BY winning the regimental trophy
last fall the First regiment rifle team
are now the owners of the cup which
was put up by the state for competition
four years ago, to be won three times
before becoming the property of any
regiment. When the fact was made
known to Adjt. Gen. Mullen, he stated
that the regiments of the state would
not be without something to shoot for
next fall, and that another prize would
be provided when the time for the con-
test arrived. 1t is urged by many of the
officers who are interested in rifle prac-
tice, that it will be preferable to have
distinctive prize offered each year, so
that the winning team can have some
thing to snow for the work that they do
each year to obtain the required pro-
ficiency.
