The brigade rifle tournament of the Con- inecticut National Guard was held at the rife range of the First regiment at Colts mea- dows yesterday. The drst match was the company team match for three handsome prizes. Owing to lack of range accommods- tions no challenges were allowed, and as result the markers at the targets were the supreme dictasors of the match. They should have had a telephone. The whims of the there was big kick.
 fault with was that members of the First regiment kept the scores while the regiments team was shooting. Each company team shot five rounds at both targets with two sighting shots at 500 yards. The following companies were represented Companies B, F, K, First regiment; companies H, D, G, A, o, k, K, Second regiment; companies I, G, Fourth regiment; company A, Fifth battal- ion, and brigade, field and staff.

 The most important competition for regi- mental pride was the State regimental team match for two trophies offered by the State at 200 and 500 yards. The Second regiment team was as follows: Privates Warner and Goldsmith, Company A; Lieutenant Creed, Company o; Captain Andrew Allen, Lieu tenant Duffy, Captain T. T. Wells, Lieuten- ant R.. NJ.

 Go. K of Wallingford shot first at the 200 yards range in the company team match. ''Bob'' Walker only made 15 out of possi- ble % at the 200 yard range, and aa his team only scored 1O8 out of 150 the New Haveners felt that the chances of bringing the big prizes home were very bright. About $1 ,500 worth of prizes for this tournament were con- tributed and otherwise secured, and were on exhibition in Hartford.
 Company K of Wallingford won the com pany team match with 8 score of 115 at 900 yards and IF at 500; total, 232. That Com pany K won through partiality is loudly as- serted. Company H of the First regiment withdrew their team on account of unfair scoring after shooting at the first targets It will be very long time before the effects of the tournament are soothed away.
 There was much dissatisfaction expressed last evening by the members of the Second regiment who arrived at the armory after the shoot at Hartford. Several of the men stated that many members of the First regiment were credited with more than they made on the targets, especially during the competition for the regimental prizes. For instance they said that when it was known that one of the First regiment men had made 9 he would be credited with 4. Nearly all of the New Ha- ven soldiers stated that mistakes of this kind occurred frequently and were invariably in inspector of rife practice stated that SO many of these errors occurred that he had entered protest against the award of the first prize to the First regiment.
 The first prize for regimenta1 team shoot ing was won by the First regiment, the sec- ond prize was won by the Second regiment and the third prize by the Third regiment.
 It was stated last evening by some of the contestants from New Haven that one of the officers of the First regiment made very un- gentlemanly remarks which were directed to two of the officers of the Second regi- ment. s5:sps n4
 Captain Lathrop was credited with making he best score at the range, which was 23 ont ,f possible 25 and was made at the 500 yard range. There are many good shots in Cap ain Lathrop's company.
