but could not keep up the pace on ac>
count Of lack Of practice. President

volver Club is a member Of the National
Rifle Association Of America, the parent

volver clubs Its Tpembers have the

volvers. any ammunition: each string
OF five shots to be fred in two minutes.
The National Capital Club has offered
a cup, the team taking the best three
out of I'VE matches viii keep the trophy.
At present there are twenty trying to
make the team that viii shoot the next
match. The scores Of each person are
kept and the ten having the highest
scores at the end Of the trials will make
up the team. Among the most promis-
ing who are out for the team are Lieu
tenant Ferree, Farrow, Summers, Police
man Bum, one of the most noted shots
with a revolver in the country; Police
man Buckingham, BischOff, Morris,
Reicheldetfer, Macdanneil, Heidenreieh,
and Alderman. The trials viii be held
