Harrisburg Sportsmen’s Association. 
Harrisburg, Pa.—The dedication of the new club 
house and grounds of the Harrisburg Sportsmen’s Asso¬ 
ciation, Aug. 20 and 21, had a programme of twelve 
events each day. There was one event at 10, seven at 15, 
and three at 20 targets; entrance, $1.00, $1.30 and $1.60, 
and one event, the twelfth, at 15 singles and 5 pairs, 
$2 entrance. There was a purse of $50 divided $10, $9, 
$7, $6 and $5 among the high gun amateurs, and $8 and 
$5 to the two low amateurs. There was a high wind, 
which adversely affected the scores. 
The shooting of Miss Rieker was one of the interest¬ 
ing features. 
The shooters from out of the city were loud in their 
praises of the new grounds and club house. It gives to 
central Pennsylvania an ideal place for important shoot¬ 
ing contests and many of the important State events 
will now take place in Harrisburg.

At Sea Girt. 
Sea Girt Range, N. J., Aug. 22.—Of scarcely less im¬ 
portance to the military world than the great national 
matches now in progress at Camp Perry, O., are those 
which will take place at Sea Girt, N. J., from Sept. 4 
to 12, inclusive. The beautiful Sea Girt range has al¬ 
ways been a Mecca for ambitious marksmen, and this 
year a program has been arranged which for richness 
and attractiveness compares very favorably with any 
ever shot. During the eighteen years of its existence 
the New Jersey State Rifle Association has accumulated 
a number of cups and trophies and its strong financial 
backing enables it to give the largest number of cash 
prizes offered by any State association. Its tournament 
wili be this year, as for many years past, under the per¬ 
sonal supervision of General Bird W. Spencer, so long 
president of the National Rifle Association, who will be 
executive officer of the meeting. In addition to the 
New Jersey matches, those of the New York State Rifle 
Association and the United States Revolver Association
