there would be balance of over s25OO.
and they ask that your committee limit
the expenses of the yacht race to an
amount not to exceed s250O and the
balance of $2497 be devoted to the
general fund of your committee.
"A written reply would be of SER
vice to this committee"

the secretary to write the committee
that their recommendation is approved.

voted to discussion of correspondence.

nolulu
Gentlemen: l have the honor to of
Ter the suggestion that this Territory
offer trophy to be called the 'Ha-
waiian Trophy" to be competed for
annually at the National Rifle Com
petitions. These competitions have been
provided for by the Congress of the
United States, and attract not only
thousands of rifemen from the vari-
Gus States and Territories, but thous-
ands of visitors to watch the shooting.
The progress made in the various
matches is telegraphed daily to all
parts of the United States and COM
mented on by the press, the eastern
papers especially devoting entire pages
to the report of the doings and stand
ing of the teams and individuals COM
peting. There are now five or six
trophies Zone being provided by Con-
gress and the others by States and in
dividuals) of the value of from five
hundred dollars to perhaps a thousand
dollars which are competed for an
nually, in addition to which cash prizes
are offered by the National Rifle AS
sociation of America the trophies be-
ing exhibited at the annual competi-
tions, and when won, taken by the
winning teams to their home States
and held in the custody of the Ad-
jutants General of such States, being
returned in time for the next compe-
tition.
In Offering such trophy this Ter
ritory would be placing itself in line
with the policy of the Executive and
Legislative branches of the Federal
government i'm its endeavor TO promote
rifle shooting, and at the same time
widely advertising itself annually for
the initial cost of the trophy.
Respectfully
