No Palma Trophy Match in 1906. 
British Team Will Not Compete. 
To General Bird W. Spencer we are indebted for the 
following communication, which sets forth the manly 
stand of the National Rifle Association of America: 
It is at last definitely decided that there will be no 
contest for the Palma trophy, although the National 
Rifle Association of America had hoped that the broad- 
minded invitation of the Dominion Rifle Association of 
Canada to shoot the match on their range at Ottawa 
would be accepted by the British riflemen. But recent 
correspondence had between Lord Cheylesmore, of the 
National Rifle Association of Great Britain, and General 
Spencer, president of the National Rifle Association of 
America, determines the matter for this year. 
The Canadian Association were desirous of having the 
match, and even willing to consider the possibility of a 
match without the English participating, but the National 
Rifle Association of America, at a recent meeting de- 
cided that unless a British team entered, it would not be 
wise to have the match at all this year. It is hoped that 
by 1907 some arrangements may be made by which a 
good sportsmanlike shoot may be held, the British par- 
ticipating. ’ 
On March 2, Col. John Tilton, chairman of the Domin- 
ion Rifle Association cf Canada, wrote to General Spencer 
as follows: 
“Touching the question suggested in yours of the 23d, 
must frankly say that our understanding here is that the 
contest for the Palma trophy at Rockcliffe is contingent 
upon a British team taking part therein. If, however, 
England declines to send a team, I have no objection to 
take up with the executive of the D. R. A. the changed 
conditions.”’ 
This letter was submitted to the executive committee 
of the National Rifle Association of America, which 
committee came to the conclusion that, if a British team 
did not enter, it would be better for an American team 
not to enter also, and Col. Tilton was so advised by 
General Spencer as follows: 
“A meeting of the executive committee of the National 
Rifle Association of America was held on the 11th inst., 
expressing the views of the committee that, unless a 
British team entered in the Palma trophy match, it would 
seem inadvisable for the United States to send a team. 
As a matter of fact, what we desire is a good, friendly, 
honest competition with the best British team, as well as 
your own and other teams, and unless we can meet the 
British team we can hardly claim to have wiped out any 
feeling that may have arisen on account of the last 
match.”’ 
Subsequently, and under date of March 6, General 
Spencer received a letter from Lieut.-Col. C Cross, 
secretary of the National Rifle Association of Great 
Britain, in reply to his letter to Lord Cheylesmore, as 
follows: : 
“T beg to inform you that your letter was considered 
by my Council at their meeting, held yesterday, and I 
was instructed to reply that they regret they do not see 
their way to send a British team to Canada to take part 
in the proposed match for the Palma trophy.” 
The best of feeling has been evinced in the correspond- 
ence between General Spencer and Lord Cheylesmore 
and Colonl Tilton, and they are confident that matters 
may be adjusted so that in 1907 the Palma trophy contest 
may be revived with the best of feeling prevailing. . 
National Rifle Association. 
A MEETING of the executive committee of the National 
Rifle Association of America was held at the Army and 
Navy Club, on Monday evening. The, following new 
organizations were elected: Columbia (University) Rifle 
Club, New York city; First Regiment Minute Men, 
Washington, D. C.; Schenectady Rifle and Revolver As- 
sociation, Schenectady, N. Y.; Indianapolis Light In- 
fantry, Indianapolis, Ind.. 
The duties of the recently appointed State secretaries, 
provided for by amendment to the by-laws, were defined 
as follows: 
“The duties of the State secretaries shall be in the line 
of co-operating with the general secretary in disseminat- 
ing through the local press information regarding the 
aims of the Government and the National Rifle Associa- 
tion; assisting in the organization of State associations 
where none exist, and of Goverment rifle clubs; the 
gathering of information and statistics within the State 
or Territory which they represent, regarding rifle ranges, 
and the interest manifested in rifle shooting generally. 
On the first of December of each year the secretaries 
shall make a report to the executive committee of the 
Association of the local conditions appertaining to rifle 
shooting, the ground covered during the year, with such 
recommendations as may in their estimation seem neces- 
sary to still further advance military rifle shooting within 
their State or Territory. Such reports will be published 
in the annual report of the Association.” 
It will also be the duties of the State secretaries to 
visit and report upon the conditions of and the work done 
by an affiliated organization, when instructed to do so 
by the executive committee, and to co-operate with said 
committee and the War Department for the use of ranges 
under such control for practice by members of affiliated 
civilian rifle clubs; and such other duties as the execu- 
tive committee may from time agree upon.” 
The officers of the Association, having received many 
letters urging that the Association take some action 
regarding the recent change of gun slings by the Ord- 
nance Department, the following resolution was proposed 
and unanimously adopted: 
“That the use of the gun sling on the plan most gener- 
ally adopted by the riflemen as a brace to the arm, 
whether for expert rifle shooting or for service in battle,
