a playful little breeze, that the twenty-two gun 
section members would turn in some good scores, when 
br. R. T. Held made a mark of 24 in the first practice 
sqiiab Good scoring was not to be, however, when the 
aforesaid playful little breeze noticed what was going on, 
and while the antics of the targets were interesting to 
watch, the targets themselves were very hard to hit. 
First honors in the president’s trophy, which is 
handicapped on the Du Pont system, with a distribution 
of points to tbe ten high guns, were won by Prof. Lewis 
D. Hill, who made a full score with his handicap of 5 
targets, and the aid of Dr. Currie’s new gun. The stand¬ 
ing to date of the highest total points won on the presi¬ 
dent’s trophy is as follows: Prof. Hill 26.5, Dr. Held 
25 5, Dr. Barnard 23.5, M. R. Guggenheim 21.5, G. L. 
Vates 21, Z. C. Offutt 20, G. A. Wylie 19, W. Thorpe 
17.S, Dr. Currie 17.5, and J. G. Wintjen 16.3. One of the 
above will be the winner on Washington’s Birthday, on 
which date the seventh and final competition will be 
held. . 
No one qualified for a leg on the captain s trophy, 
which is a miss-and-out affair, requiring 10 straight tar¬ 
gets, although G. A. Wylie broke 7 and L. G. Bond 6. 
M. R. Guggenheim was high gun in the Dupont trophy 
with (S) 24. The high scores to date are: H. J. Smith 
65, Dr. Currie 65, G. A. Wylie 63, G. L. Yates 63, M. 
R Guggenheim 63, Dr. Barnard 63, W. M. Wylie 62, 
Prof. Hill 62. 
J. P. Donovan with (4) 23 and H. J. Smith with (5) 
25 walked away with first and second take-home trophies. 
The two jack rabbits were won respectively by E. L. 
Haas with 21 and Dr. Barnard with 19. Scores:

RIFLE NOTES. 
National Rifle Association Notes. 
Washington, D. C., Feb. 10.—At a recent meeting 
of the executive committee, the program of the inter¬ 
national matches and also of the N. R. A. matches were 
completed. The changes in the N. R. A. program were: 
Putting the individual military championship of the 
United States in the President’s match alone, and mak¬ 
ing that match of more importance by increasing the 
number of shots at 1000yds., to 15 shots, and shooting the 
600yd. score on target B, with a counting bull of 16in. 
in diameter. This new target, which has just been 
adopted by tbe N. R. A., will be used in several of its 
matches. The life and annual members’ match was 
consolidated into one match, to be known as the In¬ 
dividual IMembers’ match. The long-range Tyro match 
was abolished, owing to the fact that there is now a 
tyro class in all of the matches. 
A new match was added for civilian rifle clubs, 
teams of four men, shooting 20 shots at 500yds. This is 
the second time that the N. R. A. has put a match in 
its program for civilian rifle clubs. It was withdrawn 
before on account of lack of patronage. The match will 
not be shot unless there are more than four entries. 
The prograni of the joint tuournament will be ready 
for distribution in about three weeks, and copies will be 
sent to all individual members of the N. R. A., as well 
as the officers of affiliated organizations. The year book 
for 1912 has been delayed on account of the preparations 
for the international shoot. The same will not be ready 
for issue under two months. This book will be sent 
free to all individual members and officers of affiliated 
organizations. 
The executive committee decided to take on once 
again the international small-bore match with England, 
Canada and Australia, and the secretary was authorized 
to proceed with the organization of a team to represent 
the United States. This team will be selected from 
those members of rifle teams who are now competing in 
the Interclub League matches.
