Alter Shooting is Over on
 the National Range EVENTS ON THE LATTER
The Nevada Match, Which Has Lapsed for Fifteen Years, Will Be Renewed A New Event In Which Maxim Silencer Will Figure.

New York, Aug. 15.-From Camp Perry, O., where the national rifle matches will be shot. a large number of the state and regular service teams will go to Sea Girt, N. J., to com- plcte in the matches of the New York. New. Jersey and Pennsylvania state rifle associations, which will be shot simultaneously from September 9 to II, inclusive.
 Those who have visited the range are looking forward with pleasure to the ten days to be spent there, and those who will make their first days pilgrimage have much in store for them. The North Jersey shore is at its best the first days of September, and the advantageous location of the Sea Gfrt range. which is only six miles below Asbury Park makes it easily accessible to all points along the coast to Atlantic Highlands. Twenty years, much money and un limited patience and cdre have been expended on the range to make it the model that it is, and no com fort or pleasure is lacking for the rifle enthusiast.
 Governor Fort will open his sum- mer home for a time during the matches and there will be the usual number of distinguished visitors. The Association of American InternatiOn- al Riflemen. which is limited to mem bers. alternates and officers of in- ternational teams, will hold its an- nual banquet during the matches. and there will be other social functions at the clubhouse of the New Jersey State Rifle association, both of for maj and informal character A his toric match will be review this year under the auspices of the intcrnation- al riflomen, who are the creme de Ia creme of the shooting world.
 It is the Nevada match. which has not been shot for fifteen years In the early '7Os some Nevada cnthusi- asts put up a trophy for long range shooting at 600. 900 and l.2O0 yards. It is composed of Nevada's products. gold and silver. and cost $500, with a sentimental value far in excess. For some reason the match was abandOn- ed in 1894, after having been rcgu- larly shot from 1875 to that date. Since then the old Springfield rifle has been abandoned. having been sue ceeded by the Krag and then by the new Springfield.
 Another new match will be the Maxim Long -range match at 1000 wards. in which the Maxim silencer is permitted. Mir. Maxim has given S20O and a gold medal for this match which will be shot under the auspices of the Pennsylvania State Rifle as sociation. Another match of particu- lar interest is that originated by Hugo Neuberger of New York. Swiss gentleman and paturally de- voted to rifle shooting. The condi- tions provide that the. competitor must drop out as soon as he misses the bulls eye. the prize, a hand some bronze of William Tell with his boy, going to the competitor. making the greatest number of bulls eyes This match will be shot at 800 yards knowing that the conditions at Sea Girt this year term as "tyros'' those who have never won a first prize in a national or state association meet ing. Heretofore no one has been admitted to tyro matches who ever won a first, second or third prize.
