There will be more machine-gun matches than hitherto at the next meeting of the Army Rifle Association at Trentham (says a northern exchange). Recent changes/in the service training of the British Army so as to meet conditions of modern warfare are reflected in the revised competitions, and the programme has been prepared by tire defence authorities at this early date in order to enable competitors to have plenty of practice under the new conditions. The match for the King’s Medal is to be competed for on exactly identical lines with the •competition for the King’s Prize at Bisley. There are also several alterations in the army championship and other practices, while the battle practice competition is to be carried out with greater reality than in the past, and over a much more extensive area.
