The National Match.

The Matches of the National Rifle Association at Camp Perry, Ohio, will begin on Monday, August 19, with the company team match. On Wednesday of that week the Presidents match will be shot. It will correspond in number of shots, distances and practi- cally in the order of fire with the na- tional individual match, but any am munition may be used Instead of the winner being designated military champion, as heretofore, that title will go to the contestant, who. having shot in the Presidents match and the na- tional individual, secures the highest aggregate score in both matches. A special prize and a letter from the President will go to the winner of this match. The N. R. A., after a careful consideration of the situation apper- taining to the holding of an intercol- tegiate competition for the intercolle- giate trophy, has decided that the time is not yet ripe for the holding of such a contest, with credit to the associa- ton and the colleges. There Is a quent lack of practice; hence not enough interest Is being taken in the contest by the colleges themselves Rather than make a failure of such a competition this year it has been decid ed to postpone the match until 1905 By next year rife shooting will have been more generally promoted among the universities and colleges, and more interest will likely be taken in such a contest.

Through the enterprise and enthusi- astic spirit of Captain George H. Todd, Jr.. the captain of Battery B, have the local commands had the opportunity of practice offered them. He has erected at his own expense and the labor of himself and the men of his battery, a very creditable 200 and 300 yard range at Electric Park and those who have desired to do so have had the .oppor- tunity for rifle and revolver practice necessary at those distances. The op- portunity has not been taken advan- tage of. as it should. have been but there has been some practice.

Captain Sam C. Pelham of Anniston. who was then the commanding officer of company D, Srd Regiment, made the best score at Sea Girt last year, and as he is now the Quartermaster on Colonel McKleroy's stan, 1t is hoped that he will be in the team again this year, and that he has had the neces- sary practice to keep his hand in and improve his shooting. Captain Pelham has taken much interest in establishing the range at Anniston and he will. no doubt, get up creditable representa- tion from his regiment to Fort Perry this year The other organizations will have to look to their laurels to do as we'll. The Alabama team will have new rifles this year and better scores will surely be made.
