The prize drill by the Marietta Rifles for
the gold medal offered by the sponsor, Miss
Elizabeth Cottingham, was attended at the
armory by large number of citizens last
Friday evening. Capt Sanford and Lieut..
Anderson put the company through a
number of cvolutions before and after the
arrival Of Major Kendrick, Of Atlanta, who
inspected the guns and acted as Judge OF
the drill. The contest between the mems
bers was skillful and creditable, but finally
the ranks were thinned ont until there re>
manned only Messrs. Will Pomeroy, James
Atkinson, Robert aammett and Maurice
Hirsch. These four members were watched
with interest as they went through the
drill. Soon Hamnlett and Atkinson drops
ped out for cause, leaving Pomeroy and
Hirsch. Now came the tug OF war. Pome.
roy made false movement and he went
out, leaving Hirsch the winner. The
