It Is . ex pected that-at least forty teams of twelve men each, representing the several Butss, the army, navy and marine corps, and island possessions, will compete In the- national team match alone. In the national indi vidual match . a modest estimate Is ; that the competitors will number ful ly- l.ooo men. , The. national individual matcn is attracting attention to an unprece dented degree this year by reason of the. attractive, prizes offered.

The Urst prue is ll.ooo In cash. and .the gold medal provided by Con gresa. That almost approximates the klnsra prise, presented by King Ed ward to the National Rifle Association of Great- Brltalnv which- amounts to 1.J60, and which Is accompanied by a gold medal and a gold badge. .General interest Is centered on the national team match, also authorised by Congress and conducted under the auspices of the National Board for the Promotion f mine practice. .
