Dolan was given three hearty cheers by
the Twelfth's boys, led by Lieut.. S. s..
Stebbins. II was suggested that Dolan
challenge the champion 100 yard shot of
Europe. and try to arrange a match, but
it is hard to tell whether or not the sug-
gestlon will be put into effect.
Sergt Boyle of the Twelfth New York
regiment, was the lucky contestant last
year. Although Georgia would have been
delighted to have won the Presidents
match, she cannot complain, as that
state will carry off the bulk Of the events
Capt. George T. Cam, OF Georgia, is an
almost certain winner of the Hayes med
al, which was captured last year by Cor
poral George p. Cook, of Washington.
On the two long ranges this afternoon
In competition for the medal Capt. Cam
made a clean score Of 70. This required
IA consecutive bulls eyes. He made two
more but these were not counted, as they
were sighting shots. II is not likely that
any one viii equal this score.
Lieut.. Wilson. also OF Georgia, looks
like the lucky contestant IN the ail-com-
ers military match, and he has more than
fair chance OF winning the Sumner
match, the prize in which Is $50. presented
by Lieut.. Sumner Paine of the First In
fantry Massachusetts Volunteers.
In the Trenton interstate fair match an
other Georgian likely TO be a winner. is
Private G. s. Richmond of the First Regt-
ment Cavalry, who has the highest score
in the revolver match at thirty yards.
Richmond won the match last year.
This morning Capt. Williamson and sew
era1 members of the Georgia team left
for their homes. When the whole team
reaches Savannah the members will be
given a royal reception by the residents
Of that city.
Tomorrow the meeting will close with
the Wimbledon cup match. open to cit-
zens and residents Of the United States;
distance. 1000 yards, thirty shots; weap-
on any rifle within the rules; cleaning al
lowed position. any without artificial rest;
entrance fee, 81; eighteen point handicap
for military rifles, six point handicap for
special. First prize, the Wimbledon cup,
by the National Rife Associa-
ton of Great Britain TO the National
Rife Association Of America, and to be
held by the winner until the next fall
meeting, when IT viii be shot for on the
same conditions; value, $500.

WILL GET BETTER RATES,
Wholesale Merchants of Norfolk
Want a DifRerentiaI.

Norfolk. Va, Sept. 4.-The Southern
Wholesale Grocers Association have been
endeavcring for some time past to obtain
through the Southern States Freight AS
ISOLATION and it's predecessor reasonab BILE
differential rate in favor of carload guam
titles between, rates on carload ana less
than carload shipments Of sugar, coffee,
-four, meal, meat and other staple groce-
ries.
This matter has been agitated for the
past three or four years, but with little
or no success, and a number of wholesale
merchants have now approached the Sea-
board Air Line with a view of obtaining
their assistance in this matter 1t is a
well known fact that the Seaboard Air
Line favored this change, and 80 voted
during their membership In the Southern
Railway and Steamship Association and
the Southern States Freight Association.
and IL Is said they are seriously consid-
ering some immediate favorable action
in the matter.
This has no connection with the rate
war. The Seaboard Air Line feels that
the merchants claims are Just, and the
change II made, will be permanent.

DoLAN TO BE THE CHAMPION.
HE WINS THE PRESIDENTS MATCH
AT SEA GRIT.

Lieut.. Wilson Is Unfortunate In His
Last score and the New Yorker
Has the Coveted Champfonshfp OF
Americn-Private Austin Does the
HOnOrs for Georgia, But Misses by
Three POints-GeOrgia Is Not hack
ward In HOnOrs, However.
Sea Girt, N. j., Sept. 4.-By three points
only New York won to-day the Pres
ident's match, deciding the military cham
pionship of the United States and Sergt.
Dolan of the Twelfth New York, is the
rifieman to whom all the credit is due. He
was hard pressed for first place by Private
Austin of the First Infantry, Georgia Vol
unteers. The match was one OF the most
exciting that has ever taken place on the
grounds of the New York Rifle Associa-
ton.
1t was not the prize of $50 in CASH that
induced thirty-two of the best rifle shots
in the country to enter, but the hope of
winning the championship of the United
States was what they We're after. The
first stage of the match was confined to
the 200 and 800 yard ranges The five hav-
ing the best scores were alone qualified
to enter the second stage, where the shoot
ing was done on the 800 and 600 yard tar
gets. The successful ones were Lieut.. f.
C. Wilson and Private Austin Of Georgia.;
Lieut.. Young of company A. Engineer
corps, of the District of Columbia, and
Sergts. Huddleson and Dolan Of the
Twelfth New York,
Wilson made the high score of 80 points
out of possible 100 on the two short
ranges. This score however, did not
count in the last stage. On the 500 range
Wilson, Austin, Dolan and Huddleson
each made a out of a possible so. while
Young fell far short OF expectations with
30. This small score did not deter him
from trying his luck on the longest range,
although 1t was plain to be seen he had
no chance Of winning.
When the five men went to the butts
to shoot the final round excitement was
at fever heat. 1t was expected by the
southerners that Wilson would win as he
is considered to be the best all round shot
on the ranges, but for some reason or
other he shot poorly and retired with
only 49, or a total of So in THE last stage.
With Wilson out of Il the Georgians pin
ned faith and the hopes on Private Aus
tin. A three in his score, however, put
him behind. Dolan took his time in shoot
ing and could not be ratified. He tried to
make clean score of so, but was unsuc-
eessful and the best he could do was As.
This put him three points ahead of Aus
tin, however. and the match was his. The
following Is the score Of the five contes-
tanfg on the several ranRaa.

NINE DOLLARS TO ATLANTA.
Further Cuts Made by the seabOard
Air Line.


Baltimore, Sept. 4.-The war of rates
waged by the Seaboard Air Line against
the Southern railway end other members
of the Southern States Freight Association
was reopened to-day with renewed vigor.
The Seaboard Air Line cut first-class
passenger fares to Atlanta to So; Chatta-
nooga, $1S10; Macon, $11.6S; Montgomery,
$1425; Birmingham, $l4, and New Orleans,
$23. IS. Rates to immediate points are also
reduced from 20 per cent. to 60 per cent.
1t is stated that q reduction of over 80 per
cent in freight rates will be made to-mor-
row. The cut made by the Suthern states
Freight Association of about 80 per cent,
which goes into effect tomorrow is sur
prising in that the reduction does not af-
feet all points reached by the interested
lines, but merely affects those points
which are reached also by the Seaboard
Air Line or what are known as competi-
tive points. This is said to be violation
of the long and short haul feature OF the
interstate commerce law, and this portion
of the law is it's main feature
Just how the interested companies are
going to get around the law in this in
stance is what is now interesting the Sea
board people. They claim that under the
law, If rates are cut to one point they
must be likewise reduced to all nearer
points. This is appears has not been done
by the associated line.
