a fine Discriminating rifle was won By pr,-
vate JOHN SrANNARD, and the third PRIZE.
not yet determined upon, offered Ivy Major
CoLroN, was won by LIST Lieutenant Gou.
R1ER. The last prize, the leather medal
was awarded to High Private, BENJAM,N
HICKMAN. who amidst the cheers of his
comrades, confessed his detr, mination to
do better next time After the regular shoot

was imM ss'ble to decide upon the result of
the last contest, owing to the Tact that the
shots of Privates CURRAN and BKuNor meas.

tire Of the ~tarset-both of these shots were in
the bulfs-eye. The matter will be settled
at the next target shooting about the Fourth
Of July. The SD soting being over, the COM

they INDUCED a hearty game Of romps
through the " merry greenwood" in which
they seemed ~ amuse themselves not a little.
One squad amused themselves by capturing
a buttermiik cart, driven by an old negro.
and supplying the contents Of the milk cans
to themselves and friends. The old negro
