WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 19.—While there has been a 
series of slimly attended shoots, it must not be under- 
stood that interest in the Association is on the wane. 
On the contrary, all the boys are sitting up and taking 
notice. But we of Delaware are blessed with a never- 
ending series of elections, and the only time a fellow has 
a chance to attend to politics is on a Saturday afternoon. 
There are primaries, registrations, qualifications and 
other ations without number, so that from the beginning 
of August until after the November election day rifle 
snooting is put aside. Then, too, there are automobiles, 
boats, fishing ponds, etc., to be looked after—and girls! 



This will explain why on Oct. 5 only two members 
were at the range. Their scores follow:

Massachusetts Rifle Association. 
Watnut Hitt, Oct. 19.—The weekly competition of the 



Massachusetts Rifle Association, held at its range to-day, 
was the best attended of any shoot this fall. 
Conditions were not of the best, the shooters having 
to face a strong 10 to 12 o’clock wind, which was hard to 
follow, especially at 1,000yds. At this distance experi- 
enced riflemen were getting both high and low misses, 
and the elevations averaged about 10ft. higher than those 
of last week. 
W. Charles had a 45 for the best score of the day at 
long range. Dr. Bell added a few points to his ring 
target record by making a 225, with a Garrison finish. 
The annual competition for the M. R. A. medal takes 
place on Saturday next. The match is open to members 
only, and consists of two sighting and five record shots 



at each range, 200, 300 and 500yds., military rifles and 
ammunition. The summary:
