Excellent List of Pr:zss for
This Year.

The military marksmen predominated
at the Shell Mound rifle range yesterday.
There was no regular company competi-

shot hard and carefully for the honors
that go with place In the First Regi-
ment team of 100 men who are to compete
with the Hawaiian National Guard for a
trophy.
This match will take place next Sunday.
The National Guard of California is TO
shoot at Shell Mound and the islanders at
their range near Honolulu. Each team
will have a representative at the other s
range, and the official scores will be ex-
changed by the next steamers. Every
marksman is 10 shoot ten shots on the
2O0.yard range, off-hand, with the regula-
tion musket.
The First Regiment team was selected
several weeks ago and since then the
majority have been practicing faithfully
to keep up their average. This was what
called so many across the bay yesterday.
Tie light and the absence OF wind were
favora bic for good shooting, but the cold
air mum bed the fingers so sadly that the
marksmen were badly handicapped and
this may account for many OF the poor
scores that were made.
Rife Inspector l.. Barrere had his hands
full looking after the men to see that the
best did all in their power to keep up the
average, as yesterday was the last day for
competition practice. To-day the selec-
ton of the team will be made. At the
first selection the 115 highest were chosen.
100 for the team and fifteen for alternates.
Aside from the practice yesterdays COM
petition was 10 select the regular team.
