MEDALS FOR MhRKSMEN.
Rewards of Merit Issued to National
Guardsmen.
TheIGold Medal Goes to Captain Huber
of the Second Artillery-Plenty of
the Bronze Ones Won Here.

The lengthy tabulated report by Adju-
tant-General Alien on the target practice
OF the National Guard during the year
1891 was received yesterday from the
State Printing Office. The report is the
longest issued since General Aliens in
cumbency, and is of interest to all Ma
tional Guardsmen in the State. 1t con-
tains the name of every militiaman who
is entitled to medal this year, either of
the first, second or third class.
The report shows that Captain Adolph
Huber of Company G, Second Artillery
Regiment, is entitled to the gold medal,
he being the best shot in the State. His
score at the first practice was 45 points,
and at the second 40 points, out of a pos
sible so.
Strange to say, the Captain is the only
soldier in the State who receives first
class medal. He might have made the
best score and obtained the prize medal
yet any shooter making 80 points in his
two trials would have been entitled TO a
hrst-class medal. None, however, were
able to reach the first-class margin line
this year, while there were a dozen or
more last year, of which the First Artil-
lery Regiment Of this city captured three
or four.
There are nine hundred and seventy
two other members of the State militia
who are entitled to medals of either the
second or third class, and the trophies are
now being made in the East.
The medal won by Captain Huber will
be all gold. The second-clasS medal will
have silver pin and stamp of dog s
head, and a silver bar. A bronze bar will
be suspended from the third class medals.
The First Artillery Regiment has cap
tured seventeen second-class medals and
one hundred and eight third-class. The
Fourth Brigade Staff has won four of the
third-class, and the Signal Corps two.
