The certain attendance of ninety
rifle teams, representing all cate
gories of the national defense forces,
and including twenty-seven State
civilian teams, which will probably
later be increased to 100, the prob
able attendance of some twenty city
police teams and many individual
competitors will~make the 1927 ma
tionaI matches the largest in the his
tory of this shooting tournament.
The unusual interest in these events
indicated by the early prospects of
such a large attendance is eXpecteS
to make competition exceptionally
