Sunbury-Selinsgrove Gun Club. 
The regular weekly shoot had a very slim attendance. 
No doubt most of the boys are making up the time lost 
last week. Foster was high gun for the day, winning his 
third leg on the Hunter Arms trophy. The final scores 
on the Dupont trophy were shot last week. D. A. 
Herrold was the winner with a total score of 470 out of 
500 shot at during the series, topping out his nearest 
competitor by 3 targets. The following are the scores 
shot to-day:

Rhymestin was trying out a new gun, and from the 
way he started with it, his scores will show a decided 
improvement when he gets more used to it. 
We are planning a shoot for Labor Day. We had a 
number of merchandise prizes left over from the tourna¬ 
ment, and will shoot them off that day.

'Rifle Range and Gallery . 
National Board for Promotion of 
Rifle Practice. 
Camp Perry Range, Ohio, Aug. 21.—On Monday 
the greatest national rifle matches this country has ever 
seen will be in full swing. All week teams and indi¬ 
vidual riflemen have been pouring into Camp Perry 
from all directions, and the range outside of the firing 
lines is dotted with their camps. Friday the range was 
turned over to Lieut.-Col. R. K. Evans, U. S. A., who 
took command as executive officer of the matches. He 
has nearly 100 regular army officers and 1,000 men under 
him who will have charge of all firing, marking and 
scoring and compilation of statistics during the matches. 
It is expected that forty-eight to fifty teams will line up 
Monday morning for the national team match, for which 
Congress provides the trophy and the cash prizes. 
Each team is composed of twelve men with three alter¬ 
nates and a complement of officers. The shooting is at 
200yds. slow fire, 600yds., 800yds., 100yds., 200yds. rapid 
fire and a skirmish run, and it is expected that this 
match will occupy all of Monday and Tuesday. The 
teams present represent the United States Infantry and 
Cavalry, Navy and Marine Corps and Naval Academy, 
and the National Guard of the various States and Terri¬ 
tories. They are divided into three classes on the basis 
of their standing in the , match last year, as follows: 
Class A—United States Infantry, United States Navy, 
United States Cavalry, United States Marine Corps, 
Wisconsin, Massachusetts, United States Naval Academy, 
Pennsylvania, District of Columbia, Washington, Illinois, 
Iowa, Oregon, Maine and Ohio. Class B—Oklahoma, 
New Hampshire, Colorado, California, New York, Mary¬ 
land, New Jersey, Minnesota, Kansas, Missouri, Hawaii, 
Indiana, Michigan, West Virginia and Kentucky. Class 
C—Wyoming, Connecticut, Georgia, Rhode Island, 
Arizona, Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, Nebraska. 
Delaware, North Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, 
Arkansas, New Mexico, Utah, Mississippi, Louisiana and 
North Carolina. 
For Class A the first prize is the national trophy given 
by Congress with $450 cash; second prize, $350; third, 
$300; fourth, $250. For Class B the first prize is the 
famous Hilton trophy, with $350 cash; second, $250; 
third, $225, and fourth, $200. Class C has the soldier 
of Marathon for its trophy and $200 cash, with additional 
prizes of $200, $175, and $150. Each member of a team 
winning a trophy wil receive an appropriate medal. No 
team is eligible to win a prize in the class below It, 
but can win the prize in any class above it. If a team 
in Class B or C makes a score entitling it to a prize 
in a higher class it must take that prize. The classifi¬ 
cation for 1910 will depend on the results in this match. 
Wednesday the national individual match will be shot 
with probably 600 entries. There are thirty-nine medals 
in this match each accompanied by a cash prize, and 
there is no entry fee, as • Congress furnished the prize 
money. . 
The national revolver match will he shot immediately 
after the national individual rifle match. It carries seven 
gold medals, four silver medals and twelve bronze medals 
with twenty-three cash prizes. 
Camp Perry, Ohio, Aug. 25.—The matches of the 
National Rifle Asociation of America will begin on 
this range to-day or to-morrow, depending on the time 
when the national matches are concluded. Lieut.-Col. 
R. K. Evans, U. S. A., who has been executive officer 
of the national matches, will continue in that capacity 
during the National Rifle Association matches which 
will continue until the programme is completed. The 
necessary complement of army officers and enlisted 
troops to man the range will remain during the matches. 
While a number of the State teams will leave to¬ 
morrow and thereafter, still a large number will re¬ 
main and the entry lists promise to be larger than 
ever. The National Rifle Association will this year put 
into effect the percentage plan for prizes, and all money 
paid in entrance fees will be returned to the winners 
after deducting the actual expense of operating the 
range. As this will be very small, owing to the em¬ 
ployment of troops for that purpose, the purses will be 
considerably larger and the number of prizes greater 
than ever before. As it was uncertain when the 
national matches will close, dates could not be set for 
the National Rifle Association matches, but they will 
open with the press match this afternoon or to morrow. 
The first prize is the solid silver “press cup” for 
annual competition with a small replica to the winner; 
second, a-life membership in the National Rifle Associ¬ 
ation valued at $25; with a third, fourth and fifth cash 
prize. The press match will be followed by the cham¬ 
pionship revolver team match, State secretaries match, 
life and annual members match, inter-club champion¬ 
ship company team, championship regimental, team 
Leech cup, Wimbledon cup, individual long range tyro, 
marine corps, President’s and the Evans service skirmish 
matches. During the tournament the national marks¬ 
man’s match will be in continuous progress, as well as 
the junior marksman’s match. Competitors making the 
necessary score in these matches will be enrolled in the 
national marksman’s reserve, at the War Department. 
The Leech cup, Wimbledon cup, long range marine 
corps tyro, and the President’s match will attract the 
most attention of the individual matches. The first 
two have been contested for so often to be historic. 
The Leech cup is shot at 809, 900 and 1000yds., and the 
Wimbledon with 20 shots at 1000yds. Capt. K. K. V. 
Casey, of Delaware, carried off both of them last year. 
The winner of the President’s match will receive a 
personal letter of congratulation from President William 
H. Taft, and the man making the highest average in 
the President’s and the national individual match will 
receive the title of military champion of the United 
States. 
The marine corps match is a new one for which the 
officers of the United States Marine Corps have supplied 
a $1,500 trophy. The conditions call for 20 shots at 
600 and 1000yds. 
The National Rifle Association matches will close with 
the Evans service skirmish match, named after Lieut.- 
Col. R. K. Evans, U. S. A., who drew up the con¬ 
ditions and presented the trophy. It is for teams con¬ 
sisting of a captain and two squads of one corporal 
and seven men each. Forty rounds of ammunition will 
be furnished each man. The start will be made be¬ 
yond the 1200yds. line and firing will be at direction 
of the team captain. For every wrong command given 
by a captain one man on his team will be dropped, 
and for every hit on a target the opposing team will 
lose a man and his remaining ammunition. The run 
will be continued until each team has exhausted its 
ammunition or one team has lost all its men. In the 
former case the team losing the lesser number wins that 
run. The match will be decided by continued compe¬ 
tition between the winners of the various runs. 
Friday evening the National Rifle Association will 
hold its annual meeting at the club house of the Ohio 
State Rifle Association. Twelve directors will be 
elected for a period of three years, and other business 
pertaining to the association will be considered.
