Bishopville Gun Club. 
Selbyville. Del. — I have been instructed to tell you 
of a shoot that we did not intend to have until after 
strawberry time, but the Bishopville Gun Club of Mary¬ 
land, is going to hold a shoot on Easter Monday, April 
12 — and a big one it will be, for this section of the 
country. We shoot for the fun of shooting; no money 
or moonshine either. We never go a cent on anything 
but a horse trot; then most of us go broke for a month. 
Can’t help it. But we are a little sweet on a trot. 
That Wilmington bunch is coming. We are a little 
scared over it. That Foord, German and Richardson 
have us scared, and . you know, Mr. Editor, when one 
is scared, he is easy to beat. 
Our old sport, Ed. Harrington, from Franklin City, 
\'a., says he will bring up the baggagecar full of shoot¬ 
ers, and if they can’t pay their fare he will take them as 
freight. So we are expecting a big crowd from Ocean 
City, Md., Berlin. Md., and many other towns. 
Mr. Editor, we are going to have a 50-bird race at this 
shoot that will be worth coming a good: ways to see. 
Between the winner of our first shoot and the winner 
of our last shoot, Sie Hopkins and George Hudson, Sie 
seemed to be a little sore forward over Hudson beating 
him at the last shoot. Sie bets a sow and six pigs 
againsfone of Hudson’s celebrated Llewellyn bird pup¬ 
pies that Sie will go under the wire ahead; but I am of 
the opinion that if Hudson can stay on his feet he has 
him distanced bad. C. W. Floyd. 
Mr. Barren’s Resignation. 
New York, March 31.-—The writer begs to announce 
his resignation from the M. Hartley Company, with 
which he has been connected for the past ten years, most 
of the time as advertising manager, having charge of the 
shooting representatives. 
Dir. H. E. Sands will have charge of our advertising 
and Mr. A. F. Hebard will control the shooting repre¬ 
sentatives. 
The writer, after April 1, will be connected with the 
advertising department of the Butterick Publishing 
Company, Butterick Building, New York. 
He wishes to thank you for the several courtesies you 
have extended in the past, and to wish your paper all 
success in the promotion of the shooting game and in 
the advancement of game protection.

National Board for Promotion of 
Rifle Practice. 
W'ashington, D. C.. April 3. — Official anouncement is 
made of the programme for the National rifle matches 
under the auspices of the National Board for Promotion 
of Rifle Practice and those of the National Rifle Asso¬ 
ciation of America, which will be held on the Ohio State 
range at Camp Perry, Ohio, in August next. The 
preparations for these matches are of a more elaborate 
scale than ever before, and it is believed that the attend¬ 
ance will exceed that of any previous match. Lieut-Col, 
R. K. Evans, of the U. S, Cavalry, who is on duty with 
the general staff, and who has been executive officer of 
the national matches for the past two years, has been 
detailed by the War Department for this duty in con¬ 
nection with the coming national matches, and this year 
will also act as executive officer for the National Rifle 
Association matches. He will have an enlarged personal 
staff and approximately one hundred regular officers of 
the army will be assigned to duty in connection with the 
match. About one thousand enlisted men will be on duty 
at the range. It is expected that at least fifty teams 
representing the States and Territories, the Infantry, 
Calvary^ Navy and Marine Corps, and the Naval Acad¬ 
emy, will be entered in the national match. Each team 
is entitled to twelve shooting members and three alter¬ 
nates, an aggregate of nine hundred. They are also en¬ 
titled to three officers and are usually accompanied by 
more. In addition there will be a large attendance of 
unattached members of the National Guard and civil¬ 
ians who will participate in the individual matches, as 
well as teams from regiments, companies and rifle and 
revolver clubs drawn to the range by the matches above 
mentioned and those of the Ohio State Rifle Association 
and Department of the Lakes Rifle Association and of 
the Ohio National Guard which will immediately pre¬ 
cede the national team match. Congress has appropriated 
$12,000 for messing the competitors in the national team 
match, which will be done in the magnificent new con¬ 
crete mess hall erected by the State of Ohio, in which 
one thousand' men can be fed at one sitting. Congress 
has also very materially increased the amount of money 
for prizes in the national team match, the national in¬ 
dividual match and the national pistol match. The 
National Rifle Association has adopted the policy of re¬ 
turning to the competitors the entire ^ amount of the 
entrance fees less the actual expenses either in form of 
medals, or cash prizes. The Ohio State Rifle Associa¬ 
tion will have a prize list far in excess of previous years 
and there will be the new matches of the Department of
