LONDON. Jun 1 Iucluded In the pro
gram of the fourth Olympiad, which Is
to be held this year In iLonrinn, are num
ber of competitions In markmnnihlp that
give promise of proving of exceptional In
terest. In the jrrcst Olymplo festival no
fewer than twesity-thren different nations
will be represented In the sport arena
and the various competitions, and tt U
hoped that fully that number will aend
teama or Individual comp-titoTS to take
part In tha shooting matches, which will
take In the three week daya. July , 10 and
11, Immediately preceding the opening of
the great Blaley meeting. , .
The National Rifle association has, on
behalf of the British Olympic association,
undertaken the management and Control
of the competition!!, and offered' to the
executive the hospitality of their magnifi
cent ranges and pfeir.t, and to the foreign
competitors the bounteous accommodation
of the camp and grounds at Bisley, and
the many sumptiaous pavilions and club
houses that aland thnreon. '
Rivalry ' In regard . to marksmanship be
tween the riflemen of this country and
those of the continent of Europe has In
the past been practically non-exlatent, and
matches of extremely rare occurrence.
This is readily accounted for. In Great
Britain, and It may be said also for tho
over-seaa dominions kf the British crown,
and In the main for ithe United States of
America, cempetltlvo marksmanship has
almost entirely been conducted on what
are called "service" lines, with "service"
weapons, 1. e., military arma whereas on
the continent, and to some extent In Amer
ica, rivalry has not stopped t competitive
excellence In the mere use and handling
of rifles, but haa extended to the de
signing, the manufacture . and the ex
treme delicacy of the. complicated and
beautiful, though utterly impracticable,
pieces themselves, and the ammunition
used with them. ,
It la readily conceivable when what may
be called -two schools are discovered pur
suing an Identical art from such ' widely
divergent standpoints, those concerned can
have had but few thoughts in common,
and but little to bring tbelr action. Into
harmonious unison, and It Is by no means
an insignificant fact that the last occa
sion upon which, under the continental
system, British marksmen took part In a
conteat waa aa far back aa 1899. when. In
reaponse to an Invitation from tlte Llgue
National des Tireurs Ilullandaia, tha, Na
tional Rifle association nominated a team
Which competed in -the grand conooure In
ternational, which waa held that year at
The HagW Using "service" rifles, and
unaccustomed fo many of the methods of
conducting rifle matchea on the continent.
the British team at the close of the pro
ceedings found' Its eitry; relegated to .the
nethermost position on the score schedule,
with no resultant encouragement whatever
to continued or auatalned energy.
In tha case of the forthcoming Olympic
c5mrfi)t!nm tn marksmanship an arrange
ment has been arrived afWhlch has already
secured approbation and will eventually
afford satisfaction to all conoerned. This
is one by which "International"' contesta
for teama and individuals haw been pro
vided under both, aystems, the one being of
equal Importance with the other, neither
depreciating nor enhancing their respective
values.
The service rifle match, like that on the
continental modelj promises to afford as
complete ft test of endurance aa of accuracy.
The former will be fired at ZOO, 600, 600,
M0. and l.floo yards, two slanting shots
and fifteen rounds to count at each ranae,
with Ttlnley targeta and scoring. In the
continental "International" match all the
shooting will be at 300 metres 8JI yards
end each competitor will fire 130 rounds;
forty atandlng, forty kneeling and forty
prone, scoring In this case being on the
decimal principle, the target being one
metre in diameter, with ft black center or
"visual" O.SOm. diameter, the entire target
being divided Into ten lones, counting from
one to ten points.
An elaborate pros-ram of competitions
with "mlninture" rifles fired at distances
vsrylng from twenty-five to 100 yards haa
been drawn, and for revolver and pistol
shots ample provision haa been made, and
what is believed to the foreign visitors
will prove a novelty are a number of
matches and contests on the running-dcer
range.
SPRINTERS SHOW FDTE FORM
Three Boys Whose Chances for the
Olympic Teem Are Good.
NEW YORK, June . The three sprinters
of the early aeason who have a good
chance to make the Olympic team are
Ernest E. Nelson of th Boston Athletic
association, J. A. Rector of Virginia, and
Bob Coughlan of the Irish-American Ath
letic club of New York. All are minora
and each has done the hundred in close
to record time, and while the record may
not be allowed by tho American Athletic
union, the general public la willing to
credit Rector with ft mark of 0:9, as
caught by three watches. It la also willing
to believe that Rector, having frequently
beaten ton aeconds, can repeat hla more
marvelous performsnce.
Nstnon Is 19 yesrs old, 5 feet 4 Inches tall
and weighs 1 pounds. At the Harvard
Interscholustlo gamea this spring he did the
hundred In 0.v and won the two hundred
and twenty In 0:11, the latter equaling
Snick's record. He Is also a good runner
at any distance up to K) yards. Rector
made his latest record at the Southern In
tercollegiate meet. He la no novice, hav
ing defeated Forrest Smlthson and Not
Cartmell, Coughlan la the youngster of
whom great things were expected last
firing, when he ran second In the, hundred
of the Junior championships and won tn
the two hundred and twenty, being held
back in the first In order to score mere
points for his team. Later he broke a
bone in hla foot. Tills season he has
been doing Q;9 in his hundred-ysrd practice.
