BIG RIFLE MATCHES A
SEA GIRT RANGE
WILL BE A MECCA FOR MANY
EXPERT RIFLEMEN IN
SEPTEMBER.
FINE TROPHIES ARE OFFERED
The Range Has Been Extended and
Improved, Low Railway Rates Se
cured, and Big Attendance is Look
ed For Early Next Month.
SEA GIRT RANGE, N. J., Aug
29. Of scarcely less importance to
the military world than the great na
tional matches now in progress at
Camp Perry, Ohio, are those which
will take place at Sea Girt, N. J., from
September 4 to 12 inclusive. The
beautiful Sea Girt range has always
been a Mecca for ambitions marks
men and this year a program has been
arranged which for richness and at
tractiveness compares very tavoraoiy
.with any ever shot. During the eigh
teen years of its existence the New
Jersey State Rifle Association has ac
cumulated a number cf cups and tro
phies and its strong financial backing
enables it to give the largest number
of cash prizes offered by any State
association. Its tournament will be
.this yearas for many years past, un
der the personal supervision of Gen
eral Bird W. Spencer, so long presi
dent of the National Rifle Association,
who will be executive officer of the
meeting. In addition to the New Jer
sey matches, those of the New York
State Rifle Association and the Uni
ted States Revolver Association will
will be held at the same time. The
range at Sea Girt, always the most
commodious and best equipped, has
been extended and improved, reduced
railroad rates have been secured, and
a large attendance is guaranteed.
The most important match will be
for the Dryden Trophy, a magnificent
piece of bronze, presented by Ex
Senator Dryden, to be competed for
by teams of ' eight from the same
branches of the military service eligi
ble to the National Trophy Match. It
is shot at 200, 600 and 1000 yards. The
trophy carries with it cash prizes of
. from $50 to $150. The Interstate Reg
imental Match for the Briggs Tro
phy, presented by Senator Briggs, of
New Jersey, will be shot at the same
v distance by teams of six. With the
trophy goes a medal to each man on
the winning team with cash prizes to
the second, third and fourth teams.
The company team match for teams
of five to 200 and 500 yards carries
. cash prizes with medals for the first
three teams. For the non-winners
there will be a Company Team Match
(Tyro) for teams of three, the prize
being the Peters Trophy which goes
to the winning team with gold medals
to the members Silver and bronze
medals are given to the members of
the scond and third teams. In .the
Columbia Trophy Match teams of
six will compete at 200, 500, 600 and
. 800 yards for medals and cash prizes
in addition to the Trophy. Teams of
five will compete in the Cavalry Team
Match which is restricted to the cav
alry, signal corps and engineer corps
of the army and National Guard. Here
again the prizes are gold, silver and
bronze medals, accompanied by cash.
An interesting event, established last
year, is the Gould Rapid Fire Team
match for which the trophy was pre
sented in memory of Arthur C,
Gould, "a friend of rifle practice." This
is for teams of six and the conditions
are unique in that they provide for a
skirmish run and ten shots rapid fire
at 200 yards.
As a general proposition the Sea
Girt Matches for individuals are open
to civilians as well as military men,
thus providing a larger field and more
interesting competition than would
otherwise be the case. Prominent
among these is the Sea Girt Champi
onship match for a medal presentd by
Gov. Fort of N. J., accompanied by a
line of cash prizes. Another is the
Individual Rapid Fire Match at 300
yards in which the competitors are
permitted to fire as many shots as
possible in one minute. This will pro
vide an interesting test for the New
Springfield rifle. The All-Comers Mil
itary match at 200 and 300 yards is
another reentry match as is the Hayes
match and the Gen. E. P. Meany
match and the N. J. S. R. A. Trophy
Matcn. Ail nave iropnies as weu as
cash prizes. Other matches of the
New Jersey State Rifle ! Association
are the Spencer Match of 15 shots at
1000 yards, the Members Match, Read
ing Match for tyros, Marline Trophy,
Souvenir Medal, Off-Hand, Hale,
Press and otlifccrs and Inspectors mat
ches. There will also be some Re
volver matches including a revolver
team match, a Novice military revol
ver, all comers rapid -lire military, any
revolver, a pistol match, disappearing
target, bobber and others.
The matches of the New York State
Rifle Association are headed by the
Company Team Match at 200, 500,
and 600 yards, open to teams of four.
This match is open to teams fromfor
cign governments and registered clubs
and societies, as well as to the nriuy,
navy and national guard. Gen. E. A.
McAlpin presents a trophy, for the
McAlpin Trophy match and E. A.
Cruikshank one for the Cruikshank
Trophy Match.

GREATEST AMERICAN EVENT
SHORN OF ITS BETTING
FEATURES.
CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-The thirty
thousand employes of the Internation
al Harvester Company are to have
their own sick benefit and insurance
association, according to an announce
met made by C. S. Funk, general
manager of the company. The plan
is the result of several months inves
tigation, both in this country and in
Europe by a committe- including be
side harvester officials, Professor Hen
derson of the University of Chicago
and other welfare workers.
In brief, the plan provides that ev
ery employe who contributes two per
cent of his wages to the fund becomes
member of the association and is
entitled to all its benefits. He is in
sured against death, from sickness, or
accident and receives half pay while
disabled by illness or injury.
The family of a man who is killed
by accident, whether on or off duty,
receives two years wages. He re-
receives the same for the loss of his
eyes, both feet, or both hands. In case
of death from natural causes, one
year's wages is paid to the family.
As an inducement to employes to
join the association the harvester com
pany' will contribute $25,000 to the
fund if fifty percent of the employes
join and $50,000 if 75 percent become
members. Membership is absolutely
voluntary and in joining employes do
not waive any legal rights against the
company in case of accident.
The plan also provides a pension
fund to the benefit of which any em
ploye is entitled after twenty years of
service if he has reached the age of 65
years. At that age retirement is po
tional: at 70 it is compulsory.

SECURITIES WORTHLESS.
Receiver States They Have Shrunk To
Almost Nothing.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29.-In a
report filed with the county clerk, Ed
ward J. LeBreton, receiver for the
California Safe Deposit & Trust Com
pany, charges District Attorney Lang
don with having exaggerated and mis
represented the services rendered by
J. Dalzell Brown to the receiver in
recognizing securitis. The one mil
lion dollar's worth of securities re
turned by Brown he says have an ac
tual cash value of less than $100.
LeBretoh asserts that he has re
ceived valuable information from Bar-j
nctt and J rcndweil as well as a re
turn of all motleys in their power to
return.
At the time of the receivers report
the resources of the bank were $12,
247, 856, of which nearly six million is
represented by miscellaneous stocks,
many having only a nominal rnarket
value. Of the liabilities $8,739,168 is
due depositors. There is now on
hand a cafh balance of $363,478. The
market value of the resources is plac
ed at $2,482,323, which would leave
23.6 percent for the general creditors.
The receiver estimates that it will
take four or five years more to liqui
date the bank and pay the final divi
dend. The downfall of the institution is
attributed to the loans made to John
and James Treadwell but it is asser
ted that its connection with the Wes
tern Pacific prolonged its life.

Experimental Try Out In New York
At Bronx Zoo.
VEW YORK, ing. ZQ.-Two gray
wolves, liberated for experimental
purposes in Bronx park last night,
were captured by Ray L. Ditmars
Curator of the zoo, and 16 keepers
who assisted him in the management
of an electric searchlight used at the
zoo last night for the first time. The
experiment was so successful that thc
searchlight will be kept in readiness
hereafter to aid in trapping escaped
animals.
The wolves which had been releas

surrendered as soon as the rays of
the 50-candle power searchlight were
