National Board for Promotion of 
Rifle Practice. 
Washington, D. C., May 12. —Arrangements are being 
completed by the National Rifle Association of America 
for sending a rifle team to London to compete in the 
Olympic games. The U. S. Cartridge Company has come 
forward with a generous offer to pay the entire expenses 
of the team which will consist of six members with 
probably two alternates, a captain and quartermaster. 
Gen. James A. Drain, president of the National Rifle 
Association, has been selected as captain of the team, and 
in this manner a double purpose will be served, for 
while in England C.en, Drain will meet the representa¬ 
tives of all the foreign governments competing in the 
rifle matches and make arrangements as far as possible 
for the Palma trophy match to be shot in this country 
in 1909. Should the plans of the National Rifle As¬ 
sociation be successfully executed, as no doubt they 
will, the Palma match of next year will be the greatest 
contest ever held for this renowned trophy, now in the 
possession of the LTnited States. 
Letters have been sent to the adjutants general of all 
States and Territories, to the heads of the official mili¬ 
tary establishments, to civilian clubs and others, noti¬ 
fying them of the preliminary contests to be held for 
places on the team. These will probably be held on three 
ranges in order to attract the largest possible number of 
competitors. The ranges selected are Camp Perry, Ohio; 
Sea Girt, N J., and Wakefield, Mass. A number of 
the best shots "will be selected from each competition to 
meet on an eastern range shortly prior to the sailing of 
the team, where the final competition will be held. The 
team will then be selected and will have a few days’ 
practice before sailing. Tt is understood the Govern¬ 
ment rifle will be used, together with ammunition of 
the LL S. Cartridge Company, similar to that furnished 
by this company to the Government, although in view 
of the importance of these matches it is possible the 
U. S. Cartridge Company may supply ammunition es¬ 
pecially designed for the purpose, which is allowable 
under the rules governing the matches. The team will 
probably be accompanied by a number of enthusiasts on 
rifle practice, as was the case when the Palma team went 
abroad some years ago. In addition to the team match 
at 200 , 500, 600, S00, 900 and 1,000 yards, there will be a 
team match at 300 meters and an individual competition 
at 1,000 yards, to which the entries are limited to twelve 
from each country. The matches will be shot on the 
famous Bisley range. . ; 
The National Rifle Association has extended an in¬ 
vitation to the leading universities and colleges to par¬ 
ticipate in an inter-collegiate rifle match, to be held on : 
the Wakefield, Mass., range during the third week in
