ARMY CRACK SHOTS.
A Gala Day at the National Shooting
Tournament.

A Gala Day at the National shooting
Tournament.
CHICAGO, Sept. 10.-This was a gala
day in the United States army national
shooting tournament-the first day OF
competitive skirmish firing. The eight
marksmen who composed the first skir-
mish line, stepped up to the 600-yard
limit and waited for the signal to start.
When it came they started off with a
swinging stride; then in quick success
sion came the signals: ''double time"
halt" fire" At the command to fire,
the men dropped on the ground full
length and the rifles began to
crack. Then for thirty seconds it
was a continuous roar, the bullets
whistling in the air and embedding
themselves in the back stop, dust and
pebbles showering around the figures
At the command, "Cease firing" the
!. men arose and the process was repeated
until ten halts were made. Some ex-
ceptional good runs were made, three
OF them breaking the previous skirmish
records on this range. Sergeant Pow
ell, d company, Fourteenth infantry,
whose score of 173 points was the best
made Wednesday at the target shooting,
piled up a grand total of 145 points
in his afternoon runs, but his
forenoon run was only 3d. so for the day
he got but 1874 points, which was
equalled by but three contestants, how
ever. Sergeant Mayer, G. company,
18th infantry, made the second best run,
rddling the figures to the extent of 14S
points. His morning run was 118,
bringing his averaging for the day up to
l3l. Sergeant Rose, A. company, 18th
infantry, scored 115 in the morning, and
1877 in the afternoon, average 126. His
previous score gave him total of 404
points, which places him first among the
army team men. Powell is second and
Mayer third. The distinguished rifle
marksmen, to use a camp expression,
are mot in it" but three uf them scor
ing 800. Corporal Sweinhart, whose
phenomenal score OF It's Tuesday,
placed him far in the lead, made but
96 points, yet so indifferently did the
distinguished men shoot, that he still
retains second place. Private Davis, B
company, Sixteenth infantry, who
scored an average OF ITO, is first, with
total OF 43S
