Most of the prizes have been contributed
by merchants of this city, and in that
connection the National capital stands at
the head of those who contribute in that
manner to the encoura cement of rifle
shooting. The most coveted prize for in
dividual competition is the beautiful
medal presented annually by The Evening
Star Newspaper Company. With the ex-
ception of The Star badge more Magruder
medals adorn uniforms of District guards
men than any other. Mr.. John H. Ma

courager of skill with the rifle.
The r. Harris & Company trophy and
the medal presented by Lieut. John Doyle
Carmody are among the popular prizes in
the list.

the distinguished marksrnan medal, pre-
sented by Maj. E. H. Neumeyer, and the
trophy presented by Mr.. Ernst Gersten-
berg, and its accompanying medal, are
prizes which call for skill and nerve, as

range distances.
