Those who VIII Contest.


The officials of the New Jersey State
Rifle Association have been advised that
the District of Columbia. New Jersey,
Georgia and New Hampshire viii be repre-
senJed in the Hilton trophy and interstate
matches, which are the big events of the
coming meeting.
New jerseys team is believed to be some
what better this year than it has been
since 1894. The District of Columbia has
lost Graham, Kutterky and Dr. Scott and
is not looked upon as being so strong a
team as it was in 1896. New Hampshire is
practcing at Nashua and is an unknown
quantity. The Georgia team is fully as
good this year as 1t has ever been, and no
efforts will be spared TO secure all the
prizes.
There will be a goodly number of teams
In the regimental match. Georgia will
have four, New Jersey expects to enter al
least four, the Seventh Regiment of New
York is expected TO have one or two
teams, the District of Columbia will send
three, New Hampshire will be represented
and SO will Pennsylvania.
In the carbine match there are four
entries now booked. The. Georgia Hus-
sars, the Governors Horse Guard of At
lanta. the Essex Troop of Newark, and
the Monmouth Troop of New Jersey will
each have team.
GeOrgians Eat Too Much.
Prior TO the arrival of the Georgia team
arrangements had been made for il to Sc
cure meals at the restaurant on the
grounds but after one day the restaurant
proprietors complained that they could not
keep the contract without losing money.
In consequence Capt. Williamson made ar
engagements for boarding the team at the
Beach House. and il is a happy change,
