American RiRIemen.
Tomorrow the fl st OF the four COM
petitions for places in the team to rep
resent America in the International
long-range match for the Centennial tro-
phy will take place at Creedmoor. The
match will practically be a contest for
the championship between Great Brit
ain and this country, as the mother
country has accepted the challenge OF
the National Association this year. 1t
Is probable that the personnel Of the
American team will differ somewhat
from that which contested for the prize
last year. The old riflenen who have
hitherto denied all long-range shooting
nave been dlstanced at nearly every
match his season, and some OF them
