| fired over is three hundred Yards, the roll of
the company is called in alphabetical order
and each man is allowed five successive
| shots with self-rest. The first prize is gold
| medal, to be kept until the next annual
| match. The company gives a second prize,
| usually piece of silver ware, which be-
| comes the property Of the winner of it, A
| leather medal is given to the man having
| the poorest record on the target, but as it
usually happens that some don't hit the tar
| get at all, the receiver of this is not the
| poorest shot The winner of the gold medal
last year was Cadet Frank Hall. So far az
| we have been able to ascertain, no one has
| ever won this medal twice. The firearms
| used are smooth-bore muskets and it is
probable that chance as well az skill infiu.
