PALMA TROPHY.

SPORTING RECORDS SHOOTING-Continued.

return home of the Americans a rumor was given
publicity in the English press that the trophy
was won in violation of the conditions, in that
the barrels used by the Americans were not in
accordance with the rules laid down by Great
Britain, but never assented to by the captain of
the American team. The principal rule was that
the national arm of the country that the team
represented must be used, but that rifles of pri-
vate manufacturers could be used if they con-
formed to the regulation pattern. The Ameri-
cans used the Stevens-Pope barrels, which dif-
fered from the government Krag, in three par-
ticulars. No protest was made by the English
team at the time of the match, but when the
Americans returned home the Britishers discov-
ered that they were unfairly beaten and made a
protest. For the sake of harmony and to cut
short a controversy that might last for months,
the Nat. Rifle Assn. of America decided to re-
turn the trophy and compete for it at a later
date. The Englishmen decided to act as custo-
dians of the trophy and acknowledged the
ceipt of same two weeks after it was returned.
