of its extremely shelving character- 
istics, forms an ideal playground for 
the youngsters of the family. 
There are splendid trunk highways 
into Cleveland, Toledo, and Sandusky 
from all points in the United States. 
From either one of these three cities 
Camp Perry is easily reached over con- 
crete roads. Civilian competitors are 
under no military discipline while in 
attendance at the School of Instruction 
and Matches. The ordinary rules of 
Camp sanitation and common sense are 
of course strictly enforced, while the 
most sensible and simple safety precau- 
tions possible to develop are taken on 
the firing line. The competitors them- 
selves see to it that these safety cau- 
tions are preserved. You never see a 
shooter at Camp Perry behind the fir- 
ing line with the bolt of his rifle closed 
or the slide of his automatic pistol or 
cylinder of his revolver shut. With the 
breech open, it is pretty difficult for a 
gun to go off. This fact is proven be- 
yond peradventure of doubt from the 
official statistics covering the Camp, 
which shows that no competitor has 
been killed, seriously wounded, or 
slightly wounded in all the matches 
since 1913. In that year, when there 
was an influx of foreign teams with 
hair-trigger rifles, there were two cas- 
ualties, and once before in the early 
stages of the National Match game at 
Sea Girt, N. J., there was one accident. 
It is expected that there will be 
three thousand competitors or more in 
attendance at the School and Matches 
between August 28th and October 2nd. 
Some of them will stay throughout the 
entire period; some of them will be 
there for the School of Instruction 
only; some will come down for a few 
days during the matches; and some 
from points within easy travel distance 
will spend their week-ends competing 
in the small bore and shotgun events. 
Lieutenant-Colonel Morton C. Mum- 
ma will be Executive Officer of the 
Matches this year for the sixth con- 
secutive year. During his years of ex- 
perience in handling the School and 
Matches, Colonel Mumma has worked 
out an organization and has drawn to- 
gether a personnel which will assure 
the competitions of 1924 being the most 
smoothly conducted of any in the quar- 
ter-century’s history of the events. The 
National Rifle Association, as the gov- 
erning body of the sport in the United 
States, is again handling the details 
and issuing the programs. Copies of 
the program may be obtained at this 
time through the office of the Secretary.
