 The Executive Committee of the Ma tionai Rife Association of America, at Its meeting held September 2s. con- sidered question of testimonial to the members of the American Rifle team. which recently defeated Canada, Australia and England in the Palma trophy match at Ottawa. Tn view of the magnificent performance of the team there. when it not only defeated all comers. but established . new world record, and in consideration of the fact that the members of the team made many sacrifices to prepare them selves, and to take part in the contest, 1t was felt that they were entitled to substantial recognition.
 4 number of gentlemen interested in rifle practice in the country, having expressed to the President of the Asso- citation their desire to participate in such recognition as should be given to the team. 1t was decided by the com mlttee to open a public subscription for the purpose. Subscriptions should be sent to Lieutenant Albert S. Jones, Secretary. 299 Broadway. New York.
 It Is thought by the Committee that in no other way could the apprecia- ton of the rifiemenr Of the country be better shown than in this manner. The funds received will be used to purchase gold medals for the members of the Victorious team.

Riae rractice Here.

Rifle practice has gained much head way among the, National Guard of Ala bama and ranges at home stations IS now regarded and the most important and necessary step in its promotion. There is available about s2,o00 from last years fund and about $11.0e0 from this years. in all about $13.000. which is sufficient to have a range at the home station of every company in Ala bama. The captains of the different companies should take steps at once to get an option for purchase or lease on available places for a range and take the steps to acquire 1t without delay. 1t does seem possible for a range to be secured at every place and with some extra exertion and the pos sible expenditure of a small sum a range can be made. It is worth the effort.

Petitions to an Emperor.

One OF the most interesting features
OF the emperor's visit was the number
OF petitions which were. so to speak.
thrown at him during his fortnight's
stay. Scarcely once did his majesty
drive out from the Hradschin without
somebody attempting to present an
appeal. Usually the petitioner was a
small child and occasionally a woman.
Most OF the requests were for ne.
cuniary assistance. The emperor was
always extremely courteous. and
when, as frequently happened. the let
ter missed the carriage and fell into
the road he invariably ordered the
coachman to stop while the document
was brought to him The household
chancery is now dealing with some.
thing more than hundred petitions
thus unceremoniously presented. All
OF them are carefully investigated, and

done for the Prague CORE
