June. There is an exceptionally handsome trophy for 
this match, comprising among other features an open 
book on whose bronze pages are inscribed the names 
of the winning team and the details of the contest. 
This trophy has been won by Princeton and George 
Washington Universities. 
The Wakefield range has been placed at the disposal 
of the National Kifle Association by the Massachusetts 
Kifle Association. It is the range on which the New 
England Kifle Association holds its annual matches, and 
is within thirty minutes’ ride of Boston. A number of 
universities and colleges have rifle clubs affiliated with 
the National Kifle Association, and a good attendance 
is expected. 
The movement for schoolboy rifle practice received a 
powerful impetus from the schoolboy matches held in 
Washington recently. The National Capitaf Rifle and 
Revolver Club, a small but energetic organization and 
numbering among its members some of the best pistol 
shots in the country, undertook the task of conducting 
the tournament. The newspapers co-operated heartily, 
tile Evening Star and Washington Times giving hand¬ 
some silver cups to be competed for annually until won 
three times. There were company, battalion and inter¬ 
school shoots, with competitions on the sub-target gun 
and competitions for officers and for individual prizes. 
Speaking of the competition, Secretary A. S. Jones, in 
his report to the National Rifle Association, says: “The- 
National Capital Rifle and Revolver Club ranges are 
the best I have seen for contests of this nature. They 
are located at the end of the drill hall and are sixteen 
in number. Record shooting is carried on iron targets, 
but for this shoot the Mevn’s system of overhead 
trolleys to carry the target to and from the backstop 
was installed and gave quick and efficient service. The 
shooting was all done at fifty feet, and on the National 
Kifle Association targets, with one inch bullseye. All 
matches were shot in strings of ten shots, for which a 
charge of five cents was made. The new .22 caliber 
U. S. Army rifle was used, and again demonstrated its 
efficiency. It carried a .22 caliber short cartridge, of 
which all the different makes were used, the elevations 
being the same.” About 3,000 targets were used, 30,000 
rounds of ammunition expended. Nearly 400 boys par¬ 
ticipated and 14S qualified as junior marksmen and re¬ 
ceived medals. So much interest was created by this 
shoot, which was originally designed for the white com¬ 
panies of school cadets, that the colored schools took it 
up and matches between the two colored high schools 
were held, extending over four nights and under the 
same auspices. A list of prizes was secured for this 
tournament comparing very favorably with that for the 
white schools and the scores were about the same. The 
prizes for the white schools were presented at the close 
of the match, but the colored schools arranged a special 
meeting for their exercises, which was attended by 
representatives of the club, the National Rifle Associa¬ 
tion and War Department. Gen. James A. Drain pre¬ 
sented the. prizes in both instances. Boston is arrang¬ 
ing for a schoolboy tournament in the fall, and Denver 
has been conducting one, although not under the 
auspices of the National Rifle Association. The Denver 
City Troop furnished the medals, and the match was 
shot on its range. A large number of the cadets and 
National Guard officers were present as spectators, and 
the interest exceeded that anticipated by those promoting 
the shoot. Four companies competed, the match being 
won by the team from Company C—Manual Training 
High School. The school clubs will probably affiliate 
with the National Rifle Association. 
The National Rifle Association has notified the 
twenty-three schoolboy clubs affiliated with it, that dur¬ 
ing the week of June 8 to 13 an inter-school match will 
be shot on the lo'cal ranges in the various targets. Tar¬ 
gets will be issued from the office of the association in 
this city, to be returned after being shot upon. The 
results will be compared by a committee and the atvards 
' made by it. The matches will be for teams of ten 
with ten shots standing and ten shots prone.
