The annual regimental shoot was held yes
terday His team was close to the head,
in fact it did lead until the field and staff
team started in at the butts. So confident
was he that he telegraphed to Meriden that
Company had won the regimental cup.
Pride goeth before a fall, aud Captain
Bowen and Company 1 went before the
field and staff team.
For the first time in many years the
field and staff officers knew that they could
shoot. They showed that they could do
ity about the arnory last night. The team
appeared to find the bullseye every time
they shot at it, and when they concluded
there were 424 points to their credit.
1t was an ideal day for target work yes-
terday. The air was clear. There WAS
not much wind. The men were in good
condition, and the powder was fre.h and
dry. Then, too, the men behind the butts
attended to their business and good scores
were marked up to the men who deserved
them. No better regimental match has
ever been ehot. not since the formation of
the brigade of the Connecticut National
Guard. Company K of Wallingford had
won the trophy twice, and the team was
confident of winning it yesterday, but for
one year it will decorate the officers room
al the armory.
The shoot yesterday settled another i'm
portant question. The men who made the
best scores were to be selected to repre-
sent the regiment at the brigade shoot to
be held at Hartford next month. Fifteen
men have been selected, and of that num-
Der seven will be chosen as the reglmental
team on the morning of the shoot at Hart
ford. The men are Captain LaBarnes, in
spector of rife practice; Corporal Bill of
Company D, Corporal Landon of Company
