WASHINGTON, D. c, May 80

WASHINGTON, d. c, May So
Arrangements are being completed
by the National Rifle Association oi
America for sending a rifle team to
London to complete in the Olympic
Games. The U. S. Cartridge Com
pany has come forward with a gener-
GUS offer TO pay the entire expenses
of the team which will consist Of six
members with probably two alter
mates, captain and quartermaster,
Gen. James A. Drain, president OF the
National Rife Association, has been
selected as captain OF the team and in
this manner double purpose will be
served for while in England Gen.
Drain will meet the representatives
OF all the foreign governments COM
peting in the rifle matches and make
arrangements as far as possible for
the Palma Trophy Match to be shot
in this country in 1909, Should the
plans of the N, r. A. be successfully
executed, as no doubt they will, the
Palma Match of next year will be the
greatest contest ever held for this
renowned trophy, now in the posses
sion of the United States
Letters have been sent to the ad
iutants general of all states and ter
Titories, to the heads of the official
military establishments, to civilian
clubs and others, notifying them OF
the preliminary contests to be held
for places on the team. These will
probably be held on three ranges in
order to attract the largest possible
number Of competitors. The ranges
selected are Camp Perry, Ohio; Sea
Girt, New Jersey, and Wakefield,
Mass. A number of the best shots
will be selected from each competi-
ton to meet on an Eastern range
shortly prior to the sailing of the
team, where the final competition will
be held. The team will then be
selected and will have a few days
practice before sailing. 1t is under
stood the government rifle will be
used together with ammunition of the
=. s. Cartridge Company, similar to
that furnished by this Company to the
government, although in view OF the
Importance OF these matches it is
possible the u S. Cartridge Comp
any may supply ammunition especial.
iy designed for the purpose, which is
allowable under the rules governing
the matches. The team will probab
" be accompanied by number OF
enthusiasts on rifle practice as was
the case when tthe Palma team went
abroad some years ago. In addition
to the team match at 200, 500, 600,
800, 900, and 1000 yards, there will
be a team match at 800 meters and
an individual competition at 1000
yards, to which the entries are limited !
TO II from each county. The match
es will be shot on the famous Bisley !
range.

The movement for schoolhoy rifle
practice received a powerful impetus
from the schoolboy matches held in
| Washington recently The National
Capital Rifle and Revolver club, a
small but energetic organization and
numbering among its members some
of the best pistol shots in the coun
try, undertook the task OF conducting
the tournament The newspapers CO.
operated heartily, the Evening Star
and Washington Times giving hand
some silver cups to be competed for
annually until won three times. There
were company, battalion and inter
school shoots, with competitions on
the sub-target gun and competitions
for officers and for individual prizes.
Speaking OF the competition Secre-
tary A. S. Jones in his report to the
National Rifle Association, says:
The National Capital Rife and Re-
volver Club ranges are the best !
have seen for contests OF this nature.
They are located at the end of the
drill hall and are 10 in number, Rec
ord shooting is carried on iron tar
gets but for this shoot the Meyns
system of overhead trolleys to carry
the target to and from the backstop-
was installed and gave quick and ef.
icent service. The shooting was all
done at fifty feet and on the ~ r. A.
targets with one inch bulls eye. All
matches were shot in strings Of ten
shots for which charge Of five cents
was made The new p caliber U, S.
Army rifle was used and again dem
onstrated its efficiency 1t carried
a p caliber short cartridge, OF which
all the different makes were used,
the elevations being the same.
About 5000 targets were used and
10000 rounds Of ammunition expend-
ed. Nearly 400 boys participated and
l4S qualified as Junior Marksmen and
received medals. SO much interest
was created by this shoot, which was
originally designed for the white
companies of school cadets, that the
colored schools took it up and
matches between the two colored
high schools were held extending
over four nights and under the same
auspices. A list OF prizes was secur-
very favorably with that for the white |
schools and the scores were about
the same. The prizes for the white |
schools were presented at the close
OF the match but the colored schools |
arranged special meeting for thei- |
exercises, which was attended by |
representative OF the club tthe n. |
R. A. and the War Department |
Gen. James A. Drain presented the
prizes in both instances. Boston Is |
arranging for a schoolboy tourna-
ment in the fall and Denver has been
one although not under
the auspices OF the N. R. A. The
Denver City Troop furnished the
medals and the match was shot on its
range. A large number Of the cadets
and national guard officers were pres
ent as spectators and the interest ex
ceeded that anticipated by those pro.

MORE SEWER TALK

The town hall was well filled at
the ajourned meeting Wednesday
to further consider the sewer
proposition. The committee APP
pointed a week ago to canvass the
town made Il report of n partial
canvass. The report was accepted
and the committee continued to
complete the canvass.
The meeting was then opened
for general discussion. Some of
the arguments against the sewer
proposition we're based upon
hypothesis that do not exist.
But the contention that the
whole town is in such poor sani-
tary condition - to warrant the
expenditure Of e44,529.46, during
the present year, Dies not seem to
b. sustained by the facts. An
other objection that is well taken
10 that the proposed method of
taxation is unjust and unfair.
The claim that but small per
cent Of the ownsEs of residences
are not able at this time and con-
sequently would not connect with
q sewer in case one is built, is
doubtless true. A3
1t became apparent during the
discussion that ~ town trustees
were proceeding upon assump-
tions that are not tenable. viz:
that the sanitary conditions are
such as to justify the board in
going to the expense Of building
main sewer 9,lG5 feet and laterals
u, ass feet-a total Of I miles and
1862 feet-without first submit
ting the proposition to vote OF
the taxpayers or lot owners with
out regard to the value Of the lots.
A little careful investigation will
also satisfy every man and woman
in town that this assumption is
false. 1t il true there are spots in
town where the sanitary condition
il such Rs to demand drainage.
but there is also large area that
has no had sanitary condition and
scrss Of unimproyed lots that need
no drainage.
One year ago II sewer PROPOSE.
ton was voted down at the gen
eral election and during the talk
Wednesday nigh, i, WAS said that
the board commenced in February
to discuss n plan by which
sewer could liz built this year and
the town attorney was asked to
devise some scheme looking TO
that end. Lawyers can often ac-
commoslate their clients by finding
laws that will suit them and the
attorney in this case was equal to
the occasion. He construed the
statute of 1889 10 mean that II the
bDarl VI trustees were of the
opinion that the sanitary condi.
tiony of the town demanded n
sewer system they could 20 ahead
and build such system M they
