Several were fred that nigh, have called out the
French warning, scare les q"tt'es;" as many,
perhaps, would have empled saddle; very few
there were, that would not have disturbed the
ranks of an advancing column. It was source
Of regret that the balls fell short OF the required
number. SO that some of the Richmond men had
no chance; and the number Of men being greater
from Richmond than Petersburg in order TO PRE-
serve the number Of shots equal, some OF the Pc
tersburg men fred more than once. II was
thought that The bore of The Petersburg guns was
larger than the bore OF the Richmond guns; il
so, the sh i having been made accurately for the
latter, The circumstance was decidedly in favor OF
Richmond. The guns OF both companies were
United States brass field pieces OF the model OF
1886. The shot were part OF the number OF one
hundred, cast in The most beautiful manner al

Petersburg company had never before praciised
at target; the Richmond company, though they
had frequently done so, had never before had per-
feet balls, having drawn their supplies previously
from refuse lot al the Armory. No sabois were
used, nor any other appliance for ammunition,
than the simple cartridge, ball, and hemp wad-
ding.
