THE HUssARs ON THE RANGE.
Some Good Scores Made at Wheel
mems Park in Spite of the Wind.

some TOOd scores HLaQ5 at " AeGl-
mems Park in Spite of the Wind.
The Georgia Hussars went out to
Wheclmen' park yesterday afternoon for
their annual prize shoot The men as
sembled in camp fatigue uniform, the
first platoon leaving the armory at 1
o'clock p. IN. sharp and the second pla-
toOu at 3 o'clock. Capt. Gordon went out
with the first platoon. Theme marched
from the armOry 10 Price street, where
they took the Electric railway cars for
the park.
The first platoon BEGAN shooting at
once and the first ranges were cleared
when the second platoon arrived on the
field. The prize in the first class was won
by Sergt. j. G.. POstell, i'm the second class
by Lieut.. A. Minis. and in the third class
by Private G.. A. QuautOck. The prize
among the veterans and pay mem bers was
won by Honorary Member j. ID. Martin.
The men shot at the 200, 300, 800 and
GOO yard ranges, shooting five shots at
each target. The guns used were the or
binary Springfield cavalry carbines. The
Hussars, however, are aCcustOmlng them
selves 10 shooting with any kind OF gun.
The scores in the first class are as fol
lows: Capt. Gordon 45 ont Of a possible
100, Lieut.. George G. Gaillard 81, Sergt
j. G. POsteil Il, Sergt W. c. Harrison
q
termaster A. s. Eichberg 70, Inspector
r. l.. Gilbert Il, Priyates w. c. Hull
81 Thomas Hunter O., G. :. Richmond
IS, j. T.. Shuptriue SO, and +. Z. VIII
son 60.
The scores in the second class were as
follows: Lieut.. A. Minis ~. Lieut..
Minis shot only at the 200, 300 and 500
yard ranges. He has yet to shoot at the
GOO yard range, which will give him a
pbarpa a. the tpoop modal He has yyou
the first prize in the second class. and a
score of Is on the 600 yard target, at
which he will shoot today, will give him
the troop medal The other scores are
Lieut.. Il. McAlpin ,5l, Sergt. G. A. l..
Cunningham 81, Sergt. w. f. Blois Sc,
Corpl. w. w. Gordon, Jr., 81, Privates O.
J.. 1'ilton "a and j. G.. Nelson 81 on the
POO, 800 and 800 yard ranges Private
Nelson has another chance to bring up his
score on the 600 yard range, which will
be shot to-day
Private G.. A. Quantocl1 made score of
GS in the third class. The other scores
were small, and a number Of men in this
class did not qualify to shoot on the longer
ranges. Honorary Member j. ID. Martin
made a score of as at the POO 300 and 500
yard targets, and Veterans karr and b.
Hunter made scores Of 33 each.
& The Hussars carried out about fifty men,
of whom forty-seven entered the shoot
yesterday The few who did not finish
their work will go out to The ranges
again to-day. About the only thing of
Importance to be decided is to whom tn e
troop medal will go, and that depends On
how well Lieut.. Minis shoots ut the 600
yard range.
The Hussars spent a very pleasant day
on the ranges and the scores would have
undoubtedly been much better had it not
been for the heavy wind with which the
men had to contend. They arrived in
the city about Is last night.

appointed from among them to see to it

possible from that section on the regis
tratiOn list and then TO hold a meeting
afterWard for organization.
