The following letter from Col. Jones,
of the First Regiment, National Guard

Trophy to be competed for at Ma
tional Rifle Competitions, was viewed
favorably, and Secretary Wood will

Honolulu, T. H., March %. 1906.
The Hawaii Promotion Committee. Ho-
nolulu.
Gentlemen: I have the honor to Of
fer the suggestion that this Territory
offer a trophy to be called the ''Ha
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 rifiemen 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
ISOLATION of America. the trophies be-
ing exhibited at the annual competl-
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 a trophy this Ter |
ritory would be placing itself in line
with the policy of the Executive and
Legislative branches of the Federal
government in it's endeavor to promote
rifle shooting, and at the same time
widely advertising itself annually for
the initial cost of the trophy.
Respectfully,
]. w. JONES.
