7. It 's the McAlpine trophy match for teams of eight, 
for 200, 600 and 1000yds. This match corresponds to the 
Jersey Dryden trophy match of the new State Rifle As¬ 
sociation and the Herrick trophy match of the Ohio 
State Rifle Association. The handsome trophy was pre¬ 
sented by Gen. E. A. McAlpine. It has been won for 
the past four years by the State of New York, which 
expects to carry it off again this year. The Hayes 
match is also scheduled for the 5th. It is 10 shots 
at 600yds. and was won last year by Dr. W. G. Hudson, 
of New York. The General E. P. Meany match of 10 
shots at 500yds. is also to be shot on Monday. This has 
been won for the past three years by J. W. Hessian. 
Both the Hayes and Meany matches carry gold medals 
and a number of money prizes. 
The program of Sept. 8 will be one of the heaviest of 
the present rifle tournament, which is in progress on the 
Sea Girt range. It will include the • Gould rapid fire 
team match for teams of six at 200yds., and on the 
skirmish.as well as the 71st New York Regiment match, 
under precisely similar conditions. The New York State 
Rifle Association match for individual contestants of 7 
shots at 800. 900 and 1000yds., will also be shot on the 8th. 
The New York and New Jersey Revolver matches for 
teams of five and the all-comers’, squadded revolvers, 
match, will also be shot. These matches will all be shot 
at 50yds., 35 shots deliberate fire, and 15 shots in strings 
of 5 shots each with a time limit of 10 seconds for each 
string. Squadron A has won the New Jersey match for 
the past seven years, and is likely to repeat its victories. 
Tt also carried off the New York revolver team match for 
the past four years. 
Friday. Sept. 9, will be a big day. For it are scheduled 
the Dryden trophy match, the Libby trophy match, and 
the press match. The Dryden match is for teams of eight 
at 200, 600, and 1000yds., 10 shots per man. The team 
making the highest aggregate score receives the Dryden 
trophy presented bv former Senator John F. Dryden and 
valued at $4000, which it holds for one year, and also 
receives $150 in cash. The second and third teams receive 
$100 and $50 respectively. Since the Dryden trophy match 
was established it has been won as follows: 1903, U. S. 
Infantry; 3904, New Jersey: 1905. Ohio; 1906, New Jersey; 
1907, U. S. Cavalry; 1908, U. S. Marine Corps; 1909, Ohio. 
One of the most interesting matches of the competition 
is the Libby trophy match, shot on the 9th. The dis¬ 
tance is 1000yds., and each competitor will fire two sight¬ 
ing shots and continue to shoot as long as he remains in 
the bullseve oi; the 4-ring. The first shot outside the 4- 
ring puts him out. The trophy was presented by Lieut.- 
Col. Wm. Libby, and the winner holds it for a year, and 
also receives a gold medal. There are also ten cash 
prizes. It was won last year by Major W. B. Martin, 
of New Jersey, who also won the military championship 
of the United States at Camp Perry. The press match 
is open to bona fide newspaper correspondents and is 10 
shots at 500yds. The prize is the press tropliy, presented 
by Arms and the Man, and becomes the property of the 
winner. Saturday the tournament will wind up with the 
contest for the Sea Girt championship for the champion¬ 
ship medal, presented by Gov. John Franklin Fort, ot 
New Jersey. This is a very celebrated match and always 
Attracts a large field. The distances are 200, 600, 900. 
1000yds., 10 shots at each range. In addition to the medal 
there are 15 money prizes. The match was won in 1907 
by Major Arthur Rowland, of New Jersey; in 1908 by 
Lieut. J. TT. E. Simon, of Ohio, and last year by J. W. 
Hessian, of Delaware. 
Without doubt the two most famous team captains at 
Sea Girt are Rrig.-Gen. Bird W. Snencer. of New Jersey, 
and Lieut.-Col. Nathaniel Blunt Thurston, of New York. 
Gen. Spencer wa's for many years president of the 
National Rifle Association of America, and it was during 
the latter years of his administration that rifle practice 
was revived. For many years, Gen. Spencer, Col. Thurs¬ 
ton, Gen. George W. Wingate, of New York; Col. 
Church, Mr. Gould and others kept the sport alive under 
the greatest difficulties until 1903. when Congress realized 
the necessity of training our marksmen and provided for 
the National trophy and the national matches. Tt is to 
General Spencer, Col. Thurston and a handful of others 
that the national matches owe their existence. From the 
first match, which was attended by a mere handful of 
teams, it has grown until now almost every State and 
Territory is represented in the matches by teams, and 
more than a thousand marksmen are in attendance. 
In addition to his services as president of the National 
Rifle Association, Gen. Spencer has given largely of his 
time and money first as Inspector-General of Rifle Prac¬ 
tice for New Jersey, and its team captain year after 
year, second as the commandant of the post at Sea Girt, 
N. T., where the State rifle range and encampment 
grounds are located, and finally as captain of several 
famous American teams in international matches, among 
them the last Palma trophy match shot in England. He 
has also given several handsome prizes. Gen. Spencer 
was recently honored by his fellow-townsmen at Passaic, 
who elected him Mayor. He is an honored director for 
life of the National Rifle Association, and one of the 
most active members of the National Board for Promo¬ 
tion of Rifle Practice. 
Col. Thurston enlisted as a private in the 22d New 
York National Guard Regiment as far back as 1877, rising 
to Lieutenant-Colonel in 1898. He has been Inspector 
of Small Arms Practice and Ordnance Officer of New 
York since that time. During the Spanish War he 
served as Lieutenant-Colonel of the 22d Regiment and 
received the title of Brevet-Colonel in September, 1902. 
H was team captain of the New York State rifle team 
from 1900 to 1909, inclusive, and under his captaincy the 
team carried off the national trophy for three years in 
succession, 1903, 1904, 1905, a record which has never been 
equalled. Col. Thurston is a director of the National 
Rifle Association, and it was under his command that 
the Palma team of 1907 won the famous Palma trophy at 
the Rock Cliffe range, Ottawa, Canada.
