A club may enter iri any contest any number of men 
from five to ten, and pick the best five scores to count. 
Either pistol or revolver may be used. 
The contestants at the finish will be divided into 
groups of four, according to the number of matches won, 
and silver and bronze medals awarded to the winners of 
first and second place in each group. A club must main¬ 
tain its relative position or progress to win a prize; 
that is, no club this year can win a prize in a lower 
class than that in which it finished last year. 
The following clubs were winners of first place in their 
respective classes for the season of 1910-11: A—'Smith 
and Wesson. B—Newark. C—Providence. D—Duluth. 
E—Oakland Bank of Savings. F—Columbus. 
The following cities have entered clubs for the season 
of 1911-12: Philadelphia, San Francisco, Providence, 
Belleville, St. Louis, Chicago, Youngstown, Pittsburgh, 
Columbus (Ohio), Spokane, Sault Ste. Marie, Manhattan, 
Boston (2), Portland (Ore.), Rochester, Springfield, 
Washington, D. C., Oakland, Emeryville, Cal., Balti¬ 
more, Portland (Me.), Los Angeles, Seattle. 
National Guard Riflemen. 
In spite of the inconvenience caused by the delay in 
completion of the new State range at Blauvelt, and the 
unsatisfactory condition of the part that is completed, 
.National Guard marksmen have made greater progress 
this year than ever before. This year’s figures show 
10,372 marksmen; 99 more than in 1910. This is a higher 
record than that of any other National Guard in the 
United States. The aggregate figures, 10,372, is for those 
of the 15,500 officers, and men comprising the troops of 
the State, who have qualified as marksmen in the numer¬ 
ous grades. Of these, 331 are distinguished experts; 
10S7 experts; 785 sharpshooters; 8169 marksmen. Troy 
(Second Regiment, Col. L. L. Davis) leads the list with 
41 distinguished experts; 210 experts, 136 sharpshooters 
and 483 marksmen. The Forty-seventh Regiment of 
Brooklyn makes the worst showing, having qualified 
only 308 officers and men out of some 700 on the roll. 
The Twelfth Regiment of Manhattan, once among the 
strongest shooting regiments, is in last place in the 
First Brigade. 
The Seventh Regiment of Manhattan makes the best 
showing in the First Brigade, and the Twenty-third Regi¬ 
ment of Brooklyn the best showing in the Second 
Brigade. The Thirteenth Regiment of Brooklyn leads the 
Coast Artillery regiments. The following are the official 
figures of all the troops in detail, just compiled by Col. 
Nathaniel B. Thurston, Chief Ordnance Officer 
of the 
State.
