The soldier boys of the National Guard
wore their shooting clothes yesterday and
managed to materially diminish the States
supply of ammunition. They were facing
the ranges al Shell Mound from early
morning till the sun went down, and even
then they appeared 10th to pick I'D their
empty shells. shoulder their muskets and
seek peace and quiet elsewhere. The boys
are passOnately fond of the fumes of ex-
p!oded gunpowder. and never is an oppoI-
tunity lost to sniff up dense clouds off it;
enough in truth to keep them in good
fighting trim for week at least.
Then there was the usual Sunday picnic
at Shell Mound, and invariably the Ma
tional Guardsmen fad themselves sur
rounded by scores of fair picnickers, who
insist upon seeing for themselves how
points and bullseyes are made. Captain
Siebe, the boss of the park and ranges, is
a most profound statistician. and as q re-
suit of his researches and observation,
states that the genter sex are never pres
ent at the ranges in so large numbers as
when the militiamen are booked to face
the targets. They will actually desert the
dance hall and lemonade tent and stand
around the smoky shooting shed as though
it we're one of the pleasures of existence.
MOST of them have their ears stuffed with
absorbent cotton. but u spite of this they
pose as heroines and are rewarded by the
approving smiles of the soldiers of the
State.
Aside from the Knights of the Red
Branch Rifles, the National Guard was in
full possession of the targets. Companies
A and of the Fifth Infantry Regiment
were engaged in piling up points for future
use IN the State competition and the bat
terles of the Second Artillery Regiment
were occupied in a contest for the MangeJs
and Wieland trophy. This handsome in
csntiVe to good craftsmanship is contested
for once each year by the batteries of this
regiment, and invariably there is series
Of very lively contests over the temporary
possession. Yesterday was no exception
TO tie rule and good scores were features
OF the shoot.
Batteries c. D, E, F. C and 81 did their
shooting at Shell Mound, while Battery B
faced the ranges al Napa. 1t was indeed
a notable struggle for the handsome
trophy, and Battery E came out victorious
with Battery c good second.
