Range. at the Sea Grit which Isl given
annually to the members OF the Fourth
Regiment. began yesterday and thirty
one members took advantage OF the OPP
portunity to learn how TO shoot
straight" The day was devoted to non'
marksmen and the officers IN charge
worked z%ealously teaching the mons
how to sight the pieces and strike the
targets. AS a result seventeen OF the
thirty-one men who went TO the range
returned hon qualified marksmen
having crossed the line of % which
divides the two classes.
The turnout was considerably smaller
than the officers expected, but rs the
members have the entire week In which
so shoot for qualification, it il probable
thar the attendance for the remaining
days will be much larger.

: The members arrived at the range at
ten o'clock aud as everything was Ia
readiness they Immediately stsrted 10 to
practice. In order to shoot On the 200
and 500 yard ranges the National Guards
men must first make q score OF % out OF
ranges. The latter ranges proved q
s'cinch" for the men and all but a few
secured the necessary IS points or over.
The 2O0 yard target. however, was the
! stumbling block over which they fell aud
consequently eight men required second
practice. The high wind which made
good shooting difficult in the morning
died ont in the afternoon and a number
of men made excellent scores or
the 200 n 500 yard targets. Private
Howard Gilbert. OF Company A. cap
