July ii, 1908.] 
by the George Washington University team. There was 
no contest for the trophy in 1907. 
Several of the universities in the West have within the 
last year organized rifle clubs and affiliated with the Na¬ 
tional Rifle Association, so that it is probable that by 
another year new clubs will compete in the inter¬ 
collegiate match which may result in the trophy going 
to the West, for the first time since it was established. 
With the National matches at Camp Perry, Ohio, but 
one month and a half distant, military marksmen 
throughout the country are daily practicing on the 
ranges in competition for places on the teams which 
are entitled to participate in this great military tourna¬ 
ment. If reports received here can be taken as a 
criterion, the scores this year will be in excess of those 
at previous matches. From almost every range the 
news comes that great numbers have qualified as 
marksmen, and that the scores are almost perfect. One 
of the most remarkable scores is that of Capt. Stewart 
A. Wise, ordnance officer of the 6th Regiment, Massa¬ 
chusetts National Guard, who made seventy consecutive 
bullseyes at the Bay State Range. At 600yds. he scored 
51 bullseyes, and 10 at 1000yds. and 9 at 800yds., all in 
succession. His tenth shot at this last range struck on 
the ground in front of the target and the miss was laid 
at the door of “poor ammunition.” 
Much enthusiasm over rifle practice is being evidenced 
in the _ State of Pennsylvania, the National Guard 
authorities there placing this feature above all other 
work. Many of the company captains have offered 
trophies and cash prizes for excellence in rifle practice 
this season, with a view of stimulating and keeping up 
the interest.

Because it combines guaranteed shooting ability with the sim¬

shoots harder than any other repeating gun. 
The Z?ar//n solid top prevents powder and gases blowing 
back; the side ejection of shells allows instant repeat shots. The 
closed-in breechbolt keeps out rain, snow and sleet, and the dirt, 
leaves, twigs and sand that clog up other repeaters. 
The double extractors pull any shell, two special safety 
devices prevent the explosion of a cartridge while action is un¬ 
locked. and the automatic recoil lock removes all danger from 
hang-fires, making it the safest breech-loading gun built.
