Brigadier General Bird W. Spencer. president

and Lieutenant Albert S. Jones. secretary, are
in communication with the customs authorities
Of the Dominion of Canada endeavoring to de-
liver the Palma trophy which the Canadian
marksmen at the rife shooting tournament
which held at Sea Girt last September. For
some reason other the Canadian authorities
cannot see their way to admit the trophy. and
while General Spencer and all the other Ameri

which is embematc of the International team
championship. they are more than anxious TO
deliver it to the Canadian shooters who so clev-
erly won it
General Spencer said yesterday that he had
no doubt that the Canadian customs officers
would surely find loophole through which the
emblem could be admitted 10 the Canadian Do
minion, and he also has hopes that before next
