ment of Dakota.

ment Oh dakota.
The wind was high and variable when
the shooting commenced at Fort Smell
ling yesterday, but was succeeded by a
breeze sufficient to blow away the
smoke from the muZZles of the rifles,
but not strong enough to influence the
course of the bullets. Skirmish
firing was the feature of the contest,
and the result enabled the officers to Sc
lect dozen rifiemen to represent the
department of Dakota in the division
contest, whose percentage is far above
those in former competitions. The in
dividual scores made yesterday by the
