General Efficiency Prizes.
The proposed plan to raise money among
the commissioned officers of the guard for
the purpose of giving a prize or prizes to
the company or companies making the
highest average for all-around efficiency
in the duties of guardsmen during the
coming year apparently meets with uni
versal approval. First Lieut.. JBruce Webb,
who has the matter in charge, has per-
sonally called upon all but thirty officers
OF the brigade. and in every instance a
subscription has been secured
Many officers have expressed q willing
ness" says Lieut.. Webb, ito give more
than ~. which has been selected as the
limit OF any donation. If interest in guard
affairs is lacking. 1t certainly is not due
to hesitarcy on the part of the officers 70
go down into their pockets when they
think 1t is fer the good OF the cause. 1t
Is a significant fact that many citizens
have offered substantial subscriptions
which have been entirely unsolicited. but
In no case has or Will donation be de-
clined In fact, it is now desired that
other than officers join in this movement in
order that more AID larger prizes may
be offered.
When this movement was started II
was thought that possibly 500 could be
secured. but 1t seems now that the amount
VIII not fall short of $500, in which case
HVe prizes Will De R1Ven-$2Ob, 800, $l5, $50
and two of SO. The other $25 may be given
as prizes to men who have never quail
ied as marksmen. The points that will
be considered in this competition will be:
Attendance, condition of quarters and
property, general appearance at drill and
parades, rifle practice, duties at camp, &c
1t is not intended to call upon a single
man to perform extra duty, but to attend
to business little better if possible 1t
would be mantfestly unfair to have the
matter decided by one drill, inspection or
rife competition.
ut IS desired that a board of officers
be selected, elected or detailed, to look
after this matter, and that the board will
be sufficiently large to have at least three
members on duty at all times, and that
they have the authority to inspect
company quarters and property. and even
the comps nies themselves, at any time and
without previous notification. This will
necessarily entail extra work on some
officers, but 1t is believed that they will be
found willing to perform the duty. A
meeting of the officers will soon be called
to perfect the plan.''
Light Battery Salute.
