The battalion drill occupied two hours
in the afternoon while Fuller battery spent
some time III practice work, firing blanl,
cartridges ana she'll: at target placed on
hill nearly q mile distant The results
We're very satisfactory considering the fact
thai q strong wind was blowing at the
time, and the battery never shot with shells
hct1rc. The amount of powder used was
different from that for which the range
tables are prepared. and the power was
originally made up for blank cartridges.
Tomorrow the amount used will DE weighed
and he'tor result, L.ty be looked for
About 20 shell, were fired today, six of
lem hitting the target.
