S Prizes gre kept down to inexpensive trinkets. ln England the standard prize seems to be silver spoon, worth perhaps a dollar. In cases where wealthy men have offered valuable prizes to encour- age competition among clubs the ride- mcn have said that they would much rather have improved ranges and fa- ,u.ucs for practice.
 Special matches, particularly shoul- der to shoulder matches with neigh. boring clubs. are interesting and fur uish an indirect motive for practice, .uasuuCh as the honor Of shooting for 1ue's club is generally coveted. TeleS 5-Jphic and mail matches are a some- what less interesting substitute for shoulder to shoulder matches.
 Match teams are usually selected and controlled by the club captain, who sAould be elected annually Unsedsh enthusiasm and a suave temperament re more essential qualifications in
 aQtaia than great skill in shooting. indeed, it is on many grounds prefer able that the captain himself should .ot shoot in matches. In selecting cam he should give preference tO con- 3isteut shots rather chan to those who lre in the habit of alternating more brilliant performances with bud breaks, and when meeting weak op- 1oneuts should take the opportunity of encouraging the more promising of his improving members by including them u his team.
 Hats of to the Ladips,
 Your club should be conducted for In classes and give everybody ample cope. according to his sbTl. The wom- en and girls can give tone to the club by their presence, even though they are ou the range but one night a week They are splendid organizers, too, and .le club that has their cooperation and interest is fortunate.
 Women and girls now participate In bowling everywhere, and rifle shoot. Ing calls for far less physical exer- lion and undoubtedly gives great ar scope for skill based on good nerves and good thinking Womens work in sewing and similar feminine occupations makes tlcireyes uu1r than those Ot most men. With a little pruc- ice they learn to shoot very well. In Le New York high schools many of he girls quaI.g as "mlrksmen." Make your appeal remembering that wom- au are proud of their achievements IS women.
 A good rifle club should be some thing more than am organization Tor he benefit of its members alone. It can be made a very fine influence n its community am encouragement To clean living and the abandonment lf bad habits, the best possible train ng for both the body and mind, a cen- er for men and women, boys and girls, m outlet for energies that might not be expended SO hcalthny if 1t were not n existence and something upon which Inc community can often be united on . basis Of community spirit.
