National Board for Promotion of 
Rifle Practice. 
Washington, D. C., March 27.—Arrangements have 
been completed under which the rifle shooting tourna¬ 
ment, which will be held at Camp Perry,' Ohio, next 
August, will be the greatest shooting event which this, 
country has ever seen. The completed programme in¬ 
cludes the matches of the National Guard of Ohio, the 
Ohio State Rifle Association, and the Department of 
the Lakes Rifle Association, to be held prior to Aug. 20. 
Aug. 20 anid 21 will be set aside for practice for the 
great national matches, which are conducted under the 
auspices of the War Department and the National Board 
for Promotion of Rifle Practice. The national team 
match, in which it is expected there will be more than 
fifty teams representing States, Territories and the regular 
services, will begin on| Monday, Aug. 22, and will be 
followed by the National individual rifle match and the 
national pistol match. The tournament will conclude 
with the matches of the National Rifle Association, 
which will immediately follow the national match and 
which will continue for from six to ten days. The whole 
programme will cover about three weeks’ solid shoot¬ 
ing. This will be the occasion of the first meeting of the 
Department of the Lakes Rifle Association, for which 
matches several valuable trophies and prizes have been 
secured. The Ohio State Rifle Association has raised 
more than $4,000 for cash prizes in its matches. Con¬ 
gress has appropriated an additional $4,000 for the use 
of the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Prac¬ 
tice, the bulk of which will be utilized in increasing the 
prizes in the national match. It is estimated that next 
August the prize list will be greater by $7,000 than that 
of any preceding national meeting. 
Among the interesting features of the new arrange¬ 
ments is the action taken by the National Rifle Associa¬ 
tion. Heretofore its matches have been conducted by the 
State Association where the matches were held, and the 
N. R. A. received 20 per cent, of the gross receipts. 
This year the N. R. A. will conduct its own matches and 
will pay back in the form of prizes all money received 
from entrance fees, with the exception of the necessary 
expense of operating the range, which will be verj' small, 
as the War Department will supply regular troops for 
marking and scoring, the same as it does for the National 
Board matches. 
A number of new matches will be added to the Na¬ 
tional Rifle Association list. The most important will be 
that for the Marine Corps trophy, presented by the of¬ 
ficers of the United States Marine Corps. This will be 
a squadded individual! match, open to everybody, with 
any military rifle, any military sight, any ammunition and 
any position. There will be 20 shots for records at 
600yds. and 20 shots at 1000yds., with two sighting shots 
at each range. 
Another new match is one for annual members of the 
National Rifle Association, such membership having been 
provided for at the last meeting of the board of direct¬ 
ors, and there will also be a new individual match for 
rapid fire. The conditions of the revolver team match 
have been changed so that any organization in the 
regular or volunteer service, armed with the pistol, and 
whose unit is not larger than a squadron or battalion 
can enter the match, and regiments may enter teams 
composed of commissioned and non-commissioned of¬ 
ficers. The interclub matchi has been restricted to en¬ 
tries from civilian clubs and military companies which 
are members of the National Rifle Association. Members 
of State teams are barred. 
To render the national press rifle match more attrac¬ 
tive to the profession, members and alternates of State 
teams will be barred from participation. This match was 
established for the benefit of working newspaper men 
who take an interest in rifle shooting, but who have not 
the advantages of practice and ammunition incidental to 
membership on State teams. The permanent press 
trophy is a magnificent silver loving cup, and there are 
a number of other prizes, including life membership in 
the National Rifle Association and cash. 
Col. John Jacob Astor, of New York, a life member 
of the National Rifle Association, has given the Asso¬ 
ciation a trophy for the interscholastic indoor cham¬ 
pionship match, which will be shot on the galleries of 
the various schoolboy clubs in April. The match will 
be confined to schools not giving a degree, except that 
permission has been given to the Central High School 
of Philadelphia to enter a team. This school is author¬ 
ized to give degrees by a special act of the Pennsyl¬ 
vania Legislature, and is the only public high school in 
the country which does so. It is expected that between 
twenty and thirty schools will enter teams for this match. 
The Astor trophy will cost $500 and will remain in com¬ 
petition for twenty years, at the end of which time it 
will go as a permanent trophy to the school which shall 
have won it the greatest number of times. It is ex¬ 
pected that it will be later accompanied by an endowment 
fund of $1,000, to furnish the medals for the match. 
Through the courtesy of the State of New Jersey, the 
intercollegiate outdoor championship rifle matches will 
be held on the famous Sea Girt range some time in 
June. This contest is for teams of six, the prize being 
a magnificent trophy in the form of a shield. It was 
won in 1905 by Princeton University, and in 1906 and 
1908 by George Washington University. There was no 
contest in 1907. In 1908 it was shot on the Massachusetts 
range at Wakefield, among the competing teams being 
those from! Harvard University, University of Pennsyl¬ 
vania, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. 
It is expected there will be at least ten entries in the 
match in June.
