National Board for Promotion of 
Rifle Practice. 
Washington, D. C., May 8.—Unusual arrangements 
have been perfected for instructing the ten thousand 
members of the U. S. Marine Corps in the art of 
handling the new Springfield rifle, which is now the 
standing military arm of the United States. It is safe 
to say that when the work now in progress is finally 
completed, the Marine Corps will rank with the best 
shooting organizations in the world, and will probably 
have more expert shots in proportion to its numbers 
than any other corps in the world. A camp of instruc¬ 
tion has been established on the New Jersey range, at 
Sea Girt, which was placed at the disposal of the Marine 
Corps through the courtesy of General Bird W. Spencer, 
Inspector of Rifle Practice of that State. Capt. William 
C. Harllee, U. S. M. C., will be in charge of the camp, 
assisted by the following Marine Corps officers: Capt. 
D. C. McDougal and First Lieutenants C. B. Matthews, 
W. D. Smith, Merriam, Wirgman, Coyle and Torry. 
Capt. Harllee was captain of the Marine Corps team at 
Camp Perry last year, which took fourth place in the 
match in which fifty State and regular service teams 
competed. He will also be captain of the Marine Corps 
team in the national match, to be shot at Camp Perry 
in August of this year. 
Capt. Harllee has assembled at Sea Girt a number of 
selected enlisted men of the Marine Corps, who will 
be there practically all summer in attendance on a school 
dealing with the rifle. The Marine Corps is now armed 
with the Krag, and it is desired that before placing the 
new Springfield in the hands of the Marine Corps the 
men should be instructed as to the proper use and care 
of the new weapon, especially in regard to metal fouling. 
The camp has been laid out to accommodate two hundred 
men and their officers, and in addition to those attending 
the school detachments of fifty men each will be ordered 
from the Brooklyn and Philadelphia navy yards, and 
from various vessels at New York and Brooklyn to Sea 
Girt for practice. The camp will be completely equipped 
with all appliances in use for such practice, and tests 
will -be made of a number of new devices in connection 
with military rifles. Prominent among these will be the 
Maxim gun-silencer, which will be employed between 
the gallery practice and the range practice. 
The special class will be instructed in the use of the 
Colt automatic revolver, will be taught how to select and 
calibrate rifles, to take down and assemble rifles and 
instructed in all that pertains to their care and use. Ex¬ 
haustive tests will be made with different range devices, 
including what are known as the angle of fire controllers, 
invented by Ordnance Officers Ely and Philips. As is 
well known, in the excitement of battle, soldiers are 
prone to discharge their weapons at almost any angle, 
the bullets frequently passing over the heads of the op¬ 
posing force, or to strike the ground at some distance 
in front. The angle of fire controller, of which two will 
be tested, is designed to overcome this by locking the 
piece so that it cannot be discharged except when 
pointed at a certain angle. 
Invitations will be issued to expert riflemen .such as 
Capt. K. V. Casey, Lieut.-Col. Y^m. A. Tewes, Dr. W. 
G. Hudson, Capt. H. \V. McBride, Mai. C. B. Winder 
and other crack militarv rifle shots and theoretical ex¬ 
perts on rifles, ammunition and targets, to deliver lec¬ 
tures to the school during the summer. A detachment 
will leave the camp early in August for Camp Perry, O., 
to participate in the _ (Thio State Rifle Association 
matches. On the individual showing made in these 
matches the Mari;ie Corps team for the great national 
match will be selected. After the national team match, 
individual match and pistol match, the Marine Corps 
tearn will remain at Camp Perry for the matches of the 
National Rifle Association, after which it will return to 
Sea Girt for the matches of the New Jersey, New York 
and Penn,sylvania Rifle associations. 
At the conclusion of the season the men will be dis¬ 
tributed to the various ships and stations of the Marine 
Corps, and it is expected that everv enlisted man who is 
in attendance on the school will be qualified to act as 
an expert instructor for the men at the post to which he 
will be assigned, in addition to which some two thousand 
or more marines from the eastern ships and stations will 
have been given a course of instruction, though not so 
extensive. 
It is expected that the magnificent Marine Corps trophy 
will be ready for exhibition bv June 15. This is a solij 
silver cup. costing more than $1500, which was subscribed 
bv the officers of the Marine Corps and presented to the 
National Rifle Association for individual competition of 
20 shots at 600 and 1000 yards with any military rifle, any 
military sight and any ammunition, the contestant shoot¬ 
ing in any position he may prefer. This cup will be 
shot for at Camp Perry for the first tune.
