IN SMALL BORE RIFLE SHOOTING
CONTEST ENGLISH PROVE
SUPERIORITY.
With Score of 1883, They Win
Easily From Uncle Sans Men,
Whose Score Is 14,179.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 15.-The
superiority of the riflemen of Great
Britain on the gallery range, has been
demonstrated by the overwhelming vic
tory of the British team in the Inter-
national Small Bore Match just ended.
When the American rifle team was
in England last summer at the Olym-
pic games, General James A. Drain,
president of the National Rifle associa-
ton and captain of the team. was APP
preached by the secretary of the Socl-
ETY. of Miniature Rifle clubs of Great
Britain with a proposition to hold a
friendly international cable match with
small bore rifles on gallery ranges,
which was Immediately accepted.
The conditions of the match were

shots at IS feet on a target having a
IL inch counting bulls-eye, the rifle
used not to be over .230 calibre.

ed trophy which will be held by the
country winning it until the next con-
test, and each member of both teams
are to receive a medal commemorative
of the event. After the conditions were
decided upon, Australia was allowed
to come into the contest.
A cable has just been received from
the British association announcing the
fact that their team has made the
grand total of 1853 points out of a
possible $4,000, or an average Of 291
per man.
The score of the American team was
14179 showing that we were beaten by
404 points or s points per man. Aus
tralia has not yet been heard from, but
it is hardly probable that their scores
will equal those of the British team.
In view of the fact that the American
team was made up of some of the best
known experts of this country it is
hard to explain why we are so inferior
to our British cousins in this style of
shooting.
The high score man of the American
team was w. E. Reynolds, of New York
City, who made the magnificent total of
298 points, out of a possible 800. A
few of the nigh score men on the
American team were Theodore Gabriel

mean trick of congress in refusing to
create the post of under secretary Of
state, is apparently in training for a
sprint when he gets back on the high
way again.
AS assistant secretary of the navy he
is following Mr.. Newberry's regime.
In this respect he is much different
from the secretary, George Won L..
Meyer, who appoints board whenever
he wants to fsnd out about something.
The assistant secretary is finding out
for himself. He is poking his nose into
the navy yards and hospitals and prov
ing grounds and discovering what they
are there for and how near they come
to doing it. He comes early and stays
late. Without committing himself he
is analyzing the line and staff con-
troversy and the marine question and

the armor-belt problem. If he ever
steps into the office of secretary of the
navy as Newberry did, he will be on to
all the fine points of the game as New
berry was.
Secretary Meyers methods are differ
ent He is deliberative. BY the time
he arrives at his office there are six
admirals, two civilians, chief clerk
and General Elliott, commandment of the
marines, waiting for him.
They have become good walters. The
tide of discussion and controversy may
surge at the doors but they do not open
the more quickly for all that. The sec
rotary must be sure before he makes an
announcement. He takes his morning
rides and his afternoon affairs with tre-
mendous gravity. The office apparently
has no humorous aspect for him. On
the other side where Beekman Win

taneous laughter pour forth
