The great 1C0.man military riff, match
between teams from the First Regiment
N. G.. q. and the Hawaiian National Guard
took place yesterday-at least one half of
it took place. The members OF the Cali
fornia team Assem- bled in full force at the
Shell Mound rife range yesterday and it
is expected that the Hawaiians also gath
cred at their range near Honolulu. The
scores made by the two teams will be ex-
changed by the earliest steamers. The
conditions were that each team should
consist OF 100 men who were 10 fire ten
shots each at 200 yards off land with
military muskets. The losing team is to
present the winners with trophy valued
at $780,
1t is feared that the California team
will have to purchase the trophy for the
islanders, for the men did not shoot in
their usual form on account OF the very
cold weather. Besides, some of the best
men in the regiment were by some over
sight or mistake left out of the contest
and the poor shots pulled the average of
49, 81 Such marksmen as G. +. WaIthsm
of Company G. A. f. Ramm OF d, q. H.
Often of l, S. Claussenius of B and II. B.
Taylor of B. all of whom are good for
from 40 to 46, failed to shoot in the team.
If the match be lost this misfortune is
responsible for it. AS stated, the men
had the elements to contend against, for
a cold, chilling wind that benum bed the
marksmen blew across the range all day
and whipped the bullets right and left,
up and down, all day and made the men
wish for a few hours of balmy island
climate 1t would have been hard to
have had the event fall on a worse day.
The local marksmen were under the
direction of Louis Barrere, inspector of
rife practice, and Major Hugh 7. Sine.
Hawaiian Consul Wilder was present on
the range as the official represen alive of
the Honolulu marksmen. AS the men
entered the range they were oh ICED to
pass com bined EN- blem of the two re-
publics, and although it was small many
raised their caps. This consisted of two
miniature flags of the United States and
Hawaii. Under these were the words
"E Plurbus' and Aloha A miniature
broom was placed between the two.
Up TO noon the shooting was remark
ably poor. A. ii. Kennedy got a cup of hot
coffee and broke the ice by going to A. A
little later Lieutenant Seeley followed
suit, but Chris Meyer forged ahead OF both
with A on Creedmoor. The latter stood
at the head until late in the day, when A.
E. Ehrenpfort made the top score of 45. as
follows: 45 "A 4 81 5. The regiment
offered three cash prizes or medals, as the
men desired, 10 the three making the
highest scores in the team. These were
won by Ehrenpfort, Meyer and Kennedy.
