THE STATES FALL SHOOT,
MiIitiamen Win Marksman-
ship Medals at the Butts
Around the Bay.
Lieutenant-Colonel Geary Secures
One More Trophy for Pistol
Shooting.

The second and last day of the regular
fall target shooting of the National Guard
brought out large number of militiamen
to the butts across the bay, though the
fact that it was weekday prevented the
attendance of many of the finest marks
men. Throughout the hours of daylight
and we'll along toward dusk the cracking
of rifles and the pop of revoivers were
heard and many good scores were made.
AT Shell Mound Park the Second Artil-
lery was in possession of the 200-yard
ranges all day, though a few members of
the Naval Battalion scored at the longer
range and the Second Brigade Signal
Corps shot at the pistol targets.
Among the rifiemen Private Utschig Of
Battery E easily bore away the palm. His
score, 4S out of possible so, was the best
of the day. This is the third consecutive
year that Utschig has won the gold medal,
and his comrades are very proud of him.
At the pistol range, Lieutenant-Colonel
Geary proved the best marksman of the
day. His score was AZ out of a possible
so and wins for him the State silver bar for
so per cent in craftsmanship. The colonel
has a chain of ten of these silver bars,
which occupies prominent place among
his trophies.
In estimating the record of each mem Der
of the Guard for the year, the scores made
at the semi-annual shoots are added and
decorations are bestowed according to the
total score. A score of so or better out OF
a possible 100 gives gold bar and the rank
of sharpshooter. A score OF so gives
silver bar and the rank of marksman,
while IS and less than so bestows the rank
of riheman and bronze bar. The best
scores made at Shell Mound are appended:
