Fds of visitors from the nearby Jersey resorts are on 
3 range cheering the riflemen to do their best. On 
'inday the week will open with the contest for the 
; ,iss trophy at 500yds. This is the easiest of the 
i.ger ranees, but the conditions require that a com- 
ptor shall cease firing as soon as he gets out of the 
(1. As many as thirty bullseyes have been made in 
:ctice frequently, but never in a contest. The Hale 
stch at 600vds., New Jersey officers’ and inspectors’
