NAShlSOTOS hA1CH
There was a reasonably large quantity Of
powder exploded on the Washington barracks
range yesterday, but it did not result in the
precipitation OF the humidity which WAS An At
mospheric feature. Occasionally one Of the
rain bombs over at Fort MYer would Join in
and increase the racket, but not even the com
bined conclusive agencies brought rain.
As stated in Tue STAR yesterday the first
match concluded in the annual meeting Of the
rifemen of the District National Guard-now
in progress at the barracks-was the merchants
match. There are thirty prizes in this compe-
tition. twenty-nine of tho handsome useful
donations being rewards for meritorious shoot
ing, while the thirtieth is the Topham leather
medal. That medal belongs to the man who
made the lowest score. Sergt. E. NJ. Over
acker. company d, fourth battalion, won II
with a score Of 8 out of possible so at 200 and
300 wards He distanced every competitor and
finished in last place Just as easily as
he might have done had he been
the Washington base bail team. The twenty
nine other soldiers who captured the
gifts freely given BY their fellow citizens are
