Maj. Pollard Wins the Medal ut the Contests
Today.
Today was EVENING STAR day at the barracks
rifle range. 1t was likewise cold day. Per-
haps not quite as cold for Maj J. NJ. Pollard
as it was for the other forty-six competitors.
but even for him the temperature was suffici-
emily depressed. A breeze that had in it the
element of ''rawness' was meandering slowly
across the Eastern branch when Maj. R. A.
'Brien, who was range officer, called the roll
and started one of the liveliest competitions
the District National Guard has any knowledge
OF. without detractinG from the value of other
prizes 1t is safe to say that prize SO gener-
ally regarded as supremely desirable as the
beautiful gold medal annually donated by The
EVENING STAR Company. The first COMPETE
ton was last year when the valuable five
pointed emblem was won by Capt. W. L. Cash.
This year Capt. Cash was. by virtue of his
previous victory, debarred from entering.
Rihemen of various nationalities have fired
