 Navy Team Leads Army.

Wakefield, Mass, July 29-The New England interstate match for the New England interstate trophy and medals and the army-navy interstate match for cash prizes both shot under the same conditions, were the leading fea- lures of todays shooting at the New England meet. In both matches the 200, 500 and 800 yards ranges slow fire, were completed today, while the 1000 yards slow fire, 200 yards rapid fire and skirmish run went over until tomorrow. At the end of today's shootifg the Massachusetts team was in the lead in the New England match with a total score of 1872, while in the army-navy contest the navy first team led with 1,632. The Massachu- setts team was entered in both con- tests, it's score counting the same in each. Governors Draper of Massa- chusetts and Quimby of New Hamp- shire were guests at the range today,
 The scores follow:
 New England Interstate Match Massachusetts 1,612, Maine 1,569, New Hampshire 1884, Connecticut 1,555, Rhode Island 1,422.
 Capt. Stuart Wise, whose record breaking shooting yesterday was the feature of the day, had made twenty consecutive bullseyes in the Shuman re-entry match at 800 yards up to to- night, and has the privilege of trying to add to this score tomorrow.
 The Connecticut team at the 200 range made 5Os, being the third in the list for the army navy interstate shoot and second for New England teams. They dropped back in the 600-yard shoot, getting but 514, and finishing seventh in the army navy, but fourth in the New England contest, both con- tests being shot together. At the 800 yard range they secured 532.
 A revision of the cards in the re- entry match in which Capt. Stewart Wise figured as a record breaker, re- suited in the announcement today that Captain Wise's actual score was SO consecutive bullseyes and not 62, as announced unofficially last evening" This still makes Captain Wise the rec ord holder, the best previous figure having been 57, made by Col. Charles D. Winter of Columbus, O., at the national shoot at Camp Perry, Ohio, last year.
 Captain Wise,s remarkable score was made as follows: On Tuesday, preceding the ten shots for the record in the 800 yards. two sighting shots were required. Captain Wise scored bullseyesy on both of these. He fol- lowed with ten bullseyes, making the possible fifty in the record shooting The rules permit that any man making a possible shall continue shooting un- til he gets out of the bullseyes~ Cap tain Wise continued and had added fourteen more making a total score of 26 bullseyes. when the officer in charge of the range announced that the tar gets were closed.
 Yesterday, resuming without prelim- mary practice, Captain. Wise added thirty four bullseyes, making a total of sixty consecutive shots. On the sixty first shot he scored a 5, break ing the run. While the previous rec ord was made in continuous firing, the fact that there was break at Wake field, because of the closing of the ranges, did not affect Captain Wise's record, it is said.
 Captain Wise is well known here, being crack shot in the employ of the Hopkins & Aliens Arms Co., as a demonstrator- of their guns.
