RIFLE SCORES.
A Member of Company G Replies to Re
cent Criticisms.

cent Criticisms.
EDS. RECORD UNION: Last Mondays edi-
ton Of the RECORD UNION contained an in
terYiew with member of Company G, or,
in other words, with its chronic member. !"
The first thing he gushes over is that the
shooting scores, as published in the REQ
ORD UNION, are unfair. Now, as a matter
of fact, to any fair-minded man they are
perfectly correct. If a man on his first
score makes 36 points, and on subsequent
score he makes AZ, he will naturally want
the better score published. Now, what IS
the difference which score is published
They were both fairly made, and the scores
hereafter will be published as heretofore,
and as for his demonstrating with Captain
Hall, will say right here that the latter
does not bother himself with publishing
the scores; he knows they are correct, or
they would not be in the paper.
The kicker says: Il could tell you
the names of several militiamen in this
city who are decorated with gold bars they
are not entitled to-" That is downright
fabrication and a libel on the National
Guard of California, and the company in
this city ought to 'naiP' it as such, because
it places the commanding officers in a bad
light, inasmuch as they have TO certify to
the correctness OF every score before deco
rations are issued.
Then, again, he says ''there is entirely
too much monkeying with the target"
This prevarication, as its predecessor, must
be mailed" on the spot. The idea that
markers often assist their friends must lie
in his eyes or else he has had friends of his
own doing the marking But there is no.
hnHu fho I knnru IF in th.a last fuC0
who has received such assistance, unless,
as l have said, the interviewed" party
himself had friend to assist him Tor his
friends) in enlarging their scores; and, as
they were not found out, he, of course, may
know of what he speaks.
To show how little he knows of that
which he is talking about l will here give
a message that Captain Hall sent by me to
our Company G. Target Master before the
last annual shoot: Get two markers and
take them out to the range early, before
anybody gets there, and let no member of
the company know who they are, and have
them stay down by the targets until the
shooting is over" 1t is needless to add
that his wishes were complied with to the
letter. There may have been some "monk-
eying" las the gentleman calls III with the
target some years ago, but none of the old
members IN Company G can remember
anything of it. But it is safe to say that
every member wearing decorations in Com
psny earned them by the best of Cap
tain Halls knowledge-that is to say,
since he has been in command.
The writer does not wish to deal in per-
sonslities, but it does seem that when a
man IA member of an organization) can
utter such an abominable lot of nonsense
in regard to his own company, and with
out substantial proof to back his assertions,
he ought to be dishonorably discharged.
Not that the members in the company do
not know them to be false, but it casts a
slur upon the State militia.

Secretary of Company G.

Company a Has WaIk-Over for the
Handsome Drill Trophy.
AT Armory Hall last evening an event
long looked for in military circles took
place. 1t was drill for a handsome silver
trophy offered by local firm as prizs for
the best-drilled company of the First Ar.
tillery Regiment, located in this city.
At few moments before o'clock the
drill squad of Company A, under command
of Captain P ]. Glas, made its appearance
on the floor and proceeded with the drill
The company marched by fours, front, etc.
in fine form and perfect time-somethine
that has not occurred in the Armory for q
long time. The manual of arms was exc
cuted with precision and exactness that
called forth applause from the audience
The bayopet drill, executed in open-file
was very pretty and novel sight, and
showed that much attention had been
given to this branch of the school of the
soldier. The very few and slight breaks
that occurred did not at all mar the drill.
Captain Glas feels proud of his company
and only regrets that none of the othel
companies would c9me out and drill
against him. AS it was, they all conceded
that Company A was the best-drilled com
pany in the regiment, and did not care Il
drill against "a dead sure thing Tn,
trophy will be formally presented to tn,
company at its coming ball, and be PLACED
on exhibition in few days.

The overland flyer which arrived yester-
day morning from the East brought as one
of its passengers Miss Elizabeth Bisland
the lady who is heading for the Orient in
her race around the world with Miss Nelly
Bly,, of the New York World. The latter
left New York across the Atlantic fol-

Miss Bisland will leave San Francisco

by steamer to Ceylon, where she expects &c
spend Christmas. She will pass through
the Suez Canal and on to Southern Italy
She expects to reach New York in seventy
days from the time she left, thus eclipsins
even what was regarded some years ago a:
the wild dream of Jules Verne, when ht
wrote his story of Phineas Fogg's TRIP
around the world in eighty days.
Miss Bislsnd is one of the most beautiful
young ladies of New York, and will prove
an excellent representative of American
| women in the many countries through
which she must travel.

ADJUSTMENTS.

