The New England Military Rife asso-

the New England states. Maine. New
Hampshire. Vermont. Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and Connecticut, with a
rife range at Wakefield, Mass.
In all probability the contest for the
interstate trophy in the state team
match will be between this state and
Massachusetts,. In the national matches
at Fort Riley. Kas.. last year the Rhode
Island team defeated the Massachusetts
team by narrow margin so that this
: wear there will be plenty OF rivalry be-
/ tween the two states.
/ In addition TO the different team
I matches scheduled there are a large num-
+ ber OF individual matches in which many
/ Of the local militiamen have entered. All
I told. the local party at the shoot will
number between 80 and - men.
In addition TO the state team match
there IS regimental team match in
which teams are entered from both the
First and Second Regiments Of Infantry
az this state. The First Regiment team is
