Summarizing these figures IL viii be seen that
the majority is largely on the side Of the here
tofore despised tirst regiment, which has
grand total Of asp points to 4,199 belonging
to tbs second IL the practice and match
scores are separated the first will have 2, 712
points In matches as against 2.627 for the sec
ond.
In the individual matches at Sea Girt not a
single prize was taken by a second regiment
man. while three prizes did fall into the hands
OF two represo natives Of the first. At Creed
moor in the Presidents match the first regi-
ment got two men through to the second stage -
one OF them winning second money-while
none of the seconds marksmen passed the 500
yards point In the governors match two first
regiment men took prizes with scores Of 100
each; the only men of the second who cap
tured anything (there were three of them) did
it with riuety-six to the credit of each. One
first regiment officer got high prize in the
all-comers match; no soldier of the second
was ''in it" In the Steward match the first
regiment again had a lonesome time, one OF its
men gathering in prize with no competitor
from the second in sight. The only prize taken
by The second during the two weeks of shoot
Ing was In the Judd match, and even there the
first regiment had man points enough ahead
TO catch the second prize; the representative
OF regiment No was tenth man.
