N. R. A. 
Washington, D. C., Oct. 20.—So many inquiries are 
coming in to this office in regard to our plans for the 
Indoor League matches for 1912, that this circular letter 
is issued somewhat earlier than was intended. 
From present indications, the number of clubs that 
will take part in the 1912 matches will be much larger 
than ever before, and it will require more time to pre¬ 
pare for them. It may also be necessary to organize 
another league, as more than twelve teams in a league 
is undesirable. 
To make a success of the coming matches, we must 
have the co-operation of our clubs and as little delay 
as possible in deciding about entering a team. 
At the close of the 1911 series of matches an effort was 
made to ascertain if any changes in the conditions for 
future matches were desirable, with the result that only 
a few suggestions were made, a few clubs wanted tele¬ 
scopes, and a few others a strictly military rifle. It 
seems therefore that we have the happy medium in our 
present conditions, and no changes will be made, with 
the exception that the club officers will send in the 
telegraphic and mail reports instead of the N. R. A. 
judge. We will not accept an entry from a club that 
will not bind itself to telegraph in at their expense their 
score at the close of the match and mail the same night 
or in the morning the detailed scores. The latter will 
act as a check upon the former. All the good that we 
can get from publicity from these matches is lost if we 
do not get the weekly reports in time to give the press 
associations before the news is stale. 
We will not ask for the return of the targets used in 
the match unless the competing teams are within ten 
points or less of each other. The matches will pro- 
ably_ begin the week ending Dec. 25. No entry will be 
received unless accompanied by the entrance fee of $5. 
It would assist this office in securing a representative 
to act as judge if one or more eligible parties would 
be recommended to us by the club. 
Entries for the matches will close Nov. 25. The con¬ 
ditions will be: Team, Any number of men up to ten 
may shoot, the best five scores counting for the team 
score. Distance, 75ft. Number of shots, 20 each man, 
four targets to be used, 5 shots on each target. Tar¬ 
get, the N. R. A. gallery target, 1 to 10 count. Position, 
prone. Rifle, any .22cal. rifle weighing not over lOlbs. 
Ammunition, any. Sights, any, in front of the firing 
pin and not containing glass. Trigger pull, not less 
than 31bs. Time allowance, 5 minutes will be allowed 
for each string of 5 shots. Preliminary practice, no 
member of the team to fire more than five shots pre¬ 
liminary to firing his score in the match on the night of 
the contest. Judges—All matches will be shot under 
the supervision of a judge appointed by the N. R. A., 
who will not be a member of the club. Prizes—The 
winning teams of each league will contest among them¬ 
selves for the championship, the winning team receiving 
the championship trophy and silver medals; the members 
of the losing teams will receive silver medals and the 
members of the second team in each league will receive 
bronze medals. Entrance fee, $5 for each team. 
The National Rifle Association will furnish the targets 
for the matches. Similar targets may be purchased 
from the N. R. A. at a cost of $2.50 per 1000.

weather conditions, the attendance was not very large.

a score of 66 on the German ring target. H. L. Reeves 
had a very high run of scores with the pistol.

1 he Forest and Stream may be obtained from any 
newsdealer on order. Ask your dealer to supply you 
regularly. 
I Want Some of 
THE BLACK SHELLS 
Say that to your dealer, and you will be 
started on the way to better shooting than you 
have ever had. There are several important 
reasons why the new BLACK SHELLS 
are better. 
Our NON-MERCURIC PRIMER is 
unvarying, sure, and quick. The FLASH 
PASSAGE (the hole in base of shell through 
which the fire from primer passes into the 
charge) is 100% larger than ordinary. That 
means there’s not a chance of a fraction of a 
second’s delay. Every shooter will appreciate 
the value of a shell that never hangs fire for 
even a tenth part of a second. 
THE BLACK SHELLS are absolutely 
waterproof. No swelling and sticking in the 
chamber because of fog, rain, or even a ducking. 
There are three classes of BLACK SHELLS, 
all with the standard loads: 
ROMAX, a black powder shell with 5/16 inch brass. 
CLIMAX, the most popular smokeless (both dense 
and bulk) shell made. Has one-half inch brass. 
AJAX is the highest grade smokeless powder (both 
dense and bulk) shell made. It has a long one inch 
brass. 
Send for book about shells. If you enclose 10c we 
will send a beautiful, colored poster, 20x 30 inches, 
called “October Days.” Sure to please every shooter.

Norris—Erasmus Hall. 
While the total scores in the Morris-Erasmus shoot 
cn Saturday last do not indicate a close match, there 
was considerable good shooting done in the first of the 
series of matches for the championship of the public 
schools in Greater New York. The first two men up, 
Fogg for Morris and Wilson for Erasmus, shot a tie 
at 33. 
Hoffman and Mullen each shot 30, while every other 
man on Erasmus was outshot by his opponent. 
Kescori, of Morris, beat his man by ten points, and 
made high score for the meet.
