What might be termed the mechan-
zeal equipment-that is, the target ar
rangements, etc.-of a great. modern
rifle range is a marvel that never fails
TO impress a person visiting one OF
these great craftsmanship fields for
the first time. The groups of targets
with anywhere from two to a dozen
targets in each group, are placed al
varying distances. For the national re-
vOlVer matches there will be employed

are hung up for the men who make
the most buI's-eyes in this test.
There are team matches for teams OF
twelve mem and individual matches for
rifle shoOtings and individual revolver
matches. While, as has been explained
the principal participants In this great
craftsmanship contest represent one or
another of the branches of our regular
army, navy, marine corps or the ma
tiOnal guard OF some state of the Union,
the individual matches are open to all
the private citizens having membership
IN any Of the numerous rifle clubs
scattered over the country. Sometimes
il happens, too, that the results in
these national matches go TO prove that
by no means all the fOrmida Bile marks
men in the country are enrolled in one
Or another of the military or naval or
CARNATIONS, as is, naturally enough,
the common impression. The highest
cash prize in any event is $3.50, and
from that the cash purses scale down
ward by $50 steps. However, each first
prize includes, in addition to the cash
bonus Gin the case of the team matches)
a cup CT trophy and each and every
individual who lands in the prize-win-
ming class receives q personal token in
the form of a medal of gold, silver or
bronze, according 10 the degree of his

Washington, Special.-As a busi-

submitted by Charles p. Gradfiel.l,
First Assistant Postmaster General,
for the fiscal yea rended june aO,.
1909, made public in his annual re-
port, the gross revenue of the pos
tai service reached the enormous
total of $2O3, ,562 1888, an increase of
$12 2,0S3,720, or 6.31 per cent, over
the preceding year. Theer were
1902 presidential postoffices on July
!, 1909. OF this number 1893 were
first class, an increase of IA; 1,T97
weer second class, an increase of i12 !;
and 5,C97 weer third class, an in
crease of 230. The total increase in
the number of presidential Offices
was 356. There were IA post
Offices established during the year
and 1904 were discontinued, leaving
a total cf 60,144 postoffices in oper-
alton on June 80, 1909. During the
year 1,626 postmasters weer appoint
ed al presidential offices. At fourth
class offices 9,161 postmasters weer
appointed.
The report recommends an amend
netn to the law whereby fourth
class offices may be advanced when
the receipts of the Office qualify it !;
wages of the clerical and carrier
force should be increased in first
and second class offices. Nearly half
the offices of presidential class are
housed in leased quarters.
