In discussing the future plans of the I'. Adjutant General Ilutehings lias this to say: "The team Is diligently practicing at all ranges, but giving most attention to the rabid fire and skirmishing The rapid fire and skirmish together counts for one-half of the score and the skirmish alone counts for one-third of the score. The opportunities for winning- or losing at slow fire are not great and the final result of the National match will be determined by the team that best judges the wind conditions. It 13 thought the National match can be completed in two days. Aug.

28 and 29. On the latter date the skirmish run will be made and Texas will take no halfway measures, the judgment will be formed and the whole team will hack it. If the judgment is good ''our standing will be high and if the judgment is bud we will be low. "The team's present condition, last place in class precludes temporizing. It must shoot to win in that class.

As a team it is not permitted to win a prize in another class, even if its score Is better than any team in the lower class. "The united service match between twenty men from the regular army and the same number from each of the other branches, the navy, the marine corps and the organized militia, will be shot on the. 30th.
