the Tontine hotel. The New Haven
Gun club have added 5000 cash in prizes.
All the purses will be divided by the
Rose system into four moneys. The
Rose system of dividing purses may
be briefly explained as follows: For
each scheduled event rule a page off
into six columns. Decide upon the
number of money into which the purse
is to be divided, and then find the ratio
into which II will be divided from the
following table: If into two moneys,
at the ratio of s to 3; three moneys,
at the ratio of and to 3; four moneys,
at the ratio of 8, 3 and 2 to l; five
moneys, at the ratio Of 8, 8. 3 and TO l;
six moneys, at the ratio OF Is, 8, and
2 to /.
In the first column enter the names
of the shooters; in the second column
place their respective scores; then as
certain the place obtained by each
shooter; first. second, third, fourth. fifth
or sixth as the case may be- and put In
the third column the number of points
to which he is entitled. AT the bottom
of this column figure UP the total num-
Der Of points. dividing the net purse by
that sum in order to find the value of a
point. In the fourth column place the
value Of this point. In the fifth column
place the amount due each man, check
ing it off as soon as the amount Is paid,
or the cash equivalent placed in the
pay envelope. The sixth column is util-
lied for figuring the net purse and for
finding the value Of each point.
