Forthcoming international rifle match and U. S. magazine rifle
The international match for the Palma Centennial trophy will take place in Ottawa, Ontario, on August 26. The 1902 match will use military rifles, and the United States may not be able to compete as the current American magazine rifle has deficiencies that make it unreliable at a range over 1,000 yards.
