RIFLE NOTES
Much curiosity IL naturally manifested as to who
shall compose the team that wilt in all Likelihood
represent The United States In the approaching
with the United Kingdom Team. All things con-
sidereJ the man who VIII probably hold the place Of
honor Is Major General Thomas 8. Dakn. He, IT. liz
gcuoraily conceded would also make OF the best
team captains that could be selected. Alter him. in
..
l. /. Allen, Frank Hyde, l.. Weber, l.. C. Bruce
c. IT, Blydenburgh ana W. H. Jackson. Ratabone aud
odino have lost by non attendance their chances to
be OF the chosen eight, aud Major Fulton, although
lately getting into little better form than when hs
commenced practice this season, is SAID to be not
doing anything like tho work which his record
would Indicate hts friends could wish
with the credit OF tho country In tho
keeping OF team composed oil thcse men
there need but little lear. Mr.. Du1ly seph OF New
Orleans, whom the Creedmoor riaemen would be glad
to see among hem, has thus far, failed TO intimate
his intention OF competing Tor place the American
team and unless lie should do 80, would be unwisc
Tor his friends expect that ne could be placed upon
II on account OF what he has done great a dis.
lance from the scene oil battle.
Tho Scottish rifemcn. by their latc protest, have
raised number OF delicate aud important questions
in connection with tho matches tor tho Centennial
Trophy. The Scotch very properly contend that AZ
they, the Irish and other national indvduates have
already been allowed to compete for the trophy,
they should not be barred in future IRON
exercising tas right America fully recognizes their
privilege aud that vi the Irish common
with the rincmen OF other patlons Tho Scotch believe
that n the English sbould carry oil trophy THIS
year. they would 10 ISIS ignore tho right OF scotland
and Ireland 20 enter teams TO shoot or il aud therefore
urge that America shall have und rstood beforehand
that # tie United Kingdom team should grand
prize TINS fail, then scotland would independently oil
what England might do IN the premises, be recogn zcl
az possessing the right TO chtr team at
Wimbledon Tor the centennial match next year Amer
lean rlcmcn look upon the question AS having been
settled last year IN fsvor OF permitting scotland and
ireland TO come the match II only England
that objects TO America recognizing IN those
two countries aus separate status, except
ing what Is acquired through her There orc
the Scotchmen protest against such ruling
AS we navo already had here team
IRON Ireland rather IMAM an IRISH team, 1t is hardly 70
be expected that tho who formed 1t, or tae one
who heaucd II, Will have anything 10 say against whaI
the authorities at Wimbledon dictate. Indeed througl
the wboio altar the scotch have SHOWN good
deal OF commendable spirit and PUCK.
a. tho matter now stands II remains
Tor America have IL understood thht
neither now hereafter the riBcmen Of ireland
or scotland 10 be excluded from this great intcrnn
tona contest Having done so, ihch We Gan ahoId 10
