At Sea Girt. 
Sea Girt, Sept. 1. — On the Sea Girt range to-morrow 
the program includes the Interstate regimental team 
match for teams of six at 200, GOO and 1000yds., the all¬ 
comers’ 800yd. military match for individuals, and the 
Old Guard trophy at 200yds' for teams of six. 'The Inter¬ 
state regimental team match carries with it the trophy 
presented by Senator Frank O. Briggs, and $100 in 
money will be divided among the first four teams. The 
Class A trophy match carries 15 money prizes, and the 
Keystone match, 10 money prizes. 
An interesting match now in progress is what is known 
as the 200yd. carton match, 10 shots at 200yds. This 
match is open for unsquadded continuous competition, 
and is shot on a bullseye, Sin. in diaiheter, with cartons 
of 3in. and Gin. respectively. The tickets are sold at 
$1 each, and the competitors are refunded 25 cents for 
each hit on the 3in. carton; 10 cents for each hit on the 
Gin. carton outside the 3in. carton, and 5 cents for each 
hit on the bullseye outside of the Gin. carton. Thus ii 
is possible for the competitor to take down $2.50 for 
every dollar invested, provided he places, his 10 shots in 
the circle 3in. in diameter in the center of the bullseyt 
Similar matches are being conducted at 500, GOO and 
1000yds., under the same conditions. The bullseye at 
500yds. is lGin. in diameter, and the cartons 6 and lOin. 
At 600vds. the size of The bullseye is 20in. and the car¬ 
tons 10 and !5in.. and at 1000yds., the bullseye is 3Gin. 
and the cartons 12 and 24in. At 1000yds. 50 cents is re¬ 
funded for each hit on the 12in. carton, and 25c. for each 
hit on ’the 24'in. carton outside the 12in. cartons, while 
every bullseye counts ten cents. These matches are at* 
tracting a great deal of attention. 
The program for to-morrow includes the company tyro 
team match for teams of three at 200 and 500yds.; the 
cavalry team match for teams of five at 200 and 500; the 
veteran team match for teams of six> at 200yds.; the 
Nevada trophy match at 600, 900 and 1200yds., and the 
Swiss trophy match at 500yds., miss-and-out. 
The Nevada trophy was given by citizens of Nevada for 
long range competition along in the early 70’s, and is a 
massive design of solid gold and silver, with an intrinsic 
value of $500, aside from its historical and sentimental 
value. It was withdrawn from competition in 1895, but 
was shot for under the auspices of the Association of 
American International Riflemen in 1909, when it was 
won by G. W. Chesley, of Connecticut. As it includes 
the 600, 900 and 1200yd. ranges, it is one of the most 
difficult matches of the country. 
The Swiss match is always one of the most interesting 
at Sea Girt. It is for a handsome trophy presented by 
Mr. Hugo Newberger, a Swiss-American enthusiast of 
New York. 
Each competitor fires two sighting shots and continues 
to shoot as long as his shots strike the bullseye. It was 
won last year by John W. Hessian over a long list of 
celebrated marksmen. 
There will be a solid week of shooting beginning 
on Monday, Sept. 5, to complete the matches of the 
New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania State Rifle 
Associations, which are being held on the Sea Girt range. 
The most interesting match for the 5th will be the 
Spencer match for J5 shots at 1200yds. _ While shooting 
at 1200yds. was introduced last year it is yet sufficiently 
in advance of the general run of competitions to present 
a decided novelty. The Spencer match was formerlv shot 
at 1000yds., but has now been put back to 1200. Fifteen 
shots are allowed each competitor, and there are fifteen 
money prizes. It was won last year by Col. C. B. Win¬ 
der, of Ohio. 
The officers and inspectors’ match of 10 shots each at 
600 and 1000yds. will also be shot on the 5th. This car¬ 
ries with it the inspectors’ badge and ten money prizes. 
The only other match scheduled for the day is the 
mid-range match of Pennsylvania State Rifle Association, 
10 shots at 500yds. This match carries six prizes and 
four additional prizes for tyros. 
The program for Tuesday, Sept. 6, on the Sea Girt 
range, includes the Thurston match for individuals at 
800 and 900yds., each competitor firing 15 shots. This 
match is a sweepstakes, the entrance fees being divided 
among the first five contestants. The Cruikshank trophy 
match of 200, 500 and 600yds. for teams of six, and the 
New York Company team match for teams of four at 
200, 500 and 600yds., will also be shot. These matches, as 
are all the New York matches, will be sweepstake affairs. 
The Cruikshank match carries with it the trophy pre¬ 
sented by E. A. Cruikshank. 
The most impoitant match of the program of the New 
York State Rifle Association, which is participating in 
the tri-State rifle meeting at Sea Girt, will be shot Sept.

Camp-Fires of the Wilderness. 
By E. W. Burt. Cloth. Illustrated. 221 pages. Price, 
$1.25. 
The volume treats of a multitude of matters of in¬ 
terest to the camper, who, unless he is made comfortable 
by the exercise of a little expert knowledge and thought¬ 
fulness, may find himself when in camp the most miser¬ 
able of mortals. A man who has had experience, makes 
himself as comfortable in camp as at home, while the 
free and independent life, the exercise that he is con¬ 
stantly taking, the fresh air in which he works, eats and 
sleeps, combine to render his physical condition so per¬ 
fect that every hour of every day is likely to be a joy. 
‘‘Camp-Fires of the Wilderness” is written for those 
persons who wish to go into camp, yet are without ex¬ 
perience of travel, chiefly by canoe and on foot, through 
various sections of the country, and it may be read with 
profit by .every one who enjoys camping;
