Each team will be issued the ammunition brought by it This en ables the team to order their ammuni tion from the government for the spring practice and the match at the same time, thus providing that the same ammunition will be shot in the match as in practice and preventing any teams from using superior am munition. One reason for the change was that it is scarcely likely that pri vate manufacturers will be able to supply ammunition for the 1903 rifles in time for spring practice. The order of fire has .been again changed, the skirmish run, which was first on the program last year, has been placed between the 800 yard and the 1,000 yard stages. The order of fire will be 200-slow, 200-rapid, 600 slow, 800-sfow, one skirmish run and 1 ,000-yards slow fire Under the rules one-third of the members, of a prize winning team are disqualified for the next three competitions, and these four men must be those who have par ticipated in the greatest number of natural watches. This rule has been qualified so that a person el iminated under it and who has been out three years and thus became el igible again,! shall be considered as a new member. This means should the team again be a winning team his participation in former national contests will not count against him. For the benefit of weaker States the rule requiring 75 per cent of milit ary duty for members of the team is modified to permit States not here tofore competing to send teams whose members shall have. 75 per cent of military duty for the preceding six months instead of one year, to their credit The Board has also increased the number of medals for the Individ ual Match and will give twelve medals each of gold silver and bronze, so that 36 competitors will receive med- als instead of 12 as heretofore. The cash prizes remain the same. ! . In the Pistol Match, Target A 1 will be used for slow, timed and rapid fire At 200 yards it is more than pro bable Target A will be used instead of Target F. A most important cha nge has been made in the matters of skirmish targets. The silhouettes!, will be placed on a B target so that the base of the figures shall be one foot above the crest of the bank when the target is in place. The skirmish target at Camp Perry last year were considered ideal bufas comparatively few ranges admit of such targets and all can be equipped with silhouettes on the B targets, the change was made for the benefit of all. RIFLE PRACTICE. (Continued from page 2.) will be permitted to bring ammuni tion to the match in original sealed packages.
