INSTRUCTION

enables you to know more.
You can't know unless you see.
Normal sight often returns with
the use Of glasses. Spectacles
are the great sight-makers and
sight-savers. They give to
those who have them a new
power Of vision, while they also
save the imperfect sight they
already possess from further
impairment. While you can't
see less, you are bound to see
more and better, if you correct
any existing defects by prop
erly fitted glasses. Only an
expert optician can fit the eye.
We invariably inform our pat
rons what they require and
supply the exact glass needed
to meet their case.

District Rifle Team smashes the
Record at Sea Girt.
Wonderful Shooting and a Close and
Exciting FfniSh-President's
Match Shoot To-day.

Sea Girt, N. J., Sept. 6.-The stigma
of defeat which the Washington National
Guard suffered in the match for the in
terstate trophy was put in the shade
yesterday by their splendid victory in
the contest for the Hilton prize. They
beat by one point the best previous score
made by the Massa chusetts Guardsmen
in 1887, scoring 1907 points out OF a
possible ,26O.
The Twelfth Regiment, OF New York,
was second, Massachusetts third, Penn
syivania fourth, Georgia fifth, aud New
Jersey sixth.
The New Yorks tied Massachusetts, with
a total of ,051 points. but wen second
position because of their victory over the
Bay State soldiers on the 600 yards
range, the rules OF the National Rifle
Association providing that in case of
Tie the scores on the longest range decide
the contest. 1t was hairraising finish,
however.
Although the District OF Columbia won,
second position was something which the
Twelfth regiment felt proud OF.
Major Harries, inspector of rifle practice
OF the District of Columbia, and captain of
the Washington team, was the eproudest man
on the grounds.
This is the third time that the District of
Columbia has won the Hilton trophy-once
in 1890 and again in 1893.
Brig. Gen. Ordway, of Washington, was
present when the scores were added and
took pa TT in the celebration.
Gen. Wingate said that the shooting Of the
District of Columbia team was marvellous.
When Massachusetts made the high score
of 1896 in 1887, the day was perfect.

range, which they We're compelled to fire
