Military Notes.

National Guardsmen VINO delight in firing at
targets placed fifty yards from the points OF their
noses and think that they do wonders II they
sionaily hit the centre might well employ their
valuable time In firing or crackers for all the benefit
they derive from the practice. The Twenty-second
their encampment at Long Branch by firing
ut targets two hundred yards distant on the
excellent principles established at the Hythe school
or Muskery; but the ''target excursion, nuisance
shows no sign of abatement. Az a late shooting
match or the Tenth Royals British regiment), at
Toronto, Canada the ranges were two, three, four
ana i've hundred yards, five shots at each range;
firing at two hundred yards was from the shoulder,
DINER ranges from the knee or shoulder, Hythe pO-
sition. Captain IIetherngton, OF No. 7 Company,
made sxtytwo points. being the highest score OF the
match. Az four hundred yards Sergeant Phillips
made five bulls eyes Two of the contestants scored
over sixty, and twenty-six from forty to iftynne
points each. we call that target practice. Should
these red coats on the border they viii find the way
10 victory hard road TO travel.
spirit OF commendabe emulation Is spreading In
the National Guard Of the State. Each command
ing officer seems determined to make his particular
regiment or company the best In the service. This
man Is nothing but muff who permits himself to
he beaten by his fellows in what he undertakes II he
can prevent 1t by any possibility, and q soldier who
will not OF his own accord study to be perfect In his
duty is not worth his salt.
