the days work and put the men through
strictly according to rules. Besides the
old method of firing deliberately, each
individual firing according to his own
ideas and taking his own time about it,
the method of firing within limited time
and with one hand only was practiced.
Each man was given three shots under
the old method. Then each man was given
three shots being required to draw, cock,
aim and shoot within three seconds, using
only one hand, Then each man was given
three shots with the same requirements,
the double action being used instead of
the single, the left hand being held as the
bride hand in the position of the mount
ed trooper.
Not being used to firing by the new
rules, the scores naturally were not up to
the usual record of the Hussars. The
prizes were won as follows c. S. Rich

the troop for this contest by Mr.. w. j.
DeRenne, score, 45. Second prize, G. A

army distance of so yards, and the rapid
firing was at the D skirmish target at 10
yards, There was an oyster roast, and
the usual accessories at the target
grounds. The troop arrived back at the

hours very pleasantly and probably.

escorted them to the Brannen house,
where they were registered as the guests
of the kell Rifles. From the hotel the
party went to the quarters of the Rifles,
where the inspection was held The Rifles
turned out sc men and officers, and made
a very credtable showing indeed. The
visiting officers noted that the men were
of particularly fine appearance. The
company was drilled by Capt. Everett
and was put through the manual by
Lieut.. Gleason at the request of Mai.
Karow. The company made a good show
ing, both in the movements and the
manual. Being a young company 1t was
not expected that the men would be as
precise and uniform in their movements
as those of the older city companies.
After the inspection the military men all
dinner the Rifles began target practice.
The officers were compelled to take the
train for Savannah before the practice
had progressed very far, but they re-
manned long enough to see some good
scores made. The Savannah officers were
very much pleased with their visit. Capt.
Everett intends to bring his company
down to Savannah either on Jan. 10 or
Feb. %. on which days there will be public
parades of the military as usual This will
be the first time that the entire seven
companies Of the regiment will have pa
