SERGEANT BROWNS $50 BULLSEYES

The contest for the various badges
offered by the officers and companies of
the Fourth Regiment and to be shot for
at the Marion Rauge cam to a close on
Saturday. The leading men for the
different badges were at the range early,
and until six o'clock. the closing time,
the rifles were cracking away CONSTANTLY.
Many brave efforts were made by the
mark smen to change the standing OF the
leaders, and the leaders tried hard to
beat their best scores. Both failed. aud,
az predicted in Thurs lays JERSEY CITY
NEWS. the leaders were not changed.
Sergeant Brown, Of the Gun Detach-
ment, had his gun loaded with bulls eyes
and was prepared to put a few more per-
rorations In the e~gg-shaped block. No
one manifested any desire, however, to
give him a fight aud he won the Range
Committees Badge by a large margin.
After the contest was closed. it was an
nounced that the Range Commitsee's
Badge was 60 be of tin aud to cost but
eightg-four cents. Although the rumor
could not be verified. il caused Sergeant
Brown much anxiety. He has scores to
his credit which eutitle him to other
badges. but at the beginning of the
season he announced his intention of
competing for the Range Committee
Badge, and said that IL any of his scores
ent1tle him to other badges he would REL
fuse to accept them. This is one reason
why he is SO anxious about the Commit
tea Badge.
Captain Bumsted OF Company A, who
twice eQualed the best score on the rapUe
As, was on hand ready to defend his
place Tor ths Cuioneps Badge. CAPTAIN
Springfield. Inspector Of riffs Practice
wal also prepared to defend his right to
the Majors Badge, but neither were
called upon to increase their scores and
to them will go the above badges.

ing Journal Badge ended In a tie be.
