CORPORAL GIDBEs THE WINNER
OF the Hussars' Prize offered by
Lieut. Minis.

Corp. c. A. Gibbes has been awarded the
prize of $40 offered by Lieut. A. Minis to
the member of the Georgia Hussars who
developed the greatest percentage of i'm
provement in fitting up to June 29
The task Of making up the scores and
figuring out the results was a very dell
cate one, but under the rules, the follow
ing method was adopted as the correct
one upon which to proceed:
The score each trooper made at his first
tilt was taken as the basis of computa-
ton; then the average of all his scores
was taken, excluding, however, this first
score. The difference between the troop
er's first score and this average, demon
strated the Increase he had made in points,
and the ratio that these points bore to
the maximum, which is 60, indicated the
percentage Of Improvement
