Missouri State Rifle Association. 
On the First Infantry range, opposite St. Charles, Mo., 
June 2, 3 and 4, will be held the second combination 
tournament of the Missouri State Rifle Association. 
t '°h h Spencer is the president of the Association, 
a rr S' ■ Crossman, secretary, and it is through the 
efforts of these two enthusiasts that St. Louis expects 
soon to witness a unique and successful assemblage 
of gun users. Camp Perry, the scene of the yearly meet¬ 
ing of Government and State troops in annual practice, 
does not present the varied inducements offered by the 
promoters of the coming meet. On the St. Charles 
spacious range, furnished by the commonwealth for the 
use of its _ citizen soldiery, will be held simultaneously 
matches with the shotgun, rifle and revolver. These con¬ 
tests of skill are aided and encouraged by a liberal allot¬ 
ment of prizes in money and trophies, that make an 
attractive magnet for the users of small arms the coun¬ 
try over. 
Experts who had the pleasure of visiting the St. 
Charles range on the occasion of the first annual shoot, 
field last summer, expressed astonishment at the arrange¬ 
ments provided for carrying forward the diversified pro¬ 
gram. bully a thousand men may at the same time be 
engaged at practice on the rifle, revolver and shotgun 
ranges, all within sight of the spectator, yet in no wav 
interfering with each other. 
The grounds are ideal for the purposes used, and at 
tfie same time they are within easy access of both steam 
and traction cars, which connect direct with local car 
lines. Ample provision is made for the care of partici¬ 
pants and spectators, good and substantial meals will be 
furnished, and those attending are assured of excellent 
accommodations in every way. 
The event will have the sanction and approval of 
? f “ cers > and general orders will be issued giving 
authority to all officers and enlisted men to attend the 
second annual shoot of the Missouri State Rifle Asso- 
ciation and the State rate of one cent a mile will be 
available for this purpose. Subsistence can be had on 
the grounds at the rate of 30 cents per meal, unless con- 
P fe [ er to Provide their own meals. Tentage 
and bed sacks will be furnished by the First Regiment, 
but cots and blankets must be brought. Interest in 
this competition is so general that it is expected a large

the way of trophies has been very liberal and several
