In response to a letter to the Yale Gun Club, the secretary of the Harvard Shooting Club has received the following formal challenge:
"The Yale Shooting Club hereby challenges the Harvard Gun Club to a match to be held Friday, November twenty-third, at the Colt Gun Club grounds, Hartford, Conn., provided these can be obtained. The same conditions as usual must govern the match, namely, five men teams, thirty keystone targets per man, three traps at three unknown angles, and American Association rules.
HENRY G. MILLER, JR., Capt. Y. S. C.WILLIAM S. MILLER, Pres. Y. S. C."The Yale management has also sent a challenge to Princeton which will in all probability be accepted. Both the Yale and Princeton teams have been practicing during the past week, and although the Harvard team has been out longer, the captain feels that in order to win, the candidates must improve greatly. The weather of the past few days has necessarily hindered practice and has been detrimental to the men's form.
But two weeks now remain before the shoot at Hartford and it is earnestly hoped that all men who shoot will begin steady practice at once.
