And what is worse, we have decided to shoot in the 
U. S. R. A. pistol match this year. Our only hope is 
that some of this excitement will stir up some of the 
fellows who have dragged along, shooting only occasion¬ 
ally, or way down where they ought to be ashamed of 
themselves. 
Saturday’s scores were as follows: 
Revolver, 50yds., standard: Miller 84, 79, 83, 84, 90; 
Gardiner 79, 84; Brow 69, 70, 70, 80; Joslin 73, 75, 71, 
84, 83; Coulters 71, 78, Willard 92, 83, 85; Argus 80, 83; 
Parkhurst SO, 82, 80, 80, 80. 
Creedmoor, target, 50yds.: Argus (.45 automatic army 
model), 45, 45. 
Standard target, 20yds., .22 pistols: Gardiner 81, 82; 
Willard 83, 82, 80, 81, 84, 83, 83, 83; Freeman 89, 92, 90, 
86, 91, 85, 93, 91, 89, 88. 
Rifle, 25yds., military target, Krags, reduced loads: 
Parkhurst 46, 43, 39, 38; Argus 38; Joslin 42, 43; Miller 
44, 43. 
With his first entry in the indoor pistol championship 
match of the U. S. Revolver Association, tying the win¬ 
ning score of 1907, our Mr. Walter H. Freeman, who 
shot his match targets at the gallery on the 20th, stands 
a good show to be among the top-notchers when the re¬ 
turns are in from the various cities where this competi¬ 
tion was held last .week. 
The conditions were 50 consecutive shots at 20yds., 
Standard American target, artificial light, time limit one 
hour, any .22 pistol, U. S. R. A. rules to govern. The 
scores were: 
W II Freeman . 91 94 89 92 89-455 
Three men entered the State championship, one with¬ 
drew on hard luck, leaving Miller and Gardiner to fight 
it out, which they did in an interesting manner, being 
tied for total, and the match going to Lieut. Miller 
on the U. S. R. A. ruling of the score having the least 
number of low shots. 
Lieut H C Miller. 83 81 75 72 73—384 
W B Gardiner. 78 85 69 72 80—384 
When civilians go up against military rifle shots they 
expect to get “trimmed,” and our expectations were 
fully met in the shoot against the cracks of Massachu¬ 
setts. However, our team bunched well, and in the next 
shoot we hope to improve. 
The next match will be in the sitting position. Until 
last Saturday night not a man of us had ever fired a shot 
in the gallery under these conditions, and it would have 
amused our Wakefield friends could they have witnessed 
the twisting and squirming on the boards and heard 
the groans that ensued from some of us who have no 
surplus beef to take up the hard places. 
Scores in series of three shoots, two teams of Co. A, 
Sixth Massachusetts Infantry, Wakefield, Mass., and 
Providence Revolver Club; six men to a team, 10 shots 
per man, 25yds., *4in. ring targets; Wakefield teams to 
use .22 Winchester muskets; Revolver Club team to use 
Krags, with gallery loads. First match, standing; sec¬ 
ond, sitting or kneeling; third, prone. 
First match, March 20 (Wakefield team shoot) and 
March 21 (Revolver Club team shoots). The scores:

National Rifle Association of America. 
New York, March 21.—I am sending you to-day 
under separate cover by mail the annual report of the 
Association, and I inclose you herewith a review of the 
contents of the report. If you can find it convenient to 
publish this, it will greatly oblige, 
Albert S. Jones, Sec’y. 
If the report which an association gets out is any cri¬ 
terion of the success of that association, then the 
National Rifle Association of America is a very successful 
organization, as their annual report for 1907, which has 
just made its appearance, is a very attractive book of 
215 pages, with 40 half-tone illustrations of shooting 
scenes, rifle teams, and trophies. The big shooting 
events of the year have been handled in detail. The 
matches of the National Board for Promotion of Rifle 
Practice, the National Rifle Association, the Ohio State 
Rifle Association, the New York State Rifle Associa¬ 
tion, the Illinois State Rifle Association, the Iowa State 
Rifle Association, the Colorado State Rifle Association, 
and the Maryland State Rifle Association, are published, 
with the winners and scores in all matches. The frontis¬ 
piece contains the photographs of the officers of the 
Association, followed by the list of officers, the board of 
directors, the life members, the State secretaries, and the 
affiliated organizations. The last shows that the follow¬ 
ing number of organizations are now affiliated with the 
national body: State associations, 21; regiments, 56; 
separate military organizations, 28; civilian or Govern¬ 
ment rifle clubs, 60; college and university clubs, 6; 
schoolboy clubs, 15, or a total of 185. 
The annual reports of State secretaries, which follow, 
contain much valuable information of the rifle shooting 
doings in their respective States. 
The minutes of the annual meetings and of that of the 
board of directors show the method of administering the 
Association’s business. 
The international Palma competition is handled most 
fully, with views of the range at Ottawa, pictures of the 
competing teams, and reproductions of the targets, show¬ 
ing the shots of each individual member of the American 
team. There are full reports of competitions for the cup 
held by State associations, and of the N. R. A. medal 
competitions held by regiments and clubs. 
The secretary’s report, giving in detail the work done 
by the different departments of the Association, shows 
that the Association during the year gained as members 
9 State associations, 22 regiments, 5 separate military
