ceived a petition from II. S. Chatfeld

sey City, Bayonne, Bernardsville and

Plans for the national rife matches
which will be shot at Sea Girt again
early in September. will shortly be
made by the officials of the wal de-
partment. The fact that it was again
decided to hold the national matches
at Sea Girt speaks well for the state
rife range of New Jersey, and lemon
strates its superiority over the range
at Fort Riley, where the matches
were held two years ago. The war
department officials would have pre-
ferred to have held the matches there
but the facilities were inadequate for
the crowd of rihemen that is expect
ed. The range at Sea Girt has been
greatly improved since last summer
and there will be a score of addition
al targets for use at the longer ran
ges. This work was done under the
direction of General Bird w. Spencer,
Inspector General of Rife Practice,
and also President of the National Ri
le Association.

ant general of New Jersey, has writ

Governor Stokes.

ceived invitations to the banquet
