FIRST INFANTRY SHOOT.
Militiamen Contest for State
Decorations at Shell
Mound.
Officers and Men Declare That the
Sunday Order viii Work
Great Hardship.

The First Infantry Regiment, n. G.. c.,
had its turn at the shooting range yester-
day at Shell Mound Park, in the semi
annual competition for State decorations.
The event was not very satisfactory, either
in point of numbers or in the matter of
scores. The men have done better work
on previous occasions, and while the scores
made will go on the official record, the
figures will hardly represent the skill of
the First at the butts.
All day variable wind swept across the
range and kept the men changing their
wind gauges. This, added to the fact that
good many were excused for few hours
and shot through the scores with the
greatest possible haste, had the effect of
greatly reducing the average totals.
The attendance was slim, because about
half of the men could not leave work for
the contest, and the commanding officer,
Colonel II. 2. Bush, announced that those
who did not shoot yesterday could do so
next Tuesday.
Heretofore the State shoots have been
held on Sunday. But Sunday target
shooting for State records is now prohibit
ed. Governor Budd has said that he vii,
have no more scores made on Sunday, and
that settles the matter Both officers and
men seem much dissatisfied with the new
order. 1t is utterly impossible, they say,
for some of the men to get off for target
practice on weekday. Others who can
get off object to losing the time, and de-
clare that they viii not do SO without re-
Enumeration from the State.
Following are the scores made yester-
day:
