high score to his credit
---- THE sHARPsHOoTER CHALLENGE.
The statement made in a morning con-
temporary in regard TO the challenge Of II.
:. r. Brown and A. johnson against the two
highest men in the State militia contest Of
Saturday last, conveys the impression that
the challenge is directed against Messrs. En-
. mons and Kellogg This is not the fact, as
; the challenge Of Brown and johnson for
500 aside was made two weeks prior to the
- final State shoot, and was intended TO show
that although they themselves did not
qualify, they would meet the winners on the
terms stated. These markSmen also wish
:. il to, be understood that they never made
the assertion that the winners OF Saturday
match did not represent the best rilemen IN
T. the State. as both EmmonS and Kellogg are
! well-knOwn military shots and have brilliant
scores in fneir records as marksmen.
Among these four maTksmen the warmeSt
friendship has always prevailed, ana II a
luatch should be eveg entered into, il Is sale
10 say that a friendly contest will be the
result. The conditions under which the
p final. State shoot was arranged, it appears
-. did not give satisfaction 10 any Of the
guaTdsnen OF the State. In the trst place
- it RaS-impOsSible to ind out just what was
expected OF them, and although represent
tatFre OF The GALL waited upon AdJutant-
General Orion be could give no information
rs 10 " hat the sharpshooters would be re-
quired 10 do. 1t is hoped that at the next
annual competition that definite under
Standing WILDE had, and that before shot
will be fred every guardsman in the State
VIII know precisely What is required Of him,
aud when and where and under what con-
.dflOns the hnal shoot Will be had.
