Sea Girt. N. j. The District in past years
has accomplished great things in the way
of rifle shooting, and last September won
the most important match at Sea Girt--
that for the Hilton trophy-with a score
that shattered the worlds record. During
the coming meet, however. the local sharp
shooters will find it necessary to battle
right royalty. for in the list of competitors
are teams that have been diligently at
work since early spring, spurred on by
determination to capture the coveted Hill
ton shield if such lies within the range of
possibility. There seems to be no doubt
that the coming matches will be the most
spirited in the history of the association.
The District detachment which is to leave
the city to morrow will include, in addition
to the brigade teams, three regimental
teams. at least five company teams and a
large number of guardsmen, the latter taxi
ing the trip as individuals. The many
ladies who are also going will make their
headquarters at ASbury Park. which is but
a few miles north of Sea Girt. The Dis
trict detachment has always been referred
to by the others at Sea Girt as that Wash
ington army but this year it will far sur
pass in numbers the representation of any
one year ip the past.
