The National Rifle association associa-tion of America probably will challenge Great Britain on condition that the contest con-test may be decided In tho Dominion. In enre of acceptance it l likely that the match will take place on the Rockllft range at Ottawa, near the Governor-General's Governor-General's residence. This is said to be one of the best rifle ranges in the world. The Palma trophy, after having been won by the American team In 1003, wan returned to Great Brltnln because of the allegation that the American team hud shot with a special make of barrel. The Brltlfh Rifle association did not ask for tho return of the trophy, but tho National Na-tional Rifle association of this country decided that they would not keep the trophy if there was any question at all as to tho genuineness of the victory. |
