The national board for the promotion of rifle practice will test private and government ammunition in spring matches to decide which to adopt for preliminary practice and the national rifle match. Changes include awarding prizes only after the last shot and switching from silhouettes to a bullseye B target to reward close holds, favoring state teams and narrowing gaps with service teams.

Political fortunes and a fox hunt tale collide
Col Brentwood of New Orleans cites costly campaigns as evidence that even well funded candidates struggle to recover. He recalls a U S senator from Dixie who spent heavily and left a fortune depleted, while another rival racked up debt of 360000 with slim prospects of repayment. He notes a congressman from the same state who spent two years of a senator’s salary and still lost. The piece then shifts to a Red Lion Hunt Club episode where a gray fox, chased by 109 dogs, climbed a tree and later leaped into the pack before being reduced to pieces.
