The gallery work of the Guard is nearly
over. Thursday night the battalion teams
shot off their score and nothing remains
now except the regimental contest We'd
nesday evening. J dl
The contest Thursday night was q re-
markable one. The E1gfueers won with
the record-Dreaking total OF 474 POINTS
out OF possible 500. The Sixth battalion
came next with score OF 45p. which might
have been better il the team. had all been
present. A the LAST Jnoment it was
found necessary to plaae TWO new men
on. If the old men had been present and
made the score they have done at previous
shoots, the Sixth might have led by one
point. c15
The contests which are closing have
aroused great interest iiflhe Guard. The
results have more than pleased the depart
ment of rifle practice. Some of tile scores
have been unusually good, The Engineers
nave been able to pull out OF a very deep
hole and show that theyiare Shooters, and
the Sixth and Second Battalions have been
able to show that they have no mea IL marks
men TO choose from. The preparation
for the range work has been of the most
satisfactory nature.
The gallery closes May Is and the spring
season begins at the range May 2S, 20, and
80. All delinquents in gallery practice
have until the middle OF May to finish their
scores. The department of rifle practice
has decided that no man will be permitted
to shoot a t the range who has not finished
his gallery score. SO it behooves all
delinquents to bear this in mind and
go to the gallery before 1T is closed.
The matches TO be shot May 2S, 20, and
80 are the ones postponed from last fall.
At that time it was found impossible to use
the range. This year, then, there will be
two shoots the second commencing in the
fall. The same regulations governing
in the past will be in force at this spring
shoot. The Rifle Association will open
Saturday afternoon. 1t is expected that
the prizes this year will be very good.
