The live-bird shoot held at Ryland, Ky., on Sept. 24 
was a pleasant little shoot. The day was pleasant, with 
the exception of a shower about noon, and the birds 
were an extra good lot of strong fliers for this time of 
year. 
In the 20-bird event. Walker and Ahlers tied for first 
money on 19, the former losing his 13th bird dead out, 
and the latter missing his 18th bird. Stone killed his 
first 18 birds straight, but lost the last two, one dead 
out and the other a miss. He tied for second rrioney with 
Weist and Koch. At the shoot on July 4, Walker and 
Stone tied for the trophy on 39 out of 40, and as this is 
the first time they have met since that shoot, the tie was 
shot off at 15 birds. Walker, from 34yds., won with a 
straight score, Stone losing his ninth bird. 
Event No. 1, 20 birds, $10 entrance, divided 50, 30 and 
20 per cent.:

General Crozier’s Work. 
Washington, D. C., Sept. 24. — Among the army of¬ 
ficers engaged in encouraging rifle practice, the name of 
Brigadier-General William Crozier, U. S. A., stands high 
on the list. As chief of ordnance, his professional duties 
keep him in close touch with rifle practice, and he gives 
evidence of his interest by attending the matches at 
Camp Perry each year. Since General Crozier has been 
chief of ordnance, the present model of rifle used by the 
Army and the National Guard has been perfected and the 
ammunition has been greatly improved. General Crozier 
also designed the latest model of wire wrapped gun for 
the army, and in connection with Gen. Buffington, the 
present type of disappearing gun carriage for the sea 
coast fortifications. 
General Crozier graduated from West Point in 1876, 
and was detailed with the Ordnance Department in 1881. 
As a captain he was stationed at the Sandy Hook 
Proving Grounds, and the Watertown Arsenal, where he 
rendered brilliant service. He was ordnance officer in 
the Philippines, and with the China Relief Expedition 
from 1899 to 1900, and was made chief of ordnance in 
November. 1901. He is now serving his third detail of 
four years each, and as he will not retire until 1919, is 
likely to long continue at the head of the Ordnance 
Bureau. He is a member of the Board of Ordnance and 
Fortifications, was a member of the Taft Coast Defense 
Board and is on the board for the fortification of the 
Panama Canal. In 1899 General Crozier was one of the 
American delegates to the first Peace Conference at The 
Hague. 
Since General Crozier has been chief of ordnance, the 
department has increased from 65 to 85 officers, and the 
work has been greatly extended because of the increase 
in the activities of the army, the defense of the Panama 
Canal, the fortifying of the coasts and rifle work in the 
National Guard. General Crozier is heartily in sympathy 
with the movement for the revival of rifle practice among 
civilians. At present there are some 78 civilian rifle 
clubs and 44 schoolboy rifle clubs, to which General 
Crozier lends whatever assistance is possible under the 
law. He has strongly recommended the passage of a bill 
appropriating $100,000 for the advancement of rifle prac¬ 
tice among civilians and in schools, and is a strong be¬ 
liever in preparing the young men of the country to bear 
arms for their country in case of war. 
General Crozier is assisted in the work of advancing 
rifle practice by Lieut.-Col. John T. Thompson, who has 
devoted the past ten years to. the study of the rifle, and 
who is now in charge of the Small Arms Division of the 
Bureau.
