THE PETERS CARTRIDGE COMPANY. CINCINNATI. OHIO 
Hyde Park Gun Club. 
Cincinnati, O. — There was a big crowd at the grounds 
on Oct. 1, and they were treated to a fine exhibition of 
fancy rifle and revolver shooting by Capt. A. II. Hardy, 
Lincoln, Neb., the well-known trade representative. After 
the exhibition was over sixteen men faced the traps and 
kept things moving until dark. High score was made 
by Hardy, 94. Then came Keplinger with 90 and Hola- 
day close up with 89. Tuttle improved as he went along, 
and shot a good race in the last event. There were a 
number of the shooters who have not been at the 
grounds for several months. Wuerdeman is a new mem¬ 
ber and new at the game. Block, one of the old regu¬ 
lars of the Cincinnati Club, was out, but did not get up 
to his old mark. The scores:

National Rifle Association Notes. 
All of this w’eek the secretary of the National Rifle 
Association will be at St. Louis attending the National 
Guard convention and organizing rifle clubs in the high 
schools of St. Louis. The National Guard convention 
will be asked to indorse the plans of the National Board 
for the Promotion of Rifle Practice and the National Rifle 
Association, for the promotion of rifle practice in in¬ 
stitutions of learning throughout the country, and to go 
on record and in favor of the bill now pending in Con¬ 
gress for an issue of rifles and ammunition to such clubs 
and an annual appropriation of one hundred thousand 
dollars to carry on the work in such a broad and 
national way that the Government will be getting proper 
returns for the money expended for the making of effi¬ 
cient volunteer material for the country. 
The office force of - the National Rifle Association is 
busy sending out a new circular to the schools of the 
country. This circular contains no argument, but a con¬ 
cise statement of facts as to what the National. Associa¬ 
tion is doing in the organization of schoolboy clubs and 
the presentation of prizes for team and individual shoot¬ 
ing. A copy of this circular will be furnished any one on 
application. 
While in St. Louis Secretary Jones will hold a meeting 
with the principals of the high schools of that city, and, 
assisted by Col. E. J. Spencer, of the First Missouri 
Infantry, and Mr. C. C. Crossman, secretary of the 
Missouri State Rifle Association, expects to perfect per¬ 
manent organizations in each of the schools and arrange 
for an indoor tournament, to be held during the winter. 
Lieut. Jones will probably stop over in Cincinnati on 
his return to look the situation over there with a view 
of interesting the schools of that city in the Government’s 
plans to promote rifle instruction. 
It is proposed by the National Rifle Association to 
run during the winter rifle shooting leagues for the 
civilian rifle clubs, college and university clubs and the 
schoolboy clubs to be known as the Interclub League, 
the Intercollegiate League and the Interschool League. 
Circular letters have already been addressed to each one 
of the seventy-three schoolboy rifle clubs affiliated with 
the National Rifle Association to ascertain how many of 
the clubs care to go into the League. The same will be 
done in a few days with the college clubs. For these two 
leagues the teams will be composed of ten men, and the 
firing done on a 50ft. range with ,22cal. rifles, using the 
N. R. A. gallery target, each boy firing 10 shots standing 
and 10 shots prone. 
A letter will shortly be addressed to the civilian clubs 
in which the club will be asked to designate their prefer¬ 
ence as to the size of the team, and whether telescopes 
are desired or not. Some of the clubs have expressed 
their preference for telescopes, as it would give their 
team members practice which they would want for the 
International Small-bore team. The one objection to the 
adoption of the telescope is that it would tend to bar 
out the poorer club members who could hardly afford to 
go to the expense of purchasing telescopes for their 
rifles. There is still another class of clubs which desire 
that the straight military rifle be used with the military 
sight. Many clubs will pbject to the increase in the 
size of the "team, claiming that it was with the utmost 
difficulty that they were able to get five men together on 
the nights the matches were shot to compete. This argu¬ 
ment may be met with the statement that a club that 
cannot get together eight men one night a week to shoot 
a match is hardly the class of club desired in the League. 
Nothing further has been heard from England in refer- 
nce to the De War trophy or the medals for the mem- 
ers of the American team which won the International 
Small-bore match last spring. The last advice was to the 
effect that the trophy had not yet been made, and that 
new medals had been struck up and would be sent as 
soon as received from the maker. 
The following new organizations have been elected to 
membership in the Association since the Camp Perry 
matches: Hudson Valley, N. Y., Rod and Gun Club; 
West Chester, Pa.. Rifle Association; Company L, First 
Infantry, N. G. N. D.; Fifty-fourth Infantry, Iowa
