LOST HILTON TROPHY.
But the Georgians Had No Reason to Blush Washington Won It at the
 Long Range.

Sea Girt, N. J., Sept. 3.-Those who were fortunate enough to see the close of the Hilton trophy match at Sea. Girt this afternoon will never forget the excite ment occasioned by it. The teams from Georgia and the District of Columbia were the leaders and interest centered almost entirely in them. The southern CTS and the Washington men were tied, with total of 1910 points in the 200 800 and 500 ranges, but the matches were decided and awarded to the latter team for having made the highest score on the longest range.
 The Georgians took their defeat good naturedly and were cheered over and over again for the good showing they made. The day was anything but fla vorable for good shooting.
 The winners of the regimental inter state, Columbia and Jersey national guard matches were announced this aft ernoon. The first battalion, Georgia Vol unteers, won the first named, with a to- tai of 1594, beating the District of Co., lumbia by 30 points. Lieut.. D. c. Wilson made 9S out or possible 100 in one run.

Indianapolis May Be Headquarters.

Indianapolis, Sept. 3.-The new nation al committee assembled at the Grand hotel shortly after adjournment. Messrs. Tracy of New York and Cable of Illinois were appointed a committee to escort Messrs. Palmer and Buckner to the hotel. About 5:3O o'clock the candidates appear ed. They made no extended remarks, conflning themselves to an exchange of greetings with the members. A consid- erable sentiment was expressed in favor of Indianapolis as headquarters for the campaign.
 It was decided that the notification of candidates should take place at Louis ville on the 18th instant.
 MT. Bynum said as the committee had adjourned that he did not expect to name the members of the executive committee before next week.
 Hardly had the convention adjourned before the delegates began pouring out of Indianapolis. Every road leading out of the city was taxed to It's limits and in many instances delegates were compell- ed to remain over owing to the crowded condition of the trains.

DOWN A TRIPLE DECK HILL.
ExhiIarating and Exciting Coasting Contest
 Witnessed by Hundreds.

The coasting contest under the aus pices of the Birmingham Cycle club yes- terday afternoon was great success. The event was witnessed by about 25O people on wheels and a large number in carriages.
 The place selected for the contest was an admirable one, being what is termed triple deck hill on the Lookout moun- tain course four miles from this city.
 There were thirty-two entries and the ytctors were Messrs. Ed Warren, Jr., Mccullough and Norris in the order named.
 The judges were Messrs. George D. Allison Richard F. Johnston, M. A. Por- ter and O. W. Underwood.
 The greatest record over a half mile was that of Warren, which was 21S feet
 There were three repeat trials between Warren, Heinze, Herzog, Riddle, Norris and Mccullough Norris won the first heat, Mccullough the second and Warren the third, he in this heat making the greatest record.
 The affair passed off very pleasantly.