There was full house in all the lower
sections and good gallery at the second
performance by the McNeill Club, and its
assistants, last night at the Metropolitan
Theaser. THE Chimes of Normandy" was
sung for the second time. The RECORD
UNIONS opinion expressed yesterday that
the ladies and gentlemen of the temporary
organization do much better than was an
ticipated, was confirmed. The audience
manifested its plereure by generous ap-
plause and Mrs. Hubbard, Mr.. Moynihan,
Miss Fitch and Mr.. COhn all received the
compliment of encores. The singing was
smoother, the harmonies better preserved,
the enuDciatlOn very much more dis
tinct, and the chorus singing
stronger and more exact than on the
first night The amateurs have no reason
to be at all dissatisfied with the reception
they have received. As we said yesterday,
that second performance would be more
effective and more vigorous, it so proved
and the forecast is made that to-night's
presentation of the beautiful opera will be
characterized by q still greater improve
ment 1t will be the last of the opera by
the club, and as the house was well filled last
night, in spite of the great storm, there is
no Ied5Un WHY iuc duulcHCo Vi lO-DlBul

of last evening. The cause is worthy, and
the courage of the singers laboring for it is
worthy of recognition by the public.
On Friday evening next, the I'D instant,
the Ancient Order of Foresters will give
a grand entertainment and ball al Armory
Hall. The music will be by the First Ar
tillery Band. and the affair will be one of
the pleasantest of the season. The For
esters know how to do the handsome thing
in their entertainments, and will exert
themselves to make this one of the best
entertainments they have given.

Baseball Matters.

A rumor was noised about town LAST
evening TO the effect that the Sacramento
baseball team had been paid off by the
management and disbanded. A RECORD
UNION reporter saw T. L. Enr1ght. Secre-
tary of the management, last evening in
regard to the matter, and that gentleman
positively denied that there had been any
disbandment whatever. "Tll tell you,
though he added, what may have given
foundation for the report. We have re-
leased three of the players-Gagus. Selma
and Roxburg. We did this to make room
for Eastern players, who will finish the sea-
son with US. Fogarty and Dunlap are
among the new men we have engaged"

THE BEST SHOES.

Have you seen the new lines of Mems Fine
Shoes at S. and 81 so? To have known stock
even short time ago is not to know it Not
only are these Shoes the very perfection of fine
shoemaking, but we have them in all sizes and all
widths from to ZEE. Thus there is no foot, un-
less it be deforned, which cannot fit perfectly
as if the Shoe was made for it.
This complete equipment of sizes applies to
many lines, such as hook and lace Shoes, the but
ton and the congress- and to the broad French toes
the medium toes and the narrow toes, with caps.
Such stock as this represents investment
of many thousands of dollars. Would we dare to
make it if we did not know that the qualities and
prices are ,xgt and that the people of Sacramento
appreciate the advantage of such an assortment to
buy from?

METEOROLOGICAL.


Nearly Three and One-half Inches of
Rain In Excess of Last Season.
The Signal Service records show the
barometer to have risen rapidly yesterday
up TO A. NJ, after which time it remained
stationary, with high southerly winds,
travelling from twenty to thirty miles per
hour from the southeast. At the same time
the nimbus or rain clouds were moving q
few hundred feet above our heads at hur-
ricane rate, while the rain fell continuously
during the entire day, amounting, up to
5 P. NJ, to .6S OF an inch, making LIZ inches
for this storm, and ia inches for this sea-
sion; as against 81 inches to an equal date
last year.
The temperature, wind and weather at
5 A. N. yesterday were: $40; southeast: II
miles per hour, and weather cloudy. At 5
PM, $50; southeast; II miles per hour and
raining.
The highest and lowest temperature
yesterday was $50 and 47'. as against SO
and SO, on the same day last year The
highest and lowest one year ago to-day
was 61o and $40.
THE STORM ON THE MOUNTAINS.
A telegram received from Truckee last
night said To-day has reminded us OF
the old-time Sierra storms. 1t has been
drifting hard, and regular mountain biz
zard has been raging. Snow-plows have
been brought into action, and the new
rotary pillow made its trial trip. 1t proved
to be a success until it arrived at Tunnel
No. 6, where it met an old-style pillow
coming in the opposite direction.
THE result was collision, but still IN
daunted, the rotary, for lack of snow
chewed up the end of the other pillow.
I'm town the only damage done was the
blowing down of signs and the liberty
pole"

An old man wearing a light Office coat
was engaged in earnest conversation the
other day with a prominent official in one
of the departments. He had the low voice
and manner of one accustomed by long
years of service to department life. While
one could see from his appearance that he
recognized the superior authority which the
man at the desk exercised, yet it was evil
dent that he was trying in an humble, de-
precating way tocarry his point. Finally
the interview was terminated by the chief
turning away with some impatience, at the
same time saying: swell, we will see
about it"
The old man hesitated a moment as if he
was going to say something more, and then
changed his mind and shuffisd out of the
room.
