With the limited funds at the disposal of the committee on re- ception it has been impossible to pre- pare and handle the demonstration which should be accorded the victors over teams from all shooting coun- tries, but this is more than offset by rae eourtesies which will be extend ed by the government. What the dem onstration may lack in splendor .win be made up in heartiness and in the unusual character of the welcome. l, Representative of the federal gov ernment in the presence of military and naval officers, of the state and city of New York, of the various militia organizations interested, and of the Nation Board for Promotion of Rifle Practice and the National Rifle Asso- ciation of America, together with a number of distinguished civilians in- terested in rife practice, will extend to the members of the team the con gratulations which they so thorough ly deserve.
