can National Rihs Team Of 1877 have
voted permission to Tiffany & Co. 70 place
tho Centennial Pleona trophy 10 the
Paris Exhibition, provided that no for
eipn team accepts the American challenge
TO contest for its possession. The di.
rectors Of the National Rifle ASSOCIATION
at their last meeting appointed com
mittee to consider plan for selecting
the American Team for 1878. The Team
Of 1877 argued yesterday that the Ma
tional Association was but local organ
Iixation, and supported this view BY citing
the fact that the Northwestern Rifle As
sociation had q local trophy. which was
shot for last year aud won by the Irish
Team, and the Northwestern men were
going to send team this year to ireland
after IL, thus ignoring altogether the au-
thority Of the National Rife Association
The team OF last year sgreed that they
were the guardians OF the trophy, and
therefore they are the proper body TO ar
range for the selection Of team, which

can rifiemen against all comers. They
instructed their Captain General to ap.
