Gov. Werts and state officials Came
Along to Encourage the Team.
The semi-subdued rattle of musketry in
the rifle gallery of the District National
Guard this morning was evidence that the
rifiemen who have come from New Jersey
to compete for honors with some Of the
best shots in the local brigade were exer-
cising the muscle and the invisible but
potent forces which are called into play
when accurate mark smanship Is demanded
The visitors arrived last night. They came
over the Pennsylvania road, and were re-
ceived at the depot by Major George H.
Harries and Capt. H. NJ. Parmenter.
Gov. Werts was, of course. the principal
figure, but he was surrounded by a number
of other sons of Jersey, who. If not as
conspicuous officially, have nevertheless
earned the right to be known as high-grade
humanity. Those who were driven up to
the Normande were Gov. George T. Werts.

Jerseys Team at Work.
Gen. Spencer had his team ready for work
in good season this morning, and seemed
to be very well satisfied with the scores
made in the galley There is a good deal
Of difference between shooting indoors with
a reduced charge and shooting on the range.
but the Jersey cracks caught on to the
points quite rapidly and seemed to satisfy
themselves. While the team was busy
other members Of the party were wander
ing around the city, calling on friends or
otherwise amusing themselves. This after
noon was a season Of repose for those who
didn't care to leave the hotel but a large
percentage of the party visited The Star
Office, and seemed to derive considerable
satisfaction from close inspection Of The
Stars mechanical equipment, the processes
of making newspaper being followed from
the composing room to the press room.
This evening the entire crowd will attend
Robert ManteIfs performance of The Cor
slcan Brothers at Albaugh's Opera House.

by the management.
Tomorrow morning there will be more
Of practice in the gallery for the team, and
the afternoon Will probably be occupied by
a tour of the gun foundry at the navy yard
Saturday will, however, be the big day,
for then the match is to come of, and a
general good time enjoyed by the Jersey
men and Washingtonians who have for the
East five years been firm friends and en-
thusiastic members OF the greatest mutual
admiration society in the United States.
