All of these, adds the NeUS and Courier,
are experienced rifle shots, the best In the
city, and it is beyond a doubt that the
Savannah team Will have rs much amuse-
ment as they can wish for in winning the
contest.
The result of the contest shows that
the Savannahians had about all the fun
they wanted and won the match on an easy
score. 1t takes a crack team to get away
with the Savannah ri1emen, and without
any disparagement OF the CharlestOnians
it will be some time, doubtless, before
they are able to wrest the honors from
their brother riflemen. The victorious
team will return this morning bringing
with them the laurels they won.
The programme for last night was the
anniversary banquet Of the association
at the German Artillery Hall.
kilograms We're received yesterday say
ing that the Savaunahians were rOvally
received by the Charles tOnians upon their
arrival there, and that the celebration,
outside of the contest, was in every way
a success.
