Satisfactory Scoring.

The Washington Grays and the seps-

In compliance with orders from the State Adjn-
tant Generals Office the Washington Grays Cav
alry Lieutenant Barton commanding went 10
Creedmoor yesterday for ball cartridge practice.
The corps embarked for Hunters Point, on tue
East Thirty fourth street Jerry, at quarter 10
eight O'Clock A. M, and took the Central Railroad
u.ong Isiand} for the National Rine Association's
ranges, which they reached In time to commence
firing about ten O'Clock. The Separate Troop
Cavalry, Captain Karl Klein commanding whose
practice was cOuntermanded from the ID lnst was
also ut the rne ranges yesterday. AS Will be seen
BY the scores Of the respective troops they both
made a very good record. The day was one OF
the most lovely OF the season, and hardly hatiul
OF wind disturbed the marksmen's aim
In accordance with division orders issued yes
terday the distances Ut which the troops were to
fire were changed from 100 yards and 400 yards TO
100 ana 800 yards, both standing. This OF course,
made material difference in the result OF the
scores The cavalry have shown scores much
above the average OF the infantry regiments. But
1t must be remembered that the men who were at
the ranges yesterday are superior class OF clt-
zens and while 1t Is conceded that the infantry
should beat the horsemen at rine practice, the
distances at which the latter fired must be taken
into account; and also that the arm OF precision
with which they shot, at 100 and 800 yards, Is
much more accurate and reliable at these short
ranges than the lnantry arm at 200 and 500 yards.
the arm make good deal Of percentage in favor
Of the cavalry.
