 Members Of the rife team which so ably upheld the honor Of the Con necticut National Guard al the ma. tional match a Camp Perry. O. from August IA to 30. are enthusiastic in competition All had fine time and enjoyed themselves immensely In speaking on the subject Lieutenant Townsend Whelen, [ s A, inspector instructor to the Connecticut Infantry regiments, who accompanied the fif- teen members Of the team in an ad- visory capacity. said that the team $ work was excellent its scores being about 70 per cent higher than those of any team that has represented the state In prior national competitions. ,"The team did not go out with any expectation Of winning" he said. and this was thoroughly understood from the first The team was selected from the fifteen men who did the best work in the school of musketry They practiced Just one week at the East Haven range. from August 6 to 13, and then left for Camp Perry, and from August l4 10 30 we were at the camp. Connecticut was represented in all the matches of the National Rifle association and also in the national matches The whole work of the team was undertaken with the idea of making them efficient Instructors in rife practice for the future instrue- ton Of the national guard
 Seven Prizes
 'In all. the members of the eounec- ticut team anneXed seven prizes ! which is certainly very creditable showing. Fortyfye teams part'ei pated in the matches and in one event there were $50 individual par tieipants, Connecticut would have won much better place had t not been for two things. The first was its weakness in surprise firing. We found on our arrival at Camp Perry that practically all of the other teams had been organized and praeticing for 1 from four to i've months prior to the \ matches, whereas our team had but one week It is easy enough under a good coach 10 teach men slow fir. ! ing. but to teach them to lie down and hit a target which is in sight only three seconds, requires consider 1 able time.
 A Bit of Hard Luck.
 Secondly. the team had a bit Of | hard luck in the skirmish firing On the morning Of the skirmish work the wind was quite strong: much stronger i than it had been on any other day The allowance for this wind was cor rectly judged, but fifteen seconds sf- ter the skirmish run was begun the wind increased greatly in strength and as a consequence many shots which would have hit were blown on. The team made a score of Tss points fin skirmish work. whereas former practice work showed that 1t should have been equal al least to sT56 points had the wind not increased"
