NATIONAL SHOOTING
TOURNAMENT OPENS
Magnificent Prizes by Government and Others
FOrty-Three Teams Participating From
All Parts of the Country

Sea Girt, n. J., Aug. 24.-The great
national shooting tournament, under
the auspices of the National Board
for the Promotion of Rifle Practice,
opened at the Sea Girt National Rifle
Range, this morning 1t is the third
tournament of its kind ever held in
this country under the law of con-
gress authorizing these competitions
in craftsmanship, and providing for
the requisite funds for holding them.
How much the interest in these an
nual tournaments has increased is ap-
parent from the fact that only fifteen
teams competed in the tournament
in the fall of 1903, four Of them be-
ing from the army and navy. Ohio
and Michigan were the only states
which sent complete teams. At the
tournament in 1904, which was held at
Fort Riley, Kan, nineteen teams took
pant, while this year fOrty-three teams,
representing nearly every state in the
Union, Hawaii and the District OF
Columbia, have been entered, besides
teams from the U. S. infantry and
cavalry, the navy, the marine service,
and the academies at West Point and
Annapolis.
The present meeting is held under
the supervision of General w. p. Hall,
U. S. A., one Of the members of the
National Board for the Promotion of
Rifle Practice, representing the gov
/ eminent. Captain Rhodes of the gen
eral staff is post adjutaut, and Lieut..
Albert S. Jones, secretary Of the Ma
tiOnal Rifle Association, and two
army officers will act as statistical
officers. Capt Alvin H. Graft, First
Regiment, n. j., National Guard, is
post quartermaster, and Capt. HOf is
ordnance officer. Congress has ap-
propriated $4,000 to defray expenses
OF the tournament and the state Of
New Jersey and the National Rifle
Association have also contributed lib
orally to insure the success of the
event
The riflemen of the various teams
and individual. crack shots began TO
arrive here last week and found every
thing ready for their reception. A city
of tents has been erected back of the
range which will give ample accom-
modation to all the sharpshooters al
ready here and those who will arrive

The earl of Mimic, who has been
appointed to succeed Lord Curzon
as viceroy of India, is one of the
popular men of England who is al
ways holding down a big job, mostly
because he is a good fellow.
His term as governor general of
Canada expired late in 1904, after sew
eral extensions. The Canadians made
vigorous efforts to keep him, but it
was against the policy of the British
government to keep him there longer.
He is generous spender, demo-
cratic, tactful and diplomatic. The
general opinion is that he will manage
his conduct so that there will be no
chance of a quarrel between himself
and the stern and silent Kitchener.
Lady Mimic has superintended the
social side of their lives with the
same skill that her husband has dis
played in politics.

Upon taking the check to the bank it
was turned down, as the drawer had
no funds on deposit.
Garcia then started out to look for
Vigil and met him on the street and
told him about the worthless check

ing apparel showed long usage.
She said she was fifty-four years
old, and formerly lived at Harrods-
burg, KY, where she married William
Nuckles, seventeen years ago. They
lived together in a manner until ten
years go. Mrs. Nuckle claims her hus-
band has frequently sent her word
that he hoped to live to get out of
prison so that he could kill her.
Nuckles' term will end this week,
and Notwithstanding her destitute
condition, Mrs. Nuckles decided to flee
rather than run the risk of his carry
ing out his threats, which she believes
he will do if he can find her. Her
destination is being kept a secret