SCH0LES MAY ROW AT OLYMPIC
One Tim Winner nt Henley la Coin
Inn Ont Aftaln.
NEW YORK, June . Lou Scholea of
Toronto is going to compete at the Olym
plo regatta aa single sculler, and the an
nouncement' may eet at reat the oft re
peated statement that the winner of the
diamond eculls Is afraid. Sholes sent bis
entry to the Olymplo committee last week,
and he did It without any blare of trumpeta;
In fact, he tried to keep tha Information
quiet. Now that It la out It also may be
stated that Alfred Ward of the Harlem
river, la about completing a single shell
which 8c holes is to take abroad for the
Olympic games. The ahell la the finest
ever constructed on the Harlem.
. Scholea has not been to England since he
won the diamonds. Although Canadian
by birth and choice, Scholea Isn't over
popular at Henley, for one reason because
he was very fast, but chiefly because of ft
atory which . was freely circulated around
Henley. It waa related that when a tour
ing Englishman went Into the hotel of the
elder Sehniea at Toronto and asked to see
the diamond sculls which the youngster
won there waa ft search behind the taproom
bar and that at the end of fifteen minutes
or so the sacred medal was dug out of from
behind ft lot of Ice which surrounded ft gin
bottle. That's how much Lou thought of
the diamond sculls. The Englishman
thought It waa an awful crime to treat ft
time-honored national trophy that way,
and he made an awful row over tt when be
went home. It may be possible that the
laws of compensation will let Scholes' visit
balance the Nlckall's Invasion.

BIG HANDICAP RACE FILLS WELL
Cnndltlnna Anch Give Owners Fin
Opportunity to Know Jest
Where They Will Be
nt Start.
NEW YORK. June The report from
Boston thst 124 horses are entered in the
M.OOO Readville handicap la most Inter
esting news for trotting horsemen. Outslds
of colt stakes, this Is the largest number
of horses named In ft single rice, and Is
surely the most appropriate for the largest
purse ever offered for one race running
or trotting.
"When the New England Trotting Horse
Breeders' association announced this mag
nificent stake for a dash, nothing of ft
definite nature waa given out aa to what
percentage of the purse the donors ex
pected from the nominators In order to
make the event a go, yet. Judged from
private reports, horsemen were given to
understand that If they subscribed half of
the amount as entrance fees the other half
will be made good by Colonel John R.
Thayer, who Is understood to back the
event individually for the benefit of the
sport.
According to the conditions of the stake
these 124 nominators already have paid al
most K per cent of the purse, ' or m.400.
The second payment of 1110 on each entry
falls due on June 15, and the third pay
ment of the same amount. Is due on July 12.
During thst period sll of the entries will
be in training, and If any be declared out
of the stake It wilt be merely on account
of accident. It la therefore a fair estimate
that at .least 100 horses will be kept eligible
up to the last or fourth payment.
At thla rate the total amount of en
trance feea will foot up to not less thsn
I3S.0C0. All the horses left eligible to the
stake will be handicapped by three of the
best experts on August 18, or four days
before the fourth and last payment of
2uf) will be due.
It now looks almost certain that few
will be declared out until the final decisions
of the handlcappers are made public, as,
according to the conditions of the race, tha
ellglblea will not only be handicapped aa
per their record at tha time the first en
tries were closed, but according to - their
showing during the racing aeaaon up to
August 18. Four daya before the last pay
ment falls due, therefore, owners will have
ft correct Idea as to what point their
ellglblea will be assigned. Soma of the
horses entered In the big race will keep
their engagements at Detroit, Kalamasoo
and Buffalo, and their ahowlng at these
meetings will be considered by the handl
cappers. Some entries which ara nominated
now with ft view that they will, according
to tholr preaent records, constitute the
front tiers, might be set In , the rear lot
with such horses as ara now expected to be
behind the middle tiers.
The great majority of th trottera en
tered In the event will not be started In
other races and will be saved for that one
race, aa naturally owners would not care
to show the speed qualities of their ellglbles
to such an extent aa to give the handicap-,.
pers ft line on them. For thla reason It s
more than likely that tha bulk of the
entries will be placed according to their
preaent mark and owner will rlak the
last payment.
The names of the horses entered ere, not
yet announced, but It la certain the very
best trottera of the country which are In
racing form, and aa the percentage of the
entrance fee la so Insignificant compared
with the value of the stake, the bulk ef
the original nominators will atay In at least
to the last payment.
The stake will be divided among six
first . horses at the rate of 130.000, 110,000,
15,000. (2.600. 11,600 and $1,000.

energy of thla ftllcntly powerful, smooth running lUmbler rodstr. It
Is built for th hardest kind ot service on country roads or city pavement.
In the
four-cylinder engine the crank shaft U offset so that at the instant the explosion
occurs and the prrsMire Is irreatest, the piston and cranlt shaft have moved past
the dead center, the crank shaft Is in a position to receive the full preneur and turns
without unnecessftry friction. That, Is why the Rambler engine is so powerful.
In the ordinary automobile engine the piston, crank pin and crank shaft are all in
a direct line when the pressure Is greatest and until the crank passes the turning
point all the effort is wasted. With the Kambler straiKht line drive the full engine
power is delivered to the rear ale with the least possible loss through friction. That
means economy ot upkeep. . f
